A Substitute is an Extension
Seth was a substitute for Abel. That means he was a the-same-as. A substitute is the same as what it is a substitute for, or it doesn't work. You cannot substitute rocks for flour. No matter how much yeast you put in, it will not rise. What the original does, the substitute does. If it doesn't, it isn't a legitimate substitute.
Oh, no Dan. Abel was cool. Seth's son was Enosh, weak and sickly. Not cool.
Fascination with Acquisition (Cain) is what kills Abel. That is its "son." Weak and sickly, as Enosh was to Seth. It's a rehash, a parallel, a repeat, dude. As Eve got Seth in place of Abel, the Antediluvian Patriarchs (our attitudes, really) lead us to Noah and the New World. It's a the-same-as. Moses is working on getting the idea over to us that God is relentless in perfecting Itself regardless of the "death" that gets in His way. God is a steamroller of faithfulness (the last chapters of Revelation are already written, so they must HAVE happened).
The Milta (see my last couple of posts) was and is what God embodies. God is showing a picture of the Milta, not the other way around. The Milta is the Big Thing we are in and of. It is our Substitute, an extension of us. BOY(!) that is humbling. What it demonstrated in Jesus Christ is what we really are. In the Milta we were born of a virgin, lived a perfect life, have been condemned unjustly, died on a cross and were buried, raised by God on the third day, and are ascended into heaven and seated in the heavenlies.
Now, was God kidding? I don't think so.
And he told them, "Go to all people and preach my faith in all creation. Whoever believes and declares it, shall Live, and whoever does not believe, will be held accountable. Signs then to those that believe, they who adhere to us, in my name, they will cast out demons, and they will speak in new languages* (tongues), and they will handle snakes* (take up snakes, or deal with evil people), and if deadly poison they drink* (if they drink poison of death, or whatever happens to them), it will not affect them. And they will consecrate their hands on the sick and they will be restored" (Mark 16:15-20 Alexander).
Jesus then the Lord (the Milta!), after he spoke with them, went up to heaven, and sat from the right of God (to sit from the right of God means TO BE THE RIGHT ARM OF GOD*). They then went out, and preached every place, and the Lord helped them and began filling them with signs that they performed.
Wait. Did I just say that we are the right arm of God? Hmmm. Oh, and that as we have the same nature, we thus have the same name.
