Garden of Eden (Lesson 3): The Conception
July 27th 2011 18:29
So here we are in the 3rd lesson of the Garden of Eden study. In the last lesson we learned that Eve was seduced and she partook of the fruit of Satan. So, let's get into the conception of their sin. Please open your bibles to Genesis 3 and read, then we will return to analyzing of the text.
After God cursed Satan in a metaphorical sense and insulted him, He continued:
*Genesis 3:15
(still speaking to Satan) 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.”
Definitions (in Hebrew) of the original words (of the manuscripts) in this text:
-The word seed, in Hebrew is zera, which means the conception of a child
Note: “her Seed” Seed here is capitalized in the text which is talking about Christ. This was the beginning of the first prophecy: in her blood line Christ would come. Notice the end of that prophecy between Satan's seed and her Seed: “He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.” Further meaning that although Satan would bruise his heels (by nailing Him to the cross), Christ would ultimately bruise his head when He comes to destroy him once and for all.
*Genesis 3:16
To the woman He said: “I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.”
-Here we notice the truth revealed: the result of the real sin committed, that she had conceived from it. Can a woman conceive a child from eating food? No.
-Here is the first mention of the role of a man as the leader, to guide and protect so that woman could not be deceived into sin.
