FIGURE ELEVEN

Here Adam, in the same Place as before, appears again, but in Union with Christ, which is to be referred to the Person of Jesus Christ, or of the second Adam in our Humanity upon Earth; and is to show the absolute Necessity of His Holy Incarnation, and immaculate Sacrifice for all Mankind, without which the great Work of our Regeneration and Reunion with SOPHIA could not have been wrought out to Perfection. In His Incarnation He brought that most significant Character, which the first Adam had lost, into the Humanity again, but first in His own Human Person, although it could not be visible in Him from without, whilst He was upon Earth a Man like unto us in all Things, Sins excepted. And therefore He, and even He alone, was able and sufficient to go for us into Death, to kill Death in His own Death, to break in His Passage the Hook and Sting of Satan, to enter into, and through his dark Territory, to bruise the Serpent's Head, and to ascend up on high, to take possession of His Throne, whereby the Prophecy of Micah 2:13 was fulfilled: "The Breaker is come up before them."
