"But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground."
This mist went up from the earth. From the context we have rain from above,"for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground."These two are set in context of the man. Jesus Christ is what intended here."And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."(Col.1.17) Adam who is created 'after our image and after our likeness' is given a clear basis to this antecedents. He is a living soul because God did breathe in his nostrils instilling divine impulses. With regards to the body the Son could declare, "But a body hast thou me prepared.'(Heb.10.5) Adam was a double but he did not express what the Son understood as doing the will of his Father.On the other end he was formed of the dust of the ground which connected him to the Son who shall llay three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Be that as it may the same two faces of heaven and the earth were met in both. For this reason it serves as where the garden was laid out.God garnished the heavens by his breath and also the depths. "Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?"( Job 38.28)
In this connection we have angel's food which fedt the people in the wilderness.Wilderness is a synonym for fallen nature of man. God not only clothed Adam and Eve with coats of skins, he fed them. His mercy is a divine facet of holiness. Israelites could not appreciate it because they were reprobate concerning faith, "And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. "(Exod.16.14-15)
