I also thought it was important to note that the devil deceives by telling us that gods wrath is not real. And that we were created to be naked! What a strange thought to think we’d all be walking around naked not thinking anything weird of it if it weren’t for the fall of mankind! Also it’s important to remember that Eve was deceived and not Adam. Verse 15 where God says “He will strike your head and you will strike his heel” that’s referencing Jesus so that’s exciting. When god was describing eves punishment of painful labor he also mentions “your desire will be for your husband yet he will rule over you.” And i think that part is overlooked a lot in our culture. It’s also so interesting that thorns and thistles weren’t created until the fall! But the biggest aha moment I had this time was verse 22 when he says we must not eat from the tree of life so we won’t eat and live forever and I thought 💡 what if when we enter heaven with him the feast he will have prepared for us will be of the fruit of that tree and that is what will make us live forever?? But it’s just my imagination I doubt that’s biblical truth! Lol also when Adam and Eve was sent away from the garden and “drove man out” it’s important to understand that we’ve been in exile from the promised land ever since and are living in exile until Jesus returns to let us re-enter that promise with god.
I will much rather obey gods will every day and have the hope of that promise than follow my own dreams ever
