“The Fall Of The Son Of God”

Reference: 1 Chronicles Chapter 1

The fullness of God in Adam was His Word.

The First Adam in oneness with God was to represent God to the earth.

The fullness of God by His Word dwelled in Adam. Adam was in the image and likeness of God. Adam therefore could not die.

Genesis 2:17 “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”

A man or woman who has received and believed the Word of God will never die, and can never die because the Word of God cannot die.

Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”

The Word of God is God. The Word of God in a man or woman makes them eternal.

The sin of Adam is similar to if Jesus Christ had sinned.

Adam sinned by going contrary to the Word of God .

The whole earth depended on Adam remaining sinless just like the whole earth depended on Christ remaining sinless.

Adam held the position in the kingdom of God just asJesus Christ holds today.

Genesis 1:26 “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

That’s why the sin of Adam was so grievous. For Adam was in the image of God just like Christ is the image of God.

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.”

The whole human race depended on Christ remaining in the image of God and not sinning.
The whole human race depended on Adam remaining in the image of God and not sinning.

If Jesus Christ sinned, the world would have been in peril. Jesus had to remain sinless-exactly in line with the Word of God.

If Adam remained sinless,

There will not be the need for Jesus Christ (the second Adam)

There will never be the need for redemption.

There will never be the need for salivation.

There will never be the need for healing.

There never be the need for resurrection.

There will never be the need for the Cross.

The fall of the son of God.

Let’s read:

1 Chronicles 1:2-54 “Kenan, Mahalaleel, Jered, [3] Henoch, Methuselah, Lamech, [4] Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. [5] The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras. [6] And the sons of Gomer; Ashchenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. [7] And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. [8] The sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, Put, and Canaan. [9] And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabta, and Raamah, and Sabtecha. And the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan. [10] And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be mighty upon the earth. [11] And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, [12] And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (of whom came the Philistines,) and Caphthorim. [13] And Canaan begat Zidon his firstborn, and Heth, [14] The Jebusite also, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, [15] And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite, [16] And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. [17] The sons of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Meshech. [18] And Arphaxad begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber. [19] And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name was Joktan. [20] And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, [21] Hadoram also, and Uzal, and Diklah, [22] And Ebal, and Abimael, and Sheba, [23] And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. [24] Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah, [25] Eber, Peleg, Reu, [26] Serug, Nahor, Terah, [27] Abram; the same is Abraham. [28] The sons of Abraham; Isaac, and Ishmael. [29] These are their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth; then Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, [30] Mishma, and Dumah, Massa, Hadad, and Tema, [31] Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. These are the sons of Ishmael. [32] Now the sons of Keturah, Abraham's concubine: she bare Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. And the sons of Jokshan; Sheba, and Dedan. [33] And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these are the sons of Keturah. [34] And Abraham begat Isaac. The sons of Isaac; Esau and Israel. [35] The sons of Esau; Eliphaz, Reuel, and Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah. [36] The sons of Eliphaz; Teman, and Omar, Zephi, and Gatam, Kenaz, and Timna, and Amalek. [37] The sons of Reuel; Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. [38] And the sons of Seir; Lotan, and Shobal, and Zibeon, and Anah, and Dishon, and Ezer, and Dishan. [39] And the sons of Lotan; Hori, and Homam: and Timna was Lotan's sister. [40] The sons of Shobal; Alian, and Manahath, and Ebal, Shephi, and Onam. And the sons of Zibeon; Aiah, and Anah. [41] The sons of Anah; Dishon. And the sons of Dishon; Amram, and Eshban, and Ithran, and Cheran. [42] The sons of Ezer; Bilhan, and Zavan, and Jakan. The sons of Dishan; Uz, and Aran. [43] Now these are the kings that reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel; Bela the son of Beor: and the name of his city was Dinhabah. [44] And when Bela was dead, Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his stead. [45] And when Jobab was dead, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his stead. [46] And when Husham was dead, Hadad the son of Bedad, which smote Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Avith. [47] And when Hadad was dead, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his stead. [48] And when Samlah was dead, Shaul of Rehoboth by the river reigned in his stead. [49] And when Shaul was dead, Baal–hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his stead. [50] And when Baal–hanan was dead, Hadad reigned in his stead: and the name of his city was Pai; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab. [51] Hadad died also. And the dukes of Edom were; duke Timnah, duke Aliah, duke Jetheth, [52] Duke Aholibamah, duke Elah, duke Pinon, [53] Duke Kenaz, duke Teman, duke Mibzar, [54] Duke Magdiel, duke Iram. These are the dukes of Edom.”

Adam fell and chaos ensued. God had to guide a generation to bring about the Second Adam to take the  place the First Adam.
In the meantime there are deaths, famines, storms, floods, fires, and diseases against the descendants of Adam.

The Second Adam could not come any sooner.

Let the Word of God bring you to the Second Adam. BELIEVE and confess Christ the Word as we’ve revealed Him from the First Adam. If the First Adam never sinned, there will not be the need for the Second Adam, in Christ!
