Needs more to Proofing
I have been pondering over a issue as to why the magnificent God would make perfect beings, and then dismiss them from his presence, after giving them everything that he had. At first, I was led to read these first three chapters of Genesis a few times, and each time I read the scriptures I receive yet another Epiphany.
Epiphany 1) Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and earth. From verses 10,12,18,21,25, God confirmed that everything made at this point was good.
Notice that in Chapter 1, God was consulting strategically with someone as to how he wanted to make man. After researching I found many assumptions, but I have been moved in this direction. We often say that God new us before he laid the foundations of the world. I am believing that God met with angelic beings, as he met with the sons of God in the book of Job 1:6. The key here is that God discussed the matter with someone. Strong's suggest that the heavenly court, and the "sons of God" in Gen 6:2. Also the word, ben pronounced (bane) means the members of heavenly host. My final discussion on this matter of "who" brings me to yet another epiphany.
Gen 3:22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and live for ever. Again God is speaking to someone. My next theory leads me to the Garden of Eden Cherubims (Gen. 3:24). My point is that God new Adam and Eve before the foundation of the world. He spoke him into existence, and then by verse 2:6 God actually formed man out of the dust and breathe into his nostrils and he then, became a living soul. By the 8-9 verse of Chapter 2, God said, "out of the ground made the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the mist of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Notice that God made man in their image, and likeness, and gave him everything to the point that he was as wise as God and God tested him to see how wise Adam was by bringing the beast to Adam and allowed Adam to name them. He took Adam for a test run. Adam (Gen.2:19-20).
God showed his love for man from the beginning, because he respected him so much as a father loves his son. He allowed Adam to take authority. After Adam finished naming his community, God put him to sleep, and remove one of his ribs from his side, and made Adam a help meet "good fit" for him . He married them, and gave them a command, that they should not to eat from the tree of good and evil nor the tree of life, although God made to grow every tree that was pleasant to sight and good for food, even the forbidden trees (Gen. 2:9).
Epiphany 3) Adam the beast, and the serpent was made out of the ground, but Eve came out of Adam. God did not breathe life into Eve, and she was not made out of the ground. She came out of life. [(chayah) Hebrew word pronounced Khaw-yaw'] It means to live, cause to revive: keep (leave, make) alive, certainly, give (promise) life, quicken. In the ground stem this verb means having life. Adam lived to be 936-years. Notice that in (Gen. 2:17) was the only verbal discussion about the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Why would God, the all wise and all knowing God make a creation, and destroy it? Note, Eve came out of the first man a living being, and this was after Adam had performed in his smarts and expertise that God had given him. He was wise to the core, because God (Gen. 19:20). Let us make them in our image, and our likeness. To be like God one would have to have his spirit, the body, and the wisdom of God. God made Adam and the snake out of the same ground. (Gen. 3:1) Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. God is wise, and God is always right.
God Purposely Established Order
and her purpose of receiving an anointing of Double portion was tone down so she could "fit" the help meet" position. God chose them both before the foundation of the world, and he had already equipped them with the tools they needed to defend themselves from the wilds of the enemy, God had to place order, therefore each of them had to see how important their roles were to the future.
How was God Going to Introduce Sin to His Creations?
I claim no infringement of this paragraph, but you can look it up for your self.
How was God going to introduce sin to his creations? Well you would need a subtle/cunning creature for that, and we call him Satan. God had some fallen angels (Nephilims) "First, we have Satan and his group of strictly non-corporeal angels (i.e. the "sons of heaven"), who probably fell around the time of Adam.(1) Second, we have the group of angels known as the Nephilim (i.e. "strangers"), who also fell around this time.(2) Their physical make up, however, seemed to be a lot closer to human beings. Upon their fall, and unlike Satan and his fallen brigade, these Nephilim were much more able to take on human form. Their punishment was to live on earth like anyone else, be subjected under Adam's authority, and serve him in the workings of the Garden".
God left Eve knowing that she would discern the difference between good and evil. How did I come up with that? (Gen 3:5,6,22) God said get a load of that, they have become like one of us. This was not a surprise to God, nor the heavenly host. God spoke both of them into existence in Chapter 1: 24-27; 2:9). Eve was made to be smart enough to discern as much as Adam, but Eve had something different from both the serpent and Adam. Although her new husband was knowledgeable, there was one area missing. They had never seen the true identity of each other as male and female, until the serpent whom God allowed to be attracted to Eve in order to show Eve the pleasant to the eyes, good food, and a tree to be desired to make one wise. At this juncture, I believe something was left out, because God made Eve from Life, and his plan for her was to birth life, and be a mother of the living. I believe that God tested Eve for her position, and although the introduction of the cunningness of the serpent was not wrong in its entirety. Eve was the one God chose to define in define pleasure, food, and good looking things:)) At that moment Eve knew pleasure, Adam new beauty and arousal, and of course the serpent always new the distinction and the power of it all. The question would then be, was God sleep when this happened? No, of course not. God cannot commit sin, but he created creatures that can carry out his sinful acts, ask Pharaoh (Ro. 9:17). Had God allowed them to stay in the garden, they would have become as God.
As they both sat there, notice that Adam did not step in to disrupt the serpents attack on his wife. He was just as green as Eve, but Adam named the serpent from the beast of the field, and God bought them to him to name, as God watched him name them. Eve never new the serpent, therefore this was God's way of introducing the temptations of the enemy through the serpent. But after all of this Eve new her husband, and I don't think they knew each other prior to this event with the serpent.
God Is smart and he's always right. Since, God cannot take us into sinful places and do the acts of sin with us, he created the serpent, whom we call Satan today. Eve did have the wisdom of God, and argued six verses for a stance of why they should not eat from the forbidden tree. She was operating in her purpose, because she was the mother of all living. She was the caveat of the first Human relationship between man and woman, and although she did not know that the serpent was not the same kind as she, until her eyes perceived their was a difference, and after the event, they both perceived their disobedience unfolded their nakedness. God straighten that out when he returned. As we all know, Adam was wise, but God intentionally made Eve out of man, therefore, she was called the mother of the living. When you are to give birth to other beings I believe you must have a thrust hold of knowledge to impart to others, and that knowledge must come from God, because you are innovating and imprinting a development of yourself within others. They came from God and God use this to be a teachable moment rather than a destroy them moment. As he did For David, after he slept with Bathsheba, Uriah wife.
They deserved death, but God gave them mercy (Ro. 9:15-26). "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion, as he informed Moses".
Therefore, God chose to have mercy and he clothe their nakedness with garments of skin, because he respected his creations enough to cover them from the sin, and give them the future to evolve in mature men and women that God originally chose them to be. Pay attention that had this event not happened we would have walked around like the Hebrew word (adamah) pronounced ad-aw-maw meaning from its redness, ground, husband. Initially, this noun represents "arable ground " (probably red in color) supporting water and plants. the source of Adam's body. [Arable an adjective 1. capable of producing crops; suitable for farming; suited to the plow and for tillage: arable land; arable soil. noun 2. land that can be or is cultivated ...
Could it be that the serpent was made of the same, but was more charming with the same texture of make up as Adam? Which leads me to this conclusion. Eve sinned, but Adam listened to her although, he was made out of the same ground as the serpent. which made God say to her what have you done, because she was double anointed by him to do everything he said she would do, but the caveat here is the word DESIRE.
Genesis 3:16-24
Epiphany
When I researched many other prospects, none took that part of the sentence into consideration, but instead, horn on the woman shall be ruled over by man. Which leaves me to believe that only a woman could have figured this out, or either someone chose to leave this part out purposely. The key CAVEAT is, had Eve not experience sensuality, we would not have had a desire for our partners. The last part of the verse read, "and thy desire shall be for thy husband [desire is... longing, lust, passion, craving, urge, thirst, desire, will, wish, impulse, inclination wistfulness] and he shall rule over thee. All of which, makes for a good recipe, for a great marriage. Without a woman having desire, we would not be any different from one another, but because God made her out of the living thing, she is alive, breathes life into every situation she is partaker of. The church has been compared to a woman, because it reproduces of its kind, and it is suppose to have a greater adaptivity that for all living. by Verses 22, God was disappointed as most fathers are when our children bring the keys back to us, but not the car:)) he expected more from Adam first then Eve. But, Adam did not assert his authority over his wife, because their cognitive and sensual abilities were being challenge in front of Adam's face. The change between the two of them became so obvious, their eyes were opened to their nakedness. Sort of like when girl meets boy for the first time.They did sin, but God showed mercy, and put skin on theri bodies, and sent them away from the Garden,b because they had one more tree to sample, and they would have been like God. This remind me of the city of Babylon means confusion.
I do not claim any infringement of rights to the inserted works of research.
"The leaders of this movement wanted to make sure that if God would ever become angry at them, He would never be able to sweep them away by a flood again!(4) This was a major reason for construction of this tower - pure rebellion. According to a variety of ancient texts, the people of Babel, under Cush's authority, were trying to build a structure so high they would not have to worry about any judgment God had in store for
them.
They wanted to be able to climb up to heaven, march up to God, and destroy Him with their own swords.(5) Their power, at least in their own minds, was in their own unity. Their desire was so strong that nothing, at
least in their minds, was going to stop their resolve for "freedom". It's so hard to understand why these people would deviate from God's righteous ways so quickly, but the more we understand how they lived the more it may begin to make sense.
As always, God had a perfect plan to thwart their rebellious ways:
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men buildt. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they all have one language; and this they began to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they had imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they might not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of the whole earth: and they left off to build the
city. Therefore the name of it was called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Genesis 11:5-9 (KJV)
This is as far as the Bible goes into it, but what happened around this time would set the stage for the establishment of one of the most influential establishments of power and control in history.
After God confused the languages of these people, nobody could understand anyone else around them. The construction came to a grinding halt. Cush, their former leader, was forced to give up his tower-building
project. He hung his head in disgrace. The groups of families / nations once united in this project now began to scatter abroad, according to their own languages - just as God had intended. Even though they had
separated, the people still wanted to retain their rebellious ways.
As some of these established states form into empires, the people continued the influences and knowledge they acquired from Cush and Nimrod into their own ways of life!(6) Although most people gave up on the Tower of Babel project, some continued with another endeavor: the completion of a city at the site. No
longer did they concentrate on the Tower of Babel. The city "they left off to build" (in Genesis 11:8 KJV) had a new name: Babylon".
The Caveat: God is always right. God is not a man that he should lie. God cannot introduce sin. This is the very reason that he made Satan to raise havoc (
Lord I pray that we as a people will glean the true essence of one another, and begin to demonstrate that you alone are God, and you have made each of us so unique for a greater purpose than we have been used in the past. I pray that you will take us from the bottom of the mentally board, and place us in our rightful positions, that we all will draw strength from the words that you have given each of us to say. We destroy old and and ridiculous adages and alliances that are not forth coming with your word of truth, and declare that no weapon formed against us shall prosper, and that every tongue that has risen will be disquieted against the spiritual inheritance that we have received as being the sons of the living God, because we believe. Thank you that you have in any ways cast us down, but in you divinity have made us your creations to serve in our humanity as the righteousness in Christ Jesus. Amen.
