Adam & Eve

Adam was created from the dust of the earth on the 6th day of creation AFTER everything else was created (Gen 1:27, 31), "...male and female created He them." Then Adam was put into a deep sleep (likened unto a death) and the rib and womb taken from him to create his helpmate, Eve (KJ Gen 2:22 {rib}; Holy Name Gen 2:18 {womb}). They were both created on the 6th day (Gen 1:31). Adam was put into the Garden of Eden AFTER he was created from the dust of the earth and BEFORE Eve was created from his body (KJ Gen 2:8; HN 2:5).

Genesis 1 was written from a vision given to Moses, who is commonly recognized to have written Genesis, on his second trip to the top of Mt. Sinai (Ex 24:12-16). The colon after "six days" in the 16th verse of Exodus 24 is a separation between the 7th day of Moses' vision and the first 6 days of his vision of the creation. That colon is where Genesis 1 belongs. Instead of writing the creation in Exodus, Moses wrote Genesis to preserve creation visions he had received along with all the visionary information he received which dealt with time prior to the exodus. When he went back up into the Mount on his third trip he saw a more extended account of the creation of Adam and Eve and the succeeding generations which begin with Genesis 2. Yahweh Elohim gave Moses these and other visions. Click here for more about the true names.

There is a lot of talk about why Genesis 1 and 2 exist. It is because they represent two visions, the first vision (on his 2nd trip) being a brief run down or repeat of the 6 days of creation, among other things, and the second vision (on his 3rd trip) being a full explanation of the creation and the fall of Adam and Eve, among other things. During his second trip up the mount, Moses saw the brief creation vision as well as receiving the Tabernacle Pattern (Ex 25:8-9,40) and the two tablets of stone (Ex 31:18) written by the finger of Elohim. During the third trip up the mount when he took up two more tablets to be written on (Ex 34:4), having destroyed the first set (EX 32:19), Moses received a more complete understanding of not only the creation of Adam and Eve but the revelation of their fall from grace, and he learned more about the law and the tabernacle pattern. Both the 2nd and 3rd trips lasted 40 solar days each.

When Moses came down from the second trip he had not seen the fall: Satan in the Garden deceiving Eve, Adam and Eve's disobedience (Gen 3:1-6), the resulting curses (Gen 3:19), and Adam's expulsion from the Garden of Eden (Gen 3:22-24). Moses thought after the first vision on his second trip that there was no reason for man to be sinful, everything had been perfect. That is why he waxed so hot when he saw the people worshipping the golden calf and he threw down the tablets Yahweh Elohim had given him (Ex 31:18), breaking them (Ex 32:19).

On that third trip up the mount, when Moses took two blank tablets for the commandments to be re-written upon, he saw in that 2nd creation vision how Satan had deceived Eve (Gen 3:6) and that Adam was also in the transgression having been disobedient to the law not to eat the fruit of the tree in the midst of the Garden (law given: KJ Gen 2:17; HN 2:14; law broken KJ & HN Gen 3:1-6). Moses then saw the powerful Mystery of Iniquity in operation, Satan, and understood there was a powerful adversary, an angel of light (II Cor 11:14), who caused Mankind to be disobedient to Yahweh so Moses then better understood why people sinned continually. He saw a replay of Satan deceiving Eve.

Moses refers to Satan, symbolically, as a snake having observed the angel's charactertistics that resemble the snake's: cleverness, craftiness, and silent travel that mark Satan's entrance into and effect on mankind's actions. Satan is also referred to as a dragon who, along with his cohorts (fallen angels/demons), was consigned to the earth plane after the battle in heaven (KJ Rev 12:9; HN Rev 12:10), "...dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life" (Gen 3:14) - dust being what a man is made from.

We can see that Adam chose to die with his bride because he went ahead and ate the fruit but was not deceived as was his wife Eve (I Tim 2:14) and He knew it meant death. Adam could have refused to eat of the fruit of the forbidden tree, he certainly knew he was not supposed to eat of it. Adam's willingness to die for his bride is a type and shadow of Yahshua's willingness to die for His bride, the Assembly (Eph 5:25). The acceptance of death by the Saviour for His bride was the fulfillment of Adam's acceptance of death so he could be with his bride. Conversely, Eve was not ordered out of the Garden: Adam was ordered out and Eve followed him, a type of how the assembly follows the head of the body who is Yahshua (Col 1:18).

If we accept the fact stated in Rom 5:14 that Adam is a type or figure of the Saviour and that according to Yahshua himself His earthly mission was one of fullfilling the Law and Prophets (Matt 3:15, 5:17; Luke 24:25-27 & 44) we can see that Adam being created on the 6th day (Gen 1:27, 31) necessitates Yahshua being born on the 6th day (of Sivan or June) which is also clearly proved in the Bible itself.

Adam's disobedience brought death to all mankind from Adam to Moses even over those that had not committed a like sin, but Adam died for his wife and "...as a figure of Him that was to come" (Romans 5:12-14). After Pentecost, which was the beginning of the New Covenant, people were again born innocent (like Adam was created) and become under the power of Satan's Mystery of Iniquity thus requiring a Saviour just as those who were marked with Adam's sin needed in the Old Covenant. Spiritually speaking, Yahshua's death for His bride can reverse the death decree that Adam caused up through the end of the Mosaic Law age, and the penalty of death for disobedience to Yahweh (sin) that people born in the New Age/Covenant bring upon themselves not long after birth. Adam was earthly but Yahshua is a life giving spirit, renewing a man unto eternal life (I Cor 15:45-49) if the gift is accepted, the gift of the Holy Spirit.

You will note that Adam did not physically die right away, he lived 930 years (Gen 5:5)! But Adam and Eve died spiritually, in their conscience immediately as shown by their sudden recognition of their nakedness (Gen 3:7), they were no longer clothed with innocence. Since a day is a thousand years to Yahweh (Ps 90:4; II Pet 3:8) we can see that to Yahweh Adam died physically in a day (Yahweh's Day of 1000 years) as He had warned Adam "...for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die" (KJ Gen 2:17; HN Gen. 2:14) but Adam and Eve died immediately, in their own earthly day, in their conscience. They literally ceased to be immortally alive and time began for them, and us, right within the eternal Day of Yahweh.

The Garden of Eden was a physical type of the Most Holy Place in the tabernacle pattern which is "...the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of Elohim when he was about to make the tabernacle..." (Heb 8:5). The Garden itself had a Most Holy Place in the midst of it which contained the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life. Once Adam and Eve were disobedient to Yahweh, He ordered Adam out and Even followed him out of the Garden lest they eat of the tree of life and be forever disobedient to Him. The Most Holy Place of the tabernacle pattern represents the third heaven, a totally spiritual place, the promised land for the fifth age, a type of which was Canaan's land for Israel.

It has been estimated that a man will sweat 5,000 gallons of water during his lifetime. When the ground was cursed and Adam had to till it by the sweat of his brow, this was conforming to the Tabernacle pattern as well. When Eve gave birth and shed blood to do so this was also conforming to the Tabernacle Pattern. When they left Eden they traveled down from the Most Holy Place, through the Holy Place and into the area of life where the shedding of blood and the use of water to clean up, in the Court Round About of the Tabernacle Pattern, is evident. Adam and Eve brought mankind down spiritually speaking, this is the well known "fall of man". Eve followed Adam out of the Garden and they commenced to live life as mortal human beings. They were not allowed back into the Garden either, they were kept out by a spiritual (the spirit principle) presence with a flaming sword (Gen 3:24).

So, thus started the playing out of the two mysteries: the Mystery of Righteousness and the Mystery of Iniquity. These mysteries were not to be understood by mankind until the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost which brought understanding of the Scriptures (the Law and the Testimony - just the Old testament because the New testatment did not yet exist when the Holy Spirit was poured out). Adam and Eve begat Cain who slew Abel his brother (Gen 4:8) and so on down through time. These two mysteries and their operation comprise the Mystery of Yahweh working out His Pattern and Plan through the Ages and Dispensations (Matt 13:11; Mark 4:11; Luke 8:10; Romans 11:25,16:25; 1 Cor 2:7,4:1,13:2; Eph 1:9-10,3:9,5:32,6:19; Col 1:26-27,2:2,4:3; II Thes 2:7; I Tim 3:9,16; Rev 10:7).

The only way we can now get back into the Most Holy Place spiritually (Heb 8:5) is through faith which comes with evidence (Heb 11:1,6), creating knowledge of the Messiah (John 17:3) and His mission to save us, His bride, who needs to get back into the Son of Man through His shed blood. Just as Eve was taken out of Adam's side, we go back into the Messiah, spiritually speaking, by the opening in Yahshua's side where His skin was pierced by a sword and His blood and water was shed (John19:32-34) instead of his legs being broken, like those of the men crucified on either side of him, to fulfill the prophecy that not a bone of His would be broken (Ps 34:20) just as no bones of the sacrificial Passover lamb were broken (KJ Ex 12:46) which was a shadow of Him (Yahshua) who was to come (John 1:29).

Knowing these facts, understanding the mysteries, we then can become immersed - baptized as we are told in Matt 28:19 in the name of the father (Yahweh), in the son (Yahweh Elohim who is the Word who came unto the prophets) and the Holy Spirit (who is Yahshua in or out of a physical body - John 14:26). Thus we enter into Yahshua's spiritual body by hearing the Word spoken through vessels preaching the gospel (I Cor 1:21), then by accepting His spiritual body, the true bread of life (John 6:51), which was broken and shed onto us at Pentecost which fulfills the promise made in Jer 31:31-34 to have the spirit law written in our hearts and minds.
