THE
HEADS IN THE BIBLE
Pastor
J. C. O’Hair
It is most interesting to compare
Genesis 1:27 and 28, and Genesis 9:1 and 2, which we quote: “So God created man
in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created
He them.” “Be fruitful and multiply, replenish the earth, and subdue it, and
have dominion over the fish, the fowl and every living thing.” “And God blessed
Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish
the earth. And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast
of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air.”
Let us read and compare Psalm 8:4 to 8
with the wonderful truth of Hebrews 2:6 to 9. Note the last sentence in Hebrews
2:8 and 9: “But now we see not yet all things put under Him. But we see Jesus,
Who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned
with glory and honour; that He by the grace of God should taste death for every
man.”
We shall learn that what was lost in
the first Adam shall be restored in the last Adam. Read I Corinthians 15:20 to
26.
God said in so many words, to Adam; “I
want you to be My head on earth.” But Satan came on the scene and put God’s
first man under his feet. Then God promised the Redeemer, the Second Man, Who
would put Satan under His feet. Christ will surely do this. (Genesis 3:14 and 15).
Satan became the prince of the world.
Note Luke 4:5 to 7: “And the devil, taking Him (Christ) up into a high
mountain, shewed unto Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
And the devil said unto Him, All this power will I give Thee.”
The people on earth from Adam to Noah
continued to grow worse and worse until God said, “the end of all flesh is
come,” and He had Noah prepare the ark in which his righteous family was saved.
Over the renovated earth God placed
Noah, establishing human government. (Genesis 9:1 to 7). But Noah sinned and
Ham sinned (Genesis 9:20 to 22); And then all of the human race sinned at the
tower of Babel, and God destroyed their buildings and their religion and
scattered them abroad on the face of all the earth. (Genesis 11:9). Then God
gave them up; and they went in to universal idolatry, adultery and
unmentionable sins. (Romans 1:21 to 32).
Out of the wreck God chose a man as
good as dead - Abram. Note Hebrews 11:12: “Therefore sprang there even of one,
and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude.” God
promised a great nation out of Abraham. (Genesis 12:2). Israel came from
Abraham. Jehovah said to the nation that came from Abraham: “The Lord shall
make thee THE HEAD, and not the tail; and thou shalt BE ABOVE ONLY, and thou
shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord
thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them.” If not,
what? “He shall be THE HEAD, and thou shalt be THE TAIL.” (Deuteronomy 28:13
and 28:44).
It was certainly “Heads” and “Tails”
with Israel. Up and down. “The Lord removed Israel out of His sight. So was
Israel carried away out of their own land to Assyria unto this day.” “And the
Lord said, I will remove Judah also out of My sight, as I have removed Israel.”
(II Kings 17:23 and II Kings 23:27).
Away to Babylon went Judah, and “the
times of the Gentiles” politically, began. Then God’s message to Nebuchadnezzar
was delivered by Daniel. “Thou, O king, art a king of kings: for the God of
heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and strength, and glory. And
wheresoever the children of men dwell, the beasts of the field and the fowls of
the heaven hath He given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over them
all. Thou art THIS HEAD of gold. (Daniel 2:37 to 40).
According to Daniel 2:34 to 45, a
Stone will be let down from the heaven and fill the whole earth.
That Stone is Christ, now in heaven
Head over all things to the Church. (Ephesians 1:23). He is the coming Prince
of Peace and will be the only Ideal Head. (Revelation 19:11 to 21 - II
Thessalonians 2:1 to 12 - Isaiah 9:6 and 7 - Matthew 25:31 to 41 - I
Corinthians 15).
What is the Gospel?
Believing Christ died, that’s
HISTORY.
Believing Christ died for YOUR sins
and rose again, that’s SALVATION.
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel
which the preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you,
unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all
that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day
according to the scriptures. 1. Corinthians 15:1-4
