Mystery of Human Body - The Breath of Life and the Seed of Life



God the Creator planned to cultivate and gain His true children He would be able to share everlasting, unchanging and true love with, and performed amazing works of creation for His plan. Through the first man Adam who was created as a living being, we can feel the will and deep love of God embedded in His creation of men.



"The providence of God's creation of heavens and earth and humans is love!"

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Then God said, 'Let there be light'; and there was light." (Genesis 1:1, 3)
Since before the ages, God existed in the original universe as the Voice wearing the Light (John 1:1; 1 John 1:5). After a long period of time passed, God who was alone in the universe planned to cultivate His true children who can share eternal love with Him. The first thing God did to carry out the plan of human cultivation was to divide the original universe into four spaces. After that, the God who was the Light in the whole universe condensed Himself into a shape, and formed Himself into the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit.
The four spaces are respectively the first space for the dwelling of God the Trinity, the second space for the dwelling of saved children of God, the third space necessary for human cultivation, and the fourth space for God's creation and cultivation of men. God created the heavens and the earth, and formed the first man of the dust from the ground.

"Then God said, 'Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.' God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." (Genesis 1:26-27)
Could you imagine how beautiful and lovely the first man who was created in the likeness and image of God looked to Him? God blessed the first man to live as the lord of all creatures.

"Adam, a living being, was in the most optimal state in which the breath of life of God controls the body"

"Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. The LORD God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed." (Genesis 2:7-8)
As God the Creator formed the first man of the dust from the ground with His original light in His hands, his shape as a man was becoming complete. As God formed the head of the man and the arms of the man, they turned into complete head and complete arms of a human body. How amazing and mysterious it is! When God breathed His breath of life into the man's nostrils, the man's heart began pounding, blood moving around and all the cells and tissues functioning. His brain also began working, his eyes and ears seeing and hearing, and his hands and feet moving.
The 37th chapter of the Book of Ezekiel introduces a vision of the work of the breath of life. It speaks of the same principle of the spiritual realm though it is a vision. When God's word was proclaimed, the bones came together, bone to its bone, sinews were on them, and flesh grew and skin covered them. And when the breath came into them, they came to life and stood on their feet. And the 11th chapter of the Book of Revelation speaks of the martyrdom and resurrection of the Two Witnesses. When they are martyred during the 7-year Great Tribulation, they are raised again through the work of the breath of life that enter them.
The breath of life is the fountain of the works of life. When God breathed His breath of life into the first man's nostrils, the breath of life entered the nucleus of the cell that is the focus of life in the body of Adam, and Adam began to move and became a living being. Adam, as a living spirit, and was taken into and lived in the Garden of Eden that belongs to the spiritual realm, and the breath of life has been handed down onto his children and their children.
In the Garden of Eden, when Adam's children are conceived and grow, they are affected through the breath of life. All the nucleuses of the cells for all the parts of the body are controlled by the breath of life, so all men in the Garden of Eden have milky white skin, the hair with golden lights, and perfect and flawless body from head to toe.
Men in the Garden of Eden grow until they pass the age of a young man, and after this point they stop growing. Since then, their body does not get old and maintains the same condition. It is because the breath of life rules over the nucleus of the cell that originally controls the body.

"The breath of life was taken away and only the trace of the seed of life was left behind"

"Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. The LORD God commanded the man, saying, 'From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die'" (Genesis 2:15-17).
In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve had been fruitful and multiplied for a long period of time. But they didn't keep the command of God in their hearts, and ended up eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in their free will. God took away most of the breath of life from them and left its trace behind like a small seed. This is the seed of life.
When God took away the breath of life from Adam, he was put to death as prophesied, "You will surely die." He was driven out of the Garden of Eden and had to live on this earth—a part of the physical world. As time passed, his body got old and he finally died and was buried into a tomb. As he had the seed of life within him, he missed the Garden of Eden and thoroughly repented of his disobedience and then could enter the kingdom of Heaven.
How could then the descendants of sinned Adam enter the kingdom of Heaven? In the 6th month of conception, the God of love send the spirit having the seed of life in it to a fetus and plants the seed of life into the nucleus of the cell that is the focus of life in the heart of its body. It means God plants a part of the original light covering the power of God into the nucleus of the cell that is the focus in the heart of every fetus. This is why men can even vaguely feel the existence of the age to come unlike animals.
It is just the same as recorded in Ecclesiastes 3:11, "He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart" and this is the work of the breath of life.

The mysterious order of a human body set up by God

God puts something like 'a map' which contains all the genetic information of a man into the nucleus of his cells. And this is so called, DNA. DNA is like a twisted double ribbon or strand, and the coiled central filament which constitutes the core of the chromosome strand – chromatid - is called the 'chromonema.' A single piece of coiled DNA containing many genes is called a chromosome.
Inside a cell of a man, there are 23 pairs of these chromosomes. In these 46 chromosomes, all the genetic information about a man is contained. Facial look, height, physical constitution, skin color, etc; all kinds of information about organisms and their function are contained there. God knows where in which number of chromosome certain information is stored.
To help you understand better, let me site an example. Say, there is a car factory which is fully automated. The 1st production line makes car engines, the 2nd line, car bodies, and 3rd line, steering wheels. In addition to these, there are other production lines that produce other parts. All these production lines unite together, and at the end of the final line, a new car is produced. When people turn the switch of the production line on, all the parts of a car are produced at once, and they make a fully assembled car in the end.
DNA inside a cell nucleus is just like the fully automated production lines. When skin gets injured, the cells around the injury start to work so that bleeding can stop, and that new skin can come up.
There is a certain amount of self healing power in a man's body. But this power has a limit. That's why, even though a small injury will become normal as some time period passes by, a big injury can leave a scar. It means it didn't recover to an original normal status.
On the other hand, by the power of God, a recovery that transcends the limit of flesh can take place. For example, in a case of a 3rd degree burn, it can never be restored to the original state with fleshly methods. However, it can be completely recovered to normal with spiritual methods. That is, God can recreate the injured part due to the burn.
