vv.1-7
“And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.“
According to the covenant blessings of man depended on the Man component. In disobeying a direct command Adam and Eve rejected the covenant as it were. How did the serpent bring another gospel and another Christ to man and woman? Eve used her natural eyes and carnal wisdom than faith. “And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise.” She put a premium on carnal wisdom. “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.” (Jas.3:15) . In our times photoShopping Jesus Christ to sell to the masses tells that the imposter church has learned nothing.
A classic example is the manner they have tried to argue Creationism over Darwinism till this date. What is raking up controversy over nothing? Is there any mention of a week in the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis? James refers the wisdom Bible scholars have relied on is devilish.
Eyes of them were opened while their eye of faith closed as it were. The world of the Spirit served a glorious covering and when they came under the carnal wisdom they made provisions for nakedness which was hardly the solution. It has been thus with us and the progress we tout as homo sapiens hardly does us credit.
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” (v.15)
This enmity is primarily of two contrary laws of which the Law of the Spirit established its glory over the man and woman. A proof of it was in the matter of covering. Glory was their covering and they felt no shame over ‘nakedness” “And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”(2:25). Law of the Spirit is the Spirit of the unity. Being bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh is symbolised in the statement, “And they shall be one flesh .” The body or the church fitting the head is implied in these verses, “she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man./ Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”(2:23-24)
“Thy seed” in the case of Eve has to fall under the provision of the everlasting covenant. “And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.”(1:11) Those which are not planted by the Father showed by their fruits. “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?/ Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit./ A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit./ Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire./ Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”(Matt.7:16-20). Law of sin judged the corrupt tree.
God’s provision for ‘the seed in itself’ falls under the day three. The Spirit makes it clear that the Son shall judge the quality. Jesus Christ as the Word become flesh was present (John 1:1). Blessings conferred in 1:28 included the seed of Eve, every believer on the basis of faith ‘After our likeness’
