v.1 " Now 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?"
Presenting the first begotten to the angels was as though war declared on darkness. Adam clothed in glory shall come across the devil who sins from the beginning. One flesh and one bone made Adam an extension of the Father Son relationship transposed into human terms. As Jesus in his humanity would say, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." (Mt.8.20) Jesus was not ashamed of his poverty who was rich in his access to his Father. Similarly "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.(2.25). Jesus of whom John testifies,"And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man."( Jn 2.25) Equally vital was that he was aware that his glory as was in the bosom of his Father was in His safekeeping. From the colloquy that follows here warns us the danger of forgetting what we are really. Our conversation among Tom Dick and Harry cannot be avoided but we are not of them. "For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come."(Heb.13.14)
The drift of the serpent was ominous. "Ye shall not surely die:For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods" (3.4-5) Had Eve a clear understanding what the serpent said was a lie it would have been another story, Creating a context with darkness is a slippery slope to perdition. The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. We do not see the same where darkness was upon the face of the deep. Hence the warning, "And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?" 2 Cor.6.15) Bh of imposter churches seem to have license to trivialise and they call it activism.
