DEATH: BLESSING OF A MERCIFUL GOD<br />

Thus God wanted to give a way out <strong>and</strong> this God did by introducing the law of decay <strong>and</strong><br />

<strong>death</strong>. We have discussed this in the chapter on life. What God did was to introduce the<br />

dialectics of opposing forces of order in the life as the law of immaterial world (often referred to<br />

as Spiritual world, though in jewish mysticism it includes more than that). <strong>and</strong> disorder in the<br />

law of material world. Notice what God says to Adam.<br />

Gen 3:17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, <strong>and</strong> have<br />

eaten from the tree of which I comm<strong>and</strong>ed you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:<br />

“Cursed is the ground for your sake;<br />

In toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life."<br />

Thus the loving father made the entropy increase law for the matter <strong>and</strong> energy was used to<br />

keep the entropy to maintain life, until finally the <strong>death</strong> comes in as a blessing. Death will reign<br />

until relief <strong>and</strong> redemption is found for man i.e. it was ordained with a hope.<br />
