First Mention of The Elements In CommunionFire Part II

Adam by clay in God's Image Eve by flesh of Adam made by God and the two were one flesh

Looking at those elements that are designed by God as the part and partial to partaking in Communion with Him consider the concept of the law of first mention. 

The Biblical Law of First Mention

One of the most remarkable evidences of Scriptural unity is in its internal consistency. Nowhere is this internal evidence more strikingly evident than in a phenomenon which is referred to as "The Law of First Mention," which simply means that the very first time any important word is mentioned in the Bible (often in Genesis) Scripture gives that word its most primitive, complete and accurate conceptual meaning. It serves not only as a "key" in understanding Scriptural concept, but also provides a foundation for its fuller ongoing development in Scripture and among God's people. For example:

The first time FLESH is mentioned: "The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man." For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed." Genesis 2:23-25

"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14 

"He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him." John 6:54-56

"I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one - I in them and you in me - so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." John 17:20-23

Eve is made of the substance of Adam (red clay formed and breathed into by God) taking on the (rosy) skin and blood of Him. (Female body, soul and spirit). The two become one flesh is the apt description of what Jesus prays for in the spirit of John 17. Just as two become one substance in bone, flesh and blood in creation, we become one with the Father, Son and Spirit in the New creation. The Bride of Christ is joined to the Lord by the operation of the Spirit. By Communion we consume His flesh and blood and when His Spiritual DNA becomes part of our DNA it is no longer us who live but Christ who lives in us! His love consumes us! The preparation of the Bride is the transformation that takes place in CommunionFire of His presence. We behold His glory as in a glass, full of grace and truth. We are transformed into that same image from glory to glory. That is the Miracle of CommunionFire. Just as He did it ALL for us on the Cross, He still does it ALL at His Table. His presence transforms us from glory to glory to glory to glory to glory...

Abel was the First Martyr

The first time blood is mentioned, "And the Lord said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground." Genesis 4:10 

"And to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel. See to it that you do not refuse Him who is speaking." Hebrews 12:24-25 

Cain means: quick spear rooted in a dirge, Abel means: 'breath or vapor' from red blood in the red clay... like juice of a grape poured out, to cease to be alive. When Cain led his brother to the field where the clay for Adam was used to make him, he slew his brother Abel with a swift spear while singing a funeral song under his breath.

Though the Lord offered Cain a lamb sacrifice 'crouching at his door' to offer an acceptable sacrifice, Able chose to give into his Adamic nature of sin and death and committed murder. When God asked where his brother was, Abel responded in tight lipped sarcasm, "I don't know! Am I my brother's protector?" So Cain was banished from the place of his parents and his brother to live with others who lived without God. (Man is banished from the garden and then from his heritage because of sin's choices between good and evil. Without engaging circumstances by faith, evil always wins. When evil is committed it always drives us further away from promise, love and security. It is then we become to object of angelic care and mission workers reaching out to bring us back to Communion with the Lord.)

But Abel set the tone for the plan of God for the sacrificed Lamb on the Cross. God heard the crying or voice of Abel calling out from his spilled blood and it brought judgment of sin onto Cain. When Jesus was speared by the Centurion his Body poured out blood and water. All of His life fluids poured out as the River of Life for our redemption. When it sprinkled the earth, from which Adam was made, it was as though the grapes of wrath had been crushed releasing the flow of new wine, new life for the world. The blood of Jesus, like the blood of Cain has a voice! It speaks! It cries out before the Heavenly Father and all of heaven, "FINISHED! DONE! FORGIVEN! HEALED! LOVED! ALIVE!" When Jesus ascended to heaven He and the Father sent the Holy Spirit to those who want Him, look for Him and thirst for the wine of heaven. When we drink,, He speaks to us of all that Jesus did and said. He who knew no sin became sin for us that we might be the righteousness of God in Him!
