Genesis
Chapter
3
1~~Now
the serpent was more 'cunningly evil'/crafty
than
any lower creatures of the field
which
Jehovah/God Elohiym/Godhead
had
manufactured {'asah - make something from something}.
So,
he {Satan through the serpent}
said
to the woman,
"'Have
you heard??'/'Is it really true??' . . .
that
Elohiym/Godhead has said,
'You
shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?
{implying unfairness of God}"
{Note:
One principal from this verse is 'the greatest terror against bible
doctrine is CONVERSATION'. Do not let anyone mislead you!
Also
note that Satan does not call God 'Jehovah'! He recognizes the
Supreme Being, but denies the relationship that comes with
recognizing the Savior - Jesus Christ.}
{Woman's
Vulnerability in Satan's Distortion - First Woman's Sexual
Revolution Begins - Rejecting Authority of God and Her Right Man}
2-3~~And
the woman replied to the serpent,
"From
the fruit of the trees of the garden
we
may eat." 3~~
"But
from the fruit of the tree
which
is in the middle of the garden,
Elohiym/Godhead
has said {allegedly},
'You
shall not eat from it,
neither
shall you touch it {mistake!},
lest
you die.'"
{Note: The woman misquoted God's instructions - God did not say not to 'touch' the fruit . . . only not to eat it. She is not 'sharp' in her soul. Maybe she was negative to the word or lack of concentration on the teaching. The danger was in negative volition in the soul not in contact with the tree. And, under the influence of Satan, now she called 'Jehovah Elohiym' just Elohiym . . .}
4~~And
the serpent {while possessed by Satan}
said
unto the woman, "Emphatically! You will NOT die."
{Note:
Satan through the instrumentality of the possessed serpent,
is
denying a relationship between sin and 'dying'.. The woman is
thinking physical death (which she only knows from doctrine taught to
her), but the true meaning of spiritual death is too close for Satan
so he lies to her here! In Rev 12:9, Satan is called 'the serpent'.}
{Satan
Appealing to the Woman's Pride - Desire to be 'God-like'}
5~~
"For Elohiym/God keeps on knowing
that
in the day you eat from it,
THEN
{the moment God supposedly fears!}
your
eyes shall be opened,
and
you shall become like the Elohiym/Godhead . . .
knowing
good and evil."
{Note: Satan tells her God is trembling in heaven for fear that she might become as smart as He is. What a lie that one is! And, desire for 'Equality' is Satan's own lie. No two men are exactly 'equal'. The closest we come is at each person's point of salvation. At that one point, we have equal opportunity to take in the Word and GROW spiritually. But, then again based on your level of positive volition, we will become unequal again.}
{The
Fall of the Woman and then the Fall of the Man}
6~~
And when the woman {Ishah}
saw
that the tree was good for food,
and
that it was object of desire to the eyes . . .
and
the tree being desirable
-
that caused one to be knowing -
she
took {an act of volition}
of
the fruit thereof,
and
kept on eating {sin of ignorance, but guilty anyway}.
Then
she gave also to her man with her . . .
and
he kept eating also {Adam's sin of cognizance}.
{Note: In order to sin, the woman turned her back on a perfect deal. Best of soul rapport, physical stimulation, foods, only pleasure, and spiritual teaching directly from Jesus Christ. Yet now she rejects all - wanting to be as smart as God. So, her sin was a sin because it was an act of her volition . . . but it was an 'unknown sin' coming from Satan's deception (see I Timothy 2:14). No excuse. But ignorance is NO EXCUSE, it was still a sin.}
{Note: Secondly, Adam KNEW it was a sin to eat of the fruit and that Ishah had sinned. He knew, Ishah was going to have to leave the garden and Adam chose being with His right woman over being with His right God - Jesus Christ. Adam's sin was a sin of cognizance and became the 'sin of the father' that is still today passed from the father to the child in child birth. Therefore every child is born spiritual dead and condemned - except for Jesus Christ because of the virgin birth - also explaining the need for the virgin birth!}
{Spiritual
Death and First Human Case of Evil/Legalism}
7~~And
the 'eyes' of them both were opened {eyes of the soul},
and
they knew that they were naked
{plural - both knew both were naked}
and
they sewed fig leaves together, and manufactured {'asah}
for
themselves 'loin coverings'/aprons.
{Note: They are now aware of the knowledge of good and evil. Cognizance of sin distorted them into going into legalism. The first act of legalism was to try and get right again WITH EACH OTHER - forget GOD! Today this translates into 'forget God, love each other, and all will be right in the world' and that is just another of Satan's deceptions. God must always come FIRST!}
{Evidence
of Spiritual Death}
8~~
And it came to their ears
the
voice of the Jehovah/God Elohiym/Godhead
walking
around in the garden {looking for them}
in
the spiritual time of the day {the time for doctrinal teaching}.
Consequently
the man {adam} and the woman {Ishah}
hid
themselves from the presence
of
the Jehovah/God Elohiym/Godhead
in
the middle of one tree of the garden.
{Note: This verse demonstrates the inadequacy of human 'works'. They hid from God even though 'operation fig leaf' was a success! }
9~~
And theJehovah/God Elohiym/Godhead
kept
on calling to the man {adam},
and
said unto him, "Why are you . . . where you are?"
{Preliminary
Hearing}
10~~And
he {Adam} said,
"I
heard your voice in the garden {calling him to bible class},
and
I kept on being afraid {spiritually dead so no desire for doctrine};
because
I was naked {`eyrom} . . . and I hid myself."
{Note: In Hebrew only one dot in syntax is the difference between 'crafty'( 'aruwm) of the serpent and naked (`eyrom) here. The words are syntactically related.}
11~~And
He {Jesus} said,
"Who
denounced you - that you were naked?
{who caused you to think in those terms}
From
the tree that I commanded that
you
eat nothing from it, have you eaten?"
{Note: The Hebrew text indicates that Satan gets them to sin and then denounces them as BEING naked! Only the syntax brings this out. This points out that now Satan is the new ruler of the Earth. And, the first thing he does is denounce them as naked! Legalism!}
{Adam
as Ruler is Responsible - But Operation Patsy}
12~~And
the man {adam} said, "The woman {Ishah}
whom
You gave to be with me {accusing God!},
she
has given me of the tree, and I have eaten."
{Ishah's
Trial}
13~~Then
the Jehovah/God Elohiym/Godhead
said
{interrogated} the woman {Ishah},
"What
is this that you have done/manufactured {'asah}?
And
the woman said,
"The
serpent deceived/'mentally seduced' me {blame someone else},
and
I have eaten."
{Note: 'asah means to manufacture something from something else. Here, from her 'pride', the woman manufactured sin (disobeying God). Pride is a sin that never stands alone. From her pride she manufactured the sin - eating the forbidden fruit. She does her bit and blames someone else. Right or wrong, this is wrong!}
{Verses
14-15: Judgment Against Serpent/Satan}
14~~
And the Jehovah/God Elohiym/Godhead
said
to the serpent,
"Because
you have done/manufactured {'asah} this,
you
are being cursed more than all domestic animals
and
more than every wild animal of the jungle . . . upon your belly
you
shall march/move {any hands and legs disappeared},
and
dust shall you eat all the days of your life {sign of degradation}.
{Note: Before this judgment, RBT says the serpent was a household pet and stood upright - how many legs we do not know. Once the serpent is involved in the sin, herpetology is a new class of animal that crawls on its belly. And, in other lessons, RBT says the serpent may have been a creature of light and was very beautiful.}
{First
Salvation Promise in the Scriptures; And War is Declared}
15~~And
I will place/put hostility
between
you {serpent} and the woman {Ishah} . . .
between
your {serpent/Satan} seed
and
her seed {women/Jesus Christ} . . .
he
{her seed/Jesus Christ}
shall
crush/bruise your 'head'/head-ship {ruler-ship} . . .
but
you {serpent/Satan}
shall
crush/bruise His {seed/Jesus Christ} heel.
{Note:
This is the Promise of God to Satan that He would bring a human - a
seed of woman to defeat him - operation footstool. Therefore in
Genesis 6, Satan tries to destroy all 'pure humanity'.
At
the fall, Satan becomes the ruler of the earth. Jesus Christ is the
victor of the angelic conflict and at the 2nd Advent will take over
the ruler-ship of the earth from Satan. The 'bruising the heel' of
Jesus refers to the 1st Advent of Christ and His suffering on the cross.}
{Verses
16: Judgment of the Woman}
16~~To
the woman {ishshah - the woman and all who follow her}
He
{Jesus} said, "Multiplying, I will cause the multiplication
of
your pain in your pregnancy {during entire 9 months}.
In
sorrow you shall bear sons/children
{painful delivery is true, but this means your happiness
should NOT be tied up in your children}.
And
your intense craving/desire {t@shuwqah}
shall
be to your man {'iysh},
therefore,
he 'will rule'/'have dominion'/'have leadership' {mashal}
over
you."
{Note: The woman was so stimulated that she broke the power of authority that the man had over her life. A woman will never love a man unless she respects him. (SideNote: A woman will never find her right PT unless she also respects him). In the Spiritual Dynamics series, RBT says this is 'antithetical parallelism'. This means that the phrase "yet for the husband your desire "-is not referring to a desire for sex, but the desire to rule over her husband. Therefore, there are two antithetical lines of authority opposed to each other. The woman has lusted all through history to usurp the authority of the man ("yet he shall rule over you"). Part of true love is the recognition of authority. But the woman, who lusts to take over control, destroys the relationship. On the other hand, when Adam allowed himself to be lead to eat of the fruit, he lost control of the woman. No woman can be a magnificent lady until she understands authority and respects it (SideNote: No man can be a leader until he first learns to respect authority).}
{Verses
17-19: Judgment of the Man}
17~~To
man {'adam}
He
{God/Jesus} said/'pronounced judgment',
"Because
you have listened
to
the voice of your woman {'Ishah},
and
you have eaten of the tree
of
which I commanded you {over and over} saying,
'You
will not eat of it . . .' {judgment for disobedience}
the
nature/earth/ground keeps on being cursed
{man must now farm to live and learn to survive wild animals now}
because
of YOU!
{man was their ruler so in man's fall the animals also suffer}
In
sorrow, you will eat {of it} all the days of your life."
{Note: After the fall, man now had to 'cut up' both the ground (till the soil) and the animals (kill) for food now. And, another judgment is death. First spiritual death at the point of the sin, and then later physical death - 'his days will have an end.' And, another point . . . your happiness does not depend on what you EAT physically!}
{Another
Law of God for Establishment - Capitalism and Hard Work}
18~~"Both
thorns
{in this category - thorns are on the stem - like a rose}
and
thistles {the blossom part of plant - like a cactus}
shall
grow for you.
And
you will eat the plants of the field {for food}."
{Note: Thorns are used in the bible to represent divine discipline. Man did not have to work for his food until this time. Now man would have to work for food and suffer injuries associated with the work. And, it also means now that man is a sinner he will only be happy when he works for a living. Implies no happiness for welfare recipients!}
{Note:
God's Laws of Establishment are for believers and unbelievers alike
- all mankind. The Laws of God mentioned so far include marriage -
right woman for her right man - and now free enterprise. After the
fall, all men (believers and unbelievers) can find
happiness
- 1) in marriage and 2) in work - see Ecclesiastes 9:9}
{Work
By the 'Sweat of the Brow' - All your Life - Judgment of Man}
19~~
"By the sweat of your face {brow}
will
you eat bread {food},
until
you {physical body}
return
unto the ground;
because
from it, you were taken.
For
you are dust {the body},
and
to dust you shall return."
20~~
So the man {'adam}
called
the name of the woman
'Life
Receiving One' {Chavvah (Eve)}
because
she became the mother of all living ones.
{Note: Chavvah in the Hebrew means Life Receiving One. RBT says in Septuagint Greek version, Chavvah was transliterated 'Eua' which became 'Eve' so we got this from the Greek translation of the Old Testament, not from the original Hebrew.}
21~~Therefore,
for the man {'adam} and for his woman {'Ishah},
Jehovah/God
Elohiym/Godhead manufactured {'asah}
clothes
from coats of skins {first shedding of blood}.
{Note: Animals had to die in order for God to manufacture out of something ('asah) clothing from animal skins. This is the first shedding of blood in the bible.}
{Fallen
Mankind under Salvation}
22~~And
the Jehovah/God Elohiym/Godhead said,
"Behold,
the man {'adam} has become
like
one from among Us {the Elohiym/Godhead} . . .
to
know good and evil.
And
therefore, lest he put forth his hand,
and
take also of the tree of life,
and
eat, and live forever.
{Note: The issue is NOT what you do, it is WHAT you KNOW that is important!}
{Note: RBT says this is 'sanctified sarcasm' here. Man is now spiritually dead. He was told by Satan, eat and you will be as smart as God. So, man is 'like' God alright, but is not nearly as smart as God.}
{Note: God will not permit any man to perpetuate his own brand of evil. If you lived long enough you would do so. So, man will now have to die physically.}
23~~Therefore
the Jehovah/God Elohiym/Godhead
banished
him {Adam} from the garden of Eden,
to
till the soil from which he was taken.
{Verse
Ties with Proverbs Chapter 8 and Revelation Chapter 2:7}
24~~
Therefore He {God} drove the man out
and,
at the east of the garden of Eden,
He
stationed the Cherubim {angels},
and
the flaming sword which turned every direction,
to
guard the way/road to the tree of life.
{Note: The Tree of Life represents capacity for happiness and God will not permit happiness to co-exist with sin. The capacity to have happiness only comes with bible doctrine resident in your soul. Therefore, bible doctrine study is related to the Tree of Life.}
