"Why didn't Adam physically die the day he ate of the Tree of Good and Evil?
Genesis
2:17 says,
“But from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely
die."
Why did Adam not die in the 24-hour day that he ate of
the Tree of Good of Evil? The Hebrew word YOM (day) can mean a long period.
· Genesis
5:5, says,
“So, all the days (YOM) that Adam lived were nine
hundred and thirty years, and he died.”
One theologian explains,1 "Hebrew text
uses an idiomatic construction translated as “dying you shall die. It's
exceedingly difficult to defend the position that “dying you shall die” warns
of natural consequence...to interpret Genesis 2:17 as announcing natural
consequences instead of a juridical penalty ignores the overwhelming biblical
evidence." Thus "dying yea shall die” is a Judicial penalty not a
natural consequence. However, it has natural consequences in this case Adam
being banned from the Tree of Life.
· Genesis
3:22
“Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man ...might
stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever.
He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned in every direction
to guard the way to the tree of life.”
God stationed s cherubim angel to not allow Adam back
to the Tree of Life to stop him from living forever. It seems overboard as a
run of the mill angel could accommodate this. This suggests it was to halt another
cherubim (Lucifer) from wanting Adam to live indefinitely in a state of sin. The guarding Cherubim was "loaded for bear" with a “flaming sword.” This was a definite leg up
on Lucifer.
But could such a restorative tree exist? In the last
15 years a new field of science called epigenetics
has been discovered. A fellow colleague said we will be living to 140 years of
age within the next 10 years. Many trials are having promising results.2
When the Lord returns to his Earthly Kingdom his
knowledge will pervade the whole Earth. Keep in mind the Millennial Believers
will still have Adam's sin in their body. But due to the knowledge of the Lord
they will live upwards of a thousand years. This knowledge will likely include
the field of epigenetics so that people can live these ages. Just about every
illness is due not as much to genetic mutations but rather epimutations.
So, could such a tree have epigenetic restorative properties to it? I think so.
But then one must ask why was such a tree necessary
wasn't Adam perfect? Genesis does not record that Adam was perfect but that he
was made "very good."
· Genesis
1:31
“God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very
good.”
God created an entropic
universe for sunlight, food digestion and even friction to climb a hill.
· Romans
8:20
“For the creation was subjected to futility, not
willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hopes.”
This means entropy worked on man's genetics and
epigenetics so God created a solution in the tree. Adam may have eaten from it
for thousands of year's. No way to know.
There is an overlay with Lucifer as he walked in the
garden before Adam fell.
· Ezekiel
28:13
"You were in Eden, the garden of God;.."You
were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there..You were blameless
in your ways From the day you were created Until unrighteousness was found in
you.”
In Job Lucifer speaking as a ghost tells Bildad thru
Eliphaz:
· Job
25:4
"If even the moon has no brightness and the stars
are not pure in His sight.”
Perhaps Lucifer did not like the entropic affects in
"his garden.” For ages Lucifer witnessed mass extinctions. Maybe he didn't
like this.
Adam was made to take over and further God's plan of
grace to defeat Lucifer. When Lucifer and Adam fell neither ruled the garden
rather Lucifer did rule the world.
· Job
1:7
The Lord said to Satan, "From where do you
come?" Then Satan answered the Lord and said, "From roaming about on
the earth and walking around on it.
The new heaven will not be entropic.
· Revelation
21:1
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the
first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.
Looking at the rivers around Eden many think it's at
the bottom of the once dry Persian Gulf. Scientist feel rapid glacial melting
did this. I personally think a mega tsunami helped suddenly flood this area.
Might explain a boat traveling 700 miles from the Indian Ocean’s "ring of
fire” where huge undersea tsunami causing earthquakes arise.
An incredible recent article concludes all man and 9
of 10 animals came from one pair each. The lead scientist said, "I fought
against this conclusion.”4
I wonder why? Can't have genetic proof of Noah and the
animals can we!
When you look at the genealogies of the antediluvian civilization,
they all lived about the same amount of time usually 800-900 years. If Adam's
sin was especially heinous, he should have not lived the same amount of time as
the rest, but he did. The only thing he had in common with the rest of these
people is that they did not have access to the Tree of Life.
During the Millennium ten gentiles will hold to the
coat of a Jewish person just so they can present themselves before the Lord.
After they are cleansed by a Sacrifice possibly by David, they will be able to
present themselves to the Lord.
· Ezekiel
45:22
“On that day the prince (David?) shall provide for
himself and all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.”
You have to know that one of the first scientists in
line will ask Jesus for the equation to combine general
relativity with quantum
mechanics -The
Theory of Everything. I'm guessing it will be more elegant
than Dirac’s
equation. I'm also guessing that God will instantly create a
website called Godepedia that answers all these questions. It could happen.
It's of note when scientists study founder effects
on populations like salmon they've noticed that the original pair that is
separated from the others will have accelerated aging.3 This is also
due to epigenetics not having the full compliment of genetic alleles to act
upon. Epimutations causes faster aging and disease shows up. This would explain
that after Noah lifetimes of people fell dramatically and consistently.
When Jesus rules
the earth in his kingdom water will flow from Jerusalem’s Temple
Mount and fishermen will line the banks of the
Dead Sea.
Ezekiel
47:9
“It
will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where
the river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters
go there and the others become fresh; so, everything will live where the river
goes.”
Astonishing
enough folks will start to resent Christ from the beginning culminating in the
Gog and Magog revolution.
· Zechariah 14:17
“And
it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to
Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, there will be no rain on them.”
Apparently
incredible prosperity with no aging or wars will be lost on many.
So,
if by drinking the water from the temple or by new medical treatments due to
the knowledge of God the millennial people will approach Adams original state.
They will have in effect a new tree of life. Of course there will be a new Tree
of Life in the new heaven not for aging rather to heal the nations.
· Revelation 22:2
“..On
either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit,
yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing
of the nations.”
Likely
due to the effects of remembering the entropic sinful universe they came from
Jesus will:
· Revelation 21:4
“And
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any
death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first
things have passed away.”
Just
like Harry Potter Voldemort (Lucifer’s) name will never be mentioned or
remembered. Lucifer has no personal name for humans. All his work and name will
be forgotten.
But
a long physical life is not the answer. When Lucifer is released, folks
numbering as the "sands of the sea” will once and for all revolt against
God. It doesn’t end well for them.
· Revelation 20:8-9
“and
will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the
earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them
is like the sand of the seashore.
“And
they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the
saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
The
ultimately cure for Adams sin is a new eternal body given to those who believe.
It's as available as asking for a drink of water.
· Revelation 21:6
“Then
He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning
and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of
life without cost."
