It is the same that hovered before Paul in spirit, and that he calls “the last Adam,” while he calls the first man who entered into existence in a physically visible body “the first Adam.”. At the end of the Lemurian epoch we already find various animals below, but man is not yet visible to external eyes; he is still etheric. He condenses, and absorbs mineral constituents and appears in his first form; the physical man gradually appears, just as water condenses into ice, Physical evolution then proceeds so far that what is earthly can dissolve and eventually disappears. Hence the man who has the etheric body appears as the last Adam. The first Adam has the capacity of seeing the earth in the physical body through the physical senses; the last Adam, who assumes a spiritual body, is an expression of the inner capacity for receiving the Christ. Hence Christ is called by Paul the last Adam. This comprises the whole of human evolution; in spirit we see what man will become in the future, whereas before we saw how he descended to the earth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture IX","site_heading":"Human Evolution and the Spiritualized Earth's Future Form","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Es ist dasselbe, was Paulus im Geiste vorschwebt und was er nennt den «letzten Adam», während er den ersten Menschen, der in einem physisch sichtbaren Leibe ins Dasein getreten ist, den «ersten Adam» nennt. In der lemurischen Zeit, an der Grenze des lemurischen Zeitalters, finden wir unten schon verschiedene Tiere, der Mensch aber ist noch nicht für äußere Augen sichtbar, er ist noch ätherisch. Er verdichtet sich, nimmt mineralische Bestandteile auf, er erscheint in seiner ersten Gestalt. Wie wenn Wasser sich verdichtet zu Eis, so kommt der physische Mensch heraus. Dann geht die physische Entwickelung so weit, daß sich auflösen kann, was irdisch ist, und da entschwindet das Irdische. Daher erscheint der Mensch, der den ätherischen Leib hat, als der «letzte Adam». Der «erste Adam» hat die Fähigkeit, im physischen Leib durch die physischen Sinne auf die Erde zu sehen, der letzte Adam, der einen geistigen Leib annimmt, ist eine Physiognomie der inneren Christus-Fähigkeit. Christus wird daher auch von Paulus der «letzte Adam» genannt. So schließt sich dasjenige, was die Menschwerdung enthält, zusammen. Wir sehen im Geiste aufleuchten, was aus dem Menschen einst werden wird, während wir vorher gesehen haben, wie der Mensch herunterstieg auf unsere Erde.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":211,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/104/1908-06-26/p013"}],"english":["GA 104/1908-06-26/p012"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":211,"en_words":208,"ratio":0.99,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.01,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5292,"original_word_count":5228,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Mabel Cotterell","identified_edition":"APC1958","book_title":"The Apocalypse of St. John","publisher":"Anthroposophical Publishing Co.","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA104/English/APC1958/19080626p01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
