ADAM WAS NOT THE FIRST MAN

���������������� by Bertrand L. Comparet

���� The Bible tells of the creation of MEN, IN THE PLURAL, in

Genesis 1:26‑28, saying,

���� "Male and female created He THEM" (1:27), and God told these

people, "Be fruitful and

���� multiply, and Replenish the earth" (1:28). "Plenish" is an

obsolete English word, meaning "to

���� fill"; and you cannot REplenish what was never plenished, or

filled, before. In the next

���� chapter, Genesis 2. we find THE ADAM (in the singular) formed.

The Hebrew word,

���� "aw‑dawm" (rendered "Adam" in English) is from a root word

meaning, "To show blood in the

���� face" or "of a ruddy complexion" ... a word obviously not

applicable to the dark races, which

���� we know from scientific evidence to be much older than the

White Race.

���� Bible scholars know the latter part of the passage in Genesis

3:20... "and Adam called his

���� wife's name "Eve"; because she was the mother of all living" . . .

‑is a later interpolation, which

���� was not in the earlier manuscripts (See Moffatt's Translation). It

follows that Eve (which

���� means 'life‑giver'), being Adamic, could not have mothered the

earlier Yellow or Black races;

���� an idea which is only a popular misconception engendered by

fallacious Christian Education.

��� EVE DID NOT EAT AN APPLE!

�������������������� Edenic Covenant

��������� In Gen. 3:3, God has told Eve she is not to eat (partake) of the

fruit (offspring) of

��������� the tree that was in the midst of the Garden. We know that the

tree in the midst of

��������� the Garden was a racial tree because it is described in Gen.

2:17 as a tree of the

��������� knowledge of good and evil. No fruit tree has a knowledge of

good or evil, so it

��������� could not have been an "apple tree". Also, Eve was

admonished not to touch* the

��������� fruit of the tree on pain of death. Certainly, touching an apple

would not have called

��������� for such stern punishment. Again in Gen. 3:61 Eve saw that

the fruit was pleasant

��������� to the eyes (handsome) and capable of making one wise. As it

turned out, partaking

��������� of the fruit of the racial tree did make Eve wise, because she

knew (immediately

��������� after she and Adam had sinned) that she was naked. A fact

that she did not seem to

��������� notice before the misdeed.

��������� "to lay hands upon, to lie with" ‑ See Strong's Concordance.

��������� When God asked Eve what she had done (Gen. 3:13) she said

the serpent beguiled

��������� her. In the first place, the Hebrew word "Nachash", translated

"serpent," actually

��������� means "spellbinding enchanter or magician". Now we know

how the serpent could

��������� talk to Eve. It was not a snake or any reptile with which we

are familiar, but Satan,

��������� in one of his many appearances. Understanding the foregoing

makes it easy to

��������� understand that the sin committed in the Garden of Eden was

of a sexual nature

��������� because when Eve said she was beguiled she actually was

saying she had been

��������� seduced. The Hebrew word "Nashall translated to "beguiled"

actually means "to

��������� lead astray, to seduce".

��������� It is quite evident that before Adam and Eve sinned theirs

was not a physical or

��������� sexual relationship. The Forgotten Books of Eden tell us that

God, the Father, had

��������� desired to bring forth children of Light from both of them

(perhaps in the same

��������� manner as Eve was brought from Adam). But when they

committed sexual sin;

��������� they were reduced to a purely physical plane of reproduction

(Gen. 3:16); they lost

��������� their aura or "glory" and were driven out of Eden. They were

no longer children of

��������� light, free from toil and pain and death. Yet God' s mercy did

not depart from

��������� them. The fallen man and woman were restored by God's

grace to a condition of

��������� favour. They had been given mortality and they came

therefore, under the

��������� dispensation of that state of being under which God made

with them a second

��������� Covenant.

�������������� ADAMIC COVENANT

��������� This Second Covenant teaches us the conditions of the life of

mortal (fallen)

��������� humanity, the conditions, that is, that have governed the lives

of all men since the

��������� Fall, under which, therefore we live. These conditions remain

until the coming of

��������� the Christ when he restores all things created, to their original

purity. This second

��������� Covenant was partly founded in a curse, for God's judgment

came upon Adam for

��������� his sin, and the judgment bore the burden of labour, "In the

sweat of thy face shalt

��������� thou eat bread"; the difficulty of labour, "thorns also and

thistles shall it bring forth

��������� to thee"; the sorrow of life, "in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all

the days of thy life";

��������� physical death, "dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou

return". All these things, the

��������� fruit of the curse, are included in the judgment of God upon

the Fall, yet how

��������� important it is to notice that even in such a Covenant, in such

a statement of God's

��������� will and purpose there is the clear promise of blessing and

restoration. For you

��������� have, in the story of this second Covenant, the first promise

of a Saviour, the first

��������� beginnings of God's work of redemption through the Godly

seed. It is this

��������� Covenant, made with Adam when cast out of Eden, which

provides the first link in

��������� a chain that runs unbroken throughout the whole Bible; that

chain of men, chosen

��������� and called out by God, who should labour for Him in

righteousness, and who

��������� should be fellow workers with God to restore His dominion

over the earth.
