The encoding of our being

Describing the creation of man, David writes to God in Psalm 139:16, “Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.”

Jordan explains, “Your mom’s 23 chromosomes joined with your dad’s 23 chromosomes to make the 46 chromosomes that made you, and when you were conceived, all of the identity, the genetics of who you are, what you’re going to look like was determined right there. Everything else is just letting it grow, letting it come out, doing just what that verse in Psalms says.

“Listen, DNA is not a random sequencing of stuff; it’s a genetic package that’s in your chromosomes that is a book of your life, pre-written the moment of your conception. David knew that 3,000 years ago. Modern science figured it out 50 years ago. Stick with your Bible; you’ll be way ahead of life.

“When you read that expression ‘thy book,’ and you see here it’s talking about David’s genetic coding, God wrote another book, didn’t He?

“Isaiah 34:16 says, ‘Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read.’ Where’s the book of the Lord? That’s the Bible. So not only did God have this book of DNA He wrote, He wrote a book called the Bible.

“Now, there’s an interesting comparison all through the Scripture between the book He wrote and your DNA and the book He wrote called the Bible.

“As we learn from Psalm 139:16, that DNA is a book of your life. You know what the Bible’s called? Philippians 2:16 says, ‘Holding forth the word of life.’ What’s that? That’s that Book. Philippians 4:3 talks about those ‘whose names are in the book of life.’

“You know why it’s important to have your name in the Book of Life? Revelation 20:15 says that people standing at the White Throne Judgment to see whether they’re going to be cast in the 'lake of fire' or not, everybody’s name that is not written in the Book of Life gets cast into that lake.

“It’d be an advantage of have your name in the Book of Life, wouldn’t it? You have to have the life that that Book of Life gives you and that life is Jesus Christ, who said, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life.’ Jesus told his apostles in John 6:63, ‘The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.’

“The Book of Life is a LIVING word of the living God, and that written word puts you in connection with the LIVING Word, the Lord Jesus Christ. So there’s going to be a connection between the structure of your existence, the way God made you in the DNA, and His Word and the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Your body is equally divided into two parts by your spine, right down your back. One side of you will be stronger than the other. For a left-hander, his left side is stronger than his right.

“You know how many bones are in your spine? 33. How many books are there in the Bible? 66 books. The Bible’s divided into what we call the Old and New testaments, but the real way to divide the Bible is between prophecy and mystery. You’re really dividing it between law and grace ‘and what the law couldn’t do because it was weak . . .’ There’s a weak side and ‘you can be strong in the grace that’s in Christ Jesus.’ See how that kind of thing works out there?

“Half of 66 is 33, so your Bible’s going to have a spine through it. There are 1,189 chapters in the Bible. Half of that is 594.5. That means you’d have 594 chapters before that one and 594 after and that’s going to be the middle chapter, which is Psalm 117 (the middle verse is Psalm 103).

“How many parts does that Psalm have? You see any others that have just two verses? How many parts are there to a spine? Two. If you counted the number of words in that Psalm, there are 33. divided into two parts.

it has to do with your back.

“When I think about that, I think about Moses. He told the Lord, ‘I want to see your glory. Show me your face.’ God said, ‘You can’t see my face and live, but I’ll let you see my backside,’ and He went by him and Moses saw God’s back side.

“You know where that’s at? Exodus 33. Moses wanted to see God’s face. Your face is part of your skull. You know how many bones are in your skull? 22. The No. 22 in the Bible is the number that talks about revelation, knowledge, showing forth something.

“By the way, you need to be careful when people come along and say, ‘Well, it doesn’t really matter how these verses are translated,’ because what I’m telling you is only going to be true in a King James Bible.

*****

“John 19:17 says, ‘And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha.’

“What was happening at Calvary? God was in Christ reconciling the world. If you want to see God revealed, where would you really look? If you want to see the love of God, where do you look? God commended His love toward us that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for you--at the place of a skull; a place of God revealing Himself. There’s something in your DNA that compares to what God’s doing over here in His Word.

“Again, the number 22 in the Bible is associated over and over again with making things known; revealing things with knowledge being made known.

“Revelation 22:3-4 says, [3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
[4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

“Where are they going to see His face? It’s going to be in chapter 22 of the Book of Revelation.

“When you study DNA, you’re studying a science called genetics. when you study genertics genesis is a book of genestics, beginnings, this is the beginnign of the gernerations of adam. Genesis 5:1 says, ‘This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him.’

“Genesis is a book of genetics, of beginnings. The verse is saying, ‘Here’s the genetic coding structure of Adam’s descendants.’

“You see that phrase, ‘this is the book’? That’s the first time that term ‘book’ occurs and it occurs in connection with the encoding of what Adam’s descendants are going to be about.

“By the way, if you look at verses 30-32, you learn Genesis 5 starts with Adam and goes to Noah, the 10th from Adam. When you take a DNA structure, it has two panels; two side posts. It’s like a ladder and there are 10 strands that make up the DNA package. It just happens that in ‘the book of the generations,’ in the genetic structure of Adam, there are 10 generations there.

“I’m trying to get you to see that there’s a connection between the physical creation and the spiritual creation.

*****

“Luke 8:11 says, ‘Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.’ What’s in a seed? It’s the DNA, or genetic coding, of a plant. And the seed is the Word of God. You see the connection between the two?

“Now, with ‘the book of the generations of Adam,’ you have the seed. This Book that God wrote, that book David calls ‘thy book,’ it was written in the Hebrew language. The Hebrew language has 22 letters. DNA has 22 amino acids that make up the words that make up the DNA.

“So your New Testament, the second half of the book, is written in the Greek language, which has 44 letters. How many chromosomes do you have? 23 from mom and 23 from dad.

*****

“By the way, you have 22 chromosomes in your cells. The 23rd chromosome is the one that determines whether you are a male or female. In a female, it’s called XX. In a male, you’re an X and a Y. What’s the difference between those two things? One rib is taken out. Now you know something about Genesis 2 that you didn’t know before.

“The way you make one flesh is by taking the combined 46 chromosomes and there you are. That’s described for you in Genesis 2:23: ‘And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.’ You become one flesh in the 23 and 23 becoming 46 in your children.

“If you sat down and took Genesis 2: 23-24 and counted the words in Adam’s quote, you’ll find there are 46 words. In the quote in your Bible that tells you about being one flesh, it just happens to have the right number of words that that one flesh produces.

“In chapter three, if you go through the first five verses and count the number of words Satan speaks to Eve, you get 46. The Bible says in Romans 5:12 that ‘by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin.’ The way Satan enticed Adam and Eve into sin, and into producing an offspring who are genetically, physically and spiritually contaminated by sin, He only used 46 words.

“Romans 1:28 says, ‘And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.’ God lists 23 specific things that life and culture will be filled with when people don’t want to retain God in their knowledge. In verse 32, it says that people who do those things are worthy of death.

“You go into that culture, you don’t need to call a sociologist or a politician to tell you where it came from; that verse told you 2,000 years ago! You see, this stuff’s been written in the encoding of our being.

*****

“It just so happens that I Corinthians is the 46th book of the Bible. It just so happens to quote that verse in Genesis 2 about one flesh. I Corinthians 6:16 says, ‘What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.’

“The problem is Believers shouldn’t be joined to the harlot so in verse 19 he says, ‘What, know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.’ So the temple and your body, it’s the dwelling place of God.

“You go back in the Old Testament and God had a temple that He dwelt in. That temple in the Old Testament is a picture of your body. Before Solomon built the temple, God gave Israel a tabernacle which was a temple made out of skin.

“When God told Solomon how to build that tabernacle, He gave him a pattern and said it was going to be a tent, and He said on the north side He wanted 20 boards, and 20 boards on the south side. On the back were to be six. That adds up to 46 boards holding up the tent.

“He said to ‘make it like I made the pattern in the heavens.’ My point is, there’s a repetition going on here. You see how that structure works? He wrote up there, He wrote it here, then He wrote it in YOU!

“Repetition is the first law of pedagogy. You say it over and over and over again and pretty soon it gets in between that mush in your ears and sinks in.

*****

“I Kings 7:21 says, ‘And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and he called the name thereof Boaz.’

“In the temple, Solomon’s going to be put a pillar on each side of the entrance. If you read the text, you know how high each one of those things are? 23 cubits high. That’s just fascinating.

“In the structure of DNA you have two pillars, two panels. Those two panels are made out of sugar phosphate.

“In Revelation 10, John says he ‘took the book and ate it and it was sweet.’ Sugar is sweet. Phosphate gives light. ‘The entrance of thy word giveth light.’

“In DNA, the ladder up is a twisting one. It’s a spiraling staircase. Every 10th spiral you get a period and start a new one, so you have that panel of DNA but it’s got those two pillars on the side and the 10 spirals of a ladder on the inside.

“I Kings 6:7 says, ‘And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.’

“I Peter 2 says that Israel’s made with lively stones, talking about the members. Verse 8 says, ‘And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.’

“So they’ve got a staircase, a ladder, but it’s not just a straight ladder. By the way, in Genesis 28, you read about Jacob’s ladder. The top is in heaven, the bottom’s on the earth. The ladder’s designed to bring heaven and earth together. Who does that ladder represent? In John 1:51, Jesus said, ‘That ladder represents me. I’m the one going to bring heaven and earth together under God’s authority.’

“You see, there’s a connection between your DNA, that Book and the Lord Jesus Christ. The thing that God wrote in creation reflects what He’s done spiritually in His Word.

*****

“God wrote with His finger the 10 Commandments. By the way, He wrote them on two stones.

“Romans 2:14 says, ‘For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves.’ Any culture you go into, anywhere on the planet, no matter what the level of sophistication is, they all know it’s wrong to murder. They all know it’s wrong to steal, lie. That’s something written into the spiritual DNA of every person. The problem isn’t that they don’t know it; they know it’s WRONG. God fixed you with His Word written into your spiritual DNA.

“Verse 15 says, ‘Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.’ You don’t know these things because of man’s law; you know them because of God’s law and God’s Word. The problem is they hold it in unrighteousness.

*****

“When you trust Christ as your Savior, there’s a miraculous thing that happens in your spiritual DNA. Colossians 3:11 says, ‘Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.’

“In every Believer, Jesus Christ has come to be our life, not be some entity that floats around in you. Verse 16 says the Word of Christ literally DWELLS in your spiritual life, in your soul.

“How this happens is in I Peter 1:23 says, ‘Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.’

“What does it mean to be ‘born again’? Jesus defined the new birth in John 3:6 when he talks to Nicodemus he says, ‘That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.’

“That’s fleshly DNA. So just like your physical birth produces life, your spiritual birth produces life. Just like there’s a combining of the 23 and 23 into a new creature here, there’s a spiritual union that your spirit has with the spirit of God. Verse 23 says it’s by the Word of God. There’s the spiritual DNA that gets implanted into your spirit that produces this new life.

“James 1:21 says, ‘Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.’

“What He does is He literally grafts into your spiritual DNA Jesus Christ’s life. How does He do that? By His Word: ‘Because the words I speak unto you there are spirit and they are life.’ You and I literally have the spiritual DNA of the life of Christ engrafted into our inner man and we are begotten, given life, by the gospel. That’s why there’s a comparison.

*****

“Now, Satan looked at man and all he saw was the physical, so he missed the real source of God’s life. If all you look at is the physical, you don’t really see the real Church the Body of Christ. Where’s the real life of God today? It’s not in the outward. Jesus told the apostles, ‘Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and the physical will be added.’

“That’s always the way it is. Paul says ‘the kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness, joy and peace and the Holy Ghost. It’s always the spiritual first that then lives itself out. The real genuine working of truth, the Body of Christ is a spiritual body of Believers.

“That’s why ordinances, rites and doing this and that won’t help you. It has to be a supernatural transaction that God accomplishes in your inner man when He implants and engrafts His word into your spirit because you believe it.

“I Thessalonians 2:13 says, ‘For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.’

“The real genuine working of truth is in the inside by His Word working.

“Now, Satan’s trying to counterfeit that. He’s trying to join together God and the earth by physical means; by genetic manipulation. God wrote a DNA code and man’s trying to read it and rewrite it. God wrote a spiritual DNA and man reads it and tries to rewrite it. You need to understand where your spiritual life is and let it make the choices for you."
