Ok, I have two questions from a study in Genesis. We were discussing creation and Adam and Eve in our Wednesday bible study and as we were reading, two things came to my attention.
1 - Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (first day)
Now, knowing that God didn't create the sun and moon until the 4th day, this light would not be the sun. However, it could be the Son! I was thinking about the passage in Revelation 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. Could it be then, that when God created light on day one, he illuminated himself? That this same light would be the light in the new heaven and earth?
2 - Genesis 3:19 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.
Now in this one, the "shalt thou eat bread" came to my attention. Well, up to the point where that jumped out, I assumed that Adam and Eve pretty much ate raw foods, fruit, nuts, etc. The way that statement reads to me however is that they ate bread before but didn't need to cook it. If it is talking about bread as we know it, mixing grain, water, and some binding agent, and not just a generic term for food in general, what bread did they eat before? I was wondering, could it have been the same as the manna sent to Moses and the Israelites in the desert in Exodus 16?
Thoughts?
