Genesis 1:26-27 \u201c<\/strong>And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own<\/em> image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Genesis 5:2 \u201c<\/strong>Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact the word create<\/em> in Hebrew is bara<\/em> (\u05d1\u05e8\u05d0<\/span>) with the letters meaning Son<\/em> (\u05d1\u05e8<\/span>) and strength<\/em> (\u05d0<\/span>) \u2013 to create<\/em> is the Son\u2019s strength<\/em>!<\/p>\n

John 1:3 \u201c<\/strong>All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notice too, that God called them BOTH \u201cAdam\u201d as in the \u201chuman species\u201d. In Modern Hebrew, \u201cHuman Being\u201d is literally \u201cson of Adam\u201d \u2013 ben Adam \u2013 \u05d1\u05df \u05d0\u05d3\u05dd<\/span>. Before I get into the meaning of the word \u201cAdam\u201d please read these verses:<\/p>\n

Ephesians 5:23-30 \u201c<\/strong>For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let<\/em> the wives be<\/em> to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Notice that Jesus sanctified and cleansed the church with the washing of water by the word \u2013 a most curious phrase.<\/p>\n

John 15:3 \u201c<\/strong>Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.\u201d<\/p>\n

John 7:38 \u201c<\/strong>He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.\u201d<\/p>\n

John 1:1 \u201c<\/strong>In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.\u201d<\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 6:11 \u201c<\/strong>And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.\u201d<\/p>\n

Titus 3:5 \u201c<\/strong>Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;\u201d<\/p>\n

2 Corinthians 3:18 \u201c<\/strong>But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even<\/em> as by the Spirit of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n

So the \u201cwater\u201d is the Spirit and the Word is Jesus. Another gem is the word for mother<\/em> in Hebrew: \u05d0\u05dd<\/span> with the meaning of \u201cstrong waters\u201d. In Modern Hebrew, it also means nation, womb, people, race<\/em>, etc.<\/p>\n
