Genesis 2 is clear that God creates the first person as part of the natural world, the animal world, but "breathes" into his face, the "breath" (neshemah) of soul life. . . Properly understood, God creates a human animal from the materials of the earth. He then "breathes" into this particular animal the breath of life. The human animal becomes a spiritual animal at the point of breath.

Animals and human beings are conceived as part of the natural biotic world at conception. But the human being becomes a member of the spiritual realm when he takes in his first breath. . . "Why aren't animals initiated into the spiritual realm (acquire a soul) at their first breath?" ------ The Bible nowhere relates "breath" with the soul life of the animal. The Bible relates the "blood," a biological material, with the animal's soul.

The fetus doesn't share the mother's blood. It creates its own blood (children can have different blood types than the mother). No blood transfer occurs between mother and child in the womb. So for the animal its blood represents its soul. It develops its own soul in the womb of the animal body of the mother. . . But according to the Bible, a human being inhales God's soul, immaterial life, when he exits the realm of the mother's womb, where animal life alone exists. The inhale of the immaterial breath is the point of ensoulment for the human being, while the animal is never said to be related to God's "breath" neshemah of life.

Jesus, the purported Messiah, claimed that in order to take part in his Messianic Kingdom and the Redemption associated with that Kingdom a person must drink his blood.

"Blood" is the animal "soul," while "breath" (neshemah), is the soul (life) of God.

So if Jesus, the would-be Messiah, is . . . purportedly . . . God, then his "blood" (soul), is not the animal part of his human body, the fluid that represents the soul of the animal, but, rather, his (Jesus’) "breath."

... at the very beginning of creation of the world, the king Messiah had already come into being..."

Pesikta Rabbati, Piska 33:6:

1. And in that place I saw the fountain of righteousness Which was inexhaustible: And around it were many fountains of wisdom: And all the thirsty drank of them, And were filled with wisdom, And their dwellings were with the righteous and holy and elect.

2. And at that hour that Son of Man was named In the presence of the Lord of Spirits, And his name before the Head of Days. 

3. Yea, before the sun and the signs were created, Before the stars of the heaven were made, His name was named before the Lord of Spirits.

Enoch 48:1-3: 

Seven things were created before the world, viz., The Torah, repentance, the Garden of Eden, Gehenna, the Throne of Glory, the Temple, and the name of the Messiah. . . The name of the Messiah, as it is written, His name [sc. of Messiah] shall endure for ever, and [has existed] before the sun!

B. Nedarim 39a:

Jewish scriptures relate the pre-existence of Messiah. Howard Schwartz, in Tree of Souls, uses these texts to say that Messiah, ". . . was the firstborn of God" (p. 484). In Hebrew scripture, the "name" is synonymous with the actual "person." So the fact that the "name" of Messiah pre-exists creation suggests that the "person" of Messiah pre-exists creation. He’s indeed the "firstborn" of God. ----Nevertheless, being the firstborn of God doesn't mean he's the first human being. As Paul tells us in 1 Corinthians 15:47, the earthly human being is created before the heavenly human being is "born." -----Messiah is slated to be the first human being to be "born." ----Being the “first born” human being, the firstborn of creation, is the sign of Messiah.

Samael is appointed to guard the "name" of Messiah. ---- His own name, Samael's, means the "guardian of the name of God" Shem-el (samar-el), a combination of the "name of God" shem-el, and the "guard of God" samar-el, meaning the "guard" of God's (El) "name" (shem). In the ancient world, kings used serpents to guard the family jewels. Samael is the serpent of God anointed to guard God's family Jew-El: Messiah; the birth of the Name.

But the organ God designed to "guard" Messiah's birthplace went rogue and decided to guard himself from the birth of Messiah. He's never flaccid or at ease when the Seed of the Woman is in his purview. The princely serpent of God, the prince of darkness, the angel of death, the ancient god represented by the ithyphallic organ (Samael), takes the position of attack (rigid, stiff, etc.) whenever he approaches the residence of the Seed of the Woman. His rigid stance is not a bluff. . . According to the bible his jowls are filled with sin, death, and wicked inclinations, which he spews with all the subtlety of a striking cobra, asp, or serpent.

The serpent (Samael) and his followers, the el-ohim (the plural gods), determined to take over the Name (El) and the vineyard of the first singular Jew: El. The serpent that God employed to guard his precious Jew-El, instead guarded the bedchamber of his birth and attacked the Seed of the Woman each and every time that Seed would have come into the world. . . Save one. -------One Jew, El, opened the veil of the bedchamber from the inside out catching Samael off guard (so to say).

Soon every knee will bow and every angel will genuflect in the light of God's glory reflected from the face of his great JewEl: the JewEl of denial. The JewEl who was denied his place as the chief cornerstone in God's diadem by the very Jew-el-ers who were ordained to prepare the mounting for the JewEl but mounted the serpent instead.

It's a scientific fact that dead things are "stiff," that when flesh and blood feels threatened, and takes a defensive stance, or even an offensive stance, it gets "stiff," as if to suggest that if anyone or thing comes too close it will spread "stiffness" (rigor mortis), death, to whatever gets too close. On the other hand flaccid things represent relaxation, life, calm.

Paul’s Epistles teach that death passes through the phallus just prior to conception. And the phallus doesn't hide it's intentions to pass death on to the Seed of the Woman. It enters the residence of the Seed of the Woman even as an erect serpent sinks his teeth into prey just prior to the death of the prey.  And it’s not necessary to be accustomed to praying in order to see that every ovum is the prey of the serpent that enters the home of the ovum with death-dealing intentions and body language. Death entered the world through phallic-sex. And it's not the ovum where the death resides. It's the biological serpent.

It's not a fluke or a meaningless accident that the phallus gets stiff just before it deals its death. Theology is biology. Those who reject theology and biology take a very thoughtless attitude toward things that are actually quite obvious to an objective mind. . . As though biology isn't proof enough, God has Abraham bleed the biological serpent to sign the covenant that’s the death of death itself, the death of the organ of death.

The "Jew" is conceived as though he’s born (conceived) free from the reign of death, free from the rain of the serpent's seed. He's born of a phallus ornamented with a fatal wound. The great Jewish sages fancy this fatal wound on the death-dealing serpent as the emblem of the crowning moment in fallen man’s history: the moment when the death-dealing serpent is itself dealt death. The fatal wound on the biological serpent circumscribes the serpent like a thorny-crown crowning the moment of death's death: the moment everlasting life is born, of the death of death, the blood of the organ of death.

Since the death of the biological serpent affects the death of death itself, it's obvious that the first human born from a form of conception that deals death to the organ of death--- virgin birth---- is the first actual "Jew." The first actual Jew is Messiah; and that Messiah was slated to be the firstborn human (the first human actually born). He was conceived in the adam by the breath of God and not the biological serpent. And since Messiah is conceived by the breath of God, he’s the Son of God. He’s God's Jew-El.

Because of his unique conception: it's the only one like it in human history ("our God is one," unique, echad), he's called the "Son of Man." He's called the "Son of (the) human."

The title "Son of (the) human" is recognized as the Messianic title par excellent. The Messiah is not a typical son. He's the firstborn "Son" of the first created human. Messiah is conceived prior to the "human’s" dissection into gender. As such he's the offspring of the genderless human and the male God. The first human is female in relationship to God, but genderless in relationship to creation.

When Jesus referred to himself as the firstborn Son of the human, not only was he recognizing his Messianic title, he was giving commentary on the nature of his birth; a birth that was aborted, or rather, postponed, through abortion, until a time ordained before the creation of the world. The Son that Mary bore was conceived in the first human. He existed in the flesh and blood of the human race (our genes) since the breath of God was breathed into the first human.

The Genesis 6 fiasco was an attempt to finish off what was started in the Garden, by contaminating human flesh with angelic seed. If not for Noah, and the flood, all human flesh would have been contaminated with angelic seed such that the birth of Messiah, aborted in the Garden, but passed on genetically in human DNA, would have been ended once and for all.

It's important to know that the first Jew is Messiah, and that circumcision ritualizes the birth of the first Jew, which is the birth of Messiah. We can know that the first Jews is Messiah simply by acknowledging that ritual circumcision, which ritualizes the birth of the first Jew, occurs with the sandek (who both holds and witnesses the circumcision) seated on the Chair of Elijah. Elijah is taught to be the herald of the arrival of Messiah, such that the sandek represents the witness and herald of Messiah, which, Messiah, arrives, when the child is circumcised, has the serpent mortally wounded on his body.

Part and parcel of this symbolism is the fact that Elijah's symbolic presence at the ritual circumcision shows conclusively that ritual circumcision marks a singular event, the arrival/birth of Messiah. Every ritual circumcision represents a singular event; the singular event: the birth of Messiah. Messiah's birth is the arrival of a birth postponed since the Fall in the Garden. Messiah is the firstborn of creation born not first in time, but still-born the first Son of God, the first Son conceived in a genderless human (before the rise of the phallus and phallic-sex).

The foregoing suggest (so to say) that the "Jew" is conceived (reckoned) to be born  (conceived), free of the reign of death. Part and parcel of being Jewish is the symbolic idea that Jews aren't subject to the Fall in the Garden like the rest of humanity. Jews are . . . at least symbolically speaking . . . God's tool, organ, through which the Fall in the Garden will be reversed, or undone. Since original sin, the "death" associated with the Fall, is passed down through the male seed (which passes through the phallus), the scar worn on the Jewish male's phallus represents a fatal wound to the "death" passed down through that organ. The death of death itself is the birth of everlasting life.

In this sense the "Jew" --- unlike the non-Jew, is born (ritually speaking) free of the death sentence (the sentence found at Gen. 3:17) passed on through the organ the Jewish father is not supposed to use without it wearing the symbol of a mortal wound: the circumcision scar. The circumcision scar is reckoned a glorious ornament. It's a crown of glory worn to anoint the Messianic revocation of "death" itself. The circumcision scar circumscribes the flesh like a thorny-crown. The crown of thorns worn on the flesh is the true "anointing" of that flesh that relates that flesh to the Messiah (such that the herald of Messiah, Elijah, is present at every ritual circumcision).

The very word for "Messiah" mean's "anointing." And the “anointing” is the oil placed on the wooden or stone emblem of the deity’s phallus which the ancients used to represent jus primae noctis ---such that every "firstborn" was . . . at least symbolically, ritually, conceived of the phallus belonging to the god or gods. In Judaism, the "oil" that makes the god's organ work, is replaced with the scar that means the pagan-god-organ on the father is not supposed to work. In Judaism, the firstborn is Messiah. He’s conceived by the "breath of God" and not the flesh of the pagan god.

Both biologically, and biblically, the human body begins as a female and not a male. It begins as a female in the womb. Hormones associated with the serpent’s seed (specifically the Y chromosome) cause the default body --- female --- to transform into a male (develop a phallus). ----In the Garden of Eden the serpent transformed the adam's body into a male and literally --- according to scripture --- sewed up the labia to form the first phallus. The penile-raphe is a natural suture, a scar, formed when the labia are turned into a penis. This is both scientific and biblical. Fetal development recapitulates the development of human history. When the labia turns into the penis, the cells that would otherwise form the hymen become the male-hymen, the membrane of male-virginity, which is torn in per'iah.

Messiah was created prior to the creation of the world. He was slated to be the "first" "born" human in creation. He wasn't going to be the first human. He was going to be the "first" "born" human. The adam was the first human. And Messiah was going to be the first "male" to be "born" rather than created. Messiah is the "firstborn" male of creation.

Judaism screams out the crime that occurred in the Garden to anyone with circumcised ears and heart.

Judaism revolves around the "birth" of the "firstborn" male. And when is the birth of this "firstborn" male slated to occur? When, as Rabbi Kaplan points out, circumcision returns the circumcised Jew to the status of the adam prior to the Fall. What was the adam's status prior to the Fall? The adam had no phallus, and was pregnant from the "breath of God" and not a phallus. The adam was genderless in the sense that there was no phallus to make the distinction between male and female (such that the Hebrew words for “male” and “female” are used in the second creation account --- which is actually the first creation account --- only after the creation of the phallus, Genesis 2:21). The Talmud points out that circumcision occurs on the organ that distinguishes gender without keying the reader in to the fact that it, circumcision, eliminates gender (Gal. 3:28). Rabbi Kaplan points out that circumcision returns the Jew to the status of the adam before the Fall (no gender). 

If circumcision is ritual emasculation, then the organ that distinguishes gender is singled out in circumcision precisely because it distinguishes gender, which wasn't distinguished prior to the adam's body being desecrated in the Garden. The desecration is directly associated with the creation and erection of the first phallus (which is the creation of gender, which is a prerequisite for the original sin).

Moses says, cryptically, to sanctify unto God the "firstborn" who "opens the womb." Rabbi Hirsch explains the profound significance of the relationship between the Jewish "firstborn," "male,"  and the "opening of the womb." ----They're directly related in the most fundamental way. They're the key to the very heart, soul, and blood, that gives life to Judaism and its symbolism. If Messiah is to be the "firstborn" male in all of creation (conceived through the breath of God, and not the nonexistent phallus) then the adam's body will be intact when Messiah is born. Messiah will have to open the adam's body himself rather than having it opened for him by a fiery serpent named Samael.

  

The pagan religions fancy their messiah the "firstborn" of the god or gods. Even in pagan religion the "firstborn" is born of god and not of a human father. Even in paganism the truth that the "firstborn" is not born of the human father is taught throughout their symbolism. The very word "messiah" means “anointed,” such that the pagan bride was required to enter the temple, where the priests had anointed the sacred phallus with oil, so that it could enter the temple of the virgin's body tearing the veil during the entry thereby making the god's "firstborn" son the son of a formerly virgin mother.

The pagan messiah, the anointed one, is born of a virgin mother, since the mother has not had sex with any man, ever, but merely with a god, the stone or wooden phallus, "anointed" with oil, as a necessary precaution because of the non-living nature of the pagan god.

But this is a sham since the god's phallus is wood or stone and not real. And the god's "firstborn" son is actually the son of the human father, since a stone phallus can't really get a virgin pregnant.

Judaism performs a different "anointing." The phallus of the human father, and not the phallus of God, is "anointed." And it's anointed not with oil, as in the case of the pagan god and his anointing, but with blood. Judaism inverts the pagan panacea. The pagan's are fakers. They anoint a false phallus while the human father --- symbolically cut out of the pregnancy of the pagan "firstborn" of the gods, is actually the father of the purported son of god (messiah). But Judaism anoints the human father's phallus with blood, signifying that the Jewish Messiah is not going to be the offspring of a human father, ergo the blood anointing the father's phallus, nor is he going to be the phallic offspring of a god or God, since, according to Jewish symbolism, the "firstborn," the anointed one, must, "open the womb" himself. The Jewish God who fathers the Jewish "firstborn" who (the firstborn) "opens the womb," fathers his Son not after the desecration of human flesh that resulted in the Fall, i.e., the creation of the phallus in the first place (the Garden), but by a process that existed prior to the desecration of the adam's flesh by the serpent in the Garden. The Son of God is conceived through the mouth of the first human and not a place, the opening up of which, literally required a suture and a scar marking the violence and desecration.

Rabbi Hirsch says:

פטר רחם ["opening the womb"] would seem to refer to the child, in which case it would mean: the one expelled from the womb. But then it would refer to every child. Hence, פטר should be taken as referring to the mother's womb, and as denoting the opening of a hitherto closed place. . . As we have seen, however, this is none other than the realization of the idea behind פטר רחם ["opening the womb"] according to which the consecration of the firstborn is taken as the consecration of the mother's womb and, thereby, the consecration of all the children that follow.

Rabbi Hirsch is talking about the opposite of "original sin." ------He's speaking of "original sanctification." -----If the guardian of the covenant didn't desecrate the first human's body, in Genesis 2:21, then Messiah would have been born by opening the body of the first human, the adam. . . Then, per the statements of Rabbi Hirsch, all humanity would have began through that "opening of the womb," which would have been the opening of a hitherto closed place: all humanity would have been sanctified at birth rather than condemned through the sin of the first human, the adam, at birth.

Samael and the first adam aborted Messiah's status as the "firstborn" human of all creation, and postponed his arrival by thousands of years, allowing millions and millions of human beings to born in sin and death. They allowed Cain, the sire of Samael, to be born prior to Messiah, which bastardizes the true nature of the true "firstborn." ----Eve (Lilith) clearly confused Samael with Yahweh, since at the birth of the murderer Cain she claimed to have gotten him through intercourse with Yahweh. She knew who fathered Cain. She was just confused about the distinction between Samael and Yahweh therein placing her in good company with the good people of the religions of the Book. She's far from the first, or the last, to be confused by the fact that the name of the Lord, Yahweh, was in Samael for a time and a season predetermined by God.

Indeed, the symbolic dimension of Hebrew, as it appears in the sacred texts, disappears for the benefit of a purely utilitarian use of language. . .  modern Hebrew has emptied out the ancient words of their symbolic and religious signification in order to reduce them to mere indices of material reality.
