Before I begin, I’d like to share that I used Copilot (Microsoft 365) to help organize and write out what I’ve been seeing—keeping it clear, simplified, and true to the points I’ve been making over time.
I will be sharing this in a series of posts to keep everything as clear and focused as possible.
There are things I’ve read for years that didn’t fully make sense at first—until I began to see a pattern.
Not something new, but something that kept appearing…until it was recognized.
(This is part of a series where I’m sharing what I’ve been seeing over time.)
Let’s begin…
🔹 Something I’ve Seen Repeated
For a long time, I didn’t think of this as something new.
It felt like something I kept noticing—
in different places,
at different times—
until eventually, I realized it wasn’t just a coincidence.
It was a pattern.
Not something I built.
Something I recognized.
🔹 It Begins with the Side
When I went back to Genesis, something stood out more clearly than it ever had before.
It doesn’t just say that man and woman were created.
It says:
“Then the Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam…
and He took one of his ribs…
and the rib which the Jehovah God had taken from the man,
He made into a woman.”
— Genesis 2:21-22
And then Adam says:
“This is now bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh.”
— Genesis 2:23
That moment stayed with me.
Because it isn’t just about creation.
It’s about recognition.
🔹 Something Hidden, Then Seen
What I started to notice is that something whole is opened—
and then revealed.
Not destroyed.
Not lost.
Revealed.
What was one
is made visible
in a way that can now be known.
🔹 The Pattern Appears Again
Then, reading through the Gospels, I saw the same place again.
The side.
But this time, it happens at the cross.
“But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear,
and immediately blood and water came out.”
— John 19:34
That stopped me.
Because now the same place—
the side—
is opened again.
But this time not at the beginning.
At the end… or what looks like the end.
🔹 And Yet It Isn’t the End
Because what happens next changes everything.
🔹 Flesh and Bones
After the resurrection, Jesus says:
“Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself.
Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones
as you see that I have.”
— Luke 24:39
I remember reading that and realizing—
He makes a point of this.
He doesn’t leave it vague.
He makes it clear:
flesh and bones.
🔹 Not Something New — Something Fulfilled
And that’s where it connected for me.
Because in Genesis we hear:
“Bone of my bones,
and flesh of my flesh.”
And after the resurrection:
“flesh and bones as you see that I have.”
That connection doesn’t feel accidental.
🔹 The First Adam — The Last Adam
Scripture says:
“The first man Adam became a living being.
The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:45
But when I hold that together with the resurrection…
I don’t see something less physical.
I see something completed.
Not removed from what was created—
but brought into its fullness.
🔹 The Same Pattern, Still Moving
When I step back, this is what I see:
Genesis:
something is opened → something is revealed → recognition
Cross:
the body is opened → something flows out
Resurrection:
the body is restored → seen → recognized again
🔹 What Changed For Me
At some point, this stopped being about isolated verses.
And it started feeling like something that runs through everything.
The same structure—
the same movement—
appearing again and again.
🔹 And Then I Noticed What Comes Next
Because it doesn’t stop there.
Right after this…
in the garden…
there is someone there
before the others understand.
A woman.
And she sees first.
What begins hidden is opened,
and what is opened is meant to be seen.
