(Gen 1:1-4) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [fig. misery, destruction, death, ignorance, sorrow, wickedness] was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided [separated] the light from the darkness. 2. Commentary: “good” only exists in a comparative-contrasting relationship to its opposite of “evil.” In the garden of Eden, before iniquity was found in Adam and Woman, they neither knew nor experienced good or evil. They were in bliss (Dict: 1. supreme happiness or delight. 2. Theol. the joy of heaven). 3. Commentary: “God divided the light from the darkness.” Before this moment in time, light and darkness were mingled together, and at this time God unmingled them. (Gen 2:16,17) And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 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. 1. Commentary: Lucifer (Heb: son of the morning; dawn) was called by God “the anointed cherub that covereth… O covering cherub… till iniquity [Heb: evil: unrighteousness, wickedness] was found in thee.” (Ezek 28:12-19). Thereafter Lucifer fell to earth, in fact he became the earth (Heb: wilderness), and received a name change that reflects his changed character; he is now called Satan (Heb: the arch-enemy of good: adversary). “And the LORD God formed man of the [dry] dust of the ground” (Gen 2:7) or earth (wilderness; please note the Satanic lineage), and then “the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.” (Gen 2:8). After man fell, “the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.” (Gen 3:23). Where did Woman come from? Please follow the lineage (syn: ancestry, family tree). 2. (Heb 12:14-16) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness [syn: rebellion, disobedience] springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled [contaminated (profaned, polluted)]; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. [Where did this root of bitterness come from?] 3. Commentary: The presence of Lucifer-Satan in the garden of Eden is symbolized by the tree of knowledge of good (Lucifer’s knowledge) and evil (Satan’s knowledge) [light and darkness] which is mingled into one fruit. This mingling into one fruit is the exact opposite of what God had previously done by dividing (unmingling) the light from the darkness (Gen 1:4). The mingled fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil carries in its seed the root of bitterness, rebellion, disobedience that Lucifer-Satan carried down from Heaven in response to his ejection (fall) (a vastly simplified explanation but correct for our current purpose). The firstborn child of Adam and Eve (name changed from Woman) was Cain who displayed this same root of bitterness, rebellion, disobedience that he inherited from his father and mother, as much later did Esau, and much later Mary (Gk: rebellious /// bitterness) the mother of Jesus in the New Testament. The latter is most notably exemplified in Roman Catholicism by false (rebellious /// bitterness and disobedient) doctrines concerning Mary. 4. Commentary: Please note that in the garden of Eden, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil were both outside of Adam and Woman, but everything in the garden was under the covering of God. Whereas, when Adam and Eve were ejected (fell) from the garden of Eden and into the world, and everything in the world is under the covering of Satan who is “the god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4), and the tree of knowledge of good and evil is within Adam and Eve. Why? Well, they sinned (disobeyed, rebelled) against God and therefore were ejected from and lost the covering blessing or covering hedge (Heb: for their formation, protection, and restraint: Job 1:10) of God, and they carried the seed of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil with it's root of bitterness with them, inside them, into the world and under the covering (“O covering cherub”) of Satan. THE WORLD (Isa 64:6) But we are all as an unclean thing [because we are “of the earth, earthy” 1 Cor 15:47 – Satanic lineage derived from “the (dry) dust of the ground”], and all our righteousnesses are [covering us] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf [of a tree]; and our iniquities [perversities, evils: faults, sins], like the wind, have taken us away [and only God can save us]. 1. (John 2:23-25) Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did. But Jesus did not commit himself [have faith in, credit: believe] unto them, because he knew [understood (intimately)] all men, And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man. [What was in man? The root of bitterness!] 2. (Rom 10:17) So then faith cometh by hearing [not by seeing], and hearing by the word of God. (John 3:3) Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again [from above], he cannot see the kingdom of God. 1. (Isa 11:10) And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign [banner, pole, sign] of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious. 2. (Rom 15:12) And again, Isaiah saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust. [Who is the root of Jesse?] 3. (Isa 61:10) I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. 4. (Rom 12:1-2) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed [metamorphoo; ("metamorphosed") transformed, changed, transfigured] by the renewing [renovation: restoration] of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. “A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH” (Rev 21:1) (Oba 1:21) And saviours shall come up on mount[ain] Zion to judge the mount[ain] of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S. [In what form might these “saviours” appear as?] (Rev 22:1-4) And he showed me a pure river of water of life [the Holy Spirit], clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it [1 location], and on either side of the river [2 more locations], was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. PROPHECY FULFILLED (Psa 1:1-3) Blessed [happiness; how happy!] is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Who unmingled?
