Genesis has within its narrative the blueprint for life.
Genesis explains the nature of sex, life and death, in simple metaphorical language because ordinary, everyday people, then, and now, are not students of quantum physics. Today’s discoveries would not have been comprehended in times of antiquity. Though Genesis was written in simple terms, closer examination reveals that the author was in step with the understanding of the nature of the universe. The logos and the Christ of God are one and the same. Christology is closely connected to quantum law.
John the Baptist was asked if he was the Christ or Elijah since there was a question about his authority to baptise. The expected Christ child was understood to be the incarnation of Elijah or one of the previous prophets.
Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; Blessed be the name of the Lord (Job 1:21)
The wicked are estranged from the womb; They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies. (Psalm 58:3)
John made it clear that he was neither the Christ or Elijah, yet Jesus said plainly that he in fact, was Elijah. There are two arguments:(a) John was not Elijah, but had the spirit and power of Elijah. (b) John was Elijah but had no remembrance of his previous life- which is consistent with what the bible teaches. It is interesting to note in Luke’s gospel that when John the Baptist was still in the womb, he jumped for joy when he heard the voice of Jesus’ mother when visiting Elizabeth. Jesus was born in the fullness of time through procreation of the flesh - through the seed of a woman, predestined to become the means of expression of the logos, the Christ of God- even before the foundation of the world. It was not a rescue plan. Through the seed of Adam- the beginning of the creation of Christ within humanity had begun.
In the style of Genesis, the narratives of Jesus’ life, including his signs and wonders, death and resurrection, are metaphors for a more glorious death and resurrection-the death and resurrection of the spiritual Church, a new creation in Christ from the dead body which was the institutionalised religion of the day. Jerusalem was to raise from the ashes after its destruction as a new creation in Christ, a body of believers who are not saved by the keeping of a law, but by faith and knowledge of the Christ. It is our choice to be born again into this quantum body of Christ that now exists in the world, not through religion and false worship, but by simply loving one another in spirit and in truth.
