What happened in the Garden of Eden? Was it really centered around Eve eating a apple, or does the apple symbolise something else? So now let us go to the Garden of Eden with the knowledge gained from the Trees being Nations study and see what happened there.
GENESIS 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Here the Lord says that HE made certain trees to grow that were pleasant etc. But please note that He states that the Tree of Life and the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil were also there and not that the Lord God made them to grow. This subtle difference becomes very important later on…
GENESIS 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat…”
Now remembering that trees are symbolic of people let’s look at the word “eat”. Logically speaking people don’t eat people on a daily basis!So we know this is also a metaphor for something else. Let’s assume for now it is of a sexual nature especially if we look at the word ” touch”. If you have a Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance you can look with me.
Definition of ” touch from the Hebrew original text H5060″ (‘naw-gah’) – A primitive root; properly to touch, that is, lay the hand upon (for any purpose; euphemistically, to lie with a woman)
So “touch” is to literally touch or lay with, which is sexual
. GENESIS 3:3 “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.“
GENESIS 2:17 “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.”
There is our sin unto death! Remember: HEB 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today and for ever.
So again, applying logic, I know of no tree that has the knowledge of anything least of all good and evil, do you? Right, so Adam and Eve may “eat” (partake) of all the other trees except this tree with the knowledge of good and evil.
GENESIS 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.
We know that this serpent is also symbolism for someone and not an actual snake as we know logically speaking a snake cannot be subtle (conniving, manipulative) or speak.
REVELATION 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years…
So now we know that “serpent” is another name for Satan. Now where people get the idea that that the fruit on this specific tree was an apple, I have no idea. The apple tree is actually a symbolism for the apple of His eye, being the people of Judah. Please note how Eve actually “desired” this tree and a tree was able to “make one wise”. Again not possible from any tree or fruit I know of, but this tree definitely has human characteristics.
GENESIS 3:6 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 took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Please note that after Adam and Eve “ate” of this tree, (committed this sin) they where immediately ashamed of their bodies. This is a clear indication that their sin was of a sexual nature as they did not cover their mouths or any other body part. Satan had beguiled them to commit a sexually immoral act with a people God forbade them to but Satan approved of. I will show how the Bible backs this up further in this discussion.
GENESIS 3:7 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.
“aprons”comes from the original Hebrew translation H2290 Strongs - a belt (for the waist): - apron, armour, gird (-le).
We now need to ask ourselves why God, if he created all the trees (nations), would he not allow Adam and Eve to “touch” (lay with) all the fruit (people)? Here lies our answer. God says to Satan;
GENESIS 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.
So Satan has a seed? And yes, it is a physical seed. See the following scriptures.
GENESIS 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: “For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.”
GENESIS 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.
LEVITICUS 12:2 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child...
LEVITICUS 15:16 And if any man’s seed of copulation go out from
him… Yes, so Satan DOES have a seed and it must be in human form, as we now know trees are people and understand that we sin physically here on earth. Let’s look at this parable and see if it makes more sense now.
MATTHEW 13:24 – 30 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man (God) which sowed good seed(God’s offspring) in his field: but while men slept, his enemy (Satan) came and sowed tares (Satan’s Seed) among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit( people), then appeared the tares( Satan’s seed) also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, “Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares?” (where do the other people come from?) He said unto them, “An enemy ( Satan) hath done this.” The servants said unto him, “Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?” But he said, “Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares ( Satan’s seed), ye root up also the wheat ( God’s seed) with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, ‘Gather ye together first the tares ( Satan’s seed) , and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat ( God’s seed) into my barn.’”
And if you think I’m wrong let us hear it in Jesus’s own words.
MATTHEW 13:37 – 40 He answered and said unto them, “He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.”
Heavenly Father, we thank you that your Bible is a living Word to us. Thank you that we do not have to guess what you mean but that the Word is perfect in itself and gives it’s own definitions. All we need to do is seek and we will find. We thank you Father in Jesus name ! AMEN Please go to the next topic in this series “Other people in Eden”
The Fact of the matter Is that Adam and Eve had sex with Satan ‘Seed’ not with with Satan. The problem is that over hundreds of years we have been programed by tradition to believe that Only God Can Create. Without a shred of evidence for this belief. The Word Says “I created all things” Things are not People. Things allude to situations. I create Peace and Evil. These are not people but are situations. As Satan is the great imitator he jumped on the band wagon and said I can do that to in the beginning Genesis 1. When God Created Man Satan with Gods permission did exactly the Same. God only takes responsibility for the white creation of Man, RED RUDDY able to blush. As there were only three original races on this earth White Black and Yellow Satan must be responsible for the races of color. That is why Adam /man was warned not to eat of Satan’s creation. When God addressed Satan He Said “Now Your Seed” so Satan has seed!! The Unforgiven sin in the Garden was racial integration That is why the Law says that A bastard (a hybrid or one of mixed blood a mongrel shall never enter into the congregation of the Lord not even unto his tenth generation forever. God permits evil to abound because He gives his Creation Choice . It is the choices that we make after He commands, that opens His door to us But the choice is always ours.
