Satan had given Eve the apple that Adam ate of which had bacteria in it. This bacteria caused the spirit man and soul to be defiled contaminated.

I John 3:8 He that commiteth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of GOD was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

The sacrifice

This commandment was a verbal commamdment given to man by GOD. Thus began the first sacrafice by a righteous man Abel for their sins. Because of the sins of Adam and Eve, GOD made the first sacrafice of an animal to cover over their sins. The HOLY SPIRIT had gone back to Heaven and they now needed a covering. Hebrew 9:22 speaks as thus, And almost all things are by this law purged with blood; and without the shedding of blood is no remission. Even though Moses wrote the laws God had spoken to Adam a verbal law of holiness in order to live by. GOD ordered the first fruits of everything in his ordinances. Exodus 22:29, Thou shalt not delay to offer the first of the ripe fruits and of thy liquors; the first born of the sons shalt thou give unto me. Atonement. Leciticus 2:12,13&14, Numners 18:12, Proverb 3:9, Deuteronomy 26:10, Nemiah 10:35. GOD had no respect for Cain’s offering, but he had respect for Abel’s offering. So

128

Abel kept the commandments of GOD by bringing of his first fruits. Genesis 3:7-21. Cain knew he did not keep the commandments given to him in reverence to the first fruit. He was of that wicked one and cared not for GOD even though GOD continued to love him and have compassion and mercy on him until he killed his brother.

Sin

James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to good, and dopeth not, to him it is a sin.

Roman 6:20 For when ye were servents of sin, ye were free from righteousness.

II Timothy 2:26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who re teken capitrive by his will.

Cain Slew Abel

I seen in a vision Cain and Abel, Cain overpowered Abel and stabbed him to death. Abel and Cain looked like the early cave men. They sis not have complete covering of clothes only in the frint. I could not see the front very

129

well, but the side of the face. Their body color was that of a Jew or Mexican, and they had a course grade of hair not kinky.

V-8

And Cain talked with Abel his brother; And it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against his brother, and slew him.

And Cain talked with his brother: And it occurred or happened, when they were in the field, that Cain fought against Able his brother and killed him. While they were in the field away from mom and dad Cain approached Abel being jealous of the praise that GOD gave Abel, he waited for an opportunity to kill him.

130

shall be cut out.

Note

Faith was established because man did not have that personal relationship with GOD as Adam and Eve had once had. The HOLY SPIRIT was now gone and the outer covering of the flesh was covered by the sacrificial lambs skin. Without the HOLY SPIRIT and sin spreading in the land GOD would have to remove himself from the presence of man. What GOD did for the preservation of mankind was to now allow the HOLY SPIRIT to dwell inside of us. CHRIST had to now Birth forth the spirit man and the HOLY spirit would be the connection to that Birthing. The HOLY SPIRIT became the midwife the care taker the comforter for the spirit and soul. Hebrew 11:1-40.

GENESIS CHAPTER THREE

Part three

V-1

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD GOD had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath GOD said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

At this present time satan was more cunning or mentally skilled than any beast of the field, housing himself in the body of a snake he spoke to the woman, Yes? The yes came in a contradiction or challenge to the word of GOD. Have GOD instructed? You should not eat of all the trees of the garden? Satan challenges the mind.

Reference Verses

The serpent was cunning sly and a deceiver, he challenges the mind. With his dexterity he was a quick thinker that tormented her over and over again with those questions. Causing her to yield to the challenge. Using Mental skills he was able to keep her focus, her attention on him. Be witched her with the colors on the snake and the movements and his charm.)

Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD GOD to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Genesis 3:2,3,4,13,14 &15 And the woman said unto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the tree of the garden, GOD hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surly die: And the LORD GOD said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 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 shalt bruise his heel. Satan is an enemy to every woman that produces seed and he will attack the woman much harder that the man. He know that the woman is the waker vessel. Note this speak of The battle at Armageddon. Satan’s seeds and seed are the antichrist those that do not care about GOD nor his will. The woman seed is JESUS. In the book of Revelation 13, their will arise two antichrist, two of satan seeds. The first seed will be killed but the second one JESUS will kill at the Battle of Armageddon in Galilee. The first one will make a league with the leader of Israel and the leader of Israel will give up lands and rights to him because of problems in the world. After the first antichrist is killed the second one which is the son to the first will again deceive the leader of Israel’s son. This is when JESUS will step in and destroy satan seed the antichrist. Satan first seed comes from the sea verse 1, and verse 11 the last antichrist satan seed will come from the land, read Ezekiel 17 and Revelation 13. Satan seeds are a genetic defect all they will do is evil. As GOD kept the perfect gene to JESUS, satan gene was passed from one generation to the next. This antichrist is of mixed origin, Part Jew. He will be able to sit upon the throne at Jerusalem because he will prove that he is heir to the Jews by bloodline. Part truths.

II Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subility, so your mind should be corrupted from th simplicity that is in CHRIST.

I Timothy 2:13-14 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

V-2

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the tree of the garden:

And the woman answered satan, speaking we can eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden.

Reference Verse

Genesis 2:16-17 And the LORD GOD commanded the man, saying of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest therefore thou shalt surely die.

Genesis 3:1&3 Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD GOD had made. And he said unto the woman, yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? But of the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden, GOD hath said, ye shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest ye die.

V-3

But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, GOD hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it lest ye die.

Still the fruit of the which is in the middle of the garden, GOD has commanded, you should not eat of it nor should you touch it, remember the conversation that GOD had with Adam, you will die.

Reference Verses

Note Eve misquoted GOD’S commandment about eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Also the commandment wasn’t given to her, but to Adam.

Genesis 2:17 But the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt surely die.

Genesis 3:4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11 &12 And the serpent said unto the woman, ye shall not surely die: For GOD doeth know that in the day ye eat therefore, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that

They were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. And they heard the voice of the LORD GOD walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD GOD amongst the trees of the garden. And the LORD GOD called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree and I did eat. Also Genesis 2:13,14,15,17,18,19,20,21 &22.

V-4

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die.

And satan spoke to the woman, (you will not die) or satan spoke to the woman saying, you, I assure you, you won’t die.

For GOD doeth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And the LORD GOD said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, the serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. And 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 shalt bruise his heel.

II Corinthians 11:3 But I fear lest by any means as the serpent beguiled Eve through his sublity, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in CHRIST.

V-5

For GOD doeth know that in the day that ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Because GOD do know in which day you eat there from, at that very moment or time your eyes should be opened, and you should be in the same degree or state of mind as a deity, knowing good and evil. The fruit on the tree had a bacterium in it that could not be seen with the naked eye. It could only be detected through a microscope. When it entered into the body it would travel through the blood and fight against the cells. The cells could not fight it off quick enough because it reproduced at a faster rate than the cells.

These are only examples

Bacterium as it attacks the good blood cells

The most I can explain is how the bacteria got into the blood and began to fight against the red, and white blood cells. Only the bacteria fought against every organ In the body where the blood went. The lungs, kidneys, mind nerves, heart, soul, spirit, emotions,, thoughts, conscience will, desires imagination, senses. Everything that was in the body went off course. The spirit man became the lower state while the bacterium became the dominant one. Reasoning and logic were gone. Discernment gone.

Healthy Blood cells

I INTRODUCTION Blood, vital fluid found in humans and other animals that provides important nourishment to all body organs and tissues and carries away waste materials. Sometimes referred to as “the river of life,” blood is pumped from the heart through a network of blood vessels collectively known as the circulatory system.

An adult human has about 5 to 6 liters (1 to 2 gal) of blood, which is roughly 7 to 8 percent of total body weight. Infants and children have comparably lower volumes of blood, roughly proportionate to their smaller

size. The volume of blood in an individual fluctuates. During dehydration, for example while running a marathon, blood volume decreases. Blood volume increases in circumstances such as pregnancy, when the mother’s blood needs to carry extra oxygen and nutrients to the baby.

II ROLE OF BLOOD
Blood carries oxygen from the lungs to all the other tissues in the body and, in turn, carries waste products, predominantly carbon dioxide, back to the lungs where they are released into the air. When oxygen transport fails, a person dies within a few minutes. Food that has been processed by the digestive system into smaller components such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates is also delivered to the tissues by the blood. These nutrients provide the materials and energy needed by individual cells for metabolism, or the performance of cellular function. Waste products produced during metabolism, such as urea and uric acid, are carried by the blood to the kidneys, where they are transferred from the blood into urine and eliminated from the body. In addition to oxygen and nutrients, blood also transports special chemicals, called hormones, that regulate certain body functions. The movement of these chemicals enables one organ to control the function of another even though the two organs may be located far apart. In this way, the blood acts not just as a means of transportation but also as a communications system.

The blood is more than a pipeline for nutrients and information; it is also responsible for the activities of the immune system, helping fend off infection and fight disease. In addition, blood carries the means for stopping itself from leaking out of the body after an injury. The blood does this by carrying special cells and proteins, known as the coagulation system, that start to form clots within a matter of seconds after injury.

Blood is vital to maintaining a stable body temperature; in humans, body temperature normally fluctuates within a degree of 37.0° C (98.6° F). Heat production and heat loss in various parts of the body are balanced out by heat transfer via the bloodstream. This is accomplished by varying the diameter of blood vessels in the skin. When a person becomes overheated, the vessels dilate and an increased volume of blood flows through the skin. Heat dissipates through the skin, effectively lowering the body temperature. The increased flow of blood in the skin makes the skin appear pink or flushed. When a person is cold, the skin may become pale as the vessels narrow, diverting blood from the skin and reducing heat loss.

III COMPOSITION OF BLOOD
About 55 percent of the blood is composed of a liquid known as plasma. The rest of the blood is made of three major types of cells: red blood cells (also known as erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).

A Plasma Plasma consists predominantly of water and salts. The kidneys carefully maintain the salt concentration in plasma because small changes in its concentration will cause cells in the body to function improperly. In extreme conditions this can result in seizures, coma, or even death. The pH of plasma, the common measurement of the plasma’s acidity, is also carefully controlled by the kidneys within the neutral range of 6.8 to 7.7. Plasma also contains other small molecules, including vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and waste products. The concentrations of all of these molecules must be carefully regulated.

Plasma is usually yellow in color due to proteins dissolved in it. However, after a person eats a fatty meal, that person’s plasma temporarily develops

a milky color as the blood carries the ingested fats from the intestines to other organs of the body.

Plasma carries a large number of important proteins, including albumin, gamma globulin, and clotting factors. Albumin is the main protein in blood. It helps regulate the water content of tissues and blood. Gamma globulin is composed of tens of thousands of unique antibody molecules. Antibodies neutralize or help destroy infectious organisms. Each antibody is designed to target one specific invading organism. For example, chicken pox antibody will target chicken pox virus, but will leave an influenza virus unharmed. Clotting factors, such as fibrinogen, are involved in forming blood clots that seal leaks after an injury. Plasma that has had the clotting factors removed is called serum. Both serum and plasma are easy to store and have many medical uses.

B Red Blood Cells
Red blood cells make up almost 45 percent of the blood volume. Their primary function is to carry oxygen from the lungs to every cell in the body. Red blood cells are composed predominantly of a protein and iron compound, called hemoglobin, that captures oxygen molecules as the blood moves through the lungs, giving blood its red color. As blood passes through body tissues, hemoglobin then releases the oxygen to cells throughout the body. Red blood cells are so packed with hemoglobin that they lack many components, including a nucleus, found in other cells.

The membrane, or outer layer, of the red blood cell is flexible, like a soap bubble, and is able to bend in many directions without breaking. This is important because the red blood cells must be able to pass through the tiniest blood vessels, the capillaries, to deliver oxygen wherever it is

needed. The capillaries are so narrow that the red blood cells, normally shaped like a disk with a concave top and bottom, must bend and twist to maneuver single file through them.

C Blood Type There are several types of red blood cells and each person has red blood cells of just one type. Blood type is determined by the occurrence or absence of substances, known as recognition markers or antigens, on the surface of the red blood cell. Type A blood has just marker A on its red blood cells while type B has only marker B. If neither A nor B markers are present, the blood is type O. If both the A and B markers are present, the blood is type AB. Another marker, the Rh antigen (also known as the Rh factor), is present or absent regardless of the presence of A and B markers. If the Rh marker is present, the blood is said to be Rh positive, and if it is absent, the blood is Rh negative. The most common blood type is A positive—that is, blood that has an A marker and also an Rh marker. More than 20 additional red blood cell types have been discovered.

Blood typing is important for many medical reasons. If a person loses a lot of blood, that person may need a blood transfusion to replace some of the lost red blood cells. Since everyone makes antibodies against substances that are foreign, or not of their own body, transfused blood must be matched so as not to contain these substances. For example, a person who is blood type A positive will not make antibodies against the A or Rh markers, but will make antibodies against the B marker, which is not on that person’s own red blood cells. If blood containing the B marker (from types B positive, B negative, AB positive, or AB negative) is transfused into this person, then the transfused red blood cells will be rapidly destroyed by the patient’s anti-B antibodies. In this case, the transfusion will do the patient no good and may even result in serious harm. For a

successful blood transfusion into an A positive blood type individual, blood that is type O negative, O positive, A negative, or A positive is needed because these blood types will not be attacked by the patient’s anti-B antibodies.

D White Blood Cells White blood cells only make up about 1 percent of blood, but their small number belies their immense importance. They play a vital role in the body’s immune system—the primary defense mechanism against invading bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. They often accomplish this goal through direct attack, which usually involves identifying the invading organism as foreign, attaching to it, and then destroying it. This process is referred to as phagocytosis.

White blood cells also produce antibodies, which are released into the circulating blood to target and attach to foreign organisms. After attachment, the antibody may neutralize the organism, or it may elicit help from other immune system cells to destroy the foreign substance. There are several varieties of white blood cells, including neutrophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes, all of which interact with one another and with plasma proteins and other cell types to form the complex and highly effective immune system.

E Platelets and Clotting
The smallest cells in the blood are the platelets, which are designed for a single purpose—to begin the process of coagulation, or forming a clot, whenever a blood vessel is broken. As soon as an artery or vein is injured, the platelets in the area of the injury begin to clump together and stick to the edges of the cut. They also release messengers into the blood that perform a variety of functions: constricting the blood vessels to reduce bleeding, attracting more platelets to the area to enlarge the platelet plug,

and initiating the work of plasma-based clotting factors, such as fibrinogen. Through a complex mechanism involving many steps and many clotting factors, the plasma protein fibrinogen is transformed into long, sticky threads of fibrin. Together, the platelets and the fibrin create an intertwined meshwork that forms a stable clot. This self-sealing aspect of the blood is crucial to survival.

IV PRODUCTION AND ELIMINATION OF BLOOD CELLS
Blood is produced in the bone marrow, a tissue in the central cavity inside almost all of the bones in the body. In infants, the marrow in most of the bones is actively involved in blood cell formation. By later adult life, active blood cell formation gradually ceases in the bones of the arms and legs and concentrates in the skull, spine, ribs, and pelvis.

Red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets grow from a single precursor cell, known as a hematopoietic stem cell. Remarkably, experiments have suggested that as few as 10 stem cells can, in four weeks, multiply into 30 trillion red blood cells, 30 billion white blood cells, and 1.2 trillion platelets—enough to replace every blood cell in the body.

Red blood cells have the longest average life span of any of the cellular elements of blood. A red blood cell lives 100 to 120 days after being released from the marrow into the blood. Over that period of time, red blood cells gradually age. Spent cells are removed by the spleen and, to a lesser extent, by the liver. The spleen and the liver also remove any red blood cells that become damaged, regardless of their age. The body efficiently recycles many components of the damaged cells, including parts of the hemoglobin molecule, especially the iron contained within it.

The majority of white blood cells have a relatively short life span. They may survive only 18 to 36 hours after being released from the marrow. However, some of the white blood cells are responsible for maintaining what is called immunologic memory. These memory cells retain knowledge of what infectious organisms the body has previously been exposed to. If one of those organisms returns, the memory cells initiate an extremely rapid response designed to kill the foreign invader. Memory cells may live for years or even decades before dying.

Memory cells make immunizations possible. An immunization, also called a vaccination or an inoculation, is a method of using a vaccine to make the human body immune to certain diseas
