“Returning To The Beginning Before The First Adam Broke The  Covenant"

Reference: Isaiah Chapter 11

The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lay down with the calf. This is the earth that God envisioned from the beginning. Adam could not hold his part of the covenant. The old covenant was destroyed. The new covenant is to bring man back to original creation. There came forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David. This rod is Jesus Christ, the second Adam, the son of David.

Let's read.:

Isaiah 11:1-3 "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: [2] And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; [3] And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:"

He shall not judge by his five physical senses, but by His sixth sense of faith. We judge wrong when we judge others using our five physical senses. We should discern through our sixth sense of faith. Only God knows the heart of others, and only God can reveal to us the heart of others.

We continue our reading:

Isaiah 11:4-5 "But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. [5] And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins."

Jesus Christ, the second Adam, is the only righteous and faithful judge because he is not contaminated with the blood of the first Adam. He will use the rod of his mouth, which is the word of God. The word of God will defeat Satan in every situation. The weakest believer can use the word of God to defeat Satan at any time. The criteria is that the individual must be one with God through faith in the blood of the second Adam. In oneness with God, the Word of God, from the mouth of the believer will smite Satan, just like the second Adam used the Word of God to destroy all the works of Satan.

We continue our reading:

Isaiah 11:6-10 "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. [7] And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. [8] And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den. [9] They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. [10] And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious."

The glorious days ahead when man is brought back to original creation, where there will be peace on earth and goodwill to all men. Love will abound, and suffering will end. The lion and the lamb shall play together, and all hate shall cease. There will be full knowledge of God. All men would have exited the blood of the first Adam. They have come out of the broken old covenant into a new covenant through their blood of the second Adam.

We conclude our reading.

Isaiah 11:11-16 "And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. [12] And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. [13] The envy also of Ephraim shall depart, and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off: Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah shall not vex Ephraim. [14] But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall spoil them of the east together: they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab; and the children of Ammon shall obey them. [15] And the LORD shall utterly destroy the tongue of the Egyptian sea; and with his mighty wind shall he shake his hand over the river, and shall smite it in the seven streams, and make men go over dryshod. [16] And there shall be an highway for the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt."

There shall be a Highway to God, and the Highway is the second Adam. He said, "I'm the way." No man comes to God except through faith in the Highway, except through union with the blood of the second Adam. The only uncontaminated blood. The new blood that comes from God in heaven.

Get on the Highway to God. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we revealed Him from the first Adam. There are glorious days ahead, in Christ!
