Vanity of Vanities
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. Ecclesiastes 3 :19
For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Romans 8:20,21
Adam was formed from the dust of the ground and the Father blew into his nostrils and Adam was a living soul. As long as Adam was abiding in fellowship with the Father, Adam was abiding in Spiritual LIFE. Once Adam made the choice to fellowship with his vain (vanity/carnal) mind he broke fellowship with the Spiritual LIFE of the Father and submitted himself to death. So now Adam is subject to that which befalleth beasts and all creation ... DEATH. For Adam did not have the divine life of the Spirit within Him.
And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: ... Genesis 3:22
The Father was not fooled in any way with the departure of Adam! For Redemption is not an afterthought of the Fathers, by which He hoped to salvage a few of the broken and shattered pieces of His creation.
For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot. He was known before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in the last times for your sake. 1 Peter 1:18-20
So the Father had the plan (Christ) to give His Spirit of life unto fallen man, that means the Father knew man would FALL!
So we must understand that Redemption is PART OF THE PLAN OF CREATION.!!!!!! For the blood of Christ is the divine Spirit of life.
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the VANITY OF THEIR MIND, Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
But ye have not so learned Christ;If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Ephesians 4:17-24
I had this quote in a email draft for over a year and now and know why --->In its spiritual meaning Gentiles are not races of people after the flesh. Oh, no! Gentiles stand for the carnal mind, soulish nature, and fleshly ways of all men, both saint and sinner. It is that which is outside of the holy seed of the Christ within! The unvarnished truth is that the entire religious world of man is outside of the holy seed of the Christ! Though the sacramental realm of ceremonies, ordinances, traditions, doctrines, programs, laws, and all external religious observances was once a glorious realm to us, it is no longer our place of habitation. The sun has set on that day and all that remains for those who walk there is the cold reflective light which rules the night where men walk in spiritual darkness. What was once a glorious realm has now become outer darkness! ---END OF QUOTE
