If God's Creation was perfect until Eve was deceived, how did the serpent come into the Garden to begin with? Why was he (Satan?) permitted access to God's brand new Miracle?
If all is preordained (is all preordained?), was man's downfall known from 'Let there be light?'
If yes, why?
The word good in Hebrew is tove, which can also mean to function according to purpose. So God's creation was functioning according to purpose.
Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
The knowledge of evil was hidden from man to protect us from sin. Sin leads to death. We became like God in the sense that we knew good and evil.
The first word in the Bible is beresheet (
בראשית). If we look at the Hebrew picture of this word we see the following:
ב beyt – house/home
ר resh – head / head of
א aleph - all power / all strength
ש shin – divine protection / all-consuming fire
י yud – hand
ת tav – sign of a cross
בר bar in Daniel 3-25 Son
ברא berah means create, form of shape
שי shayee in Psalm 68-29 translated as presents / gifts
שית sheet in Genesis 4-25 translated as appoint
Now if we put it all together we get:
“Elohim will build/create (berah) a house, He will appoint his son as the head of the house. He will have all power/ all strength is in his hands for divine protection. He will be an all-consuming fire / gift and his sign will be a cross.”
You can decide yourself if this is preordained or unplanned...
