There is a manipulative game in the workplace known as “set up to fail”. It is when an employee’s superiors attempt to make an employee quit or give the company grounds for firing, by continuing to put the employee in no win situations. There is manipulation and gaslighting that goes along with these situations and if an employee can document all actions against them causing them to intentionally fail, the employee may have grounds for a lawsuit against the company and its managers. This game is played on anyone who is deemed not valuable, including whistleblowers who are trying to do the right thing by exposing wrongdoing. We saw the news this week where one whistleblower tried to tell the boss that someone was misusing funds, and instead of addressing the misused funds, the boss set the individual up to fail and fired the employee. At least the employee had an audio recording of the encounter with the boss. There is also a written record in the heavens.
This is not a new tactic. Humans have been “set up to fail” since the time of the adam. The god of this world plays this game with humans. The “set up to fail” narrative did not end when Jesus came the first time. It will end when Jesus comes on the Day of the Lord at the end of the tribulation. For now however we are attacked and persecuted by our spiritual enemies. In Yahweh’s multifarious wisdom he hid a treasure in clay figures. These clay figures were made in the image and likeness of the Elohim, but when the enemies of the Elohim attempt to harm us it turns out that we make Jesus our Messiah more clearly visible on the earth.
Enoch had some interesting insights as to the who’s who of Genesis 3. I’ll mention again, it does not matter who canonized what books or what group liked what ancient writing, it only matters what the first century believers knew, had access to, and read. They all knew Enoch’s writings in the first century. There is a reason that much of the texts of the first century believers were erased, it was to set us up to fail.
The Secrets of Enoch 31:1 Adam has life on earth, and I created a garden in Eden in the east, that he should observe the testament and keep the command. 2 I made the heavens open to him, that he should see the angels singing the song of victory, and the gloomless light. 3 And he was continuously in paradise, and the devil understood that I wanted to create another world, because Adam was lord on earth, to rule and control it. 4 The devil is the evil spirit of the lower places, as a fugitive he made Sotona from the heavens as his name was Satanail (Satan), thus he became different from the angels, (but his nature) did not change (his) intelligence as far as (his) understanding of righteous and sinful (things). 5 And he understood his condemnation and the sin which he had sinned before, therefore he conceived thought against Adam, in such form he entered and seduced Eva (Eve), but did not touch Adam.

Here are the first four characters in the story of manfaced on the earth. We have the adam, we have Eve, we have the devil (Dracōn), and we have Satanas. This is not an even match up. Satanas has already been condemned, but we do not know what for. The devil was ruling the underworld. Both Dracōn and Satanas have far more knowledge of Yahweh Elohim, His creations, and His ways, than the newly created beings in the new creation. We have the new creation, the man, the adam. The adam has a need for learning about the spiritual world. He could see into the spiritual realm as the heavens were open to him. The adam and Eve were continually in Paradise. Satanas had a rule or a law concerning the adam. He could not directly attack the adam. He could however seduce the adam through Eve. That is what he did. The adam was with Eve when she ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The adam watched as Eve did not immediately die and then he took the fruit that she handed him.
Genesis 3:8 G2532 And G191 they heard G3588 the G5456 voice G2962 of the lord G3588 G2316 God G4043 walking G1722 in G3588 the G3857 paradise G3588 G1168.1 at dusk. G2532 And G2928 [5hid G3739 G5037 1both G* 2Adam G2532 3and G3588 G1135 4his wife] G1473 G575 from G4383 the face G2962 of the lord G3588 G2316 God G1722 in G3319 the midst G3588 of the G3586 tree G3588 of the G3857 paradise.
“And heard the voice Yahweh the Elohim walking in the Paradise in the evening and concealed both the adam and the his woman away from countenance Yahweh the Elohim in middle the wood the Paradise.”
Adam is the name that we have given the first man, but it is really a title of the first man. Adam means “the man”. Therefore when we read the name Adam, we should read it as the title “the man/the adam”. We see that Yahweh Elohim came to Paradise in the twilight to see the adam. When the adam says that he is naked he is really admitting that he sees good and evil, and that he was scared of Yahweh Elohim. The day before he ate, the adam was not scared of Yahweh Elohim. He became scared because of his sin. It wasn’t the nonexistence of clothing that made the adam frightened, it was the realization that Yahweh Elohim could see his sin. They felt different. Something changed in them. This is why the adam and Eve covered themselves.
All of Yahweh Elohim’s created beings have freedom of will to choose. They can choose what they want. It would not be much of a mutual relationship if our Creator forced his created beings to choose to serve him. All the sons of the Elohim can choose who or what they want to follow, or they can choose not to follow anything or anyone. Therefore Satanas made choices that caused his condemnation. Again we do not know exactly what that was, but Isaiah and Ezekiel give us clues.
Did Yahweh Elohim know that the adam would be tempted. Yes. He knew the adam would be tempted to sin against Yahweh’s one command. The adam had the freedom to choose. Yahweh also knew Satanas was more phronimos intelligent than the adam and Eve. The adam wasn’t created with all the knowledge of the universe. He actually had to learn. Who was the adam learning from? The open heavens and Yahweh Elohim. Satanas was not sent to teach the adam. This is important. Yahweh knew when the adam was created that he would be enticed into sin by Satanas who was already condemned. However the adam did not have to sin or disobey the command of Yahweh Elohim. Knowing that the human race would live in a fallen state when and if the adam sinned, a rescue plan was already in place, Genesis 3:15. Why make a race of beings that would fall prey to evil more intelligent sons of God? Why allow humans to live in a fallen state under evil rulership? This is the manifold wisdom of the Elohim. It was to make known through the Church that their divine judgment had been pronounced. It was for their judgment. The judgment of the cosmos, and the judgment of the god of this world.
We are made in the image and likeness of the Elohim. This means that the other sons of the Elohim are not made in the image and likeness of the Elohim. Yahweh Elohim created manfaced with the potential for something divine within him, something that the other sons of the Elohim do not seem to have.
Genesis 1:27 G2532 And G4160 God made G3588 G2316 G3588 G444 man. G2596 According to G1504 the image G2316 of God G4160 he made G1473 him. G730 Male G2532 and G2338 female G4160 he made G1473 them.

eikōn i-kone' From G1503; a likeness, that is, (literally) statue, profile, or (figuratively) representation, resemblance KJV Usage: image.
Manfaced was intentionally manufactured in the image of the Elohim. Humans look differently than the other sons of God. We look like our Creator. This does not mean that he other sons of God are ugly, it just means they do not look like their Creator. From archeology we see skeletal structures of very tall long headed beings. Manfaced does not look like those beings. Manfaced did not evolve from those beings, there is no evolutionary process in that regard. There is adaptive evolution such as when a human moves from a hot climate to a cold climate, there are physiological changes our bodies make, but there is no evolution from apes to men or Nephilim to men. There is contaminated genos, but it is not evolutionary. The reason the word manfaced is used is to denote human beings apart from the other sons of the Elohim. We are known as “manfaced” and are made in the image of the Elohim.
The point is, if a tall spindly, non-clothed, grey looking being, with three long fingers, claims to be our “god” then we know that it is a lie. If a short, non-clothed, grey looking being, with big eyes, and a small mouth, claims to be our “god” we know that is a lie. The introduction of angelic DNA into manfaced DNA did not make a “god” being either. It made a strangely morphed subset of hybrids, sometimes with six fingers and toes, sometimes with long necks, sometimes with very tall bodies, but all of which are not fully in the image of the Elohim. They are not our “god” either. Is this genetic mixing what Satanas was hoping to accomplish, a race made in the image of the Elohim that was not created by the Elohim? It seems like the beast has an image that people will worship. Is it the Elohim? No.
Jesus redeemed us by paying our ransom which when we believed, rescued us from out of the authority of darkness. Jesus is the image of the invisible Elohim.
Colossians 1:13 G3739 who G4506 rescued G1473 us G1537 from out of G3588 the G1849 authority G3588 of the G4655 darkness, G2532 and G3179 changed us over G1519 to G3588 the G932 kingdom G3588 of the G5207 son G3588 G26 of his love; G1473
14 G1722 in G3739 whom G2192 we have G3588 the G629 release by ransom G1223 through G3588 G129 his blood -- G1473 G3588 the G859 release G3588 G266 of sins;
15 G3739 who G1510.2.3 is G1504 the image G3588 of the G2316 unseen God, G3588 G517 G4416 first-born G3956 of all G2937 creation;
16 G3754 for G1722 in G1473 him G2936 were created G3588 the whole, G3956 G3588 the things G1722 in G3588 the G3772 heavens, G2532 and G3588 the things G1909 upon G3588 the G1093 earth -- G3588 the G3707 visible G2532 and G3588 the G517 unseen; G1535 whether G2362 thrones, G1535 whether G2963 lordships, G1535 whether G746 sovereignties, G1535 whether G1849 authorities; G3588 the whole G3956 G1223 through G1473 him G2532 and G1519 in G1473 him G2936 have been created.
17 G2532 And G1473 he G1510.2.3 is G4253 before G3956 all, G2532 and G3588 the whole G3956 G1722 in G1473 him G4921 combine.
Did Jesus look like other manfaced beings? Yes. Do we look like Jesus? Yes. In Yahweh Elohim, Jesus Messiah, were all things created. It was not a mistake that manfaced was created in the image of the Elohim. Satanas cannot reproduce the image and has no creative ability, but he could try to corrupt the image of the Elohim in manfaced with altered genos. All things seen and unseen were created by Jesus Messiah, and the plan from the beginning, at the sin of the adam, was to rescue manfaced. And while Satanas could corrupt the physical genos, he could not reproduce the treasure inside of manfaced. This is why there is hostility between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman.
Genesis 3:15 G2532 And G2189 [2hatred G5087 1I will put] G303.1 between G1473 you G2532 and G303.1 between G3588 the G1135 woman; G2532 and G303.1 between G3588 G4690 your seed G1473 G2532 and G303.1 between G3588 G4690 her seed. G1473 G1473 He G1473 will give heed to your G5083 G2776 head, G2532 and G1473 you G5083 will give heed to G1473 his G4418 heel.
“And hostility set in between you and in between the woman and in between the your seed and in between the her seed he watch over the head and you watch over his heel.”
There is going to be hatred between the serpent and the woman. There is going to be hatred between the woman’s seed and the serpent’s seed. The word “bruise” does not appear in the text, it is the word tēreō which means to “keep an eye on”, “guard”, or “watch”. We could say Yahweh Elohim is “keeping an eye on the serpent”. Dracōn orchestrated Satanas to steal rulership from the adam which was not a random incident or spur of the moment attack, it was planned, and Yahweh knew the plan. Yahweh already had a counter for the plan. Manfaced ended up in a fallen world, but not without the ability to connect with the one whose image we are made in. When we humans choose to connect with Yahweh Elohim there is something that takes place in manfaced, a divine revealing. If we could see the heavens as the adam saw the heavens then we would probably understand our created position better. The heavens and heavenly beings are cloaked which makes their revealing our life long journey.
If we notice the woman’s seed, our Messiah, is watching or keeping an eye on the serpent’s head. What is Yahweh saying? He is watching the thoughts and plans of the serpent. All the serpent can see is the Messiah’s feet. The serpent can see where the Messiah goes, but can’t stop him. The Messiah sees where the head of the serpent is, who he is conspiring with, and the serpents seed. All the hostility between the two seeds is due to the stealing of the rulership of the earth from the adam. The woman’s seed is left in the dark about the Creator, who he is, and what our own lives are about. When the women’s seed finds out about Yahweh Elohim and starts to understand what has taken place then the woman’s seed rises up against the the evil oppressors. Evil continues to attempt to set us up to fail by hiding truth every step of the way.
The god of this world, Satanas, has chosen not to disseminate the knowledge of the Elohim. His strategy is to hide the existence of the Elohim in lieu of promoting the knowledge of idols and false religions. He and his fallen principalities and powers will do whatever they can to keep us from knowing the Elohim and having a relationship with the Elohim. We are not the center of the story, but a part of a larger story. Our story revolves around developing a personal relationship with Yahweh Elohim. One of Satanas’ limitations is that he cannot stop us from having a personal relationship with the Elohim, but he can try any number of ways to get us to not pursue the Elohim ourselves. We are attacked by evil spiritual beings but something divinely illogical happens when we are.
2 Corinthians 4:3 G1487 But if G1161 G2532 G1510.2.3 [2is G2572 3being covered G3588 G2098 1our good news], G1473 G1722 [3among G3588 4the ones G622 5perishing G1510.2.3 1it is G2572 2covered];
4 G1722 in G3739 which G3588 the G2316 god G3588 G165 of this eon G3778 G5186 blinded G3588 the G3540 thoughts G3588 of the G571 unbelieving, G1519 so as G3588 G3361 to not G826 shine forth G1473 to them G3588 the G5462 illumination G3588 of the G2098 good news G3588 of the G1391 glory G3588 of the G5547 Christ, G3739 who G1510.2.3 is G1504 image G3588 of the G517 unseen G2316 of God.
Why blind or obscure the thoughts of the unbelievers? To keep them in unbelief. Satanas is setting manfaced up to fail. What must we humans look like to the other sons of God? Physically we are made in the image of the Elohim, so that when they look at us they see Him. While we look like the Elohim we are not knowledgeable in spiritual matters, so in that circumstance we look dumb. Unless we receive Jesus as our Lord and believe he rose up on the third day, then something opens within us, or we could say something is let out of our heart.
After the flood there were people who held onto the knowledge of Yahweh Elohim. Not just the few we read about in our Bibles but many other people who came to know Yahweh. They seemed to have a divine connection to Yahweh. There was a change within them. Regardless of the age they lived in, there were always people who connected to Yahweh Elohim. It seems to be a spark that continued to ignite. It seemed as if crucifying the Messiah would finally put out the sparks, so the knowledge of the Elohim could be hidden for the next two thousand years. Instead more sparks ignited and the knowledge of the Messiah spread around the world.
2 Corinthians 4:5 G3756 For not G1063 G1438 ourselves G2784 do we proclaim, G235 but G5547 Christ G* Jesus G2962 Lord; G1438 and ourselves G1161 G1401 your bondmen G1473 G1223 for the sake of G* Jesus.
6 G3754 For G3588 G2316 God G3588 is the one G2036 having told G1537 [3from G4655 4darkness G5457 1light G2989 2to radiate], G3739 who G2989 radiated G1722 in G3588 G2588 our hearts G1473 G4314 for G5462 the illumination G3588 of the G1108 knowledge G3588 of the G1391 glory G3588 G2316 of God G1722 in G4383 the person G* of Jesus G5547 Christ.
“Since the Elohim the said ‘from out of darkness light shine’ which shine in the our hearts to illuminate the knowledge the glory the Elohim in face Jesus Messiah.”
The Elohim who said “from out of darkness light shine” is the same light that shines in our heart. Our heart has illumination in knowledge of the glory of Elohim, in the face of Jesus Messiah. The Creator, who called light to shine out of darkness, did the same in us. Remember, the earth became formless, void, and dark, but Yahweh Elohim called light to shine out of the darkness. This is the same shining, or beaming, or brilliancy, that resides in our heart. If we want to know the difference between unbelievers and believers it is the light that beams in our heart. That phōs, light, shines to enlighten knowledge. What knowledge? The knowledge of the glory of the Elohim. Isn’t that what has been stolen and hidden from manfaced? The knowledge of the Elohim?
Satanas has a problem. Manfaced was created with a heart and yet our heart resides in an earthen vessel. When manfaced who is made in the image of the Elohim chooses to connect with the Elohim, light is ignited in that manfaces heart. While other sons of the Elohim may have a lot of light surrounding them or can be incorporeals, we do not know what type of light they have. The kind of light manfaced has is the kind that illuminated the darkness in Genesis 1:3.
2 Corinthians 4:7 G2192 But we have G1161 G3588 G2344 this treasure G3778 G1722 in G3749 earthenware G4632 vessels, G2443 that G3588 the G5236 excess G3588 of the G1411 power G1510.3 might be G3588 G2316 of God, G2532 and G3361 not G1537 of G1473 us;
“To have but the deposit this in clay vessel in order that the surpassing excellence the miracle power may be the Elohim and not from out of us”
Manfaced was made from clay and yet this clay holds a treasure. It’s a deposit that exceeds dunamis from the Elohim and not from out of us. The image we are made in just took on a new dimension. We are made with the Elohim’s power that he put into us, in our heart which is housed in our dirt image. What a funny place to put a treasure. Shouldn’t we look more like a Terminator instead of a Hummel Figurine? Why put a treasure in a clay image? It’s delicate. It’s fragile. It can break when dropped. Yet here we are. Clay images with a treasure in our heart. Light shines out of us which is the glory of the Elohim in the face of Jesus Messiah.
“Since the Elohim the said ‘from out of darkness light shine’ which shine in the our hearts to illuminate the knowledge the glory the Elohim in face Jesus Messiah but to have the deposit this in clay vessel in order that the surpassing excellence the miracle power may be the Elohim and not from out of us”
It is as if Satanas wants to use us Hummel Figurines as a football, but Yahweh has his eye on Dracōn and Satanas and Satanas cannot go beyond his limitations. So instead of breaking us himself, Satanas tricks us into breaking ourselves. But maybe a broken Hummel is the only way to see the light coming out of the heart which has a deposited treasure in it. The deposit in us exceeds miracle working power that comes from the Elohim. This seems to be multifaceted wisdom indeed. It is also illogical. The phōs, light, that dispelled the darkness after the earth became formless, void, and dark, is in a dirt image. It is not what one would expect. Now pair that knowledge with the judgment of the cosmos and the judgment of Satanas. The Father passed the judgment and we manfaced believers do the sentencing. Paul continues.
2 Corinthians 4:8 G1722 in G3956 every way G2346 afflicted, G235 but G3756 not G4729 having been restricted; G639 perplexed, G235 but G3756 not G1820 left destitute;
9 G1377 persecuted, G235 but G3756 not G1459 abandoned; G2598 thrown down, G235 but G3756 not G622 destroyed;
10 G3842 at all times G3588 the G3500 slaying G3588 of the G2962 Lord G* Jesus G1722 in G3588 the G4983 body G4064 carrying round about, G2443 that G2532 also G3588 the G2222 life G3588 G* of Jesus G1722 in G3588 G4983 our body G1473 G5319 should be manifested.
This sounds like a horrible movie. We have this excellent treasure inside of us but yet we are afflicted, pinched, or squeezed, but not restrained. We are perplexed or in difficulties, and at our wits end, but yet we are not destitute or utterly at a loss. We are persecuted, or pursued, but we are not abandoned, left behind, or deserted. We are thrown down, or overthrown, but we are not destroyed, utterly killed, or slain. Wherever we go we are put to death, but that shows that the life of Jesus in our body is declared. Woah. So the more we are persecuted the more we make Yahweh Jesus apparent or visibly clear. Is this really our lives if we are believers in Christ? Yes. I thought the TV preachers said it should be smooth sailing once we believe on Jesus as Lord and Savior?
We will always have enemy attacks from the god of this world but we are not restrained, not utterly at a loss, not left behind, not slain. Yahweh Elohim has his eye on our enemies and our enemies must stay within their boundaries. Yet when we are attacked we are making the life of Jesus Messiah more visible. Is it the cracks in the clay that reveal the Christ in us the hope of glory?
What are the actions the evil sons of the Elohim are sentenced for? Pinching, squeezing, difficulties, persecuting, pursuing, throwing down, overthrowing. The more they do this to the believer in Christ, the more the divine light of the Elohim shines out of our heart which is put into a clay image of the Elohim. It is the opposite effect as they would expect. They can’t stamp out the light, instead it shines more.
The hatred and hostility between the woman’s seed and the serpents seed causes them to hide the knowledge of Yahweh Elohim in an attempt to cause us to die in unbelief. But if per chance we find our way to Yahweh Elohim and choose to follow Him, the phōs that dispelled the original darkness in the beginning of the age of manfaced, resides in us. Then, every time we are attacked, it shines forth. More sparks ignite.
The fallen sons of the Elohim can’t stop the clay images. They can’t reproduce the clay images with the divine phōs in their heart. They tried to alter the genos but the phōs was protected in the heart. The only way to get the true light of the Elohim is to choose to love and serve Yahweh Elohim, and believe he came as Messiah who rose up on the third day. They can’t steal it. They can’t mimic it. They can’t extinguish it. They can’t obtain it. And they can’t fake it. So Yahweh does the most illogical thing imaginable. He hides his divine phōs in a Hummel Figurine, a fragile piece of clay. The divine phōs is a surpassing miracle power that comes directly from the Elohim, not from us, by us, or on account of us. We only receive it in our heart when we believe on Him and make Him our Lord. The key to unlocking the light is believing on Him and receiving Him.
Naturally the fallen sons of the Elohim want to beat the light of the Elohim out of us. They hate us. They are doomed to be sentenced by us. They can’t stand us. The hostility eats at them every time they see our image, the one made to look like the Elohim. When they look at our Lord all they see is the feet of the Messiah and they can’t stop Him.
We have been created a most vulnerable species. We are not cast iron, but clay. Yahweh Elohim didn’t even go though the trouble of getting materials from precious stones or precious metals. He just picked up some dirt and made manfaced in his own image. He put his dunamis in the heart of manfaced and we can choose to unlock the light. He hid a treasure in us. We were set up to fail by the fallen sons of the Elohim, the ruler of the cosmos. They hid the knowledge of Yahweh Elohim. They hid the knowledge of our creation. They hid the knowledge of our treasure. As we dig through the rubble of what they have destroyed we find the strangest secrets about our race. None of the other sons of the Elohim have Christ in them the hope of glory. None of the other sons of the Elohim have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them making them temples of the Holy Spirit. None of the other sons of the Elohim have what we have, treasure in our heart. This is why there will always be hostility between the seeds. Our image is crafted from the dirt of planet earth that became formless, void, and dark, but then light shines out of us from the Elohim which is His power.
“And spoke the Elohim ‘become light’ and became light.”
