Spread the Truth Blog - Peace in Christ Jesus: The Lion King - pt 3 (ligers, trunks and the blink of an eye)

We now have a better understanding, from The Lion King I and II, about lions and lionesses, as well as their different roles and responsibilities in the pride. GOD made his plants and animals just the way He likes them. We don't mess around with His creation.

A liger is a hybrid cat, a cross between a male lion and a female tiger. The liger's parents both belong to the genus panthera, but they are separate species. The liger is a huge feline and can grow over 10 feet long and weigh nearly 1,000 pounds. Ligers are intentionally bred by men, and in the wild, they occur only in legends.

Genesis 6:2 "That the sons of God [fallen watchers/angels] saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."

Genesis 6:4 "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." [first and second influx; after their destruction by the flood, as well as before it]

The subject of ligers should bring to mind the Nephilim. The giant offspring from the sexual union between the fallen watchers and women are known as the Nephilim. Like the Nephilim, ligers are giants, too. Unnatural mixing causes problems and produces unnatural results, so does pollution caused by man. Hybrid offspring end up with genetic problems, defects, deformities and just all around strangeness, such as oversized offspring with extra fingers and toes.

Tigresses suffer while giving birth to oversized liger cubs. So you can imagine what women went through giving birth to giant Nephilim babies. The fallen watchers taught men "the smitings of the embryo in the womb", meaning abortion, and likely c-sections, when it came to the birthing of giant offspring.

The world has been obsessed with fallen stars (e.g. Greek false idol gods, hollywood stars, fictional heroes), since the "men of renown", or "sons of God", in the days of Noah. The original fallen stars were the fallen angels that seduced the daughters of Adam, including two failed attempts to utterly pollute the seedline from which CHRIST would be born. The Greeks, Egyptians, Babylonians as well as other civilizations worshipped the fallen watchers, or their offspring, as their (false) gods.

The perversions started by the fallen watchers and Nephilim continued amongst men and a second influx of watchers, though smaller in size, occurred later after the flood. The events from the first influx of the fallen ones brought about Noah's flood. GOD would destroy the Nephilim, or demonic hybrids, with one devastating flood. Satan's plan to pollute the Adamic seedline from which CHRIST, the SAVIOR, would come through would not succeed.

Enoch 6:1-2 "And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven [fallen watchers/angels], saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children."

The sons of GOD, or fallen ones, lusted after the daughters of Adam. So too, did their leader, because satan (the serpent) lusted after and wholly seduced Eve, the first Adamic woman, in the Garden of Eden. An evil leader is never less evil than his followers, or he won't last as their leader for long. If the fallen watchers, the followers of satan, seduced their victims into sexual perversions, the same also applies to the works of their leader.

Sirach 10:2 "As the judge of the people is himself, so are his officers; and what manner of man the ruler of the city is, such are all they that dwell therein."

If Sodom and Gomorrah were filled with homosexual, child molesting perverts, you can bet that the rulers were the same. It's completely erroneous to believe that satan's mission in the Garden of Eden was to deceive Eve and Adam into eating some kind of forbidden fruit, such as an apple. The first time that the word "apple" appears in the Bible is in the Book of Deuteronomy (32:10), where it states that the LORD will guard His people as the apple, or pupil, of His eye. The second time apple is mentioned is in Psalms (17:8), where David asks the LORD to keep him as the apple of the eye. The third appearance is in Proverbs (7:2) which states, "Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye."

Song of Solomon 2:3 "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste."

The fourth time the word "apple" shows up is in the Song of Solomon. Here the girl, representing the bride of Christ, is comparing her love, the Shepherd, symbolic of Jesus Christ, to a great apple tree. Think about it. Jesus, the Living Word, is sweet to your spiritual stomach, or mind. When you take of the truth of His Word, it fills you and you want all of it, and you also want to share it because it's so nourishing and good.

Genesis 2:17 "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

tree = H6086. ‛êts (ates) - From H6095; a tree (from its firmness); hence wood (plural sticks): carpenter, gallows, helve, pine, plank, staff, stalk, stick, stock, timber, tree, wood.

H6095. âtsâh (Haw-tsaw') - A primitive root; properly to fasten (or make firm), that is, to close (the eyes): - shut.

H6096. ‛âtseh (aw-tseh') - From H6095; the spine (as giving firmness to the body): - back bone.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil, in Eden, was satan. The knowledge of good and evil means carnal knowledge, false duality, "two" minded or two-spirited, and hypocrisy. There was no literal eating of "forbidden" apples. Jesus Christ, the Tree of Life, or as the Shepherd, an apple tree, is not a literal tree. Satan was not a literal tree, either.

The trees are symbolic of people, hence "I see men as trees, walking" in Mark 8:24. In the Strong's Concordance, the word "tree" is "ets" in Hebrew, and it comes from "atsah", a primative root meaning to "fasten" or "to close" or "shut" the eyes. The word "atsah" comes from the word "atseh", meaning the "spine" or "back bone". So what we have is a torso, which we still refer today as the "trunk" of the body. The trunk houses the spinal cord that connect to the brain. The nervous system of the body consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs and all of the nerves connecting the organs with the rest of the body. Together, these organs have responsibility over controlling the body and communication amongst its many parts. The brain and spinal cord form the central nervous system, or CNS, where decisions are made.

And how does your body guard the pupil of your eye? With lots of care! Your brain guards your pupils so well, that you can't even not blink for mere seconds. It's why we even have a blinking contest. The brain has a "blinking center" that controls the automatic nerve action of blinking. In Hebrew, the literal translation for "apple of the eye" is "little man of the eye" in Deuteronomy 32:10, Psalms 17:8 and Proverbs 7:2, as referenced above. So what do you see in the reflection of another person's pupils? A tiny version of yourself. And if you abide in Christ, He abides in you! You can see the love of Jesus Christ in the eyes of another Christian.

So how do you eat an "apple" or "forbidden fruit" off a tree that's not a tree, but satan himself? You can't. It's a different kind of fruit and a different kind of seed. It's also impossible for all the races of mankind to come from one man. And if you didn't notice, all of the races, then being hunters and gatherers, were created on the Sixth Day. If you believe that all men came from Adam, you're not making sense. In Genesis 2:5-8, after the Seventh Day, the Word states that there was not a man to till the ground, so the LORD GOD, as the Potter, formed "the man Adam" of the dust of the earth and breathed life into his nostrils, and Adam became a living soul. GOD placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to be the first farmer, husbandman, and man priest.

The first Adam was tempted by satan in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were both seduced by the serpent, satan, who even spoke of himself, in the third person, as one of the "trees" in the Garden. Satan seduced Eve and basically told her that if she sleeps with him, she can attain enlightenment and become a goddess, to be worshipped and adored. She saw that the "tree", satan, was "pleasant to the eyes", meaning "lust of the flesh". We'll get into the verse by verse explanations of the Book of Genesis in later studies.

The following words can be found in Genesis, starting from the end of Ch 2 and onto Ch 3: man; woman; wife; "they were both naked"; "were not ashamed"; "ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die"; "your eyes shall be opened"; "ye shall be as gods"; "pleasant to the eyes"; "a tree to be desired to make one wise"; "gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat"; "eyes of both of them were opened"; "knew that they were naked"; "she gave me of the tree, and I did eat"; "the serpent beguiled me and I did eat"; "thy seed and her seed"; conception; children. Only innocent souls, such as children, can run around naked in a garden, completely unashamed. In the Garden of Eden, this didn't last very long. The "liger" from the sexual union of the serpent and Eve was Cain. Obviously, Cain was not a literal "liger", or "tigon" (a hybrid cross between a male tiger and female lion), or tree, but you get the point now.
