    Gen.3. 8 "Covenant"

    "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"

    For Adam and Ev what meant by feeling naked? Shame of course.'They knew they were naked." This knowledge did not come from God but from the act of disobedience. God had said, "For in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die." The glory that covered them was the sign that the new found knowledge could not live with the presence of God. The Day that God referred was the day he had decreed for his Son and in repudiating His direct command he broke the Covenant. He walked together with God and the glory was the sign. The same question directed at the children of Israel is implicit here and it refers to the everlasting Covenant. " Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" So the cool of the day holds a special emphasis here to indicate an evening where the covenant breakers must not be allowed what privileges they enjoyed.

    From their expulsionwe have the same continuationism, 'And the evening and the morning were' leading the death of their soul.

    Now where were they in their glorious covering? The garden was in the presence of God where the firmament or the heaven was that sign that they were created after our image and after our likeness, Above the waters represented the mercy of the Father, The Garden was positioned in the mid-air so speak.

    The cherub with flaming sword kept the fallen man further east. So the garden was a microcosm of the world made to appear by the word of God. The east of Garden is the physical world where one may ask 'Where are the dinos?'. God does not forget lawbreakers so fossils keep time; so shall a leaf be a witness. Give some 60 millennia a fallen leaf is impressed on a sediment rock and the dust falling continually shall witness against their gap theory. Laws of nature is pendent to the law of the Spirit.
