"AVATAR"!

THE AVATAR OF CHRIST!
The Unique & Nishkalanka Avatar of Jesus Christ was predicted in the book of Genesis.
Genesis was derived from the Greek verb called “gennao’’ which means (birth or Origin).


In the fifth chapter of genesis there is genealogy. Many times when we read the genealogies we think we couldn’t learn anything from them but God has written everything with a meaningful mystery.



We see in 2 Tim 3:14-17 “All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for rebuking, for correcting, for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work”.


  • In Gen 5:1-2 we see the Nomenclature “ADAM” which means (Mankind). we see the first man ADAM was lost and with him the Mankind was lost in the sin. The first sin of the mankind was an act of disobedience to the will of God. Adam fall and his subsequent spiritual death/Physical death was passed genetically to the mankind through his cell structure known as “Adam’s original sin”.

“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23).


  • In Gen 5:3 we see the name “SETH” which means (An appointed substitute) since Adam and his mankind was lost in sin. God has appointed a substitute to fulfill his plan and also to be a substitute for the covering of sin and salvation for mankind. Jesus was said to be the second Adam. He was substituted for our sins as a second Adam.


“For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous(Rom 5:19).


  • In Gen 5:6 we see the name “ENOSH” which means (Death Doomed).Since all the mankind was destined to spiritual death and physical death in Adam, through the substitutionary spiritual death of Jesus Christ mankind’s lost glory is doomed. As one man of God said that when person believes in Christ he will become “Light” and when he walks with God he will become “BRIGHT” and when He dies or resurrected he will become “Sprite”.


“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of Go is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”(Rom 6:23).


  • In Genesis 5:9 we see the name “CAINAN” which means (To acquire or Acquisition).Since fall of Adam mankind has a great desire of acquiring immortality (Moksha).Mankind was unable to acquire God by their own attempts & self righteousness. Mankind appointed way to reach God is known as Religion,which had failed to acquire God through their futile attempts. The first attempt was the formation of the Tower of Babel. God destroyed the Babel and scattered the mankind around the world.”Religion is the opium of the masses” (Karl Marx).Any self effort of mankind to be forgiven of his original sin is useless. Man cannot take out his problem. To acquire salvation God made a plan and man has to adhere to the plan of God.


“No one has ever seen God. The One and only Son-the One who is at the father’s side-he has revealed Him”(John 3:18).


  • In Genesis 5:12 we see the name “MAHALEEL” which means (The God of Splendor/The God of Glory).Man has the desire to acquire God and his salvation but God is with full of glory and splendor. We see that


a. God is Righteousness


b. God is Eternal Life


c. God is Love


d. God is Omniscient


e. God is Omnipresent


f. God is Omnipotent


g. God is veracity


h. God is Immutability


“…………….We observed His glory, the glory as the One and Only son from the Father, full of grace and truth”(John 1:14).


"In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. (Isaiah 6:1-3).


To reach the standards of God Man standards are fallen short and all his human deeds and Human righteousness are filthy rags.


"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away" (Isaiah 64:6).



  • In Genesis 5:15 we see the name “JARED” which means (Descending).God understood the desire of Mankind and he decided to descend for the salvation of Mankind.


“No one has ascended into heaven except the One who descended from heaven-the Son of Man” (John 3:13).


“who existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be used for His own advantage. Instead he emptied Himself by assuming the form of a slave, taking on the likeness of men. And when He had come as a man in his external form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death-even to death on a cross. (Phil 2:6-8;John).


So my dear friends this is Christmas. Christmas is God Descending for the mankind as a God-Man. May you accept the descended God-Man Christ as your Savior and Lord and attain the splendor of God. May this Christmas enlighten you to understand the plan of god and receive his glory.
