message is for those people who seem to think Adam and Eve talked about in Genesis chapter 2 were the
male and female God created on day six as described in Genesis
chapter 1, verse 27.
You are wrong, folks!
These people who think the creation account in Genesis chapter 2 is just a repeat of what
happened in Genesis chapter 1 sure do have a problem explaining how in
Genesis chapter 1 the animals were created before mankind
'adam yet in
Genesis chapter 2 the individual man Adam
'eth-ha adam was formed before the animals.
I guess they think that God, in less then a dozen verses, forgot whether He created man first or animals first!
Maybe, instead of
listening to some man explain it, preacher or otherwise, these people should
get a Companion Bible and study for themselves, what the
original manuscripts, as preserved in the Massorah, say.
man in Genesis 1:28 is Heb. 'adam (with no Art) ="mankind", including the races.
man in Genesis 2:7 is Heb. 'eth-'Ha'adam (with Art. and Particle) ="this same individual man, Adam".
'eth-'Ha'adam (Adam) and his help meet
Eve, who God forned using a rib from 'eth-'Ha'adam. These
two individuals were formed by God, as described in Genesis chapter 2; to be the
ancestors of Jesus,
the Christ child, when God decided He as His only begotten Son,
was to come to earth to live
amongst us for a short while as a human being. Then, being both man and
God, He would qualify to sacrifice His life, shedding his precious sin free blood to cover the sins of the
world; For all who would believe in Him and invite Him into their
heart. God's plan was that this individual man, Adam's and his help
meet Eve's descendants were to remain of pure pedigree
for 75 generations until the birth of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ through the
pure pedigree lineage from Eve to the Virgin Mary.
The
animals created in chapter 1 were wild animals (beasts of the earth); the male and female
humans created in chapter 1 were hunters and gatherers and were told to
go out and have children to replenish the earth after Lucifer's flood (the ice age which ended the first earth age after Lucifer's rebellion against God, when God, in His fierce anger destroyed that first earth age).
The
animals formed in chapter 2 were farm animals (beasts of the field), because Adam and
his
help meet Eve were farmers; Yes, old McAdam had a farm/garden, called
Eden and old McAdam and Eve were to stay home, keeping their blood line
pure for the birth of our Lord to be born into; but staying home didn't
happen for they got kicked out of the garden for having sex with Satan.
On top of that, Satan had fellow fallen angels come to earth to have
sex
with daughters of Adam and Eve, having children by them. That was the
reason for
Noah's flood; to rid the earth of these hybrids, when there were only 8
pure blood descendants of Adam and Eve left in the land.
The following is from Appendix #14 in the Companion Bible:
'Adam,
without the article, denotes man or mankind in general (Genesis 1:26;
2:5; 5:1, followed by plural pronoun). With the article, it denotes the
man, Adam, though rendered "man" in Genesis 1:27; 2:7 (twice)
8,15,16,19 (margin), 22 (twice); 3:12,22,24; 5:1; 6:1 (rendered "men"),
2,3,4. With the particle ('eth) in addition to the article it is very emphatic, and means self, very, this same, this very. See Genesis 2:7 (first occurrence),
8,15. Rendered in the Septuagint (anthropos) 411 times; (aner) eighteen
times (fifteen in Proverbs); once (thnetos), Proverbs 20:24 = dying;
four times (brotos), mortal (all in Job); once (gegenes), earthborn,
Jeremiah 32:20.
To study the Bible is the
noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the
guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
