We hate death, and Yah did not intend us to be subject to death, and told Adam to avoid death by not eating of the tree of knowledge.

He did not directly tell the woman and we must assume here her knowledge of the subject came from Adam, but her understanding was imperfect so she was able to be deceived by the Serpent,

It is important to understand here the difference between the Woman’s guilt and the Man’s guilt.

Adam alone is responsible for bringing ‘Death’ into the world by eating the forbidden fruit; he alone was told by Yah not to do so.   The woman was deceived and was therefore not culpable, Adam was not deceived, he made a choice.

Adam was told of two deaths, the death of the dust of his body and the death of the Breath that Yah breathed into him, These two are separate but interrelated, The death of the body became inevitable but not immediate, The death of the spirit was immediate and damaged the ability of Adam to commune with Yah and hence have spiritual understanding of Yah.

We encounter the ‘Angel of Death’ in respect to Moses, first at the circumcision of his sons where the approach of the Angel of Death is confounded when Zipporah throws the child’s foreskin at Moses thus bringing him under the Brit (covenant).

Death is an intersection of physical death and spiritual death, the Brit (covenant) enshrouded Moses and the Angel of Death could not therefore bring about the final death (of both entities).

The second occurrence is on the night of the Passover where those who daubed their lintels with the blood of the paschal lamb (another covenant) were ignored by the Angel of Death.

Adam’s kingdom is a kingdom of death, Yah’s Kingdom is a kingdom of Life, covered by the blood of the lamb.

In the same way, Job was covered, and Satan had to seek Yah’s permission to attack him.

Death rules supreme in Adam’s world, but we can move away from it if we shelter under the blood of the lamb, or in our context under Yahushua. and thus be reborn from above. We are reborn in the spirit as such.    BUT, Yahushua may well have died on the upright pole (stauros), but he resurrected, death could not hold him.

Death is like an impenetrable jungle, but Yahushua cut a pathway through the jungle to LIFE!

Many acknowledge the death of Yahushua, but do they then follow the pathway he cut on His way to resurrection?

Yahushua is “torah made flesh and dwelling amongst us”, so if we reject Torah we will never find the pathway to our own resurrection hidden behind the doorway of the ‘cross’.

Torah was not ‘nailed to the cross’ it is our ‘dogma’ (unsubstantiated opinions) which must be left behind to be sacrificed alongside the lamb.
