2 ESDRAS: The Hidden Book of Prophecy With 1st Esdras - Book - Page 66
Luke 12:8 KJV
Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him
shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Romans 10:9 KJV
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Philippians 2:11 KJV
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father.
1 John 1:19 KJV
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth
in him, and he in God.
Do you recall the term the first Adam? It does not appear in scripture often but Paul
was very likely reading and applying the term from 2nd Esdras.
2nd Esdras 3:21
For the first Adam bearing a wicked heart transgressed, and was overcome; and
so be all they that are born of him.
1 Corinthians 15:45 KJV
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last
Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual,
but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first
man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from
heaven.
Just two verses later, Paul identifies in the same vein as 2nd Esdras that Adam was
natural or fleshly or earthy. He then, describes Yahusha as the second Adam or man.
We all know the earth groans in travail for His return. However, did you know that
concept originates in 2nd Esdras? Paul and Messiah are quoting 2nd Esdras.
2nd Esdras 4:42
For like as a woman that travails, makes haste to escape the
necessity of the travail: even so do these places haste to deliver
those things that are committed unto them.
Romans 8:22 KJV
For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain
together until now.
