“God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so” (Gen 1:24).
‘Earth’ shows earthly people and also the saints of New Earth. In a physical sense, the earth can only bring forth earthly lives i.e. cattle and creeping things. In a spiritual sense, it means that earthly people (those who have a nature of clinging to the things of the earth) can only win souls who have mundane desires. Similarly, the saints going to New Earth can produce only saints for New Earth. The earth could not bring forth fowls that fly above the earth. People who have earthly natures cannot produce people for New Jerusalem and Zion, or people having divine natures. Also, the saints going to New Earth cannot win souls who live a heavenly life and become ready for the Rapture. Only higher grade saints can produce other higher grade saints.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (Jn 3:6). Let us put off all carnal natures; they will create death in us and in others. Let us walk in the Spirit and bring forth spiritual fruit to God and lead many into the same spiritual experience.
