Genesis 2:6-7 (The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground)

 

(The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground)

But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:6-7)

Although translated as "mist" in the English Bible, when the word in the TR text flooded the river, the word "Edu" was used as the word flood. In other words, the Hebrew word means not only fog, but also a well and a river. It would have had to be translated into a river or a spring if it had soaked the entire surface. So, the river flowed out and moistened the ground. So, in Genesis 2:10 『And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. 』.

It became "adama" because it soaked water in the face of the ground. It is the soil (adama) that has been moistened with water on the ground. Apar means dust and ash. However, when water is moistened with dust, the dust becomes dirt. 『The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground』 In order for dust to turn into dirt, water must be present. Water means the word of God. So, the dust (afar) meets with water to become Adama, and God molds Adama to become Adam (a form of dirt). Not only humans, but all living things on this earth have gone through this process. In Genesis 2:19『And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof. 』 The man was called Adam, and the other animals were also named.
In Genesis 1:2, "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. The earth was an empty water mass of darkness. By the way, God made a firmament (sky) among the water and divided it into water above the firmament and water below the firmament, and God called the ground by filtering dirt from the water (mud water) under the firmament. Muddy water means a state in which dust and water are mixed. Eventually, dirt mixed with water and dirt came out. The water (God's Word) entered the dust of the earth and became dirt (adama).

『and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul』 Not only humans, but all animals are the same creature (Hebrew: Nephishhai, Greek: Pushke). God gave life to give life to the dirt. What is the breath of life? It is the spirit.

In Genesis 1:26『And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 』. All living things are made of dirt, but only humans are made in God's image. There was life in all the creatures on this earth, but the spirit died and became a soul. 『And breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. The spirit God put in life is trapped in the dirt, so the spirit dies and becomes a soul.

In Ecclesiastes 3:18-21『I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.  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. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.  Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? 』

God created all living things equally. What Solomon says is that the process created by man or animal or God is the same. God puts the spirit in people or animals, but each has a different spirit.

In 1 Corinthians 15:38-40『But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. 』 The spirit died and became the soul. However, God has to save the spirit because man is made in the image of God. Man is the spirit that comes to life through the seed of promise. Animals do not have the seed of promise, so they only pass on the seed to the next generation. But in the Millennium Kingdom, it is said that the time will come when a child and a lion will live together.

The difference between people and animals is whether they understand the Word of God or not. He who hears the word of God is a living spirit. However, those who cannot understand the word of God have the spirit in the flesh but are dead. When the spirit is in the body, the body lives, and when the spirit goes out, the body dies. In Luke 8:54-55, “And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise. And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. The daughter of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue, died, and this is the scene where Jesus raised the spirit of the child.

The source of the material world is water. The first water was a mass of muddy water. However, the water was divided. It is divided into water above and below the firmament.
All creatures were made of water under the firmament. The water above the firmament has heavenly life, but the water below the firmament has no heavenly life. That is why God gives life limited to the material world. Under the firmament, life born in water has a limited life, and it is sustained by the light of the material created by God. However, when the light of heaven enters the earth, eternal life is obtained. That true light is Jesus Christ. The period of God's sending true light to the world (the year of grace) is limited. At the end of this period, this material world will also end.
