When we come to the Holy Scripture, we must come with humility, and the preparation of mind as children desiring the sincere milk of the word Matt.19:14; always in readiness to hear the mysteries of creation: who we are; whence we are; our purpose here on earth, and our destination after here: from the Creator Himself. All His saints are in His hand: and we are sitted at His feet; every one that shall receive of His word, like Mary who sat at the feet of the Master Yahshua, and heard His word; and was not occupied with the mundane things of this world like Martha her sister. For we are sanctified through His truth, His word is truth. If we by ignorance are giving service to them who by nature are not Elohim, why not seek Him? Knowing He is discovered in His own stories: the holy Scripture Jn.5:39. Forasmuch as many that have gone before me have taken into consideration to set forth in order the narratives of those things which are difficult to be understood by them that are lost, because the gospel is hid from them. In whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of them that believed not lest the light of the glorious gospel of the Messiah, who is the image of the invisible Elohim should shine unto them, to give them the light of the knowledge of the glory of the Father in the face of the Son. It seemed good also to me having a perfect knowledge of the light, I deemed it necessary to testify of the light; warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Yahshua the Messiah. Standing fast in the liberty wherewith the Messiah has made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage: the weak and beggarly elements of the law; that the Messiah may be pefect in our life, and profit us in all things.
1). In the beginning Elohim said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Elohim CREATED man in His own image, in the image of Elohim CREATED He HIM; (MALE and FEMALE) created He (THEM). And Elohim blessed THEM 1:26-28. 2). And Yahweh Elohim FORMED man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils THE BREATH OF LIFE; and man became a LIVING SOUL Gen.2:7. 3). And Yahweh Elohim planted a garden eastward in Eden and there He put THE Man whom He had formed. And out of the ground made Yahweh Elohim to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; THE TREE OF LIFE ALSO IN THE MIDST OF THE GARDEN, AND THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL Gen.2:8,9. And Yahweh Elohim took THE man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. 4). And Yahweh Elohim commanded THE man, saying of every tree of the garden THOU mayest freely eat: but of THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, THOU shall not eat of it: for in the day that THOU eatest thereof THOU shall surely die Gen.2:15-17. From Gen.1:26-28 the INNER Man was CREATED in the image of Elohim, a spirit being Jn.4:24, and in His likeness. And the OUTER Man, the FLESH was FORMED in Gen.2:7 and breathed into with the breath of life, and he become a LIVING SOUL Job.10:9-12. From Gen. 2:7-17 is known as the old creation 1Cor.15:45. He was made a living soul. The great mystery about this man Adam was the female Adam in him; but has not emerged at this juncture of creation. Elohim was specific in Gen.1:27 of their GENDERS: MALE and FEMALE; and the pronoun THEM, and the plural BOTH in vs28. And in Gen.5:1,2 by the inspiration of Elohim we learned that in the day that He CREATED Man, in His likeness made He him; MALE and FEMALE CREATED He THEM; blessed THEM, and called THEIR NAME ADAM, IN THE DAY when THEY WERE CREATED. Very important to differentiate the CREATION of the spirit, the INNER Man in Gen.1:26-28, from the FORMATION of the FLESH, the living soul in Gen.2:7 when interpreting the Scripture. For the day a Scripture is rightly interpreted to your understanding, it is also fulfilled to your hearing; you then become a faithful witness to the truth, or holding the truth in unrighteousness. The giving of the commandment came after man has become a living soul, independent of the Woman. Therefore, obedience or disobedience of the commandment of the forbidden commission in 2:15-17 should rest soley upon the Male Adam 1Tim.2:13,14. Though both the male and female Adam were already existing as a spirit being from Gen.1:26-28; but the Woman did not emerge till Gen.2:22; it was only the male Adam that was fashioned together round about, made as the clay; poured out as milk, and curdled like cheese; and clothed with skin and flesh; and fenced with bones and sinews 2Cor.5:1-6; and breathed into with the breath of life in Gen.2:7; Job. 34:14,15; Eccl.12:7; Is.42:5.
And Yahweh Elohim said, it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him Gen.2:18. And Yahweh Elohim caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which Yahweh Elohim had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, this is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man Gen.2:19. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh (wahala! An advise from the man to himself, of what is coming) Gen.2:19,21-25. We must factor in another important issue at this juncture of creation concerning the principle and character of the creator when it comes to responsibility and accountability. Because He is not the author of confusion, but of peace. When He gave the commandment in Gen.2:16,17 to THE Man as we have cited earlier, THE Woman was still in the Man. The Serpent being wise and subtle did not go to the Man whom the instruction was given to, but to the Woman with a second hand information from the Man. Therefore her answers to the question from the serpent in Gen.3:1-3 was in contradiction with the commandment given to THE Man in Gen.2:16,17. 1). The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was not the only tree in the midst of the garden that was pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life was there also in Gen.2:9. 2). Not only that she took away from the word, but she also added: by saying, neither shall THEY (TOUCH IT) Gen.2:17. Above all she was not there when the commandment was given; therefore the pronoun THEY, and the word TOUCH in Gen.3:3 was an error to Gen 2:17. The rule of agreement for spiritual offence and defense, the sword and the shield are off: in the mouth of two or three witnesses let every word be established 2Chr.20:20. She is now left to her own understanding Prov.3:5,6.
There must have been a break down in the line of communication between the Man and the Woman from what was actually given to THE Man ALONE; and the Serpent took advantage to entrap the man to see whom he will obey: Elohim’s commandment in Gen.2:16,17, or his own word spoken in Gen.2:24 without permission 1Cor.7:6. This is why apostle Paul said to Timothy, let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. And suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to learn in silence 1Tim.2:11,12. We must not neget the fact that all the time the Woman was still in the Man, his fellowship with Yahweh Elohim was perfect; but the emergence of the woman to existance, exposed a weak link to that fellowship with Elohim: the word of Elohim or his own word? Job.2:9,10. And the Serpent said unto the Woman, you shall not die: for Elohim does know that in the day that ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. A seed of tresspass was sowed. By teaching her to excercise her own will in the realm of divine authority Gen.2:16,17. She fell for the lie and took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat in unbelief: an insult to divine veracity. Wherefore, as by one man Sin enterd into the world, and DEATH by Sin; and so DEATH PASSED UPON ALL MEN, FOR that ALL have SINNED Roms.5:12. This was the Sin that BROUGHT UNIVERSAL DEATH TO HUMANITY. For AS IN ADAM ALL DIE. And unto Adam Yahweh Elohim said, because thou has hearken unto the voice of thy wife, (a choice between Him and his wife Gen.2:24,) and has eaten of the tree, of which I commanded THEE, saying, THOU shall not eat of it, to the ground THOU shall return unto; for out of it was THOU taken: for dust THOU art, and unto dust shall THOU return Gen.3:17-19; Roms.5:17-19. Satan new the consequences of rebellion Is.55:9-10, and Adam understood the consequences of his choice in joining her to eat of that tree Is.5:16; but we by it learned the integrity of Elohim in judgment and righteousness Ps.33:5; Roms.15:4. The man and the woman were cast out of Eden, from the presence of Elohim; that was the first death: spiritual death. Though he lived nine hundre and thirty years before returning to the dust. The spirit man: (the inner man) in Gen.1:26,27 was quenched; and the formed man, the flesh (the outer man) in Gen.2:7 sustained by the breath of life took over the driving seat to rule. Adam after the seperation called his wife Eve: the mother of all living. Adam start having children in his own likeness, after his image. He that is born of the flesh, is flesh and can never be improved to anything else till he return back to the dust. The flesh profit nothing, because no good thing dwells in the flesh; therefore in the flesh can no man please Elohim. And he that soweth to the flesh shall of the flesh reap nothing but corruption 1Cor.2:14.
And Yahweh Elohim said unto the serpent, because thou has done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shall thou eat all the days of thy life: and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel Gen.3:14,15. This prophecy is profound in the sense that there is going to be an on going enmity between the woman, and between the serpent’s seed, and the woman’s seed. The Messiah said to the unbelieving Jews, you are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Paul in Acts.13:8-12 called Elymas the sorcere child of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, full of all subtilty and all mischief; and asked him, will he not ceaze to pervert the right ways of the Master? How do we differentiate, and identifies them? The answer is made clear in the parable of the wheat and tares. Matt.13:24-30, 36-43. They are after the established order of obedience 2Cor.11:1-4,13-15; always looking for the opportunity to corrupt the present truth 2Pet.1:12. To Be Continued. Shalom! 2Cor.13:8, 2:17, 4:1-7.
