The prophet's dictionary guide to the supernatural

and to live on its own. Adam’s Edenic fall changed all that and left him and his offspring to subsist entirely on natural life, that of the soul and body apart from the spirit originally received from God. The outcome made humanity more bestial than divine in outlook and behavior unable to seek their Creator on their own. Humanity’s identity became linked to the animals they once ruled and its glorious image of the Lord God became little more than the beasts in Christ and God’s mind. For case in point, read Daniel 7–8 regarding God’s likening human kings and kingdoms to brute beasts. An idea borne out of Ecclesiastes 3:18. All this happened because the human spirit died the moment Satan disguised as the serpent entered Adam’s being and contaminated all his sperm. The disaster so mutated his glorious body that it lived on as a weakened shadow of his former self. The light of the glorious life of the Creator such as that the apostle John wrote about in his gospel, “in Him was life, and that life was the light of men,” was permanently snuffed out (John 1:4, 10 nkjv). Adam and his seed were left with natural life and breathed the life of a world now under the sway of the wicked one, walking a now dead planet. The immortal spirit downgraded to a natural life became empowered by the very dead spirits cast to earth in Lucifer’s eviction from heaven and evacuation from eternity. See Revelation 12:12. The human spirit, see below, though dead to its Maker is nonetheless alive and existent in its world. The difference is now the power by which it lives and receives life (energy) to the soul and body is that of darkness. What Christ explains in Matthew 6:23 when cautioning people to beware of the light that was in them; that it could be the light of darkness. God made spirits—Isaiah 57:16—to power and enlighten His creatures. In Job 32:8, Elihu says as much before correcting Job’s negative remarks about his divine trial. John 6:63 has Jesus revealing that the spirit of a thing gives (provides and supplies) its life. With this 2 Corinthians 3:6 agrees, as does 1 Corinthians 15:44–45, which talks about the spiritual body that can only come from Christ and the soul body that descends from Adam. Refer also to 1 Corinthians 15:20–22 that explains emphatically why all people who wish to enjoy God’s eternal life must be born again and review John 1:12–13 for clarity. People die naturally because death lives in them physically. Death is a force with a command system all its own. Job 28:32 and 30:23; Revelation 6:8 and 20:13–14 all show that death has its own rules. In 1 Corinthians 15:56 it says
