''And in ver. 7, “Jhoah, l’Etre des etres ayant formd la substance d’Adam de la sublimation des parties les plus subtiles de l’element Adamique, inspire dans son entendement une essence exhalee des Vies, et des lors Adam, l’homme universel, devint une similitude de l’Ame vivante universelle.” On verse 5 D’Olivet remarks “l’Etre des etres avait dit seulement ''nous ferons Adam, ''et Adam, l’homme universel, avait ete fait en puissance, Bientot il on paraitre en acte.”* | ||
In my groping fashion, where I am quite out of my depth, I have thought that possibly the Universal Adam that God said he would make was not only ''potentially ''Adam from the first germ cell of sentient life, but still ''is ''only potentially the Adam designed by Deity for sovereign rule on earth, his evolution being by no means complete; and “''the ''man Christ Jesus” hitherto the only being fully corresponding to the word. That expression, “''puissance collective''”'' ''is very suggestive of the powers won from successive developments of creaturely life. Students of Boehme will remember the many beasts in human nature, which he again and again speaks of as being comprised in the ''first born ''nature over which regenerate man has to rule.† | In my groping fashion, where I am quite out of my depth, I have thought that possibly the Universal Adam that God said he would make was not only ''potentially ''Adam from the first germ cell of sentient life, but still ''is ''only potentially the Adam designed by Deity for sovereign rule on earth, his evolution being by no means complete; and “''the ''man Christ Jesus” hitherto the only being fully corresponding to the word.
