Adam first Priest to fail God, then the Jews, then the Christian Church!!!

 Bloggers, as if the first war in heaven at the initial rebellion of Lucifer the anointed Cherub in the highest heaven where God is was not bad enough, the rippling effects of that chaos eventually found its way to God's creation of Man and Woman at God's Garden of Eden on earth and wreak havoc on everything that walks, creeps, crawls, swims, or fly's, and Adam too. Bloggers please note, I love to landscape and especially to garden. For me gardening is a divine and scared thing because I view it is a temple of natural beauty. However, my experience with landscaping and gardening has always meant that the garden demands and requires a great deal of tender love and care and it is a time-consuming endeavor if one has ever tried it. It is like adopting more living beings into your life than one can take care of because just one being at a time requires a great deal of attention by itself and then to add other demanding things to our lives is cause for extra pressing things unto ourselves, but from different angles of our lives. Therefore, making time for just one responsibility in our lives, like our family or work or hobbies, is enough to deal with at one time, let alone if we are trying to manage time to all the things equally in our lives at one time. That translates to hard labor and being able to multi-task, however, will that effort suffice because no matter what all those responsibilities are that we are trying to satisfy, in the long run they will wear us out financially, spiritually, and physically, eventually. Nevertheless, I love to make time even now for shrubs and trees in my yard, but no more flowering plants or small plants. And it was my dad who gave me this love for the garden and landscaping since I was a boy. And coincidently I worked in the Yard Squad in the reform school not by my choice but theirs at the Reform School. And in Prison twice I was placed, once I made trustee, in the Yard Squad by the Prison System and not by my request. So, gardening and landscaping is an art and craft that I really enjoy, and I love it, and it follows me everywhere that I go. And since I am alone, I can devote time to it. And when I can, I still enjoy being out hiking in natures natural beautiful woods and enjoy nature even more in its spacious rugged outdoors. And it is here that I have time to reflect on the histories of human beings and their relation to God and I wonder about what went wrong with this beautiful song that the nightingale in the late-night sings. Have you heard them singing at late night about past midnight in their trees? I love it because they are happy to be able to hear the echoes of their romantic notes bouncing of the walls of small hills at this valley. And they can harmonize beautifully and rhythmically but there is something that will always pop-up and scare the poor things and screws up their sweet songs that they seem to love because of the silence of the serene night, and then they have to fly away. Our lives are like that... something is always popping up out of nowhere and throwing us all off balance and sweet harmony. It's like as if someone or something just crawled out of some hidden dark forbidding cave and came at our Leonardo De Vinci's Vitruvian man and ripped him and tore him to pieces and screwed up all the scale and proportion and balance from him. And afterwards that good looking and handsome happy spiritual geometrical fellow couldn't be recognized anymore. He was like the misfits or homeless people living under a bridge with thousands of flies buzzing around or buzzards for that matter, waiting for him to give up the ghost. What happened to this earth and its beauty and scale and harmony after the fall of man here at God's Garden? Who tore it up so badly that even the garden moans and groans in despair and miserable agony? It was Adam's neglect of God's Garden when he failed to look out for that invisible venomous snake. And it was the ripple effect of some of the Eons after their Sin and Rebellion in the air and water and after the war in heaven, that this beautiful precious earth flower was violated and disturbed. Why can't we get anything right in our life and why are there too many weeds in our pretty garden every day? I just cleaned those weeds out yesterday! I remember a dream of years ago that I saw myself at my old rent house at the corner of 700 Center and Jackman Street in San Marcos, Texas. And I was standing looking out my front screen wooden door, and I was admiring the great beautiful garden my wife and I had built there. It was a beautiful colorful day that day of the dream. And in the dream, I knew that I no longer lived there. And I also knew my wife had died. And as I looked at the garden that had attracted many people passing by back then, I saw two of my nieces on my wife side walking in the house and they said hello and then went inside to be with my daughter. And as I looked at my garden I spoke out loud and said this to myself and the garden and I said, "I am glad I got to see my beautiful garden again, but I have so much work to do to it still!" I said that because I saw weeds beginning to grow among my plants again and I had to clean it before they took over the garden like the jungles now do when they hide ancient monuments. That ended that dream. Nonetheless, do you know that another one of my great loves is to study history and the Bible. And as I walk through the woods, I envision why God left the ancient and present Priesthood of the Jews and of Israel. These poor guys were human beings like us too but during Moses Exodus the Hebrew people made a covenant with God that they would agree to be a Priesthood to God and they would obey His commands and live holy lives. But when they found out that they couldn't live up to that expectation, they turned to Moses and said, 'You be our Mediator Moses!' So, God appointed Aarron, Moses' brother and his sons to be God's priesthood to himself and for Israel and then these would in turn be a grand Light of priest to the rest of the World. That was a tall tall order for mere mortal man to accomplish. Hence, we see here in the Exodus where even Aarron like Adam, fails the people and God too when he builds the Golden Calf. And throughout the whole Bible we will see this habitual pattern of sin in all its forms being displayed and revealing the corruption of the ancient and even late period, which is our present time, where the Jewish priesthood fails God over and over again but at a repulsive level. And we will see very clear the grave consequences of Sin and Disobedience to God, not only on a personal level for the sinning priest but to his family and eventually to the Nation and Nations as a whole. So, when we Sin it has a dominoes falling effect to all the nearby standing dominoes. But there is one time and a great scene in the Book of Nehemiah chapter 13:25 where I see with my own eyes how troubling this seditious act of perverted corruption among the priesthood of Israel is acted upon by Nehemiah himself, and God even seems to be okay by how Nehemiah reacts against these priests of Judah. This Chapter in Nehemiah is something that I had overlooked for a long time but when I saw it, my mind was blown away by this. But even God curses these apostate corrupt and perverted Jewish priesthood and its people for what they have committed and omitted from their Godly lives. Just think about the responsibility of doing and being all those things to all the people of the world and to themselves and then to God. From what I see and understand about the Priesthood of God Almighty is, that being a priest is a dead serious business. There is no room here for making money off of God's business and there is no room for taking advantage of people for personal gain. And surely there is no room for priesthood to require sex from females for their own pleasure at the threshold of God's Holy Tabernacle. And for sure the congregation of Believers cannot be looking the other way as if they didn't see anything wrong in those actions by the priesthood of God. However, don't we see the American and World Christian Church as no different than the ancient and present Jewish priesthood of today? Read Nehemiah Chapter 13 and compare to us. How are we any better than them? Aren't we failing God everyday regardless the fact that Jesus Christ is our Righteousness and Mediator just by us being exactly like the Jewish Priesthood? And so why do we think that we deserve special treatment when after all, we are walking in the same footsteps of Aarron and Eli and so many other High Priest and Priest of Israel? The Weeds in the garden have overtaken us and we are drowning in over our heads with just trying to stay alive and survive the moaning and groaning of the earth and the broken songs of the nightingales that are trying to reach the ears of its lover. Are we like, the Vitruvian Man and have we reached that geometrical Golden Ratio? Heck no... and we can't reach that ratio or geometrical status by ourselves or on our own because we are all flawed by nature. Moreover, Christians are not measured by their physical looks or extra-biblical beliefs by our God. God measures our spirit and soul and body by who we believe in and who we confess our God to be and how we conduct ourselves. And even when we try to be good, Satan comes out of nowhere and knocks us down and there we go again, let's keep trying... that is all we can do. But anyhow, Christians need to ask God for sincere forgiveness because of the sins that we commit daily. But, without a nest, the nightingale bird laments, that unless a lover manifest soon, time will run out on its physical strength with the little by little that it takes to build a nest, and then it will die in the waiting and building and so will he. But...in the by and by in those happy shores of Paradise someday some will wake up to a garden that will blow your mind. I haven't seen Heaven, but I did see that Garden of God in the Millennium, but not the Garden in the New Jerusalem, but I have seen hell too. And all I can do is hope I qualify to get to the garden in the New Jerusalem don't you. Will we make it? Well, I still wish for that nice Christian female nightingale bird to build a nest with before I die. So Let Us Sleep On That for now and thanks again. If you are a Priest of God, watch your steps carefully and keep your shoes clean and on because you don't know when a very strong tornadoes wind will come by and we have to fly, and I hope to see the nightingale birds flying nearby!
