Genesis 2: 18-22

( It is not good that the man should be alone ) 『 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 out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 』 (In Genesis 2: 18-22) 『 It is not good for a person to live alone 』 Living alone is lonely It's not alone, it's "one part." The word "good" in "Not Good" refers to the goo...

Genesis 2: 23-24

( she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. )   In Genesis 2: 23-24 『 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.   Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 』 Adam says, 『 she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 』 The man is Adam and the symbol of Christ. Woman means all the people who have gone from God to the world through Adam. In Genesis 3:21, Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. The ribs mean a paired door, and the word "flesh" means every body with breath. In Genesis 6: 3 『 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. 』 In 6:12 『 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his w...

Genesis 2:25

T hey were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed 『 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed. 』 (Genesis 2:25) Being "not ashamed" means not knowing what is naked. Just as spirit wears the clothes of the spirit in the kingdom of God, so do humans. The fact that they are naked means that they are naked in the world, but that they are not wearing spirit clothes. Because the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, they wore earthen clothing. So they do not know that they have left the kingdom of God. In 2 Corinthians 5: 1-3 『 F or we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.   For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:   If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 』 The dwelling place from heaven is the body of the spirit. Whe...

Genesis 3: 1-4

The snake asked the woman and said   『 N ow the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?   And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die 』 (Genesis 3: 1-4)   The tree that knows the snake and good and evil is connected. It is expressed in Genesis 2: 7 about the Garden of Eden. 『 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 』 A tree that looks beautiful and good will be the tree of life. In 2:16, 『 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 』 ...
