Genesis 2:4–25 • The Man, the Woman and Marriage

Amazing teachings🙏🏽 God bless

I have a question god breathed life into adam why not into the eve. Is it that due to her coming from adams flesh? I know it says ahe was made in gods image just as adam.

I need clarification as this has been a point of confusion for me. How can there be no shrubs or plants on the 6th day of creation when in chapter 1 vegetation was made on day 3?

Amen.

Gents..this gave me chills once I saw it I wanted to share this with you.  Jesus prophetic picture to take flesh and be forever joined to the church. 

Genesis 2:21-25 (NKJV) 21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. 
....three things I wanted to highlight in this verse, 1.  Jesus the second Adam was put to death (caused to sleep so the wold could be saved.

2. The root of the word rib indicates to be limp, lame or bent (picture is fallen man) Jesus came to heal the lame.  Woman (the church is then formed from the actions above.  Drawn from the side where water and blood poorer out covering us with his blood by fulfilling his word (blood and water.

3. The word close up signifies to shut up, to join, or deliver up.  What did he close up? the flesh.

Verse 22 Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. (This mirrors, the church as a chased virgin being offered up to Christ. Our groom). 
Verse 23 And Adam said: “This [is] now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 
.... because of Christ sacrifice, the church was born, ..
Verse 24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 
... here is the part that drew me in...

Galatians 4:26 (NKJV) but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.
Jesus left the father in heaven and the Jerusalem in heaven The father and the mother of us all put on human flesh and became one flesh with his bride, (the church, the woman) forevermore

25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

..... because he was sinless in the flesh, both he and the woman that became one flesh with him are unashamed....

In these verses, I see a prophetic picture of Christ, coming from heaven to put on human flesh for us.  "The last Adam" 

Absolutely awesome!

I appreciate these teachings. I've fallen away for a long time, and I'm trying to find my way back.

Thank you pastor

I have benefited much from this awesome man of God 👍🏾 has the older series on Genesis been removed ? I can’t seem to find any of the videos. Is there anywhere else that I can access the older Genesis series ? I loved it ! Thanks. God bless 😊

Gilly wife of mark

Amen praise God

I've been serving at different Calvary Chapel churches for almost 30 years and I have to say Paul is one of my favorite teachers in the movement.

Also, excellent job navigating the topics of roles and definitions of marriage at the end there.
