Annotated Gen.4.25.26 "Another seed"

"For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed " This seed is not to clubbed with thy seed. God did not curse Adam. Instead "cursed is the ground for thy sake' explains the distinction between the first Adam and the last Adam. God set apart the first fruits, the saints redeemed from the earth, and also in order to establish the intent of His will is inviolate, they carry the name of the Father. Seth carries a name given by his mother and it is another seed thus fulfilling the word of God. "for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch." The last Adam is the lord from heaven. (Ze.3.8)

The name Eden from which the river begins is also the river of time and Jesus Christ the word become flesh offered all," If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink./ He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water./ (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)" Jn 7.37-39) What is the last Adam who is the quickening spirit. Those who believed and received them shall be added to the church of the first born. Thus without holding these two worlds of the Spirit and of the body imposter churches are sinking in their own mire.

v.26 "Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord."

So what does then' indicate? The day God decreed, "Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.' The holy Jerusalem refers to the church being prepared in heavenly places. (Heb.12. 22-23) Which are written in heaven also brings in the night vision of Daniel, "the judgment was set, and the books books were opened. (Dan.7.10)

"But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,/To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all,"

Annotated Gen.4 15-17 Seven fold

"vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold"

Significance of this preceding the mark is similar to the counsel of God, "If thou doest well."Having wasted that timely advice it is the Law of the Spirit to take over. Who was Cain? He was the double for king Ahab. " But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the Lord," ( 1 Kgs 21.25) Seeing a touch of remorse in him God tells Elijah as to what He shall do. "Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house."(vv.27-29) Seven fold refers to his progeny and we see several instances of it in the narrative. "And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment is greater than I can bear."(4.13) Cain's confession similarly was noted.

God's vengeance is how the Law of the Spirit shall execute sevenfold before the Law of Moses was given. Sevenn is a whole number. "And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,"( Lk.8.2) So seven unclean spirits sets demonic possession in terms of Cain who was under the curse. In the case of the nation of Israel the law of sin and death bears the tag of 10 the number of condemnation. "An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of the LORD for ever."(Deut.23.3)

In Gen.1.2 we have two sets where the generations under the cover where darkness rules, seven-fold is a period of remission. He may still be saved. They may be healed of their blindness and see.

And Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden.

17 And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

Annotated Gen.4.11 "Curse"

"And now art thou cursed from the earth,"

God framed the worlds by faith. Our heart is a spiritual space, framed by the word so Satan would accuse God giving Job an undue advantage. " Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?"( Job 1.10) From this blessing is the whole world where the man holds a volume and both heaven and earth meet in him. This is what the Spirit has presented from the outset. Instead, the imposter churches setting blessings with Abraham have thrown the marrow of divine Will and made his Son, more cut outs than real. After our image and after our likeness render the true Vine after our likeness' For example the sign 'Abiding in me' explain the incorruptible seed sown in the heart and branches producing fruits. This is what God provided for a believer under day Three. Darkness is absence of light. So God's curse sets Cain outside His presence. A fugitive and a vagabond.

In the world of the Spirit the serpent walked as the unclean spirit does in the Parable, "When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places,"(Mt.12.43) Similarly he led Eve to the tree beguiling her all the way. God cursed the serpent and his seed." Upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life." The ground cursed for thy sake now bring Adam's firstborn to face the consequences of his disobedience. So how shall the seed of Cain fare in their own generation. Wicked and adulterous generation in our time is same, with seven other spirits meaning the same Law of the Word applies. Either blessed or accursed. Whole or Nothing. In our time man who usurps into the high office has to bamboozle the nation. He conducts himself as a serpent groveling upon his belly. "America first" sounds great.Once he has had his wishes, his policies are, "Me first" And also behaves likewise. Boats in international waters are blasted kingdom come on doubt. Bah!

Annotated Gen.4.10-12 The voice of thy brother"

"And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground."

Jesus in his "woe to ye" discourse presented the voice of his brethren crying similarly for justice, "hat upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar./ Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation."(Mt.23.35-36). God sends Cain off knowing he belonged to to the generation of the wicked, under the cover of darkness mentioned in Gen.1.2) Abel belonged to the generation of his Son so how how do we know for certain? His faith of course. In the day of judgment. James speak of the day of slaughter,"ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter." and in the coming of the Lord faith shall call up witnesses," (Jas.5.3-8) Faith is pure language and it speaks as deep unto deep. Those who disregard the world of the Spirit and think prosperity theology shall save them are know-nothings. Their kingdom-building in the latter days a chimera. " By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh."(Heb.11.4)

Perhaps the wailing and gnashing of teeth in the outer darkness explain due justice to the wicked. " For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities./ Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double."(Rev.18.5-6)

11 And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

12 When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou be in the earth.

Saying prayers and praying .

While we might as children 'say our prayers ' it would be far better to teach our children to pray .

What is often called the Lords prayer is not something to be repeated endlessly but rather is intended as a patter of HOW to pray the order we shouid afopt in our praying "thy kingdom come thy will be done." Our aproach to God in our praying .

For one thing it is " OUR Father .." not so much my father . There is not only the wonder and pri lodge if calling God Fatyer but the Lord Himself had the same aproach and the same relationship .

There is also the thought that our praying is not all about me me me . But with the recognising of the fact we are part of the Body of Christ and weep with them who weep and rejoice with them who rejoice etc.

It couid even be argued that even as in the Old Testament on,y one person went into these most Holy place of the presence of God today only One goes in also but now it is the " that they may be one even as We are one" of John 17 .

There is the praying with the understanding ,but there is also the praying in the Spirit.?

There is the " groaning that cannot be uttered" There is the travailing in prayer ,the agonising in prayer ,the labouring as in child birth in prayer . Intercession there is " in all prayer and sup.ication."

Some have set prayers which are repeated but to what purpose?

For we are talking to the living God not one who has ears but cannot hear ,eyes but cannot see and if It is written that " Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God" we do not expect then for God to repeat himself as infinitum .Nor do we talk to people always saying the same things .

But they that oray must believe not only that God is but is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.

Someone might argue that Jesus repeated Homself in gethsemane . So He did but we do not know what else he said " with strong cries and tears" and not just in a few mins .

Annotated Gen.4.7-10 "Rule over him"

"And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him."

The Spirit spells out drkness as a dog and they seek a way to entangle the householder. A fitting commentary is on the evil spirit that gained entry in desolate places, which signify hearts. "But the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord troubled him."(1 Sam.16.14). First we shall take up the case of Cain who was driven out from the presence of God ('from thy face shall I be hid'). How it fared in the old world?

God drove out man and woman from the garden of Eden, just as his Son cleared the temple, " And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up." When challenged he gave them a sign "Jesus answered and said unto the Jews, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."( Jn 2. 17,19,21) It is thus God has made the heart 'after our likeness' so what does the risen Christ at the door indicate?The risen Christ supping with a believer that the temple which is his body shall be raised up. Three is a tag for the Son. Consequently there is no place for other things in your heart than the zeal for your house which is mount Sion, 'and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem' which is above.

We have come "And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel"(Heb.12.23-24) As we are in Christ, a new creation the everlasting covenant is also new. The perfect will of the Father is unchanged.

God counsels Cain but to no avail. Having slain he is sent away. In the manner the old world was repe for destruction we may well remeber the parable of the unclean spirit Mt.12.43-45 "Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation

We have often a careless aproach to the scriptures and are loose with them when we speak .

One of which is ' we are all made in Gods image' . Er no or rather it's a mix of truth with error .

Now yiu can mix a donkey with a horse and get a mule but a mule has no life in it to reproduce itself and if yiu want another mule you need another horse and donkey .

So likewise if we mix truth with error . We will get ' something' but it has no life in it to reproduce itself .

Man was created in the image of God but not ALL men . For while Adam was created in the image of God ALL are BORN in the image of Adam " shapen in iniquity"

Which is why we " Must be born again" not of corruptible seed" which is of the first Adam but of the incorriotable seed which is of the last Adam .

For the law of God states that " every seed brings forth fruit after its own kind" .

Thus a corruptible seed by that law can only bring forth corruption unto death . But glory to God that law also applies to the incorriotable seed which will bring forth righteousness unto life.

Jesus speaking of Himself said " Unless a seed of wheat fall into the ground and die it abudeth alone but if it does it brings forth much fruit" what sort of fruit? After its own kind .

When my son was born I saw my image in him. He bore my image because he came from me I was his father. If I had not been his Fatyer hecwouid not have born my image but the image of his true father and I wouid have rejected him as my son.

If a man stands before God then finds himself in hell . It will not be because they have sinned so much ( for all have sinned) but because the image if God was not found in him .

For all thrur luves they said in their heart " No God" and rejected Jesus Christ who was and is "the express image of the invisible God" .

As a seven day adventist. I now live in foreign country. I've met a new church community here. There go to Church on Sunday. Not a Catholic church. I continue to struggle going to church on Sunday instead of Saturday. What does the bible verse really mean about Mark 2:27. The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath? What does that really mean?

Annotated Gen.4.5-7

But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

Respect is in the sense Abel feared what the aprons of his parents signified. Without shedding of blood, is no remission. These were family heirloom and Cain did not give a second glance to what was about the family heart over so long.

v.6 "And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen? If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?"

Abel chose the best of his flock and he put his heart and soul into it." Love your God with all your heart," is different than Sunday Christians. What Jesus referred to Mary we shall apply here. "But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."(Lk.10.42) Faith makes all the difference. Those hypocrites who quote Luther trivialise faith and there is only one touchstone: whole or nothing. The Spirit sets him as a hero of faith. By faith "by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh."(Heb.11.4)

"And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him." Here we have the heart a spiritual space same as what Adam and Eve lived but set in the world of the Spirit. They were framed by the word of God as our hearts serve as a microcosm we carry about in our everyday lives. We see risen Christ standing at the door. (Rev.3.20) Here we have a warning and it underscores what a blessed child shall do, (Ps,1,1-3) and "For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."(Rev.22.15)

Annotated Gen.3:22 "One of us"

" 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 take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever"

This is still in the world framed by the word, Behold' refers to the Covenant which is solemnised by the Law, the Word. When the eyes of Adam and Eve were opened, the breath of life would not remain in the world where sin operated. Their carnal wisdom on the driver's seat eye of faith was closed. By the same token with the emergence of the earthy, first Adam belonged to the ground from which he was taken. In the day ye eatest thereof, 'thou shalt surely die.' was left to the last Adam. The day decreed was exclusively reserved for his Son.(2.17). This is evident from the birth of Seth, " and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth."(5.3) Adam was created, 'in the likeness of God made he him.'

What changed here? He knew still good and evil but lost the glory of God to test the quality of either. Without faith itis impossible to please God. "And now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever"was giving Satan an undue advantage.

v.23 "Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken" Tilling the ground refers to the ground cursed for his sake."In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread" and here is a vital piece of Adam who was still created after our likenss" so Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee," did not simply mean plant life. Heresies after the principle of Similitude rendered curse of the ground evocative in spiritual terms. Eating bread by sweat of brow did not prevent him from partaking the bread from heaven. Eating herbs showed his glory was as transient as grass." For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth,"(1 Pet.1.24-25

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. ( 1 Tim. 2:12).

But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. ( 1 Cor. 11:5).

A Woman's role in church

I am in the midst of struggling to find the correct application of what on the surface may seem contradictory teaching in regard to women in the church. Corinthians repeats the command from Timothy for women to remain silent; with further admonition to ask questions to their husbands at home. ( 1 Cor. 14:35).

This is a particularly poignant situation for me because someone I have been following on social media says she feels convicted about expounding on scriptures related to aberrant teachings in the pulpits and across America and is henceforth going to curb certain things. Of course this site also has women who have contributed greatly to discussions; and I know someone who has a book on Revelation that simply outshines anyone else's interpretations in regard to linking cross references and overall knowledge on the subject. Should this keep women with great intellect from discussing or quoting verses which simply reflect the truth of scripture more or less?

I have to head to work now. I wanted to leave this short commentary; and hope that we all think carefully on the subject. I will do my best to come up with answers as I continue to wrestle proper meanings here through other scriptures but admittedly this takes some wrestling to determine what makes sense here. I think a lynchpin to further unlock meaning here is what exactly is usurping authority and what are the parameters that divide mere discussion or even analysis on a subject and teaching the assembly as an elder or Pastor and the specific spiritual gifting in regard to God given authority?

In general; let's see men stand up to the roles they should undertake that have been delegated to women.

Annotated Gen.3.20 "Mother of all living"

"And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living."

Adam names Eve and the Spirit annotates by this phrase, the mother of all." In order to instructs its spiritual significance we need follow his lead; Enmity between thy seed and of the serpent has one womb: Eve the mother of all living. "between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed."(v.15)

The Vision of the Woman Clothed with the Sun (Rev.ch.12) refers to Eve. We see the red dragon, and one third of the stars from the innumerable company of angels cast out inform us where all heresies come from. "And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born"(12.4) As soon as man child is caught up what is left of her seed still has a place of refuge but not in the same place. Both are wilderness or a dry place. The rebellious dwell in a dry land. The curse on the serpent (3.14) and of the ground (for thy sake) sets the stage where tribulation, which is qualified as great and it is what curse entail and resolve as God has willed.

Meanwhile where is the man child? This is a place the risen Christ has promised the little ones The church of the firstborn.

"Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish." (Mt.18.14)

While we are here groaning for our relief (our inner man is a sign) that we are also represented by the same token so as Jesus says,"That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."(18.10) How well do we care for the redemption of our souls? In the Parable of the Sheep and Goats we read thus " Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."(Mt.25.40) Daughters of Eve "shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety."(1 Tim.2.15)

Annotated Gen.3.16 "Rule over thee"

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

Here we have the will of God concerning Eve. It is not Adam but the crucial role Eve shall play oncerning 'thy seed'. In his Will Adam is the double or stand in for Jesus Christ. So the last Adam is unchanged. He curses the ground and not Adam as set down in his Will. Not so with Eve who was beguiled. Adam naming her the mother of all living is to be spiritually understood. It is the same what the angel of the Lord shall insist on Samson's mother. " And the angel of the Lord said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware." Before vanishing he repeats, "all that I commanded her let her observe."( Judges 13.13-14)

Having said this what does God mean by "And he shall rule over thee'? It is of his Son whom he has set as a sign 'two great lights' where thelesser light is to rule over the night. In the Covenant the Law stipulated What were the two lights for. "And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good./ And the evening and the morning were the fourth day."(i.18-19) Four is the tag for the Word become flesh. Jesus Christ as the true Light declared, "I am the light of this world' which 'thy seed' were to observe every one in their own generation. It was the duty of the mother and Eve as the mother was to observe. This divine Will never changes. In the Will of God the lesser light shall rule over the disobedient and judge them accordingly. In the will of the Father the role of Eve was as one fashioned out of the rib of the man. As such " and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee," established the body of Christ.

In accordance with the Covenant the great congregation was set in heaven as witnesses.(Ps.40.10) This is never broken.

Is there a controversary over the term "morning star" that would somehow lead people to think Jesus and Satan are kin?

Annotated Gen.3.15 Bruise thy head

"and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life."

The many generations which have made the world show progress as a blessing, a dubious one at that. nations emerging from the great flood were busy making tower reaching unto the heavens and let us make us a name," did not achieve either. in fact we are feeding on microplastics than dust. Jesus called the children of disobedience, the adulterous and the generation of vipers. Do we need any more evidence that we face at every part of the globe? When the seraphim continuously worship God, holy holy holy the cry is this mud hole is, drill, drill, drill. The enmity between light and darkness shall onnly grow worse. "For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee."(Isa.60.2)

"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

Bruise thy head shows progress of man has been over the ruins of his own handiwork. Bronze age was a marvel but now they are museum pieces. Think of the Age of internet! Information within the reach of everyone? Only problem is man cannot what is true or false and his mind is muddled to rely on his AI chatbots for a bit of intimacy. " For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them./ For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:/Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened."(Rom.1.18-21

Annotated Gen.3.9-13

" And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."

God asks a direct question and Eve prevaricate. Unlike the Son in the Parable of the Prodigal Son who confessed which is the classic example of reconciliation for one who squandered his life away. " I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,/ And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants."

The Son stung by his folly calmly sits down and recalls his past and collects his mind. He judged himself and presents before his father whose mercy illustrates our Father which art in heaven. "And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him./And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son."(Lk.15.18-21)

In this passage Eve and Adam are blaming each other. Sin always leave a messy trail.

The Law set the Covenant and framed a world as distinct from the land of shadows, under the cover of darkness. God set a simple House Rule that man and woman could not keep. Blessing of obedience,- and it was offered in his own Son had no takers.

"What is this that thou hast done?" Heavenly blessings on man and woman we may count for them. There was holy communion between God and man. Faith is the pure speech and in the manner Eve avoided answering a direct question from God tells us a curtain had fallen from them. Outward symptom was in their shame. "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."( 1 Jn 4.18) Pure Language existed between the Father and the Son. Man sinned and came shoort of the glory. Man was created 'in our likeness' and sin damaged it.

Objective truth vs world religion

If we strip the veil from this subject; we end up with either worship of God or the Devil. What is less obvious except to the elect is how the lies of all cults and false religions all use either direct scriptural truth or moral realities from scriptural concepts to bolster a methodology of servitude to given doctrines which lead us to our own demise.

This situation allows for a Christ according to one's own imagination; and effectively robs Him of supernatural saving grace. Plenty of emphasis can be on living according to a sort of moral standard; but as there is no focus on the sin nature and the underlying issue facing all mankind under God's wrath; then no need is seen for a Savior to take God's wrath in our place.

Isaiah 8:12 states Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. The other translations seem to make the point clearer and use the word "conspiracy"; so that we aren't to be obsessed in every conspiracy theory on the internet. Many try to use these things to ignore their own doctrinal error and need for a Savior; and even true believers need to be balanced to get accurate information and not spend an inordinate amount of time looking for dirt in a world whose inhabitants always have something bad we can discover; real or imagined on their profile.

Micah 6:8 states He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

In sharing the scriptural truth in love we must say things that natural man finds offensive to reach lost souls. Our hearts being a reflection or "display" of His Spirit should show love; and humility as we all came from the same cesspool of lies and deception.

We need in today's ecumenical church culture to remain separate from false gods but also to show compassion toward our enemies through His love.

Annotated Gen.3.8-9

" And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

The days in the covenant carry this expression, "And the evening and the morning were..." Sx times the litany is exhorting those who joined into the Fellowship of God with Man of the day that shall never end. " And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there."(Rev.21.25) This Covenant is our precous faith can take wings as we are sojourners and pilgrims. "Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage."(Ps.119.54) In the cool of the day, God is in our midst and it is our holy communion. We are under the shadow of the most High.(Ps.91.1) For the young Samuel it was the beginning where God took over his upbringing. " And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth./And the Lord said to Samuel, Behold, I will do a thing "(1 Sam.3.10-11) 'The Spirit with the expression 'As at other times' instructs us how God would have walked with Enoch, Abraham and the Shepherd-king of Israel especially. He preached to the great congregation comprising of the sanctified ones, (Rev.5.11-13) "And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands." (5.11) What is their theme? Holy,Holy Holy. Adam and Eve basked in this cool of the day until sin entered. Their shame was in their knowledge. "They were naked"

v.9 "And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?"

Perfect love is the pure language while faith is the pure speech. "For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent."(Zeph.3.9). Fear is a red flag

Annotated Gen. 3.7 Knowledge

and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

Adam and Eve knew some things they never had dreamed possible. But having lost their vision which comes from God their problem was to solve it according to the level of knowledge which they could access. An apron of fig leaves was their cover. Recently was the news of a mother in the US, Megan Garcia, filed a lawsuit against the company Character.AI alleging that interactions between her 14-year-old son and an AI chatbot contributed to his suicide. This Character.AI chatbot based on a fictional character from Game of Thrones drove him to believe in a lie. This lie is same as darkness is the absence of light. Truth has suffered not an iota since the kingdom of God is based on 'Thy word is truth'. Bur sons of Adam from generations to generations has fared word. The Law of the Spirit inserted the warning in Gen.1.2 Darkness was upon the face of the deep. What does the term the deep signify? The same as the deep sleep referred to the death of the Son in a far country. Adam and Ever were in a garden framed by the word of God. As mentioned in an earlier post, the garden of Eden was a microcosm of the word apart from the natural world.

"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God." (Heb.11.3) Adam and Eve ate of the fruit of the tree which God had commanded them not to eat. Without faith what was their DNA? they were under the cover of darkness and it is another reference to the covering cherub who was perfect. " Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."(Ezek.28.15) The same could be applied to Adam and Eve. Without the world of the Spirit the worship of the imposter church is run on carnal wisdom so churches are based on corporate models and protocols. Where are the true worshippers or the fruits of the Spirit?

What chapter in the bible talks about how time with the Lord is a thousand years as a day and a day as a thousand years?

Annotated Gen 3.6-6 "Naked and blind"

"She took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

Man and woman were one flesh Is it not? But nakedness stamped her body of the ground from which her husband was taken. Meanwhile the rib stamped glory was her covering. Only faith held these two worlds as one. Adam was not beguiled but the woman was. His fault was to disobey a direct command from God. Our love of God must be total.

St Paul asks," Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" He adds, "Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."(Rom.8.35-39

Heb.1.6 God's command 'worship ye him' to the angels set the context for worship which is in truth and spirit.(Jn.4.23-24)

Rev.5. 11-13 In the vision of John we have the true worshippers and it is in spirit. In the vision of Isaiah also we see seraphim,"And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory." (Isa.6.3; Job 38.7) This glory was acknowledged by"When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?" We also have a part when do all things for his glory. "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;"(Eph.5.19) our inner man is refreshed by our worship. It is our reasonable service. By sin we see Adam blaming Eve and with such contrariness what worship shall they conduct?

"And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons." Their eyes were opened to their shame and their knowledge of good and evil went only to cover their nakedness. Their eye of faith went shut! "and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked"(Rev.3.17)

The same blindness, so many sects making up their own worship.

Annotated Gen.3.6 "The tree"

that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat."

Here we are recalling the goodness of God in 2.9. "And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food." Every tree including the tree of life and the knowledge of the good and evil. The Spirit gave us from the POV of God, the Father. What did change then? Here Eve is viewing the fruit from the POV of the serpent or darkness. The moment she did eat and gave some of it to Adam to do likewise she was doing the bidding of the serpent. Faith fled and knowledge kicked in.

Out went faith and came in the knowledge that she sinned. It is for this reason we have the Spirit remind us of the blessings enshrined in the Covenant . All things in heaven including the trees, "the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good." was assured under the day Three, "And the evening and the morning were the third day" Adam and Eve were blessed in the Son. Blessings with regards to trees wherever mentioned in the Scripture is within the frame of reference to 1.12 and in his Son. So this verse Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,"refers to the tree of righteousness.(Ps.1.1,3)

Eve here walked the length of the garden under the counsel of the serpent. But without faith her postion in the garden was untenable.

God walking 'in the cool of the day' (3.8) or evening must be seen in the proper context. God celebrated the beginning of things, so we have the Spirit repeating 'And evening and morning were....'God presided over the Holy communion of God and man in a figurative sense. This we evoke here on earth,"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."(Mt.18.20) What shall you call megachurches? Your guess is as good as mine.

Annotated Gen.3.4-5

"and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil." Now we come where the devil has set the trap. Knowing good and evil is not with your understanding which false brethren here has spilled each sect according to its pet shibboleths. Seven dispensensations are they entities by themselves? knowing good and evil without being connected to truth eternal is similar to the idea of church. Jesus was clear that church without holding on to the head was like dead branches. " If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned."( Jn 15.6) Mind you, the wording, 'If a man abides not in me'. As with Adam and Eve they were to hold where their full blown glory came from. They were naked by themselves but gods when their faith was in God whose breath of life was their lifeline. Serpent set the context for them to be enlightened on the subject. In following the line of reasoning what they did was to hitch themselves to another gospel.

Adam and Eve had two worlds to negotiate: the garden framed by the word of God and world of the spirit, the glory of their covering created 'after our likeness' He was the son of God ( Lk 3.38) and also as a double for the Son, " in the likeness of God made he him." Similarly the everlasting covenant sets a believer walk the world of the Spirit and world of the church of the firstborn which is in heaven. "But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,' (Heb.12.22)Faith means we are congregants while we walk by faith among the unbelievers. When we are called home our faith suffers no injury but worship with glorified spiritual body. Seven angels to the seven churches gives us the key: " He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; " faith of believers is all that matters. Names found in Asia Minor are mere labels.

Annotated Gen.ch.3

v.1 " Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"

Presenting the first begotten to the angels was as though war declared on darkness. Adam clothed in glory shall come across the devil who sins from the beginning. One flesh and one bone made Adam an extension of the Father Son relationship transposed into human terms. As Jesus in his humanity would say, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." (Mt.8.20) Jesus was not ashamed of his poverty who was rich in his access to his Father. Similarly "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.(2.25). Jesus of whom John testifies,"And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man."( Jn 2.25) Equally vital was that he was aware that his glory as was in the bosom of his Father was in His safekeeping. From the colloquy that follows here warns us the danger of forgetting what we are really. Our conversation among Tom Dick and Harry cannot be avoided but we are not of them. "For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come."(Heb.13.14)

The drift of the serpent was ominous. "Ye shall not surely die:For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods" (3.4-5) Had Eve a clear understanding what the serpent said was a lie it would have been another story, Creating a context with darkness is a slippery slope to perdition. The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. We do not see the same where darkness was upon the face of the deep. Hence the warning, "And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" 2 Cor.6.15) Bh of imposter churches seem to have license to trivialise and they call it activism.

Annoyated Gen.ch.2

v.21 "And the Lord God 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;"

Deep sleep refers to the death of his Son. The term 'deep' is same as a far country.in the Parable. The certain householder "And went into a far country:"(Mt.21.33) The entire episode of Adam is set in heavenly places and the far country refers to the world, "And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness."( 1 Jn 5.19)

v.22 "And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man." The rib is the doctrine of God and when the Word became flesh it is the gospel unto salvation. Thus where does Eve stand? She is in a world framed by the word of God. Here faith is the only lingua franca. The world is a far country but we live in heavenly places by faith. We walk among the ungodly " For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come." (Heb.13.14)

" v.23 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."Adam names the woman. Notice 'therefore' and his claim is similar to the blood of Christ with which he purchased us unto his own. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (v.24)

One flesh refers to the work of the Spirit. " Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace./There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;/One Lord, one faith, one baptism,/One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all."(Eph.4.3-6)

In Hebr 10:5-7 Paul is describing Jesus saying,

"5... Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God."

The above verse is taken from Psalm 40. But if we read Psalm 40, it says,

"6Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required. 7Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,"

We see that the verse in Psalms is not the exactly the same as the one in Hebrews. In Hebrews it says "but a body hast thou prepared " whereas in Psalms it says " mine ears hast thou opened"

Why is this?

Because Paul records the verse from the Septuagint ( psalm 39 in Sept.), not the Masoretic text.

GBU all.

Annotated Gen.2.21

" And the Lord God 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;

God is the God of the living so God identifies Adam as the 'express image of his person' causing him to sleep.

Why a deep sleep? The sleep identifies by his Son whose death on the cross has the emblem in the divine Will as 'the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.' (Rev.13.8) Deep merely refers to what occurs in another world which framed by the word of God.We shall consider another example from his Son." My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence."( Jn 18.36) Jesus is in the now meaning he is the word become flesh. This world is the natral world where laws of nature do apply and the darkness surrounding the people (the Jews) shall not comprehend the true light he represents.One argument recently heard was,'Christian nationalism purports to be God's instrument for the installation of Christ's Kingdom & His Holy requirements,' the churches so far were applying doctrines of man on the wrong world.' Jesus would not let the disbelieving throng when he healed the daughter of Jairus. "Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth./And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out,"( Mk 5.39-40)

Waking out of his sleep we see faith so understands the will concerning the woman came from Him. The Word transference works well with faith.

Significance of the rib has bearing on the open valley in the vision of Ezekiel. ch.37 The dry bones belonged to the slain from the nation of Israel and they become an exceeding great army. Open valley suggests those who "And ye shall know that I am the Lord" "And my servant David shall be their prince for ever."(37. 13,25)

Annotated Gen.ch.2.18 "Good:

" And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."

God separated darkness from light." (He) saw the light, that it was good. What he had decreed for His Son was nothing but good. It is how God determined the volume of every believer called to partaker of the kingdom of light.All heavenly blessing covered four days. Before He created man he saw to the world that went onto make up his volume. As first born of all creation what was he?

Ps.8.4-9) "And the son of man, that thou visitest him?/For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour./Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:/ All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;/The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, .,,, O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

As a steward Adam carried a name since god sanctified him when he called him Adam.(5.2)

The Covenant everlasting in seven days was about man 'in our image and after our likeness'. The quality of the day same and what does Jesus Christ in his glory signify? He obtained a name far more excellent over everything so named, "and given him a name which is above every name:/ That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;/And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God,.."Phi.2.9-11)

This being the case the matter of helpmeet demonstrated the love of the Father now extended to Adam whom He created. "In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;/Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."(5.1-2)

"I will make him an helpmeet for him' The Same Father Son relationship as in Ge.1.1 we find here: Adam will him a body and in him it shall be fulfilled
