Transported from Old Creation to New
April 20, 2013




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.

Genesis 1:31  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Mark 15:37-38  And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.  (38)  And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.

Mark 15:42-43  And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,  (43)  Joseph of Arimathaea, an honourable counsellor, which also waited for the kingdom of God, came, and went in boldly unto Pilate, and craved the body of Jesus.

(Preparation is “day before the sabbath” – Friday )

Matthew 28:1-2  In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.  (2)  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

Mark 16:1-4  And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.  (2)  And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.  (3)  And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?  (4)  And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.




Adam was made on the sixth day of Genesis 1’s week.

1 Corinthians 15:22  For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Because Adam sinned, all of us were doomed to be born and die.

When Paul wrote that, He was talking about resurrection of our bodies at the coming of the Lord.

Jesus not only died on the cross to make a way for our bodies to rise from the grave one day, but for us to have eternal life before we physically die.

1 John 5:13  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Jesus Christ died on the sixth day of the week, the preparation day which was the eve of Sabbath.


Jesus died and we were baptized into that death on that sixth day of the week when Adam was created.

There is a very powerful and spiritual truth in all of this.

Not only do we see a thought about leaving Adam’s race by dying with Jesus on the very day of the week when Adam was created, to cancel us out of Adam, but the beginning of our NEW creation existence is THE FIRST DAY AFTER THE SABBATH REST, instead of the last day before the Sabbath rest.

Sabbath is REST.

But to be removed from the sixth day to the following first day of the next week shows that we begin our activity AFTER RESTING, instead of before.

We exist in a certain kind of form during the Sabbath resting in the tomb with Jesus after His death, and THEN COME FORTH IN NEW RESURRECTION LIFE AFTER that rest.

It’s the opposite of getting to a rest by our works.

Consider this now:

Exodus 16:4-5  Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. And it shall come to pass, that on the sixth day they shall prepare that which they bring in; and it shall be twice as much as they gather daily.

Exodus 16:14-27  And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat. This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded, Gather of it every man according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in his tents. And the children of Israel did so, and gathered, some more, some less. And when they did mete it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating. And Moses said, Let no man leave of it till the morning. Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them. And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted. And it came to pass, that on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for one man: and all the rulers of the congregation came and told Moses. And he said unto them, This is that which the LORD hath said, To morrow is the rest of the holy sabbath unto the LORD: bake that which ye will bake to day, and seethe that ye will seethe; and that which remaineth over lay up for you to be kept until the morning. And they laid it up till the morning, as Moses bade: and it did not stink, neither was there any worm therein. And Moses said, Eat that to day; for to day is a sabbath unto the LORD: to day ye shall not find it in the field. Six days ye shall gather it; but on the seventh day, which is the sabbath, in it there shall be none. And it came to pass, that there went out some of the people on the seventh day for to gather, and they found none.

Manna fell for SIX DAYS, and then on that sixth day TWICE AS MUCH FELL for each person.

One omer of manna was a single portion for everyone.

The spiritual picture is that THE DEATH OF THE CROSS is a DOUBLE PORTION.

Even Jesus called Himself the MANNA from Heaven.

John 6:30-33  They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?  (31)  Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.  (32)  Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.  (33)  For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

John 6:48-51  I am that bread of life.  (49)  Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.  (50)  This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.  (51)  I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

John 6:56-58  He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.  (57)  As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.  (58)  This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

We LIVE OF Jesus as He lived of the Father.

Colossians 2:11-12  In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:  (12)  Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

You are risen with him and seated with Him on his throne.

When you really get that, then YOU DO NOT TRY TO EARN A REST OR POWER FROM GOD, BUT know you have it by sheer virtue of your UNION TO HIM.

Getting it in your head and heart that you BEGIN FROM THE STANDPOINT OF REST instead of WORKING TOWARDS it changes everything!

Kingdom power comes from the revelation of this.

When you have that revelation and apply it to doing things IN HIS NAME, then when you do things in His name and will have unbelievable power!

So, transporting us from the sixth day when Adam was created, to the first day of a new week speaks volumes, with the Sabbath rest between it all!
