Genesis 3: 6

it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise

 

『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. 』 (In Genesis 3: 6)

『And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.』(Genesis 2:9) There is only one tree that knows the tree of life and good and evil, but it is divided into the tree of life and the tree of knowing good and evil (the law), like dividing the water above the window and the water under the window. On the surface, it appears to be a tree, but the tree of life seems to be hidden in a tree of knowledge of good and evil. So, the trees and fruits that let you know good and evil are beautiful to look and look good to eat. This expression has the same meaning as Genesis 3: 6.

In Exodus 20:17,『So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.』Here, the expression "Don't be coveted" is the same as the expression “to be look beautiful". In Romans 7: 7『 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 』 In other words, when she sees a tree that knows good and evil, she has a desire to eat (to covet).
"it was pleasant to the eyes," because Satan keeps seeing the fruit of the tree that knows good and evil, so that Eve is judging himself. “To be wise” means “to be thoughtful”. Repeatedly and carefully, it looks coveted. So she felt that she could eat fruit.

In the kingdom of God, angels were deceived by Satan and judged that they could become themselves like God even if they leave God. Although Satan deceived Eve, she judged the fruit on her own, and she became greedy. The apostle Paul says that this greed is a sin. So, the spirits of heaven left God because of greed.

Spirits in God are in perfect condition as they become one with God. However, what they want to be perfect on their own is an attempt to separate themselves from God. That is why they will come out of God and become perfect through their own efforts. The fruit of the tree of life is the fruit that becomes one with God in God. However, the fruit of the tree that knows good and evil is a tree that strives to become like God by trying for itself. It was a tree that was truly covetous enough to be edible, treasured, and wise. The Israelites believe that they can keep the law well and become righteous, for them, the law is a tree that is truly eaten, treasured, and greedy enough to be wise.

It means that God will confine the spirits that have sinned in the kingdom of God, the spirits that have fallen into his righteousness, in the dust, and be justified by themselves. Just as Job is handed over to Satan, God does it to them. God wanted Job to repent and return from his righteousness. Likewise, God wants the spirits to repent and return to God. However, as humans can become gods themselves, they try hard, try to dominate others, and eventually fall into their own righteousness.

『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. 』(Genesis 3:6) So, after eating the fruit of a tree of knowledge of good and evil, humans become spiritually blind, deaf, and dumb about God. Jesus had pity on them and came to this world to heal them. But the Pharisees killed Jesus to try to be righteous. Even today there will be many who will try to achieve righteousness themselves. Even in the church, there are those who try to reach righteousness by looking at the law to see if they sin or not. They can go into Jesus Christ, but they don't. Jesus tells us to come to the cross, and they are looking away from the cross. In order to make a new covenant with Jesus, we have to go to the cross. Only the covenant people can enter the kingdom of God.

In Luke 22:20, 『Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.』Those who eat the flesh of Jesus and drink the blood of Jesus are united with Jesus on the cross. In Romans 6: 3, 『Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?』

Baptism is the ritual to enter the new covenant. To be baptized with Jesus is to deny himself. Jesus told his disciples to deny himself. Because, there is greed in oneself. God clearly says, "If you eat fruit, you die." Eve wanted to check herself.

『she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. 』 The fact that a woman eats fruit expresses the will of the spirits in God's kingdom to accomplish righteousness without God on their own, and is an expression of leaving God.

『Gave also unto her husband』, Here, the word “give” means “released”. In Genesis 1:17『 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, 』 Here, in "God set them in the firmament of the heaven", set is the same as the word "released". In Genesis 9:12, "And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations" where the word "take" means "released" All.

In Genesis 15:10, 『And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not. "Here," took "has the same meaning as the word" released ".

 "Giving it to her husband" does not mean giving a fruit. Woman means the spirits of the kingdom of God. Adam is a symbol of Christ. Confessing that the spirits ate the fruit of the tree to know good and evil. In other words, they confessed to Christ that the spirits decided to leave God and make righteousness for themselves. Christ promises that angels will descend through me and ascend through me. "The fact that her husband ate fruit" contained the meaning of this promise. Since the husband ate, he was first born into the world as a body of sin, then the body of all the spirits that came after him, and the last Adam made the body of the spirit for all the "repenting spirits" and brought it back to where it was.

Satan was deceived by the spirits. He said that eating the fruit of a tree that knows good and evil dies, but he will deliver it from the second death. The spirits believed it. Well, that's what happened. Christ came to earth to save them. However, Christ is not taking anyone. Only he would take the person who signed the new covenant. Christ says that the desire to be like God is to die on the cross.
