Behind The Story

The Man, the Woman versus the Enemy

The Man (People), the Woman (Earth), versus the Enemy (Serpent).

In the beginning all things are in good condition according to the plan God wanted. Everything he has created has its purpose. Every single piece of word is meant for something. And every word corresponds to its purpose.

The special being that was created last of all creation was a Man, and followed by his opposite physical and partner that was called a Woman. They were both made of dirt for God wanted to create a touchable form of his image, and for God create man into his own image. God created all things and let man rule over them as the kingdom of heaven ruled by king also who the Lord of all Spirit is kind of being. And human he created under his authority by also under authority of his chosen being that is now called the Christ, the one who saves fallen human souls if they call for him as their Savior as their Lord Jesus, by repenting their sins since they have started knowing all things. Because no man has no sins since the beginning, for the fruit the first father and mother of all have eaten and gave them understanding of what is right and what is wrong, but no man can save himself alone. Only the way is repentance.

The man was made of dirt into flesh through God's breathe, that all human beings became spiritually connected to God, the father of all creation. We are connected to him whether what we think, is what he also is getting. By these words I assure that he is reading me and I am not afraid to be guided if he wants to send his angel to coach me.

From the book of Genesis, I have read it for so many times and I also read the last book written by John, the Revelation. In the book it explained what happened to the earth after the man had committed the sin.

To Adam he said,
"Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,'
"Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.
It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field.
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."
Genesis 3:17-19 NIV‬

The earth/ground has received a cursed. The Earth is considered a woman, or a country, or nation, or a group of race of people according to the parable of the Revelation. Many translation reading of the book says, it is a church, I say, not a church. For church is the body of the Lord Christ. We, who believers of Jesus Christ are the church, we maybe came from dust but it changes everything the moment you confessed all your sins, you are no longer the dust but a living flesh for eternity. No more death in Jesus' Christ. Now, the Earth has curse. Everything in earth is cursed. Even we are in Christ protection we still commit the so called willful sin because we are still in this earth, not yet transformed. And we are still suffering like the Woman. The Woman in Revelation book is near to deliver her child and travailing in pain.

To the woman he said,
"I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."
Genesis 3:16 NIV

We are part of that pain, and most especially the sinners of the past who once lived and died leaving the errors of their life to the next generation. And we desire or call upon God every time we feel pain, every time we need help, every time we want to, but we forgot to be more dependent to him but instead after every pain we live according to our desire and the nation's need. The Ruler of our lives we ignore most of the time. We forgot that everything in this earth was cursed since the beginning of sin. That if we call upon God, he will willingly serve what we want but not as too much as we need, and, obviously people do not understand that part of life they choose to live wealthy of everything. And that wealthiness is just part of this earth, the cursed earth, the sinner earth, the sinner's realm.

The deceiver was called the Serpent. We all know who he was and what was he according also to what people think he is. In children's book and storytelling, the serpent was a picture of snake of whatever color they represent of maybe the illustrator just wanted to showcase the very meaning of him. Serpent is just the term used in every translation of the book according to its language. I have never seen or read a translation that is written "snake", because he was not just a simple snake. He is the Great Deceiver, the Father of all Lies, the Fallen One among the hundreds of them, and he became the Adversary of Good, and he was also in so many nations in one name, Satan. He was also a light that turn to darkness. He was punished. They all had been punished.

So the Lord God said to the serpent,
"Because you have done this,
"Cursed are you above all
livestock and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust all the days of your life.
And I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
and you will strike his heel."
Genesis 3:14-15 NIV‬

The word of curse for the serpent is unusual. To others maybe they will read it according to the words of the sentence only. It is called riddle and parable at the same time. You have to separate the phrase of the whole sentence and look carefully to every detail. Just like I have elaborated, the serpent was the fallen one among the hundreds of them, but he is the first who sinned to the earth. Heaven is for spirit beings and Earth is for flesh beings. But because the flesh has the image of God and the spirit of God, we became more different from them. The jealousy starts there. The desire begins to destroy.

If you just observe the words you will understand what I am saying.

The "cursed are you above all" means of all the sinners included the man he the serpent receives the eternal punishment. Serpent means treacherous. Even if we think he is a plain serpent he is not. Only that he was only called serpent because he made a treacherous act in God's creation and trying to destroy the man.

The word "you will eat dust" is not an actual word. The serpent does not eat dust but instead, they eat rats and other small or bigger animals. That word means he will forever be eating the rotten, at wrong doing of his own, of what he desire for the dust is what he can get from it, of who loves the world will be his. Because the ground was cursed and everything in here is part of the curse and everything we see is his now, no longer ours. Only we know the way to eternal life we are no longer be bound in this physical world of his. He wants this since because he envied the man who had flesh and spirit at the same time.

The word "I will put enmity between you and the woman" is not about quarreling the woman and the serpent. The true simple woman cannot win over the power of true but bigger serpent especially if he is a venomous kind. Just like what is written in Revelation 12 that many interpret it as an ordinary. Just like the other words of God, it is parable. In a parabolic picture that needs a deeper understanding. There is no physical dragon or serpent like ever captured by photographs since the invention of all kinds of recording device. Most of the dragon pictures are made fiction according to human imaginations only. And add to that also, never heard of the story in reality about a fight of small serpent over a child human. Any mother or parents will never let their child be put to danger only if the person is having many kinds of reptiles in the house. Not every family of this world has the interest of petting a snake.

The word "between your offspring and hers" is about the separation of good and evil. Good will never be part of the evil, and Evil will never be like to be good.

The word "he - crushed your head, you - strike his heel" means the man who became flesh but was originally a Spirit, and is of the Father of all creation will crushed the Head of all Lies, the Serpent, but the Serpent, he, will strike every followers of the Christ Jesus. So, this means that every good work were attacked by evil every time he had found out and discovered those making good efforts to grab the lost souls of living human. Dead souls but living body moving vessels but empty one.

That's what I wanted to share to all who will read this.

Thank You!

May God bless you and fill you of more understanding. Pick the right food and take it not as filler only.
