The creation story is critical to understanding what it means to be man, made from the dust, and what it means to be male or female.  We must understand the original fall - why the first man was made from the dust and separated into male and female, and removed from the garden of Eden and from God’s presence – to ensure we don’t make the same mistakes.  Outside the garden of Eden, apart from God, transgressions continued, few found their way back to living under God’s rule and protection but some did and we must know how if we hope to do the same.

The ‘official’ story, Adam being the son of God and Eve a daughter of Adam, is false.  The central theme of the Genesis creation account is separation, light from darkness, waters above from below, the land from the sea and the woman from the man.  The first ‘man’ was male and female as stated in Gen 1: 26 & 27 & 5: 1 & 2.  It is this male & female ‘man’ who named the living creatures, was put to sleep and separated into the man and woman in Gen 2: 19 to 22.  The Hebrew tsela is translated as rib when it means side to make it appear that the first ‘man’ was male, and woman was created for  the man.   In fact, in Gen 2:18 God said “not good be man, make separation to save opposite”, not about making a helper for the man as we’ve been led to believe.

The ‘man’ identified himself as a mighty one (Hebrew ish) in Gen 2:23.  The Hebrew ish is translated as man, men or husband to disquise the fact that they are the seed of Satan who is also identified as a mighty one in Isaiah 14:16.  The man was the mighty one who was with the woman when she was deceived Gen 3:6, was the serpent that deceived the woman, as evidenced by his punishment for having murdered her was the ground being cursed Gen 3: 17 to 19, the same curse Cain received for murdering his brother in Gen 4: 1 to 12. Adam was the first prince of Tyre Ezek 28: 1 to 10, the one who handed rule over to Satan, making him king of the world John 12:31.

When Paul states that sin entered the world through one man and death through sin, so death spread to all men because of sin in Romans 5:12, he is referring specifically to the male human.  The woman was Israel, who in labor and pain would give birth to a son, a male who will rule with a rod of iron Gen 3:16 & Rev 12: 1 to 5. That is why Christ was born a male Rev 12:5, and marries the woman, Israel,  as described in the wedding parable in Matthew 22: 1 – 13.  Jesus, having rejected Satans offer of dominion and glory Luke 4:5 – 8, gave himself for our sins to rescue us according to the will of God Gal 1:4, proved himself worthy of being eternal ruler of all kings of the earth Rev 1: 5 & 6.
