Messiah is call "the Last Adam" (1 Cor 15:45) - so let us compare with the "First Adam".<br /><br />The First Adam was created from dust (outside the Garden) and was then placed inside the Garden (Gen 2:8). The First Adam was put there to "Guard the Garden" (Gen 2:15)- the First Adam was the original "Guardener". (Is there really an English link between the two words?) The First Adam sinned by eating of the Tree (most likely on the 3rd day of the week, Yom Kippur in future years) and then attempted to create his own KIPPURAH (translated as both "covering" and "atonement") by using fig leaves. (Incidentally, both Adam & Eve wore the same covering - this is the first example of transvestites, males and females dressing alike, that we find in Scripture.) For this the First Adam was cast out of the Garden.<br /><br />The Last Adam was created within the womb of a woman, lived a sinless life and then was stripped naked, hung on a Tree, shedding His Blood, creating a KIPPURAH for all of us. His body was then wrapped in linen, buried in the earth (from which the First Adam was taken). He rose on the 3rd day, leaving the garments buried in the earth. He then went into the Garden where He was mistaken to be a naked Gardner. <br /><br />The Last Adam is a reverse parallel to the First Adam.Daniel ben Yishiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15107860920406144626noreply@blogger.com
