Nah….I think we’ve misunderstood “Garden of Eden” & that story all this time. We’ve always associated it to be an Apple they ate from the tree but after a spiritual awakening this past weekend.. I don’t think that’s the case.
“So the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all cattle, And more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, And you shall eat dust All the days of your life. And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.””
Genesis 3:14-15 NKJV
The bolded is key. If I’m interpreting correctly, Eve got pregnant with the Serpents seed(child). It had nothing to do with an apple or fruit. “We are born into sin” makes all the sense in the world when we think of it in that regard. Eve then brings Adam into the mix & now she’s preggers with 2 seeds hence God saying “Your seed,” still addressing the Serpent, & “her seed,” meaning Eve.
So in knowing that, first born is who? Cain(Serpents seed) which we all know is wicked & murders Abel(Adam’s seed) & he’s then banished where he goes to the Land of Nod where he already knows who his wife is..
We’re in a spiritual warfare due to this. Get right with Christ if you haven’t already.
“And I will put enmity Between you and the woman”: hostility between them because the serpent purposely fooled/deceived Eve. Basically, they will be ops forever.
“And between your seed and her Seed”: Enmity between the serpent’s offspring meaning future snakes, and the woman’s (Eve’s) offspring meaning the human race.
“He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel”: Snakes nip/bite at our feet as we’re walking in nature, and we have to cut off their heads to kill them.
