What was the last Adam made?
The last Adam was made a quickening spirit, that is, a life-giving spirit, as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:45. He is also identified as the second man, the Lord from heaven, in contrast to the first Adam, who was made a living soul.
Les explains that the last Adam is the second man, the Lord from heaven, who was made a quickening or life-giving spirit. He contrasts the two federal heads: Adam, as head of the natural progeny, plunged the human race into sin, and sin precipitated death. The first man Adam was made a living soul, but the last Adam gives life. Les emphasizes comparing Scripture with Scripture, pointing to 1 Corinthians 15:45-46 and Romans 5:12. He notes that the natural comes first, then the spiritual, and that the second Adam is the Lord from heaven.
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
