Christ the Archetype of Adam
W. Anot, D.D. 1 Corinthians 15:45-50 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.… Sometimes, after an engraven steel-plate has given forth some pictures it is destroyed, in order to enhance the value of the copies thrown off. If the copies were all destroyed, then the ideal would be lost. But when one type was thrown off and planted in paradise, the original remained when the copy was spoiled. Man still remained — the Eternal Son remained. (W. Anot, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. WEB: So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
