Genesis 5:2
“Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.”
Male and female were called Adam. The word “Adam” means red. The name Adam is a Hebrew name which means son of the red earth. Adam is of the earth, earthy. God named him after his make. Adam’s name was not given at formation but at creation. The name Adam is a name of both the male and female. They were both “Adam”.
Creation is a spiritual thing; God created the spirit and the soul in Genesis chapter one but he became a living soul in chapter 2. The word “living soul” is the naming of the state of Adam. The alignment of state naming started from heaven. The first creation started in heaven - God made beings who are heavens. The first angelic beings are called ‘spirits’; the second are called ‘flames; the last are ‘works of his dominion’.
Adam was made a little lower than heavens. Man was almost in heaven; he was not far from heaven. Man was not doing anything outside what heavens were doing; he was in alignment with heaven. So, man was not the outward body. The man of the earth was not the outward man. He was not named after his earth. He was named before he wore the earth suit. So, the name Adam is mainly for spirit and soul. This means that the spirit and soul were of the earth, earthy. “The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven” (1 Cor 15:47).
We can have insight into when God named them. “Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created” (Genesis 5:2). They were named Adam in the day they were created. The man was first in the garden before the woman was brought. It was not the next day that God brought Eve. Adam must have lived for long before God brought Eve. The woman was not anywhere else but inside Adam. The name Adam was on both the male and female. The name Adam came before God used earth to clothe them. The word ‘Adama’ is not earth as in sand. Many preachers call the sinful nature the Adamic nature but if this is true, it means Jesus had a sinful nature because He was the last Adam.
There is something in God called earth, it is red; it is Adam. The word Adam is a spiritual thing on earth just like their spirit is earth, not heavens. Their spirits were made out of earth; it was of the earth earthy. It was only Jesus that was the Lord from heaven. Man is not the same with stars, moon, earth ball, water. Man is not the same with bull, lion and all the animal family. Man was not made the same way those things were made; those things were just purely physical earth. Man was more than just pure physical earth; man is the original earth. God only needed to put man in a place. The plane called earth is vast. The only being that can handle earth is the man Adam.
Genesis 1:27
“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
Genesis 5:2
“Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.”
God must have told Moses to emphasise when they were named for the purpose of conviction. It is clear that the name was given in the day they were created. Many think that the name Adam was picked from the soil. There is something called earth in the spirit. Earth is not sand, even though it is a lower plane compared to heavens. Heaven is more than the physical planes in heaven.
Angels were made out of heaven but man was made out of the original earth. Man was of the earth earthy. Our Lord Jesus is from heaven but our Lord is not made of heaven. He was not heaven but He came from there. Our Lord was from heaven but became Adam. The power that condescended the Lord from God to man is not different from the power that raised Him from the dead. It is the same power that reduced the creator to a creature. That kind of power is unthinkable. It was love.
Philippians 2:6-8
“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
Angels are more heavenly than heaven. Adam is also more earthy than earth. This is why the angels could stay even after the heavens were set on fire or passed away. This is because they were made of heavens. This does not refer to the physical heavenly planes that can be seen.
Hebrews 11:3
“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.”
Worlds here do not refer to cosmos but planes. So, the things here do not refer to the software but the hardware. It is clear that what did not appear is what the word of God framed. There was an invisible earth that GOD first made; He framed/formed it. There is something that does not appear that is of this earth – it is the original substance where Adam came from. Our spirits and souls are made out of that material. The human spirit is actually the word of God of the earth.
The spirit of a man is earthy; this means it is spiritual but it is earth. Earth is not physical, it is spiritual. The earth that God brought to the (physical) earth is a word. The earth is a word but God created it, and that is the word controlling this earth. And the one who can hold it must be framed in a like manner. An animal cannot carry that word. The only one who had capacity to hold that word is Adam because he is another frame of that word.
Adam or the red earth is the highest earth. The red earth is the god of earth, not Satan. He had everything it takes to rule the earth. Jesus told the sea to stop; He did that as an Adam. Jesus partook of a tiny tribe of Adam’s lineage. That a man is called Adam is not a body thing but a spiritual thing. If it was a bodily thing, any man can bear it. Red-skinned men like those from the east are not Adams. It is not about the colour of their skins. Esau was red but that was God’s intervention. God cannot forget Esau. He was the one God originally chose. God did not hate him from his origin but because of his behaviour. The inheritance was in his body but he refused it. But someone whose flesh was plain went far to get the inheritance. What was given to the male and female as “Adam” was their authority, that was their crown. When God said “be fruitful”, he was describing the function of Adam.
Revelation 22:1-4
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.”
The servants of God have His name on their foreheads, signifying authority. The seal of His name is red earth. Red earth is the best earth; by giving Adam the red earth, He gave him all the earth. God gave Adam a sardine of the earth. Their name was called Adam: they were of the earth and wore it from head to toe; that was the only way they could bear authority over the earth.
“And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald” (Rev. 4:3). The Being seen as a Jasper and Sardine stone is God. Satan knows how to fight sardine stones, with the aim of bleaching it. Satan bleached the earth, stealing from it as he did. Thus, we see him in Revelation 12 in a little lower heaven, as being red. But he was not actually red; he sat on the red beast to ascend by him. Satan also gave the beast a scarlet colour. No one can rule the earth without ‘red’.
Revelation 13:1
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.”
Revelation 17:1-3
“And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
[2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
[3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.”
The beast was full of names of blasphemy but was not yet named on his forehead. He had not yet done what would warrant the giving of the scarlet name to him. There are names and there is the fullness of names. The fullness of the name typifies the fulness of stature. The fulness is the body of the name. It would take names to operate the name. The fulness of the names were in him; what remained was his head. In Rev. 17:3, the beast had not yet had the name on his head, else the woman would not be seen as sitting on him. He rose up from where the woman sat and had worked, so that Satan can now give him the reward.
Jesus also promised to give the overcomers a name. But first, we must bear His name upon our bodies, then we will be rewarded when we have finished the works. Works are the names of the name or works of the reward.
The earth was not originally red until Adam was brought in. God gave Him ‘red’ which typified dominion. God is sardine (red). The rest of the stones are contained in the jasper and sardine stones. All the attributes of God can be carried by both stones. Sardine is the name of His Person; while Jasper is the glory of Sardine. God is seen as a Jasper and Sardine stone; Jasper is the shell (the outward), while Sardine is the inner being. When you shine sardine, it will beam jasper.
Revelations 21:10
“10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,”
The city has the glory of God; it is covered and enveloped like Jehovah does. The city had light like a precious stone, a jasper stone. The jasper which John saw was the glory of God. Jesus is the brightness of God's glory and the express image of His person. His person is Sardine, while His glory is Jasper. When Sardine shines, it beams Jasper. Sardine and jasper are close stones.
Satan fought earth, and removed all ‘red’ attributes from it, until it became flesh. Not all Adams are the same. John the Baptist was an Adam; we know an Adam by what they carry. John’s words were like those of Jesus. He had everlasting life and so could touch Eternal Life. Of all men born of women, none had risen like John (Mat. 11:11). Even Moses did not speak like John; John had a spectacular power. John kept saying “…He who told him…”. That ‘He’ was Jehovah, the Lord Almighty.
Luke 3:22-23; 38
“And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. [23] And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli…
[38] Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.”
From Luke 3:38, we see Jesus being the last Adam was traced through other Adams to the first Adam. The person that was raised a son of God was an Adam. This tells us that anyone could be a man, but it was Adam that was a son of God as seen from Luke 3:38. Adam was the one of red nature.
In John 3:31, John was not referring to just anybody but men who are of real earth. “…he that is of the earth is earthly, and speaketh of the earth…” This means the earth is a word. The Church at large is not speaking ‘earth’. Though our spirit-man has been recreated by God, a believer can still be speaking carnally because of the soul. ‘Speaking’ is not an ordinary activity. A lot of people are made but they’ve not been blessed. To be blessed is to give you names; that is, to give you the originality of your word – the words of your world.
The blessing is giving the virtue and power contained in the word. The original way God blessed was by speaking. Jesus asked His disciples what men said He was, and asked them also what they knew He was. Peter spoke, ‘Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God’. Then Jesus responded, ‘Blessed art thou...’ Peter was blessed by understanding. This therefore means that our understanding is the channel of blessing us. shows our blessing. To bless a man is to give things that will make him identify his calling, reason, purpose and the intent of why he was made.
(Num. 6:23-27) The manner of God’s blessing upon His people is as He ‘says’ unto them. When God begins to say, He begins to name. “…And they shall see his face, and his name shall be upon their forehead.” When God named Adam, He opened him up to the secret of the earth such that Adam too could name animals. As Adam named the animals, he was blessing them. It is one who is blessed of God that is worthy to bless others. One who can name creation is one upon whom God has put His seal.
Adam was a red soil, meaning red earth. But the name of our God is not a red earth name. (Rev. 3:12). Elohim Sardine is the name of ‘My God’ and the name of the ‘City of My God’. Isaiah saw the Lord having dyed garments dipped in blood from Bozrah; the garment is a name (Isa. 63:1-2). The Lord deals with red and wine fat. The wine fat is the cluster of the vine of those who perish – those of the wrong earth. These vines were grown by Satan who wanted to make of them false Adams. Thus, Jesus came pressing them, thereby destroying the wrong name and image from them.
