Part 3
Gen 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
They were so ashamed of what had just happened, they hid themselves from the presence of God among the trees in that fig grove.
Gen 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
He knew exactly where Adam was. And He directed His voice to him.
Gen 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
That old tree of the knowledge of good and evil had laid them bare, alright. They were naked and ashamed before the Lord. And they had not just lost their flesh innocence; they lost their righteousness, too.
As we know from Revelation 19:8, our spiritual garments are our righteous acts in Christ. But when we lose our righteousness by turning away from the Word of God and embracing that which has been forbidden, we lose those spiritual garments, and end up naked and ashamed before the Lord. As the Scripture says in Revelation 16:15, “Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.”
Gen 3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
God knew exactly what had happened. He asks them, “Have you disobeyed my command to refrain from eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?”
There are two trees in the garden of God. One of those trees is completely evil, setting forth religious deception under the guise of increased insight and personal transformation. Partaking of that tree leads to muth muth, which is to say, death of both body and soul.
Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Beguiled-seduced.
What is the punishment?
Gen 3:15 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.
What’s this? God says He’s going to put enmity (i.e., perpetual hostility) between the serpent and mother Eve, as well as between the serpent’s seed and the woman’s seed.
Is that not two different seed lines? Of course it is! The word “seed” used in this verse is translated from the Hebrew word zera (see Strong’s 2233), meaning in this context “posterity” or children.
The woman’s seed, meaning her children through her husband Adam, would have a high point many years into the future with the birth of Christ Jesus as shown in the genealogy of Mary in Luke chapter 3.
But that old serpent, the devil, also has seed, which is to say, he has also sired children on the face of this earth. And we are told here by our heavenly Father that the serpent’s seed line will always be naturally opposed to the children of God through Adam and Eve.
There will be “enmity,” meaning hostility, between these two seed lines. And of course, since Christ Jesus was of the posterity of Adam
