A Time To Be Born And A Time To Be Born Again"

Reference: Ecclesiastes Chapter 3

The first Adam was sent away out of the Garden of Eden by God after he broke his covenant with God. He could only come back into the garden through a new blood covenant.
Every child that will be born in the bloodline of the first Adam will have to be born again through the new blood covenant. This is their only means of coming back to God.
To be born again is the second birth, to be born out of the bloodline of the first Adam into the bloodline of the second Adam.
No man or woman returns to God in the condition of the first Adam. They return to God in a new condition, in the condition of the second Adam. They must be born again. You must be born again. I must be born again.

Let's read.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: [2] A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; [3] A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; [4] A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; [5] A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; [6] A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; [7] A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; [8] A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. [9] What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? [10] I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. [11] He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."

Eternity is set in the heart of man and woman because the spirit of men and women does not die. The new birth or being born again is the removal of the spiritual light that makes the man or woman, out of the blood seed of fallen Adam, into the blood of the new Adam. This is done by the man or woman turning on their spiritual light by faith, and placing that faith in the blood sacrifice of the new Adam. By this action, they enter into the new covenant, provided by God through the new blood, the blood of the second Adam, the blood of Jesus Christ.

We continue our reading.
Ecclesiastes 3:12-17 "I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. [13] And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God. [14] I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. [15] That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past. [16] And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. [17] I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."

A time to be born, a time to be born again, and a time to be judged . The judgment is based solely on the bloodline, whether we remain in the bloodline of the first Adam through unbelief, or we have escaped and entered the bloodline of the new Adam through faith.

We conclude our reading.

Ecclesiastes 3:18-22 "I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. [19] For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. [20] All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. [21] Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? [22] Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?"

Life begins after death. For the one who remains in the blood of the first Adam is a life of torment. For the one who escapes the blood of the first Adam into the blood of the second Adam is eternal life of peace with the Creator. This place on earth is only a time for the sons and daughters of the first Adam to return to God as sons and daughters of the second Adam, through the God's new blood covenant.

Enter into God's new blood covenant by simple faith. BELIEVE, and confess Christ, the second Adam, as we have revealed Him from the first Adam. A time to be born and a time to be born again, in Christ!
