Vol 1 Number 7 Part 2 The Mystery

One could say with theological accuracy that the Church was within the
Godhead for eternity, just as was all creation was awaiting to be spoken forth, or if you will, birthed.
Remember in Genesis 1 Moses wrote "and God said, Let there be...and there was..." Whatever God was creating on that particular day as He spoke it it came into being. All throughout the Bible God speaks and then something happens. There was the creation of the universe and all that exist within, above, around, and on that God spoke into existence. The God who speaks also said that it was not good for man to be alone. Thus from the side of man He brought forth a new part of man. A part that was already there, but now a new part. This God who spoke, spoke a song. A love song of ultimate porportions. One that would last an eternity. This is God's Song. It is romantic song of passion, of longing for companionship even beyond the Godhead. An endearing relationship with mutual friends and lovers.
Just as it was not good for the first Adam to be alone, God saw that it was not good for His Son to be alone. Just as the 'woman' was taken out of Adam's side as he slept, so God took from Jesus' side at the crucifixion (where the blood and water flowed) a 'woman.' As he slept in death a woman was coming forth from Jesus. This woman is the mystery that the Godhead had waiting to reveal for centuries.
This was all part of the divine plan that Adam was created in loneliness to reveal the loneliness of the Godhead to share Himself with someone else. The loneliness of God can be seen in the willingness to make humankind in His own image. Just as Adam was created alone and needed someone to share his life with, the Godhead wanted "another" outside of Himself to share Himself with.
The first Adam expressed loneliness as he completed naming all the animals. God saw that it was not good for the man to be alone. This is not an afterthought on God's part. As stated earlier, it was all part of the divine plan. So from within the first Adam the first woman was birthed. A shadow(something that would be revealed in Jesus later) of what the Godhead had in mind for the Second Adam's Second Eve---the Church.
As Jesus hung on the cross ans was split at his side a new woman came forth. This second Eve, the church, the mystery which Jesus had declared earlier that he would build was not of man's doing.

Well, that's me Jus Thinkin' (Later on there will an addition to these two.)
