THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST
(CHAPTER 7)
Genesis 3:23
Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
After Adam had fallen and was made to leave the Garden of Eden, he now walked in a lower state of what he once was and was like every other man on Earth at that time. Adam was no longer Ruler and Governor of the Garden of Eden with great power, authority and knowledge. This was because he had disobeyed God by obtaining knowledge (eating) from the one Kingdom that God told him not to eat from.
Genesis 2:16-17
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 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.
To understand what Adam was doing, he was not eating an apple off of a tree as this is a child-like thinking, however, many Christians have been taught this in Sunday School when they were a kid. When we were a “child”, we thought as a “child” but no more, so let’s go higher in our thinking and this will take us to a scripture that reveals to us what a “Tree” actually represents:
Judges 9:8
The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us.
Judges 9:8-15 reveals to us what a Tree actually means in scripture. A “Tree” represents a “Kingdom” and you can apply this to the New Testament where Jesus curses the “Fig Tree” which meant he was cursing an entire Kingdom.
A “Tree” can also be represented as a “Type and Shadow” of a “man” as stated in Mark 8:24. Things are not what they seem to be in scripture as meanings are hidden until a Christian grows enough to understand them and the Holy Ghost reveals it which is the way God designed the Bible!
Genesis 2:16
And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
So, Adam was a ruler of many Kingdoms (Trees) within the Garden of Eden and traveled to each Kingdom to partake of that Kingdom’s “Knowledge” because “Fruit” represents Knowledge. (Luke 6:43-45, St John 15:2-5, Gal. 5:22, Heb.13:15)
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.
God always works in Knowledge which we can readily see by the amount of “Knowledge” he gave us in the Bible alone. God approved of all the “Knowledge” that came out of these “Trees” in the Garden except for one Tree which was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and he forbade Adam from receiving it. Adam was a ruler and he partook of what he ruled over and God placed him over the Garden of Eden to protect and to oversee it, however, he failed in this. The Bible doesn’t say how long Adam was in the Garden of Eden until the day he fell, however, it could of been millions and millions of years.
Once Adam fell, we see that he was mind wiped by God as he could not of entered onto this Earth with the Knowledge that he previously possessed because it was a higher state of Knowledge and he was now occupying a far lower position.
Genesis 3:21
Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
He went from having a glorified body that could travel to different dimensional “Kingdoms” and not die, too having to watch God teach him and his wife how to make some clothing out of leather. Talk about the shame of falling to such a low level from where he had been and it would have been unbearable had he not been mind wiped, however, this was not the reason he was mind wiped. If he had not been mind wiped than he would have still possessed the supernatural Knowledge that could of advanced time and technology way before time for the people he was forced to dwell with as these were the same people that he ruled over previously. You may be saying that this certainly can’t be true? Than how do you place this scripture:
Genesis 3:24
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.
The “Knowledge” and the “Power of Access and the Ability to Travel” was so great in the Garden of Eden that if any man was able to get back into it, he could of obtained Knowledge from the Tree of Life and lived forever and traveled to other dimensions.
Adam didn’t just rule over the Garden of Eden, he had an actual right to partake of any of those Kingdoms within the Garden, except one. I would say that this was one serious position of responsibility and authority and it makes you wonder why Adam never partook of the Tree of Life before he ate of the Knowledge of the Tree of Good and Evil, however, only God knows why.
The reason I have discussed all of this, is so that I can give you idea of what awaited Adam when he exited the Garden of Eden. Other beings were watching him and one of those beings was Satan and he had already been kicked out of Heaven after his rebellion and was waiting for his chance to gain power. Let’s look at this scripture to see the impact of “man” in God’s plan:
Hebrews 2:6-7
6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
We see from this scripture that there was anger, frustration, jealously, envy and even bewilderment at God for creating “man” in his image and his likeness and than placing “man” over the works of his hands.
This meant that man was “a target” because he was given positioning and power when he was created and this scripture (Heb 2:6-7) reveals the animosity in Heaven and in all of creation when “man” was announced as the future of God Almighty. If you really want to know the “Truth,” satan’s rebellion in Heaven was because of man! When “The Revelation of Jesus Christ” was revealed, it revealed God’s plan for this ‘New Creation” which was “man” and satan was absolutely furious because our position would be higher than his positioning. How is that for “real truth”! Satan began preparations for taking over Heaven soon after he heard that “man” was going to have a higher position than him and his rebellion came about prior to Gen 1:2.
Now, I can tell you that when Adam fell, satan was waiting for him when Adam came out of the Garden of Eden into his fallen state. And guess what, satan took from Adam the power that Adam still possessed and that was control of the first and second Heaven and the power of man’s creation. The third Heaven is where God the Father resides, however, the first and second Heaven were owned by “man” and man possessed them. Because Adam was in his weakened, fallen state, he was not able to defend himself against satan and he subsequently took everything from him and this was how satan became the god or prince of this world (St. John 14:30, 2 Cor 4:4).
