THE BLESSING OF THE LORD AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD !

THE BLESSING OF THE LORD AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD ! (Galatians 3:13-14). "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree; that the BLESSING of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ: that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith." Adam had no idea that could happen, and the devil didn't either. He had it figured another way. He thought that by capturing mankind, he could gain access to the power and glory they'd been given to rule the earth. He thought he could elevate himself to their god--like status and get his hands on THE BLESSING. But he was wrong. His conquest of Adam and his wife didn't cause him to ascend, it caused him to fall. Instead of becoming lord of THE BLESSING he had coveted, the devil is own deadness contaminated its glorious power and he became lord of the curse. At first, he didn't realize it. He couldn't fully see the deadly consequences of his actions. Neither could the man and woman. All they knew for sure was that the light of God's glory had gone out. They had no way of knowing what would happen to them and to the earth as a result. Look around you, don't you see the destruction, disease, sicknesses, poverty, and every other thing that is up under the curse staring you in your face. So, God told them, he spoke to them about the curse they had released through their rebellion. He didn't create the curse by declaration as He did THE BLESSING. (Legally, He could not do that because He had delegated His creative authority on earth to man.) He simply informed the devil first, then Adam and his wife, about the repercussions of what they had done. And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel. Incidentally the woman does not carry the seed the man do ! And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast harkens or listened unto the voice of thy wife, and has even of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in [Toiling] sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till thou return unto the ground; for out of it was thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return (Genesis 3:14 through 19). Because Adam has been given dominion over the whole earth, the curse that came through him struck every molecule of matter in existence on this planet. All the dirt, vegetation, every cell of every animal, everything from the minutest detail to the biggest thing on earth was affected by it. According to the Bible, the whole creation groaned under the bondage that came upon it because of mankind's sin. The fact the curse covered this planet from top to bottom and all the way around, and hit everything that swims, flies, crawls and creeps, reveals in reverse, the true magnitude of THE BLESSING.
