I have recently come across verses in John chapter 6 and 1 Corinthians 15 describing our Master Yeshua, the Son of Adam, the Son of God, as having come from Heaven above. Our Master Yeshua the Anointed One is the Heavenly Man.
John 6:32-33 NKJV
32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
John 6:38-40
38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:48
48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”
John 6:58
58 This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
1 Corinthians 15: 45 - 49
45 And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
. . .
47 The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is [the Lord*] from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.
[*] some manuscripts do not have "the Lord"
Brothers and Sisters in the Anointed, let us put our faith in the promise of God: that one day we will all be raised with transformed incorruptible bodies. As we have borne the image of the first Adam all our lives, we shall one day bear the image of our Master, the Anointed One - the Heavenly Man.
