Yes, The whole Word of God is a PROPHECY of the Kingdom of GOD, including the book of Genesis; as you have said.
Genesis 1:26-27
27 So GOD created man in His own image, in the image of GOD created He him; male and female created He them.
28 And GOD blessed them, and GOD said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it
To frutify, and multiply, and to replenish th earth, GOD created the woman, by allegory the true Church of the Lord.
GOD sent JESUS and JESUS came in the fourth Day-the Greater Light- around 4000 yers after Adam- John 5:17. Around 27/30AD, i.e. in the beginning of the fifth Day, around 2000 years ago, JESUS said to the Jews: John 2:19 and 21: ->19 Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
21 But he spake of the temple of His body. (what our Lord JESUS said and revealed, physically He would resurrect in the third day (a day of 24 hours, of course); but spiritually, our Lord was speaking of his body the Church, it will rise up now in the 3rd Day, a Day of 1000 years, after have bear fruit, multiplied itself for 2000 years, and will replenish the earth with the resurrection of multitudes according 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17:
15 For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel(Michael- Daniel 12:1-3), and with the trump of GOD: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (the resurrection of the believers in Christ JESUS)
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the cloud(the same cloud in Acts 1:9-11,take a look), to meet the Lord in the air(on high, the 3rd heaven- Micah 4:1-8 combined with 2Corinthians 12:2-4 and Luke 20:35-36, among other biblical references, and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Yes, Notwithstanding SHE (Eve, Christ's wife), by allegory, the Church of the Lord JESUS, shall BE SAVED in child bearing..... generating children for the Kingdom of GOD, through the preaching of the Gospel of Christ, the Gospel of GOD's Kingdom. This has already lasted around 2000 years or two GOD's Day: Hebrews 1:1-3
1 GOD, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days (last two GOD's Days-from the beginning of the fifth Day unto the END of the sixth Day)spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of His glory, and the EXPRESS IMAGE(image by written) His Person(Person of GOD), and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
It's wonderful, what GOD really has revelead unto His people( Ephesians 1:3-8) makes us to fly high toward the third heaven ( Luke 20:35-36 combined with Revelation 4:1), the OT and NT are like two mighty wings to catch us and carry us to the third heaven- Luke 20:35-36 combined with John 14:3 and 17:24, and 2Corinthians 12:2-4, among many other biblical references, take a look. It's Wonderful, Indescribable, Unspeakable, ineffable. Hallelujaaaah!!!
Hello Cheryl1655. The best way to understand these two chapters in Genesis, is that chapter 1 is a declaration of God's Work in creation on each of the six days. When we get to chapter 2, we read of the seventh day, when God's Work had finished on the sixth, and that God rested (or, ceased from all His Work - not that He was exhausted). Then Genesis 2:4 gives us the answer to your question: "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created...". So from this point, we are told what God had done in a general way, and now more specifically - with greater detail about His Creation - the focus on man.
So, as God created plants, He then sent out a mist initially to water them ( Genesis 2:6). He then shows us how He created man first & then woman, those mentioned in Genesis 1:26,27; His detail of them also seen in Genesis 2:7-22 - and that man (Adam) would tend to those plants ( Genesis 2:15) until the woman (Eve) came from his body, to be his companion & help in life. So these accounts in these first two chapters of Genesis, don't show us two separate creations of human beings, but the one creation, where more detail is given of God's creative Work in creating the first two people on Earth.
Some say this is two different versions of creation. I would think that it implies when man was created there was something of man and woman in the soul of Adam. Thus the rib was taken out of Adam but also to have a companion it would be something close to his heart I would expect. That would also explain how spiritually man and woman were of the image of God but physically Eve was taken out of man rather than being created from the dust of the earth. Thus all are in Christ; male; female; Jew and Gentile ( Colossians 3:11). This type of unity is in the Holy Spirit of Christ.
This would also explain why God instituted marriage; if it was merely a physical thing ( 1 Cor. 6:16-18) it wouldn't matter if one was married or not; but it also involves two souls that are only legitimately married when God joins them together. This is a deep matter but I consider it important also because it explains why same sex relations also is more than just a physical thing. When two individuals have a selfish ambition than the enemy is able to do great damage to their souls. God designed the body and soul of man and woman to function as a whole; as a unit which of course doesn't work with two men or two women.
Some theologians disagree with my viewpoint; so if it is confusing I won't press the issue. There are admittedly some other parts of Genesis that seem to repeat the same narrative describing perhaps focusing on different aspects. Won't get into that now.
