God took a man (Adam) and without a woman, He brought forth a woman out of whom would come the image of the first Adam. Then God took a woman (the Virgin Mary) and without a man, He brought forth a man out of whom would come the image of the Last Adam.
  In the 11th chapter of Matthew, Jesus was speaking about John the Baptist. Referring to John He said, "Of men born of women there is none greater than John the Baptist, but the least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he." Men have not understood what Jesus was talking about here. For until Jesus came, there was only one man in the earth, the many-membered corporate man, Adam. And all the people of the earth, including John the Baptist, were born of woman. They were, in fact, born of Eve, the Mother of all living. But when Jesus arrived on the earth, He was not of the race of Adam. He was a new creation, the creation of God. In fact, Revelation chapter 3 tells us He was the beginning of the creation of God. He was the new creation man, the Last Adam, the second Man (1 Cor. 15:45).
  God put Adam on the earth and told him to multiply and replenish the earth. So Adam in his fallen state began to multiply himself upon the earth. Cain, Abel, and all that followed, including John the Baptist, were not the second or third man, but simply an extension of the first man. In other words, Adam was quickly becoming a many-membered corporate man. Until Jesus came, there was only one man on the earth multiplied into millions of different expressions.
  Then Jesus came. And God gave Him the same commission that He had given Adam earlier, "multiply yourself and fill the earth with your own kind." So Jesus came, saying, "The corn of wheat must fall into the ground and die and bring forth a great harvest." Out of the life of Jesus Christ, men began to be born again. Born this time not of woman, but of man. The least of those born of this Man was greater than the greatest of those born of woman. Kings and priests, they are destined to rule with Jesus Christ forever. Of the increase of His government there is no end, and the revelation of the glories of His Kingdom keep growing in our hearts.
  To some, the knowledge of Jesus only means a mansion in the sky or a cabin in the corner, or perhaps a crown, robe, and harp. But to some who are pressing on in God, the knowledge of the person of Christ in itself is greater riches than all the treasures of earth and heaven, and all which can be imagined in the mind. That many-membered son who is being birthed out of the life of Jesus Christ into the image of the Son of God Himself is going to be the crowning triumph of God's creation. He will put them on exhibit in the ages to come, proving thereby the wisdom of God in all that He has brought about since the fall of Adam.
  Yes, men born of women have done some marvelous things, brought forth amazing inventions. But at the same time, they have brought this world into utter chaos and devastation. But the world has never been able to dream of things which are going to be brought forth by those who are being born out of the new creation man. Their first major accomplishment will be the restoration of all creation. Thus will be the destiny of those born of the man Christ Jesus, the new creation, the Last Adam.
  So raise your sights, saints of God. Stop bickering about non-essentials. Stop splitting hairs and dividing the Body of Christ over nit-picking questions of no consequence. The stakes are much higher than your doctrinal differences. Man born of woman is full of trouble, but man born of Man shall reign forever with Jesus Christ their Lord.
