Moses Introduction

• Genesis 11 In the beginning God.
• Gods existence is taken for granted. His
  existence is no more needed to be proved than an
  author of a modern book needs to prove his own
  existence.
• BUT DOES GOD REALLY EXIST?

Two Opposite Progressive Themes In Genesis that
run throughout the Bible

• 1. Gods orderly creation reaching its climax in
  perfect Man in fellowship with his creator
• 2. The Beginning of sin and its disintegrating
  work.
• A. This theme demonstrates the great need for
  Gods intervention to provide the solution to
  prevent the extinction of the human race via
  moral corruption
• 1. Thus the cleansing of the earth by flood.
• 2. The scheme of Redemption

11
These themes involves these oppositesBlessing
(LIFE) and Cursing (DEATH)

• BLESSING By sinless fellowship having the right
  to eat of the fruit of the tree of life.
• CURSING By sin and breaking fellowship be
  banned from eating the fruit of the tree of life.
  The curse is a separation from the tree of life
  and suffer the penalty of sin which is death.
• Remedy for the curse REDEMPTION To have the
  penalty of death paid for sin and the curse
  removed.

12
Jesus Gives Everyone the CHOICE OF Blessing
Cursing in the Great Commission

• MARK 1615,16 (The Great Commisison)
• And he said unto them, Go ye into all the
  world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
• THE BLESSING He that believeth and is baptized
  shall be saved
• THE CURSE but he that believeth not shall be
  damned.

13
The two themes of Blessing (Life) Cursing
(Death) will culminate at the end of Time

Rev. 216. And he said unto me, It is done. I
am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I
will give unto him that is athirst of the
fountain of the water of life freely. 7. He
that overcometh shall inherit all things and I
will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8. But
the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part
in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone which is the second death.
14
The two themes of Blessing (Life) Cursing
(Death) will culminate at the end of Time

Rev. 221-3 And he shewed me a pure river of
water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out
of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2. In the
midst of the street of it, and on either side of
the river, was there the tree of life, which bare
twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit
every month and the leaves of the tree were for
the healing of the nations. 3. And there shall
be no more curse but the throne of God and of
the Lamb shall be in it and his servants shall
serve him
15
God Promised The Gift of Redemption and the doom
of Satan in Genesis 315

• Genesis 315 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

Genesis 11IN THE BEGINNING GOD

• INTRO. TO THE REAL GOD

  I AM
• Lord Adonai Ruler or Master (Gen. 151-2)
• Almighty God El-Shaddai (Genesis 171)
• (lord sir used for men)

19
What About Allah? Or any other god?
The Worlds wisdom, in ignorance of spiritual
truth, says God is the same regardless of a name
-----BUT, ALLAH and JEHOVAH cannot be the same
God. They are opposites in personality and
doctrine. (Eph. 43-4 Amos 33)
20
Jehovah Versus Allah
JEHOVAH ELOHIM
ALLAH AL-Tawba 9123ff O ye
who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you
about, and let them find harshness in you, and
know that Allah is with those who keep their
duty. let them find in you hardness and know
that Allah is with those who guard (against
evil).
Mt. 544 Love your enemies, bless them that
curse you, do good to them that hate you, and
pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute youThat ye may be the children of your
Father which is in heaven Gal. 610. As we have
therefore oppor-tunity, let us do good unto all
men,
These cannot be the Same God unless God is
schizophrenic
21
Do Muslims believe that Jesus was the son of
God?
"Say "God is Unique! God, the Source of
everything. He has not fathered anyone nor was
He fathered, and there is nothing comparable to
Him!" (Quran 1121-4).
The Quran states "Such was Jesus, the son of
Mary it is a statement of truth, about which
they vainly dispute. It is not befitting to the
majesty of God, that He should beget a son. Glory
be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only
says to it, 'Be' and it is" (Qur'an 9 34-35).

GENESIS 12 A DARK VOID A WASTE WITHOUT
INTELLIGENT FORM AND LIFEANY PLACE IS LIKE
THIS WHEN IT IS WITHOUT GOD..EVEN THE SOUL OF
MAN

ELOHIM
52
BUT ELOHIMS (THE MIGHTY ONES) WORD BROUGHT
LIGHT AND DISPELED THE DARKNESS

• 13. THE EMIGHTY ONES said, Let there be light
• and there was light.

The Word is Jesus Who is the Light of the World
JOHN 812
53
Jesus is the word of light in the world

• 12. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I
  am the light of the world he that followeth me
  shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the
  light of life.
• The WORD in the spirit became the word in the
  flesh. Jesus became THE EMBODIED WORD OF
  GOD---HEBREWS 11
• Acts 1326. Men and brethren, children of the
  stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth
  God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
• JESUS MEANS SALVATION

54
JESUS AS THE WORD WAS IN THE BEGINNING

• John 1 1. In the beginning was the Word, and
  the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
• 2. The same was in the beginning with God.
• 3. All things were made by him and without him
  was not any thing made that was made.
• 4. In him was life and the life was the light
  of men.
• 5. And the light shineth in darkness and the
  darkness comprehended it not.

55
JESUS was the SPIRITUAL Creating WORD God

• Colossians 115. Who is the image of the
  invisible God, the firstborn of every creature
• 16. For by him were all things created, that
  are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and
  invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions,
  or principalities, or powers all things were
  created by him, and for him
• 17. And he is before all things, and by him all
  things consist.
• NOW WE CAN UNDERSTAND BETTER WHY THE PLURAL
  ELOHIM APPEARS IN GENESIS ONE

56
Life follows the light.

• John 14. In him was life and the life was the
  light of men.
• 5. And the light shineth in darkness and the
  darkness comprehended it not.
• (COULD NOT ARREST IT)

57
Light is the product of the spoken Word and life
is the product of that Light

• I John 11. That which was from the beginning,
  which we have heard, which we have seen with our
  eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands
  have handled, of the Word of life
• 2. (For the life was manifested, and we have
  seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that
  eternal life, which was with the Father, and was
  manifested unto us)

58
Fellowship with God and each Believer depends
upon Receiving the declared word of light and
letting your light shine

• I John 133. That which we have seen and heard
  declare we unto you, that ye also may have
  fellowship with us and truly our fellowship is
  with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
• Mt. 516. Let your light so shine before men,
  that they may see your good works, and glorify
  your Father which is in heaven.

59
Light, life, and cleansing blood eternal life.
These all imply faith and obedience

• 1 JOHN 15. This then is the message which we
  have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God
  is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
• 6. If we say that we have fellowship with him,
  and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the
  truth
• 7. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the
  light, we have fellowship one with another, and
  the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us
  from all sin.
• 8. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
  ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
• 9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and
  just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us
  from all unrighteousness.

60
OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD THE WORD WILL DETERMINE OUR
JUDGMENT.

• John 831. Then said Jesus to those Jews which
  believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then
  are ye my disciples indeed
• John 12 48. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth
  not my words, hath one that judgeth him the word
  that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in
  the last day.

• Its meaning is Mighty Ones Used as the creative
  Godsfrom whom are all things.

65
Thoughts on the Eternalness of God and Man

• Why can a manufacturers guarantee be extended to
  longer periods over the years?
• What if he could produce a perfect product?
• Why is man living longer than a century ago?
• What prevents man from living for ever?

66
GOD IS ALL PERCEPTIVE

• Ps. 1392. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine
  uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
  3. Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
  and art acquainted with all my ways. 4. For
  there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O
  Lord, thou knowest it altogether. 5. Thou hast
  beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand

• QUALITY IS THE ESSENCE OF LONGEVITY
• Used in emphasis of the covenant aspect of the
  Godhead.

71
THE ESSENCE OF YAHWEH OR JEHOVAH IN THE OLD
TESTAMENT IS

• He is the God of promise. He is able to keep His
  promise regardless of any sinful Satanic
  consequences that happen to come along.

72
ANOTHER NAME FOR GOD ADONAI GEN. 152

• TRANS. IN KJV RSV AS Lord (Capital L with the
  rest in lower caseto be distinguished from
  lords, all lower case, which refers to men)
• Adonai means Rulers
• Those who walked by faith would be submissive to
  God as Ruler or Master

73
Genesis 15 18 is a good example of use in KJV,
NKJV RSV

• 15 1. After these things the word of the LORD
  came unto Abram 2. And Abram said, Lord God,
  what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless,
  and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of
  Damascus?
• 4. And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto
  him,
• 8. And he said, Lord God, whereby shall I know
  that I shall inherit it?
• 1812. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself,
  saying, After I am waxed old shall I have
  pleasure, my lord being old also?
• 13. And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore
  did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear
  a child, which am old?
• 14. Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the
  time appointed I will return unto thee, according
  to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

74
ANOTHER NAME El Shadday Shad dah
ee Almighty God

• Unlimited power, omnipotent
• 171. And when Abram was ninety years old and

75
B. IN THE BEGINNING ELOHIM CREATED THE HEAVENS
AND THE EARTH
THE EYE IS LIMITED TO ITS MAXIMUM RANGE THEREFORE
MAN CANNOT REDUCE GOD TO ITS LIMITS
At the end of the visible is the spiritual---
God 2 COR. 122 THE THIRD HEAVEN
After 1930 PLUTO
Before 1930??
After Hubble??
76
THE INTELLIGENT, ORDERLY, VISIBLE ALWAYS COMES
FROM THE INVISIBLE

• THEREFORE THE WRITER OF HEBREWS SAYS IN 113

Through faith we understand that the worlds were
framed by the word of God, so that things which
are seen were not made of things which do
appear. THE BIG BANG..GOD COMMANDED IT AND BANG
IT WAS THERE
77
THE SIX DAYS CREATION

• All creation is by the WORD of Elohim
• Verse 1-3.the Word created light (The first day
  declared good, and successively for 5 days)
• Verse 20-23the Word created animated life (The
  5th day)
• Verses 26-31 the Word created human life (the
  sixth day VERY GOOD)

78
TWO FAQS

• How old is the earth?
• Adam and Eve were created as adults which means
  God could have created all things in a mature
  state whereby all would be mere speculation to
  try to determine.
• How long were the days? Scripture seems to
  indicate that they were 24 hour days. But also in
  some places yom means a period of time
• (Gen. 51)

79
GOD ENTERED INTO HIS REST ON THE 7TH DAY.

• 6th day closed with all things very good.
• 1. Perfect creation resulted in
• A. Perfect obedience to the word of God
• B. Perfect health and happiness of life
• THIS SABBATH IS THE PERFECT HARMONY OF MAN
  DWELLING WITH HIS CREATOR. IT WILL BE SANCTIFIED
  AND REMAIN A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS AFTER THE
  FALL.

80
HOW CAN SUCH PERFECTION OF THE CREATION CONTINUE
IN RELATION TO GOD?

• THE LIFE, HAPPINESS LAW ARE SEEN IN THE REST OF
  THE SABBATH
• God is self existing because he abides in His
  character.He abides because He chooses always to
  walk in the light of holiness. This is the secret
  of eternal lifefor God and His creation.
• Giving man life with a free will, God lovingly
  reveals to him the source (law) of happiness
  eternal life and the danger of death if this law
  is broken

81
MAN

• All creation to the 6th day was an act of Divine
  grace in preparation to his supreme work man.
• Man was supreme because God created him in his
  own image and all others were to be his
  offspring.
• ACTS 1726. and he made of one every nation of
  men to dwell on all the face of the earth,
• Ps. 84 What is man, that thou art mindful of
  him?
• Such thoughts generates such questions as 1)
  Why did God create man? 2) what is his nature?
  3) Why are there two accounts of creation in
  Genesis?

82
Dr. Eckstein suggest this possible reason for why
God Created man (paraphrased)

• The angels were first created designated as
  cherubim. (Gen. 324 Ps. 991)
• They had free will or ability to choose (Rev.
  228)
• The highest Angel challenged the creators
  authority. This rebellion is depicted
  symbolically in the attitudes of the Kings of
  Tyre and Babylon (Ez. 28-28 Isa. 14)
• He was overthrown and cast down to earth (Rev.
  127-9). He has, or is preparing an eternal realm
  called hell for him and his angels (Mt. 2541

83
God Refutes Satans Accusation that He is
unloving by demonstrating His love in Creation
and all History

• The unfolding of history since creation is a
  revelation that God is holy and love (Jno. 48)
• The creation of man was an act of love. Giving
  them life, happiness and dominion in a heaven on
  earth. (Gen. 126-27) This was placed before
  Satan that Elohim was exactly what he claimed to
  be ---LOVE.
• Even when he would sin, God knew man would need
  his love. So, before the creation He planned to
  send his Son. (I Pet. 118-20 Rev. 138 Eph.
  14)

84
Why Give Them A Choice of Sin?Because eternal
life is determined by character..no choice, no
character.

• Eternal life-a quality of loveis offered man by
  a choice based on faith motivated by love in
  Gods promise of it (Gal. 56).
• The entire history of mankind justifies God as
  being a God of love and grace in actionthat the
  fruit of the spirit is Life eternal and that the
  fruit of sin is death. At the end, all history
  will be a demonstration that God is just in his
  judgment to cast all those who chose sin and
  death in a place of destruction with the
  originators of sin, Satan and his followers.
  (Rev. 2010)

85
WHY HAVE LAW? BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE

• Eternal law exists of life and death.
• CHOICE can be made for either, thus proving
  character.
• This demanded a prohibited tree.
• The Law of life is older than the universe. The
  angels broke the law of life in heaven.
• Gods revelation of the law of life and death was
  his warning of love to man to prevent him to
  avoid the pitfalls of suffering and death.
• Law is for mans ultimate happiness.
• Society would be chaos without law.

86
THE CROWNING VICTORY OF LOVE

• In his hatred of Gods character, Satan uses sin
  to destroy the crowning creation of Gods love--
  The human race. He would then use sinful man to
  murder the Son of God.
• But love conquers with something Satans depraved
  mind could not comprehendGod love gave His Sons
  life for the life of all who accept Gods grace
  through faith.

87
Thus Gods love joins the gift of Grace with the
Faith of Man to save a soul from sin

• Eph. 28-9 8. for by grace have ye been saved
  through faith and that not of yourselves, it is
  the gift of God
• Gods gift must be accepted by faith. Note
  Pauls demonstration of how this is done ACTS
  2216. And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be
  baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on his
  name.
• John 1934 Rev. 15 Rom. 63-4

88
GOD WILL BE SEEN AS LOVE AND JUST AT THE FINAL
JUDGMENT.

• FIGURATIVELY AT THE JUDGMENT
• I Cor. 15 All the dead shall be raised before
  the presence of God, both believers and Satans
  followers
• All history will have proved that Jehovah is
  love and entirely fair
• ALL BELIEVER who have suffered will affirm this
• UNBELIEVERS WILL BE WITHOUT AN EXCUSE (Mt.
  2211-14 201-16 2514-30 LK. 1911-27
• HISTORY WILL HAVE DEMONSTRATED THAT GOD IS LOVE
• MAN WILL THEN BE PLACED IN HEAVEN WHERE ALL
  TEMPTATIONS ARE GONE FOREVER., Satan and
  followers will be punished eternally. Rev. 218

89
REFLECTIONS ON ADAM AND EVE.

• BOTH had imparted to them THE Spirit of Elohim,
  in Gods image, I.e. clean/pure. Made a living
  soul, a being. Each had a mind..intellect,
  insight into their experiences in Eden.
• Each had emotionswants, wishes, desires.
• Before the fall, they only desired God and life
• Each had a conscience, though dormant while
  innocent. Activated by disobedience.
• Each had eternal life on a conditional basis.
  The conditions being the basic essential of
  lifeobedience to the word of life, Gods word.
• None ever again like them. They began as adults.
• THINGS WE DONT KNOW ABOUT THEM How long they
  were in Eden before the fall. Aging began at the
  sentence of death.

90
GOD IS THE WAY OF LIFE, THEREFORE HIS CHARACTER
IS THE LAW OF LIFE

• GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE BECAUSE HE ABIDES BY THE LAW
  OF HIMSELF WHICH MUST NEVER BE BROKEN.
• GOD DESIRED MAN TO ENJOY ETERNAL LIFE THEREFORE
  BY GRACE HE REVEALS THE RUDIMENTARY LAW OF LIFE
  TO THEM TRUST HIS WORD, NEVER DISOBEY IT .
• THIS IS NOT FOR HIS DIVINE EGO, IT IS FOR MANS
  GOOD LIKE WE DO WITH CHILDREN

91
ELOHIM REVEALS THE ELEMENTARY LAW OF LIFE AND
DEATH TO MAN.
DT. 3019. I call heaven and earth to record
this day against you, that I have set before you
life and death, blessing and cursing therefore
choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live
OBEDIENCE, THE FRUIT OF LIFE
DISOBEDIENCE, THE FRUIT OF DEATH
THIS IS REPRESENTED BY CHOOSING THE FRUIT OF TWO
TREES. THE ONE DESIGNATED AS BEARING THE FRUIT
OF LIFE AND T HE OTHER THE FRUIT OF DEATHWHICH
MEANS ONLY ---LOVE GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS
TO LIVE, ---OR CHOOSE OTHERWISE AND SUFFER AND
DIE. God gave the law of life in extreme
simplicity . Man may not understand, but he can
obey. Same with children and electricity.
92
JESUS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE WAY OF HOLINESS
LOVE IS THE WAY OF LIFE

• John 11 In the beginning was the Word, and the
  word was God.
• John 14. In him (the Word) was life and the
  life was the light of men.
• 15. If ye love me, keep my commandments.
• ONE IS ONLY FEIGNING LOVE FOR JESUS IF HE
  SECRETLY OPPOSES ANY PART OF HIS WORD OF LIFE

93
WHY DID MAN MAKE SUCH A FOOLISH DECISION? HE WAS
DECEIVED

• IT NEVER ENTERED MANS HEART TO SIN (DISOBEYMISS
  THE MARK) ON HIS OWN. HE HAD DIABOLICAL HELP.
• IS THIS WHY MAN RECEIVED GRACE IN HIS FALL, WHILE
  THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS DID NOT IN THEIR
  REBELLION AGAINST DIVINE AUTHORITY?

94
Where did Satan come from? Satan means adversary.
Devil means slanderer or accuser

• REV. 127. And there was war in heaven Michael
  and his angels fought against the dragon and the
  dragon fought and his angels,
• 8. And prevailed not neither was their place
  found any more in heaven.
• 9. And the great dragon was cast out, that old
  serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which
  deceiveth the whole world he was cast out into
  the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

95
THE FALL Forearm yourself with this knowledge

• 1. Temptation comes like a serpent in
  unsuspected forms
• Subtly, stealing slowly and quietly, waiting for
  your weakest moment, and then bites with pain
  and sorrow.
• 2. It launches a bridgehead in your heart by
  exciting your curiosity
• Curiosity killed the Cat
• Our greatest security against sin lies in our
  being shocked by it. (Jer. 615)
• 3. Eve was in close proximity to the forbidden.
• She gazed and reflected when she should have fled

96
THE FALL Forearm yourself with this knowledge

• 4. There are dangerous cravings in its elements.
• Instinctively draws toward the mysterious. One
  veiled figure in an assembly will draw more
  attention than the most beautiful present. An
  unaccountable appearance in the heavens will draw
  more attention than the most beautiful sunset.
• 5. Through cravings to be mature, even at the
  expense of danger, unbelief disobedience finds
  entrance
• 6. Experience teaches that one taste of evil
  ruined our first parents. One taste alters
  attitudes.
• Loyalty to to God is loosened, man loses spirit.

97
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE PRESENCE OF THE FORBIDDEN.

• 1. AS SHE GAZED AT ITS BEAUTY, , SHE LONGED IN
  HER HEART, SHE WAS WEAKENED BY CRAVING
• 2, THEN SHE SAW AN INCREDIBLE THING THAT SEEMED
  TO MAKE GOD FALSE. A SERPENT DEVOURED THE
  FORBIDDEN FRUIT WITHOUT ANY HARM.
• 4. SHE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THISHAD GOD BEEN
  COMPLETELY TRUE?
• 5. THE DEVIL USES THE MOMENT SPEAKS TO HER
  HEARTS DESIRE.

98
The Serpents Seed is Sown in Eves Heart

• 1. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God
  said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the
  garden?
• Inferred God has not been fair with you

99
Eves Reply Shows her Resentment and
VulnerabilityShes a sitting duck for Satan, an
accident waiting to happen.

• Gen. 32. And the woman said unto the serpent,
  We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the
  garden
• 3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
  midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
  eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

100
THE FIRST LIE IN THE WORLD WAS NOT TOLD BY MAN

• 4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
  shall not surely die
• GOD HAD SAID 217. But of the tree of the
  knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of
  it for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou
  shalt surely die.

101
JESUS REFERS TO THIS IN JOHN 844

• 44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the
  lusts of your father ye will do. He was a
  murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
  truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
  speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own for he is
  a liar, and the father of it.
• 45. And because I tell you the truth, ye
  believe me no

102
SATAN STILL PERVERTS WITH THE NOT IN HIS TALE.

• JESUS MARK 1616
• HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED.
• SATAN HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS NOT BAPTIZED
  SHALL BE SAVED.

103
OBSERVE ANOTHER NOT IN THE DEVILS TALE TODAY

• THE BIBLE SAYS
• I Cor. 1012. Wherefore let him that thinketh he
  standeth take heed lest he fall.
• SATANS NOT
• YOU CAN NOT SURELY FALL.

104
THE SERPENTS APPEAL TO PRIDE

• 5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat
  thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
  shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
• EXPERIENCING THE AFTERMATH EFFECT OF EVIL WAS THE
  KNOWLEDGE GOD DID NOT WANT THEM TO EVER KNOW.
• A common feeling of parents today with their
  children.

105
Eve is overpowered by craving and succumbs to the
temptation.

• 3 6. And when the woman
• 1) saw that the tree was good for food (she
  walked by sight not by faith and became
  convinced that God had lied) (2 Cor. 57)
  
• 2) and that it was pleasant to the eyes,
  
• 3) and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
  
  
• 4) She took of the fruit thereof.

106
THE NEW KNOWLEDGE ---WAS EXPERIENCING THE
EFFECT OF SIN. WHY DIDNT THEY CLAP THEIR HANDS
IN JOY?

• 1. THE NEW KNOWLEDGE WAS NOT WHAT THE COUPLE
  EXPECTED
• 2. EXPECTED SUFFICIENCY WITHOUT GOD
• 3. EXPECTED THE DISCOVERY OF A MYSTERY
• 4. EXPECTED TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD IN WISDOM

107
THE INNOCENT, HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE NEW
EXPERIENCE OF SIN BRINGS

• THE SCARS THAT SIN WOULD BRING TO THEM!
• THEIR INNOCENCE WAS GONE, GONE, GONE
• THAT THEY HAD A CONSCIENCE THAT WOULD DOG THEM IN
  THE NIGHT FOR THE REST OF LIFE.
• FEELING DEFILED AND UNCLEAN, AFRAID OF THE
  PRESENCE OF THE HOLINESS OF GOD.
• THINGS WOULD NEVER, NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
• THAT IN THEIR NEW DEFILEMENT THEY WOULD FORFEIT
  THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
• THEIR LOSS WAS AWESOME TO BEAR. SEPARATION FROM
  THE TREE OF LIFE.

108
The knowledge God did not want them (man) to ever
Have.

• PHYSICAL PAIN AND SUFFERING
• A BROKEN FAMILY LIFESEEING THEIR SON MURDER HIS
  BROTHER
• EMOTIONAL PAIN AND SUFFERING
• THE EFFECTS OF SIN IN AGING THE BODY AND DEATH
  ARE ALWAYS A THREAT
• THE FEELING OF A GULF AND DISTANCE FROM GOD.

109
Consequences of the fall.

• 1. Eyes were opened. ---Gen. 37. And the eyes
  of them both were openedthe new knowledge came
  and brought
• 2. Knowledge of guilt shame. They knew they
  were naked (loss of innocence) and they sewed
  fig leaves together, and made themselves
  aprons---Even still, criminals cover their faces
  before the camera
• 3. Neither wanted to accept responsibility for
  their sin.
• MAN CANNOT COVER HIS SIN WITH FLIMSY EXCUSES
  BEFORE GOD'S ALL SEEING EYE.

110
IN THE WAKE OF SIN. GODS LOVE PROMISES GRACE IN
THE PROTOEVANGELION

• 315. THE OLDEST GOSPEL
• 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.
• HERE WE HAVE
• 1. HER SEEDVIRGIN BIRTH
• 2. BRUISE THY HEAD..DEFEAT OF SATAN
• 3. BRUISE HIS HEEL..SUFFERING SAVIOR.

111
ADEQUATE COVERING FOR THEIR NEW CONSCIENCE OF
NAKEDNESS WAS THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD OF AN
INNOCENT ANIMALTHEIR FIRST EXPERIENCE OF A DEATH

• 321. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the
  Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
• 1. Self covering was inadequate
• 2. Blood was shed and death occurred
• 3. Rom. 323 The wages of sin is death.
• 4. Sin is awesome in its effects on society.

112
THE EXCOMMUNICATION FROM EDEN AND THE GULF THAT
SIN CREATES BETWEEN GOD AND MAN

• 322 And now, lest he put forth his hand, and
  take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live
  for ever 23. Therefore the Lord God sent him
  forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground
  from whence he was taken.
• 324. So he drove out the man and he placed at
  the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a
  flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the
  way of the tree of life.

113
WHERE IS THE TREE OF LIFE NOW?

• Rev. 27. He that hath an ear, let him hear what
  the Spirit saith unto the churches To him that
  overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of
  life, which is in the midst of the paradise of
  God.
• Rev. 2214. Blessed are they that do his
  commandments, that they may have right to the
  tree of life, and may enter in through the gates
  into the city.

114
TO RETURN TO THE TREE OF LIFE ONE MUST BE SLAIN
BY THE SWORD OF GODS WORD.

• GEN. 324 He placed at the east of the garden of
  Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned
  every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
• 12. For the word of God is quick, and powerful,
  and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing
  even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit,
  and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner
  of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

115
WHEN ONE BELIEVES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD
RAISED FROM THE DEAD IT IS SAID THAT HE IS CUT
TO THE HEART) . i.e. SPIRITUALLY SLAIN (REPENTS
IN SORROW)

• ACTS 237. Now when they heard this, they were
  pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and
  to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
  what shall we do?
• Matthew 54 Blessed are they that mourn for
  they shall be comforted.
• Rom. 67. For he that is dead is freed from
  sin.
• 8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe
  that we shall also live with him

116
THE SWORD (GOSPEL) PIERCES THE HEART, SLAYING THE
SINNER, AND THEN HE IS BURIED WITH CHRIST IN
BAPTISM

• 4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism
  into death that like as Christ was raised up
  from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
  we also should walk in newness of life.
• 5. For if we have been planted together in the
  likeness of his death, we shall be also in the
  likeness of his resurrection
• 6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified
  with him, that the body of sin might be
  destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve
  sin.
• 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin.

From the Beginning of History

• THE BLESSING AND THE CURSE MOTIF
• CO-EXIST IN TWO SEEDS

121
TWO SEEDS SHALL CO-EXIST
THE WOMANS SEED
THE SERPENTS SEED

• THAT WILL BRING THE PROMISED BLESSING OF JESUS
  (SALVATION) TO THE EARTH. THIS SEED AHS THE
  BLESSING OF DIVINE GRACE WHICH OVER-
• COMES DEATH BY RESURRECTING THE BELIEVER FROM
  THE DEAD..

• THAT WILL BE DEDICATED TO MOCK GODS PROMISE AND
  PREVENT THE DIVINE PROMISE.. THIS SEED HAS THE
  POWER OF THE CURSE OF DEATH WHICH WILL BRUISE THE
  HEEL OF THE WOMANS SEED

WAR
122
THIS IS A WAR BETWEEN

• GOOD AND EVIL
• HONESTY AND DECEIT
• THE SPIRITUAL AND THE MATERIAL
• GOD AND SATAN
• BELIEVER'S IN THE WORD ---SEED OF BLESSING
• BELIEVER'S IN THE LIE -- SEED OF CURSING

123
THEY HAVE DIFFERENT GOALS

• The unbelieving seed defines success in terms of
  physical possessionsgod of this world.
• Luke 1219. And I will say to my soul, Soul,
  thou hast much goods laid up for many years take
  thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.

• The faith seed defines success in terms of God,
  spiritual possessions, eternal life.
• Matt. 619-20 Lay not up for yourselves treasures
  upon the earth---but lay up for yourselves
  treasures in heaven,

124
JESUS NO ONE CAN BE ON BOTH SIDES

• Matthew 24. No man can serve two masters for
  either he will hate the one, and love the other
  or else he will hold to one, and despise the
  other.

125
WHAT IS AT STAKE

• The saving of Man Big Quest. Is God Able to
  Fulfill His promised?
• Can the curse of sin prevent the blessing from
  happening?
• Can Satan, using his power to deceive man with
  his power of sinful lies and murder, mock God?
• The Pentateuch (and entire Bible) demonstrates
  that flood, famine, earthly governments or
  pestilence can prevent Gods from fulfilling His
  promise. Obstacles will only becomes the divine
  means for protecting the blessing

126
SERPENTS SEED WILL BRUISE THE PROMISED SEEDS
HEEL

• 315. 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.
• THE BLESSING WILL BE WITH THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT AT
  THE EXPENSE OF SUFFERING.
• Matt. 5 11. Blessed are ye, when men shall
  revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all
  manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
  12. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad for great is
  your reward in heaven for so persecuted they the
  prophets which were before you.

127
HISTORY BEGINS TO UNFOLD WITH EXAMPLES OF THE
TWO SEEDS
ALL IN ONE OF TWO SEEDS
FROM CAIN ABEL
TO LAST SOULS

• CAIN (Flesh)
• Gen. 45. But unto Cain and to his offering he
  had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his
  countenance fell.
• I John 312. Not as Cain, who was of that
  wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore
  slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and
  his brother's righteous.

• ABEL (Spirit))
• Heb. 114. By faith Abel offered unto God a
  more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he
  obtained witness that he was righteous, God
  testifying of his gifts

128
Cains Sin Includes All Sin

• CAIN VIOLATED TWO BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DIVINITY
  AND BROTHERHOOD
• Dt. 6 5. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
  with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and
  with all thy might.
• He worshipped as he pleased, and not as it
  pleased God.
• Lev. 1918 Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
  thyself
• He killed his brother because his worship was
  acceptable and his were not.

129
THE ATTITUDE OF CAIN SHOWS THE DARK MENTALITY OF
THE SERPENTS SEED

• 49. And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel
  thy brother? And he said, I know not am I my
  brother's keeper?
• To Adam 39 Where art thou?
• To Cain 49 Where is thy brother?
• I JNO. 2 10. He that loveth his brother abideth
  in the light, and there is none occasion of
  stumbling in him. 11. But he that hateth his
  brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness,
  and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that
  darkness hath blinded his eyes.

130
THE PENTATEUCH ILLUSTRATES THAT THE WAGES OF SIN
IS DEATH

• Gen. 4 16. And Cain went out from the presence
  of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the
  east of Eden. In 7 generations from Adam are
  found living by the law of the jungle.
• Adam-Cain-Enoch-Irad-Mehujael-Methusael-Lamech.
• Polygamy begins 423-24 And Lamech took unto him
  two wives I have slain a man to my wounding,
  and a young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be
  avenged sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and
  sevenfold.
• SEVEN GENERATION ENDS THE TOLDOT OF CAIN

131
NOW THE RECORD SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FAITH
SEED IN 7 GENERATION IN THE TOLDOT OF ADAM VIA
SETH

• And Adam - Seth- Enos - Cainan Mahalaleel-
  Cainan - Jared eight hundred and thirty years,
  and begat sons and daughters - Enoch
• 1922. And Enoch walked with God and he was
  not for God took him.
• Heb. 115. By faith Enoch was translated that
  he should not see death and was not found,
  because God had translated him for before his
  translation he had this testimony, that he
  pleased God.

132
THE EVIDENCE OF HISTORY

• FOR THE SEED THAT CHOOSES TO WALK LIKE CAINS
  TOLDOT (AFTER THE FLESH AND NOT AFTER THE
  PROMISE) THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH--- Rom 623
