Eve was not just
any women, was she?
She
had a special purpose, as did Adam.
By: John Rhine
Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image,
This
creation recorded in Chapter 1 of Genesis describes the creation of
mankind; male and female.
This
is not a description of the two individuals; Adam and Eve being formed!
No,
It's a description of the races being created.
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone;
[21] And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept:and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
[22] And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man,made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
[23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh:she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
That
is why Satan seduced Eve in the garden;
in
order to try and contaminate this newly formed pure line of humans
from
which Jesus would decent.
We now come to the sixth day as described in Genesis chapter 1. Six is the number of man.
Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind,cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. [25] And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over the cattle, and over all the earth,
and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.This is God placing mankind back on the earth after Lucifer's Flood;
all men having been previously removed, when the first earth was destroyed following Satan's fall.The difference is; this time mankind will have flesh and blood bodies like the animal kingdom.
In this way God will teach all of mankind to appreciate the life of his soul by personally experiencing physical death just as they witnessed animals die in the first earth age, dinosaurs, mastodons, etc.These Genesis 1:26 mankind are hunters and gathers.

And
so God said, let "us" make mankind in "our" image.
The
words "us" and "our" refer back to Elohim,
which
is to say God and the host of heaven,or God and the angels, who of course,
are us, before we come to earth as humans in animal bodies for this earth age.
It
does not say that man just looks like God only, does it?
Keep
that in mind as we continue.
Let's
look back for a minute; just before God creates mankind.
To
whom is He speaking?
He
says, "Let us
make man in our
image", "after our
likeness", to look just like us.
Now
think hard. Do you suppose that you look like yourself?
As
you
did, in the first earth age, before
you were
born in the flesh?
I'll
bet you do!
[27] So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;male and female created he them.
Was
this before "'eth ha Adam" and his wife Eve were formed?
Yes
it was!
This
was the sixth day.
The
man we call Adam was formed on the eighth day and we haven't gotten there
yet.
So
hang in here!
However,
you now know the answer to a question that often puzzles ministers and
even scholars,
"When
Cain was sent forth into the land of Nod, it says he took a wife.
Where
in the world did she come from?"
The
answer is simple, she was of the sixth day creation.
[28] And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,
and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air,
and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
Did
you catch the word "replenish" when you read verse 28?
I
know I missed it for many years and my mind read "plenish".
To
replenish the earth is to populate it once again,
for
it had been populated in the world that was.
Now
that too makes sense!
Notice
also, that God gave the sixth day man dominion over the fish of the sea,
the fowl of the air,
and
the entire wild kingdom.
And so they became hunters and fishers.
However,
conspicuously absent from this account
is
any mention of farming and/or tilling the ground.
Why?
Keep reading!
Genesis 1:30 And God saw every thing that he had made,
Now
that we are reading the scriptures much more closely than we used to,
we
notice that this creation of mankind, of the races,
was
not just pronounced "good", it was pronounced "very good".
Next
we notice God resting on the seventh day (How long would that be anyway?).
One
day is as one thousand years for the Lord.
The
heavens and the earth "which are now" (2 Pet. 3:7) were finished,
and
all the "host" of them.
Look
up the word "host" in your Strong's concordance if you have one (and you
should).
The
Hebrew word is tsaba and it means a
"mass of people, in waiting", i.e.
the
newly created heavens and earth are finished
and
the
sons of God await their turn to "pass through this earth age", in a flesh
body, born of woman.
Mankind
would be going forth and replenishing the earth during this seventh day,
this
millennium [1000 years] of rest.
Then
on the next day, the one following the seventh day,
which
would be the eighth day, we shall meet the great, great, great..... grandparents
of Jesus Christ.
Now,
you will find that in just about every commentary of the Bible extant,
that
the creation which follows is presented as a parenthetical insertion,
a
more detailed account of the creation of man which we read of in chapter
1 beginning in verse 26.
This
false
assumption will lead to great difficulty in explaining
how
it is that in chapter one the animals are
created first, then man,
while
here in chapter two man is formed first
and then the animals.
Which is it?
The answer is BOTH.
There
are two separate actions.
We
begin to "see" in the next verse.
Genesis 2:5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth,and every herb of the field before it grew:
for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth,
and there was not a man to till the ground.
And
so here on the eighth day, following God's day of rest (Sabbath),
God
says that He has "no man to till the ground".
It
is significant that eight, in Biblical numerics, means "new beginnings",
because
God is about to form a new man for a very, very special purpose.
[6] But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.[7] And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,
and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
First, the Hebrew word for "formed" is yatsar, meaning to "mould" or "form" as a potter.
Secondly (and this is crucial to our understanding), the word "man" used here is
" 'eth-ha adham",
Lastly, we see God "breathed" into Adam's nostrils the "breath of life".
So
God not only inflated Adam's lungs with "air",
but
placed in him his "breath of life body", i.e. his spiritual body.
The
apostle Paul makes it very clear in 1 Cor. 15 that we have both a flesh
body and a spiritual body,
and
so did Adam when God was finished forming him.
[8] And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden;and there he put the man whom he had formed.
Instead, He prepared a special garden and in it placed this "same man Adam", whom He had formed.
[15] And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.
We
are on the eighth day.
God
has just formed (not created as in chapter
one) a special man to "till the ground"
and
has placed him in the garden of Eden to dress it and keep it.
Why
this special forming of another man?
Because
it would be through this man, 'eth ha Adam,
and
his soon to be formed wife, Eve,
that
the Messiah, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, would be born.
It
was God's plan from the beginning.
And
so, we better be prepared to expect
that
Satan will try his best to thwart this plan of God
and
to destroy this woman and her offspring!
If
we keep this objective (to destroy the seed line of Christ)
in
mind throughout the Old Testament, as we read it,
we
will better understand the events that took place,
like
when king Abimelech took Sarah, after Abraham told him that she was his
sister,
and
when Judah took "foreign" wives, and produced "non-qualified" offspring,
etc.
Let's now look in on Adam and see how he is doing.
Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone;I will make him an help meet for him.
[19] And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field,and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them:
and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
You
will find, if you care to check it out, that in chapter 1 verse 24,
God
brought forth the beasts of the "earth", erets in Hebrew,
meaning
the "earth at large" or "wilderness", i.e. the wild
animals.
But
here in chapter 2 verse 19 he formed every beast of the "field", sadeh
in
Hebrew,
meaning
"country" or "field", i.e. field animals or
farm animals.
Once
again, notice that these animals were formed AFTER the man was formed
whereas
in chapter one the wild animals were created BEFORE mankind.
Yep!, These were separate acts.
[20] And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air,and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.
[21] And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept:and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
[22] And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman,and brought her unto the man.
Isn't God's Word exciting?
Very
often, not much in the way of details is supplied to an event or occurrence,
leaving
us free to speculate and use good common sense.
[23] And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh:
God's plan is for Jesus, the savior of all mankind, to descent from this newly formed pure human stock.
Wow!
Are we saying that the males and females
from
the sixth day creation are no longer pure?
Read
Genesis 6:1-4 and realize that these sixth day humans
have
been procreating for one thousand years, but
they had visitors.
That's right, not all of us, sons of God waited our turn to be born of water!
That's
why God placed these two newly formed people,
farmer
[Adam] along with women [Eve], his help mate,
in
a garden to til the earth.
God
did not want this man roaming around the country side, hunting and gathering,
meeting
and mating with females from the sixth day creation?
Not because they were any better then people from the sixth day creation but God needed to keep a peoples of pure pedigree stock available from which Christ would be born. Of no contamination by fallen angels!
No wonder Satan seduced Eve in the fig grove!
No wonder one of Eve's bi-paternal twins was evil and murdered the other.
Bi-paternal twins (Scientifically termed: Heteropaternal superfecundation) occurs when a mother has more than one egg available for fertilization, while having sex with more than one man around the same period of time
It
took another flood [Noah's flood]
to
help preserve the pure line from Seth [Adams second son] up to and until
Mary,
the
mother of Jesus was born,
but
it did happen.
Jesus,
The Christ, was born to a virgin
who
descended directly from Adam and Eve
uncontaminated
by Satan
or
any other of us sons of God who
left our first estate,
by
coming to earth and fathering children
without
being born of water [the womb].
Since
all sixth day females were created [did not
come from man]
and
half of Eve's female descendants [Cain's offspring]
did
not come from man [Adam],
but
from another son of God [Satan]
it
is a pretty sure thing that not one woman
[as
women is defined in Genesis 2:23]
exists
on earth today.
Don't feel bad
girls, I'm pretty sure no pure blood male descendant of Adam exists today,
either!
Special note from the author: I grew up and learned to know the Lord in a evangelical Christian church and came away from that church believing that I never existed until being conceived and born into this flesh and blood life to my earth mother. Boy, was I ever wrong, did they teach me that? I'm not sure; That was fifty, sixty, seventy years ago. But I am sure of one thing. Most Christian churches today are afraid to teach anything someone sitting there in a pew might find offense with. Membership roles, the offering plate, etc. keep them from teaching us the Bible as written; book by book, chapter, by chapter, verse by verse, precept upon precept; Rightly dividing the Word of Truth!
If you don't agree with what I just said. I pray you will log unto and read the following study with the Holy Spirit's guidance Live Link to- study #7027 Because, Christian, If you are going to get any benefit from reading your Bible, you had better have Christ spit on your eyes like the blind man from Bethsaida.
