The story of Abraham natural chidren written in the Bible constitutes the explanation of the evolution of humanity from a married couple, to a family, and into a nation
The initiative taken by Sarah of giving her husband to her servant can be linked to Eve eating the forbidden fruit and sharing it with her husband, Adam.
We showed that to mix the purity of life with the filth of the body from the dust of the ground defiles or corrupt the life.
In other words, the use of the life from God for human and earthly purposes produces corruption.
The corruption is described as a bad offering to God (Cain).
1A.Eve/Adam
= Eve+Adam=Cain=Bad Offering.
The fact for Sarah to use God's blessing (Abraham) based on human knowledge (traditions) and for human glory leads to the birth of Ishmael.
Ishmael represents the corruption linked to the carnal life, the life born of human will(traditions).
In other words, God promised to bless the world through the child Abraham will have with his wife Sarah (Isaac). God did not promised to bless the world using the child Sarah will have using her husband.
The blessing of God to Adam and Eve was for them to reproduce themselves accordingly to God's expressed order, not accordingly to their own will.
Cain will belong to the devil, the opposition to God's will, the twist to God's plan.
2A.Sarah/Abraham
= Sarah+Abraham=Ishmael(Esau)=Traditions.
Since the beginning, God had made clear that the man was created at His likeness.
Because Abel pleased God, we should agree that he had met God's requirements, that he was the standard set by God.
1B.Adam/Eve
=Adam-Eve=Abel=Good Offering.
Abel is the life of purity built on God's will, he is born of God's will without human interference.
It is the same with Abraham and his son Isaac.
2B.Abraham/Sarah
= Abraham-Sarah=Isaac(Jacob)=Promise
Ishmael and Isaac represent two different peoples of the nations who will be born of abraham.
One of them will be born of the will of God (Isaac) and the other will be born through human interference in God's plan(Ishmael).
Every people of the earth is represented by a leader whose job is to take care of the individuals he represents.
The choice made by Esau, the first born of Isaac, between his birthright(the spiritual) and a meal (material) represents the lifestyle or the worship of the first people born of Abraham(Israel).
Those leaders and their people will use the life from God to seek for material richness, they will corrupt the life in exchanging God's blessing against the material and will be cut off of Abraham's offspring.
The second group and his leaders (Isaac-Jacob) will buy the blessing from the firsts and use it to glorify God, to seek for godliness. They will use their bodies to improve their spiritual lives, to get eternal life(the Church).
The above explanation summarizes the story of the mankind and explains all the trouble in today world.
How do men created on God's image get along with men born of human will?
The presence of the corruption next to the purity defiles the latter, the corruption contaminates the holiness, it destroys progressively the righteousness in spreading through its different components and ends up taking control of the whole body(killing purity).
This process of defilement is described in the Bible by different words like Cain kills Abel (Cain/Abel). It means that Cain mixes with Abel(Cain+Abel) or Cain takes control of Abel. The corruption spreads inside the purity in order to absorb it completely.
In the case of Abraham and Sarah, the Bible speaks about Ishmael persecuting Isaac, trying to take control of him; that's why he was sent away.
Esau was the result of Isaac persecution by Ishmael; his choice explain the lifestyles of the men born of human intrusions in God's will. Think of a rotten apple put next to a good apple.
Esau was the point of contact between the bad and the good apple. The representant of the corruption inside the purity.
To keep Isaac pure, God sent Ishmael away; God cut Jacob from esau influence like someone cutting off a rotten piece of an apple to free the good part.
Jacob choice of the spiritual above the material explains his behavior of a leader of the spiritual life, a life builds on God's promise.
Another explanation of the advance of the corruption is the marriage of people of different lifestyles: the daughters of men marrying the sons of God means the human traditions mixing with the word of God.
The corruption is represented by the people who use their existence to seek for material richness. They can grow their wealth only by using other peoples' lives and turning it into material for themselves.
Their souls are so impregnated by that lifestyle that they lose all restrain and are ready to do whatever it takes to attain their goals. They can kill people, kill their own relatives, sell drugs, prostitute their children, sell guns, start wars...
in order to satisfy their twisted minds.
The corruption controls the truth, it hides behind the truth, it twists the truth in order to justify its evil lifestyle. It is ready to kill anybody who stands in its way.
Because it lives through the destruction of the purity and of the truth, there is only one way to fight against it: to stand up against it and to die for the truth.
The rest of Abraham's descendants is a development of the above explanation as the people multiply and as his behavior translates into a lifestyle born of God's or human will.
Adam's story follows along because it is the summary of Abraham's testimony of the evolution of humanity.
1.Adam & Eve
2. Abraham & Sarah
3. Abraham & Nations
Now we can project the separation of the nations in good and evil based on what happened in both Adam and Abraham's lives; the disobedience will be represented by the followings:
1A. Eve/Adam=> Eve mixes with Adam=>Eve+Adam
2A. Sarah/Abraham=>Sarah uses Abraham for herself=>Sarah+Abraham
3A. Nations/Abraham=>Nations mix with Abraham(Jews) or Nations kill Abraham or Nations control Abraham or Nations uses Abraham for themselves=>Nations+Abraham.
The first nation to twist God's blessing is the people of Israel, Abraham's natural children.
They will use God's blessing to glorify their land, their race, their traditions.
They are only an explanation of how the gentiles will twist the word of God in order to exhalt themselves.
To stop the Gentiles from getting to Abraham(the blessing) directly, God has put him under Sarah's control.
When the Nations will try to get to Abraham, they will need to go through Sarah as followed:
4A. Nations/Sarah/Abraham.
This means that in order to use God's blessing (Abraham) for themselves, the Nations need to kill or to take control or to mix with Sarah's children, the people of israel.
But God has forbidden the people of Israel not to mix with any other people in order to help the Nations move to the right side of Abraham's spiritual descendants, the spiritual Jews or the Church.
The obedience on the other hand will be represented as followed:
1B. Adam/Eve=>Adam is separated of Eve=>Adam-Eve
2B. Abraham/Sarah=> God fulfils His promise without Sarah=> Abraham-Sarah
3B. Abraham/Nations=>God blesses the Nations without human intervention
=>Abraham-Nations.
This means that in order to bless the Nations, God will reveal Abraham's spiritual descendants, the children of the promise represented in the Bible by the Church.
The Church represent Abraham's spiritual children, the children of the promise, who will use Abraham's blessing to glorify God, to exhalt His wisdom, His holiness, His justice...
4B. Abraham/Sarah/Nations=> represent the Nations who follow the example of the Jewish Christians, they receive God's word without trying to change it, submitting themselves to the teaching of Jesus-Christ passed on to the twelve apostles.
To belong to one or the other of Abraham's sides has a spiritual meaning.
Abraham's descendants are the teachings describing the carnal or the spiritual situation of the Nations. They tell us if we will be saved or destroyed.
The Everlasting Gospel will help those who are genuine towards God(the sheep or the wheat) to position themselves with the spiritual Jews in order to be saved while the hypocrites and the liars (the goats or the weed) will refuse to change their position next to the carnal Jews and will go to their doom.
Our next post will show us how the Nations will be separated in good and evil using as criteria the lives of Abraham and Sarah and their descendants the Jewish people.
May God peace be upon all who love Him and may the grace of the Lord Jesus be with all of us.

Abraham, the chosen one
"So let us stop going over the basics of Christianity again and again. Let us go instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don't need to start all over again with the importance of turning away from evil deeds and placing our faith in God.
You don't need further instruction about baptism, the laying of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And so God willing we will move forward for further understanding". Hebrews 6:3.
A WORD ABOUT ABRAHAM.
We have seen that the corruption produced by the disobedience (sin) has spread all over humanity and is driving the mankind astray (towards evil) like in the ancient world.
To warn and to teach the faithful ones, God picked a man named Abraham to be used as an instrument to save those who deserve it, those who will be found worthy of eternal life.
In other words, from all the people born of Noah after the mighty flood; God chose Abraham to be the blessing of all the others called the nations or the gentiles.
Abraham had been called by God to bless the nations (Gentiles).
His natural children, the Jews were separated of the Gentiles to serve as a mean of salvation to them. Romans 9:11-13.
This is the only way to understand and to explain the relationship between Jews and Gentiles.
Trying to separate Jews and Gentiles based on human interests and standards is plainly wrong.
The life of Abraham (Jews) will be used by God:
A. To explain what happened and led to the destruction of the ancient world;
B. To predict what will happen in the future;
C. To shield the corruption from wrapping up the purity;
D. To distinguish the rebellion from the submission, to separate evil and good;
E. To serve as a bridge to move humanity from earth to heaven, from death to immortality.
At the end of the day, God will have fulfilled His promise of blessing all the nations through Abraham and his descendants.
The idea here is that God has shown himself through Abraham (the father of the nations).
The Gentiles who are already born naturally of their own parents can be reborn in Abraham (God) only by a spiritual way.
Since Abraham had already his own natural children (Israel), it will be impossible for the nations to pretend to be Abraham's natural descendants (it is a lie). Revelation 2:9; 3:9.
To stress that separation between Gentiles (Abraham's spiritual descendants) and Jews (Abraham's natural descendants), God forbade to Jews to mix with gentiles through marriages or in sharing a common lifestyle.
Only one way is left open: the spiritual link(the Church) that will tie the nations to abraham (God) and lead to eternal life.
Because the nations can be linked to Abraham only following a spiritual link; those of the nations who will pretend to be abraham's natural children will find themselves on the wrong path and must move to the right side in order to be saved.
It is also impossible for the nations to be at the crossing roads of the spiritual and the natural offsprings because only the Jews who left the Law of Moses for the Gospel of Jesus-Christ can justify that kind of double relationship with Abraham.
We repete that the nations born naturally of Adam have inherited of his sin and corruption that lead to death and they need to be born again spiritually in Abraham (God) in order to receive righteousness and holiness that lead to eternal life.
What happened and led to the destruction of the ancient world?
What will happen in the future (today)?
How does Abraham shield purity from the attacks of corruption?
How to distinguish rebellion and submission, evil and good?
How to distinguish the bridge that goes to heaven from the one that leads to the bottomless pit?
All the answers to these questions can be found in exploring the similarities between Abraham and Adam(the disobedience); and between Abraham and Jesus (the obedience).
To move the Gentiles from disobedience to obedience, Abraham needed to become like them (Adam=Abraham) in order to show them the opposite way toward heaven (Abraham=Jesus).
This position between Adam and Jesus enable Abraham to explain what happened in the ancient world and to project what will happen in the future.
Abraham is the stepping stone between Adam and Jesus.
Adam=Abraham-Abraham=Jesus.
Disobedience:
1A.Eve/Adam=>(Eve+Adam)
=> 2A.Sarah/Abraham=>(Sarah+Abraham).
Obedience:
1B.Adam/Eve=>(Adam-Eve)
=> 2B.Abraham/Sarah=>(Abaham-Sarah).
Following the identical patterns in both Adam's and Abraham's lives, we can uncover the causes and effects of both the obedience and the disobedience in the ancient and in today worlds.
Those patterns bring up the criteria separating rebellion from submission.
Those criteria help to distinguish the lie (evil) and the truth(good) inside the Church of the nations and lay down the two paths leading to eternal doom or eternal life
The Jews are the spiritual path that leads to heaven; they are the spiritual vessel that bridge humanity and divinity, they are the door to immortality.
At the same time, they show the carnal path that leads to destruction; they show the door that goes to eternal damnation.
If the Jews had beleived in Jesus-Christ directly, the spiritual door would have been closed as soon as it had been opened.
To keep the door opens in order to predict and project the behavior of the nations who will rebel against Him,God has hardened their mind until the right time (today).
Romans 11:25-32.
The revelation of this hidden teaching shows God's will of freeing the Jewish minds in order for them to take the lead once more and to open-close the door to heaven. Revelation 7:4;14:1-5.
A HUMAN LOOK AT GOD'S PLAN.
Let's pretend that you are a father who wants to marry his only daughter and leaves all your richness to the children born of that marriage.
But before the wedding, your daughter sleeps with her husband to be, gets pregnant and gives birth to a first child.
This child is not born following your will (plan) and will not inherit from you.
Let's say that she finally gets married and had a second child with her husband.
The second child is born following your plan (will) and will receive the planned inheritance.
This story illustrate what happened with Adam and Eve and gave life to Cain and Abel.
God wants to give the world (the earth) to those who obey him, who represent His will, his likeness, his glory; He refuses to give the earth to those who despise Him, who oppose him, those who represent themselves.
He has set the creation so that those who reject Him may be bunched together under the disobedience of Adam and Eve:
1A.Eve/Adam or Eve+Adam:
while those who respect and love Him may be gathered together under the obedience of Adam and Eve:
1B. Adam/Eve or Adam-Eve.
When a man builds a house, he designs it so that the used water, the urine and the feces, the garbage and all the dirty material can be gathered and sent away in order to keep the inhabitants of the house clean and in good health.
The disobedience is the garbage and the septic tank destined to be sent away while the obedience represents the inhabitants who will live in the house.
LET'S WRAP IT UP.
God blessed the world after creating the man. Genesis 1:28.
After the fall, God's plan is to use Abraham's life to bless the world; he will do so using the son (Isaac) born of his wife Sarah.
1B. Adam/Eve
=> (Adam-Eve) = Abel = Good Offering (GO).
2B.Abraham/Sarah
=> (Abraham-Sarah) = Isaac = Jacob = Promise (PRO).
But Sarah would not wait any longer and she took that very same life and used to have a child (Ishmael) through her servant (Agar).
Eve did the same thing and dragged Adam into sin.
1A. Eve/Adam
=> (Eve+Adam) = Cain = Bad Offering (BO).
2A. Sarah/Abraham
=> (Sarah+Abraham) = Ishmael = Esau = Traditions (TRA).
God has a global perspective, He sees the welfare of the whole humanity at all the time but the man has a limited perspective; he sees only the profit he can draw for himself in a closed area and a limited time.
When God promised to bless the nations using Abraham's life, He did it on His own; He did not ask for help from Sarah (Abrahaham-Sarah); in the same way when god created the man, He did not need any help coming from Eve (Adam-Eve), He had His own plan.
God had promised that He will bless the world through the son (Isaac), which Abraham will have with his wife Sarah; He did not say that He will bless the world through the son (Ishmael), which Sarah will have through her husband.
This means that God has His own plan and does not need any human interferences; because when human mixes his will with God's (Eve+Adam or Sarah+Abraham), it gives birth to the opposite of God's will: Cain (bad offering) or human traditions (Ishmael=Esau).
But when man follows God's lead without meddling (Adam-Eve or Abraham-Sarah), it leads to the fulfilment of God's promise (Isaac=Jacob) or Abel (the good offering).
We have seen how human interferences twist the straight path of God, how it corrupts the life and uses it on the contrary of God's assigned way; we have seen egally how the submission straighten the path of God, keep the life pure and follow God assigned plan.
Because the life is a process of purification: the fight will translated spiritually in a combat between corruption and purity.
The men who use the life against God's word produce corruption and spread it all over the mankind while the men who live accordingly to God's word will detect the origin of corruption and fight to keep themselves clean.
The corruption is produced by the use of the life from God for human or material purposes also called the human traditions or the life based on human knowledge and interests.
The purity or holiness is produced by the use of life from God for spiritual, godly or heavenly purposes also called the word of God or the life based on God's wisdom.
The male (Adam) represents the life from God (the purity).
The female (Eve) represents the Body from the ground (the corruption).
The use of the life for human or earthly purposes (1A.Eve/Adam or Eve+Adam) defiles the life and gives way to corruption(Cain = Bad Offering)
The use of life for spiritual or godly purposes (1B.Adam/Eve or Adam-Eve) purifies the life and gives way to holiness (Abel = Good Offering).
The man (Abraham) represents the life built upon God's word, a life that walks towards God's promise.
2B. Abraham/Sarah
=> Abraham-Sarah = Isaac = Jacob = Promise (PRO).
The woman (Sarah) represents the life built upon the human traditions, a life that interferes in God's plan.
2A.Sarah/Abraham
=> Sarah+Abraham=Ishmael=Esau=Traditions(TRA).
Abraham represents the man who walks following God's spirit; he lives a spiritual life. He represents the Spirit of God: Jesus, the son of God. Romans 8:14.
The nations represent all the people of the earth whose lives are based on human, earthly or material interests; they are guided by the need to sustain their material lives; they represent the human tradition, the carnal life or the life controlled by the body needs also called the flesh.
They will be called byGod to abandon their old lifestyle for the new one brought by the Gospel.
The responses of the nations to God's call will have them redirected and separated in Disobedience and obedience (rebellion and submission or good and evil).
In our next posting, we will show how the nations have gone through God's plan buit around Abraham's life following below summary.
Evolution of the mankind
