Guest guest Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 CW14 P 556 At the midpoint where Adam was buried, the “four corners come together; for when God created the earth his power ran along in front of it, and the earth ran after his power from four sides like winds and gentle breezes, and there his power stopped and came to rest. And there will be accomplished the redemption for Adam and all his children.” Over the grave where the cross would stand there grew a tree, and there too was the altar of Melchizedek. When Shem laid the body on the ground, ‘the four sides moved away from one another, the earth opened in the form of a cross, and Shem and Melchizedek laid the body inside. And as soon as they had done this, the four sides moved together again and covered the body of our Father Adam, and the doors of the earth were closed. And the same spot was named the Place of the Skull, because the head of all men was laid there, and Golgotha, because it was round … and Gabbatha, because all the nations were gathered in it.’ “There the power of God will appear, for the four corners of the world have there become one,” say the Ethiopic Clementines. God said to Adam: “I shall make thee God, but not now; only after the passing of a great number of years.” The apocryphal “Life of Adam and Eve” says that the east and north of paradise were given to Adam, but the west and south to Eve. The Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer reveals that Adam was buried in the double cave Machpelach, and that Eve, Abraham and , Isaac and , and Leah were buried there too. “Therefore the cave was named Kiriath Arba’, the City of Four, because four husbands and wives were buried there.” fa " Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you.
