Does John 3:16 Recall An Ancient Fulfillment?

Something to think about:

"So that every human [being] who believes in him does not [go to] oblivion, except that they may have life everlasting (to [the end of] the universe). For this is how [much] God loved humanity, that he gave forth his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him does not perish (go to oblivion), except that they may have life everlasting. For God did not send his Son to the world (the people) to condemn (judge) people, except that people shall live (be saved [by Him]) by his hand (grace)" (John 3:15-17 Alexander).

Gave. Jesus says at the BEGINNING of His ministry that God GAVE His Son. When? As the Season of Grace was a snapshot of Biblical history (Daniel's 70 weeks culminating in the Milta's appearance, Who was "from the beginning"), I understand that Jesus was this Milta Who was the Beginning in Genesis 1. Barasheeth - "As the Beginning (the SON of God Who IS the Beginning of all things) creates the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1 Alexander, parenthesis mine). God gave Him AT the beginning AS the Beginning. Creation is His crucifixion. He is crucified upon us, even as we are crucified upon these bodies. God so loved humanity that He created the universe for Himself to become man, that man might become Him. That is the course we are on. I am sorry that Biblical history, which is symbolic metaphor, allegorical illustration of this course, does not match the record of secular history. It is true, nevertheless, of what it is about, which I suggest we all pursue.
