Every revelation from the Lord is serious, and you must receive it with the assurance that it was sent to make you successful in all areas. The lesson we are studying is about the reign of death, which lasted thousands of years. This reign began with Adam's sin and continued until Moses was raised by God to bring the Israelites out of Egyptian captivity and lead them to Canaan.

Moses acted according to the Father's command, having carried out the work with such care and excellence that the best masters in the world cannot be compared to him. Moses was a servant in the fullest sense of the word and the meekest man on Earth—submissive to the Lord in every way (Numbers 12:3). God expects you to follow this example, so that His power may operate without hindrance in your life (Matthew 5:5; Galatians 5:22). He takes care of His own!

The devil did not give up on Adam's descendants, for he said that the world had been given to him (Luke 4:6). However, this thought was a lie, because the entry of the evil one into the world did not have the authorization of the Most-High. This fact only occurred because Satan deceived the first couple, usurping the authority of the one who would be the father of humanity. Those who seize some power will one day stand before the Almighty to answer for their wicked deeds.

Some people were tremendously blessed by being able to separate themselves from the lost, seeking the Lord with all their heart. Although the violent consider themselves owners of the goods they took from others, the day will come when everyone will stand before God and answer for the acts committed through the body (2 Corinthians 5:10). Acting with prudence is the best decision!

We had not yet been born, and this sentence was already weighing on humanity. However, by listening to the Word, we move from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of Light, where Truth prevails. When they hear about the love of God, people can decide what to do and be free thru faith in Jesus (Colossians 1:13-14). Therefore, everyone can live free as long as they open their hearts to the redemptive message of Christ and accept this holy work!

When we hear the Word, we learn about the deeds of Jesus in favor of humanity and receive Him as our Substitute. Our fate changes, and we are redeemed from our iniquities. Now, we are free, and nothing of the devil is upon us. The debt of the saved is already paid, since the Father was satisfied with the sacrifice of His Son on the cross, when He shed His blood to redeem us. What a wonderful God!

Adam is called a type of Him who was to come, and this is new to many people. Because Jesus suffered in our place, we owe the devil nothing anymore (2 Corinthians 5:21). All people who surrender to the Savior are transported from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of Light (Colossians 1:13)!
