An adversary is a worthy opponent set up for the drama in our lives.

Yahweh introduced the serpent (Satan) into the garden of Eden as an adversary. Lucifer was set up right from the beginning in heaven as the great deceiver to come down into the earth plane to deceive the woman Eve. This is for the drama in Yahweh's purpose and plan. Yahweh willed a worthy opponent for a contrast. (For this cause have I raised thee up Pharaoh, to show forth my power and might sayeth Yahweh). Once Eve tasted of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, she knew she was naked and hid herself along with Adam. Yahweh then drove them out of the garden so they could be fruitful and multiply. The man Adam and his wife Eve had to become willful because they were now aware of their physical bodies and so started the purpose into motion. They had to have thoughts of good and evil for the contrast, and drama to begin their life in the flesh. But remember Yahweh was the author and finisher of both mysteries, iniquity and righteousness. Even Adam and Eve's first born son Cain, when Able showed up, had thoughts of self glorification and wanted attention over and above his brother. Yahweh created Lucifer in principle as the most glorious angel in heaven so that he could rise up and deceive a third part of the angels in heaven to be cast into the earth plane for a contrast in his purpose and plan. Satan is not just a worthy adversary, but an asset in principle.

Ever since we were small babies, once we appreciated thought in our minds, we became willful and competitive in seeking our own attention for our glorification. We became possessive of our toys, our parents, and anything in our minds that we claimed as ours. In competing with our siblings, we would create drama to gain that attention. For example when one child enters into a family, they sometimes have to compete with a younger or older sibling for attention of the parents. By fighting with their bothers or sisters or competing for better grades in school with peers, we can see the adversarial principle at work in us all. We all love competition, attention, gaining glory and self recognition in this world through our life's dedication and work to our possessions, such as houses, cars, clothes and our standings in the community of friends and peers. We want respect and honor from this world one way or another and we are set-up this way for the direct contrast and drama of Yahweh's will.

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Yahshua the Messiah, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the Law of the Spirit of Life in Yahshua has made me free from the Law of sin and death. (Rom. 8:1-2) That means when one truly understands Yahweh's purpose and plan in this life and that this drama and adversarial approach which we are all participants within is all part of the contrast, we are home free. For then we know that the Son of Yahweh is come and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Yahshua. This is the true Elohim and eternal life.
(1 John 5:20)

Further examples: Look how we love to read books, see movies and watch television for the drama, the competition and to witness the good and evil being played out. It is dramatized on the news on a daily basis. It exists as part of our lives continuously for the contrast, so that we are self aware of body and mind to fulfill our purpose here in this life. For Yahweh has come down himself and is 'the word made flesh' and we now behold his glory in ourselves. Yahweh's will being done through us, is raising us up as self aware conscious beings for his glory and purpose and plan. We are only allotted 70 years (give or take a few years) in this temporal existence to bring to fruition the idea of this self, with the hope of reconciliation of returning in conscious glory of who we truly are, through an understand that we are Yahweh in a body. Not just of a flesh and blood existence but within a conscious spiritual existence of the body of heavenly attributes. This is our round trip guaranteed return journey back into the bosom of the Father or back into heaven itself. For he has showed us a way, as he is the way, the truth and the life back into conscious glorification in the new heaven and new earth state. For Yahweh seeks us to worship (understand and glorify) him in spirit and in truth, which really and truly is knowing who you are.

Wow, does this even come close to the vain imaginations in our hearts and our minds that we falsely created in our Ante and Post Diluvian thinking? No way! We have come to a profound conscious realization of who we are and how we operate according to the pattern of principles, which is Yahweh Elohim himself.

love and peace, Spirit
