"Man"

Reference : Proverbs Chapter 24

The first man, Adam, was perfect. His name means "God's blood": a perfect blood, a perfect man, a righteous man. He knew no evil. He did no evil. He was the exact image of God.

When the first man, Adam, stepped outside the Word of God through unbelief, he broke the blood covenant. He was no longer in the image of God. Evil has entered into man. After breaking the blood covenant, the first man was no longer Adam, as to mean God's blood, but just Dam or blood.


Evil has now entered into man. There is no remedy except that man be cursed to die. The part of man that was seized by evil will have to return to dust, so that the image of God, which is the light of God in man, may be retained.
Evil could not get into the light. Evil could only remain in the blood through sin, disease, and death. We do  sin with our light through unbelief. That's the ultimate sin. Our light does not get sick, and our light does not die because the light is God in man or woman. We turn off God thtrogjh unbelief.

The writer of Proverbs says, "Do not be envious of evil men. The men and women who remain in the blood of fallen Adam. Their end is death, but the righteous man, the man or woman who has exited the blood of fallen Adam and entered the blood of the Last Adam. By turning on their light through faith, they have escaped death for eternal life.

Let's read:

Proverbs 24:1-2 "Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. [2] For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief."

The evil man or woman is the unbeliever. Their light is turned off through unbelief. They are led by an evil spirit, which is the source of their destructiveness and mischievousness.

We continue our reading:

Proverbs 24:3-4 "Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: [4] And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches."

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. All three in one. Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge. Three in one. Wisdom builds, understanding establishes, and knowledge procures.

Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge come when the individual exits the blood of fallen Adam and enters the blood of the last Adam, the blood of God, the blood of Jesus Christ.

We continue our reading:

Proverbs 24:5-14 "A wise man is strong; yea, a man of knowledge increaseth strength. [6] For by wise counsel thou shalt make thy war: and in multitude of counsellors there is safety. [7] Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate. [8] He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person. [9] The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men. [10] If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small. [11] If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death, and those that are ready to be slain; [12] If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not he that pondereth the heart consider it? and he that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it? and shall not he render to every man according to his works? [13] My son, eat thou honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste: [14] So shall the knowledge of wisdom be unto thy soul: when thou hast found it, then there shall be a reward, and thy expectation shall not be cut off."

Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge cannot be found as long as our lights of faith remain turned off. In the blood of fallen Adam, we remain fools.

We continue our reading:

Proverbs 24:15-20 "Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not his resting place: [16] For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. [17] Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth: [18] Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him. [19] Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked; [20] For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out."

The righteous man, the man or woman who has exited the blood of fallen Adam into the blood of the last Adam, has no reason to fear or envy the man or woman who remains in the blood of fallen Adam.

We conclude our reading:

Proverbs 24:21-34 "My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: [22] For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both? [23] These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment. [24] He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: [25] But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them. [26] Every man shall kiss his lips that giveth a right answer. [27] Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house. [28] Be not a witness against thy neighbour without cause; and deceive not with thy lips. [29] Say not, I will do so to him as he hath done to me: I will render to the man according to his work. [30] I went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understanding; [31] And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down. [32] Then I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction. [33] Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep: [34] So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man."

Laziness is part of the corrupted five physical senses. God is a creator, and when God is in a man or woman, they exemplify the creative abilities of God. A slothful man or woman is the one who has their light of faith turned off. Not only are their hands folded, but their light is also turned off.

Turn on your light of faith. BELIEVE and confess Christ, the blood of God, as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge only in Christ!
