"The Second Man Is The Lord From Heaven".

The second man who is the Lord from heaven and the last Adam, did not restore us in the estate of the first man as some wrongly teach by asserting that he has brought us back to the garden of Eden, back to the glory & fellowship lost therein to restore the dominion mandate of Genesis 1:28; He rather brings us into the paradise of God in heaven, of which the garden of Eden was only but a type.  He brings us to his own estate, the estate of the heavenly, which is far above the earthly estate & dominion of the first man. His dominion is a dominion over all things, both in heaven and on earth, thus He sits at the righthand of God in the heavenly places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion.  All things both in heaven and on earth have been put under him, all angels and authorities have been made subject unto Him(1st Peter 3:21-22. This is the transcendent glory of the second man and in Him, we have been made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ.
