Answers from Genesis 7The very Hebrew name for "Lord" in the Old Testament-YHWH- means "Eternal" or the God that hasalways, and will always, exist.These concepts are explained in greater detail in ourfree reprint article - "Has God Eternally Existed?"• .. If God took one of Adam's ribs in order to createEve, why don't we find men today with one less rib?"In the 1500s Andreas Vesalius, Doctor of Anatomy,discovered that both men and women had the same numberof ribs. It had long been assumed that because Godhad taken one of Adam's ribs (Gen. 2:21), that all malesAdam's children - had one less rib than women.Vesalius discovered one of God's natural laws. Eachkind oflife was designed by God to pass on to its offspringthe characteristics God decreed for it at creation. Eachmust reproduce "after its kind" (Gen. 1:25).This is a genetic law from creation. Operations andaccidents do not change the genetics - the inheritedcharacteristics - of an individual.For example, male babies are always born uncircumcised-even to circumcised male fathers. And a man wholoses an arm in an accident will not have children bornwith one arm - barring an unrelated birth defect.• uw as the forbidden fruit an apple?"Biblical revelation does not mention the type of fruitAdam and Eve ate when they partook of the "forbiddenfruit." Neither does any secular or profane historicalsource.Actually, it is not important to know the identificationof the forbidden fruit. The spiritual principle ofthe tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the moreimportant point to consider today. It is poignantlyrevealed in our free booklet Why Were You Born?• .. Please explain Genesis 3:14-15.""And the Lord God said unto the serpent,Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed aboveall cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon
8 Answers from Genesisthy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat allthe days of thy life" (verse 14)."And I will put enmity between thee and thewoman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shallbruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel"(verse 15).In verse 14, Satan the devil was manifesting himself asa serpent (Rev. 12:9; 20:2). The expression concerninggoing about on the belly and eating dust is used in otherscriptures as symbolic of abasement (Ps. 72:9; Isa. 49:23;65:25; Micah 7:17). Satan was originally named Lucifer a great archangel in charge of the pre-human earth. Buthe fell (Luke 10:18) in his attempted rebellion againstGod. He was cast back down to this earth and will beabased forever (Rev. 20:1-3; Jude 6).Genesis 3:15 .is the first biblical prophecy about thecoming of a Messiah. It was given just after Adam andEve's first sin.Christ offers deliverance to mankind from the wagesof sin (death) through His death on the cross and subsequentresurrection from the dead (Heb. 9:25-26). However,as Genesis 3:15 says, the serpent would bruiseChrist's heel, figuratively referring to the fact that Satanhad a hand in crucifying Christ (John 13:27).Christ, born of a woman, nullified Satan's power overmen. Hebrews 2:14-15, rightly translated, says: "Sincethen the little children are sharers in blood and flesh,himself [Christ] also in like manner partook of the same;that through death he might bring to nought [or "bruise,"as Gen. 3:15 says] him that had the power of death, that is,the devil; and might deliver all these who from fear ofdeath were all their lifetime subject to bondage."• "Where is the Garden of Eden today?"It's gone! Adam was ordered to dress and keep it (Gen.2:15). He sinned and was driven out. We do not know howlong it existed after the first humans were exiled, but if itwas not destroyed earlier, the flood probably erased alltraces of it.ji
