Act one , the creation and fall


“The man he made for glory , apart from sin and shame

to bear his righteous image , and to praise his holy name

to live with him in Eden , eat from the tree of life

but then came there temptations , to adams and his wife

“thou shalt not die ! Twill make you wise “ , those subtle lies were said

beguiled by the serpents snare , till they were surely dead

And so thier eyes were opened , this knowledge now they knew

Good and evil , sin and death , those aweful things now true

then driven out from Eden , to dwell in toil and strife

Until the day along times way , sins curse would take thier life. “

act two the dilemma of darkness lost hope

“the lord looked down from heaven , upon the sons of men

to see if one was worthy , but all of them had sin

his eyes they searched the ends of earth , he saw that there was none

no man to intercede for them , none righteous , no not one “

They all had sinned and fallen , stained garments now they wore

they stumbled blind in darkness , lost judgement more and more

from high above he saw it displeased in what he’d found

thier light was dim , thier judgement lost , the truth cast to the ground

there’s none to intercede for them , no one to bear my name

there’s none to shine a light for those in shadows , lost in shame

Act three the light of the world

“so who will go and save them ? Who can go for me ?

to shine my light in darkness , and save from what shall be ? “

as blind men without judgement they stumble on in sin

they wait for light and mercy , and walk in darkness then

they ask for truth and justice , to know my ways so clear

then cast aside each judgement , they do not want to hear

he will be born of Judah , a virgin called his name

Emmanuel , the mighty God , the Father all the same.

the light has dawned the morning , and now we see the son

the prince of peace , the counsellor , the King and all are one”

“The man he made for glory , apart from sin and shame

to bear his righteous image , and to praise his holy name

to live with him in Eden , eat from the tree of life”

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:26

“And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. …And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. …And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:15, 18, 25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:16‬ ‭

but then came there temptations , to adams and his wife

“thou shalt not die ! Twill make you wise “ , those subtle lies were said

beguiled by the serpents snare , till they were surely dead

And so thier eyes were opened , this knowledge now they knew

Good and evil , sin and death , those aweful things now true

then driven out from Eden , to dwell in toil and strife

Until the day along times way , sins curse would take thier life. “

“And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

…And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

…And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

…..Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3:2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 16-17, 19, 24‬


Because of mans transgression the order of creation is thrown off course because mans dominion went off course and followed satans advice rather than Gods true word

so from this

“And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭1:31‬ ‭

And this

“And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

to this

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭3:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and then this the first and second man ever born

“And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

and eventually because of the first transgression and the course it set mankknd on , this

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.

And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭6:5-6, 12-13‬ ‭

by chaoter Six of the Bible the effect of mankknd eating the fruit has run it’s course and evil has won out through the flesh of mankind

“And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭6:3‬ ‭

we ended up as fleshly creatures following the desires of the flesh like animals do like beasts we became driven by carnality and sensual feeling rather than the spiritual truths from God that offer the tree of eternal life , we instead followed the rule of this is world choosing to make our own good and evil moral compass and we were cursed all of Adam and eves children were still inside their bodies when they were cursed and so we see thier first child murder thier second because of his inner jealousy he follows this new corrupt knowledge in him to kill his brother who’s following the good in him and resisting the evil

It reminds me of the verses…. And who is worthy to open the seal? Yes Jesus worthy of all honor, Glory, and praise. Now we know the great love of our Father!

The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there were any that did understand, And seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: There is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭14:2-

“-
“For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them; in transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor:

therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭59:12-16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: and the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭29:11-14‬ ‭KJV‬‬


“And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭5:4-6‬ ‭KJV‬‬
