The First and Last Adam
What a wonderful deja vous in Genesis 1:26-31 , 2:5-9 ; then repeated in Jesus' baptism, desert visit, and ministry! God speaks and thus sows the word as seeds, Luke 8:11 . (see Parable Defined ) The seeds took time to germinate and grow just like they do today. In the mean time: Adam is formed from the dirt, Genesis 3:19 . God breaths life into Adam, Genesis 2:7 , washes and greets Adam. Genesis 2:3 ,* Adam walks a garden of dirt, Genesis 2:5 , 8 , fasting, Matthew 4:4 , and worshiping, Deuteronomy 28:47 , Hebrews 13:15 . As a result, the dirt is cultivated, Proverbs 18:20 , which waters the earth, Proverbs 18:4 , 20:5 , Jeremiah 2:13 , Psalms 19:7 .** The earth produces an abundant yield, Genesis 2:5 , 9 . Adam's life typifies Jesus' life on earth, Romans 5:14 . Thus, Jesus is the second Adam, 1 Corinthians 15:45 . Look how Jesus did the same thing His father, Adam, did: Emanuel is born of flesh, Isaiah 7:14 , Matthew 1:23 , taken from dust, John 3:
