Why is Jesus known as the Last Adam?? 1Cor 15:45

[Mosesjoel]

This scripture reads
1Cor 15:45 It is even so written: “The first man Adam became a living soul.†The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
This talks about Jesus taking the role of undoing Adamic Sin,
when Jesus died he took all the sins of the world with him going back to Adam,
He then became a life-giving spirit.

Back in Genesis, Adam was given everlasting life, to live in Paradise here on Earth, but lost that right when he partook with Eve the Forbidden fruit from The Tree of Knowledge.
His Everlasting life was altered and he began to die. (Genesis 3:17)

The human body is amazing, cells replace dead cells, and immune system prevents deadly viruses from harming the Body. Adam had a perfect body, His cells was in union with his being, when cells died they were replaced. This gave him everlasting life. When he sinned, the balance was altered and his cells were no longer in union with his body, and he began to age and die slowly, took him 930 years to actually die. (Genesis 5:5)

So if Adam never sinned with Eve they would be alive today basically,
The Garden of Eden would of expanded outwards and eventually engulfed the world into a Planetwide Paradise. This was God's purpose from the beginning.

Jesus spoke about paradise, and the old testiment and was meant by a future Paradise Earth, that oneday God's original purpose would eventually happen again, after Armegeddon.

The OT teaches

Psalms 37: 9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.

Psalms 37:11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.

Psalms 37:22 For those being blessed by him will themselves possess the earth,
But those upon whom evil is called by him will be cut off

Proverbs 10:30 As for the righteous one, to time indefinite he will not be caused to stagger; but as for the wicked ones, they will not keep residing on the earth.

The NT teaches

Matthew 5:5 “Happy are the mild-tempered ones, since they will inherit the earth"

Adam was a type of messiah (Rom 5:14)

Messiahs save people. So, who was Adam supposed to save?

I looked into the scripture saying
Romans 5:14 Nevertheless, death ruled as king from Adam down to Moses, even over those who had not sinned after the likeness of the transgression by Adam, who bears a resemblance to him that was to come.

But I dont understand your meaning of Adam being a messiah.
Just talks about inherited Sin which Adam gave to Mankind through his seed.

Rom 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

He was a type of Christ

 

[Adullam]

First the physical, then the spiritual!

 

[samuel]

Adam; first man, plunged the world into sin.

Jesus Christ; first born of a new creation, saves the world form sin. (the second Adam)

Because Jesus had the same relationship with His Father that Adam had with the Father before the fall. (Adam is also called son of God).

This is why Jesus bought our sins so that we may reconcilled with the Father, the 120 at Pentecost were then given the same gift Jesus received.

Pentacost means 50 it was a jubilee day where your are given back your land, in this case they were given back paradise lost, their spiritual land back if you will, but the difference was the rest of the world was and is dark. This is why they burned so brightly because the were surrounded by darkness.

Today we enjoy the same relationship with the Father that Adam had with the Father. The restoration of all things....

And at the end of this ''day'' when the Lord destroys death and sin once and for all, the Father Himself will come down and once again He will walk with us in the cool of the day...
