All was foreordained in the plan of God before the world was, God, knowing the end from the beginning. In Scripture when God put Adam in the garden, He planted for Adam to take care of, God only gave Adam one command, Genesis 2:16, do not eat from that one tree. This was before God made Eve because God said it was not good that man should be alone Genesis 2:18.
I know we disagree, but the first Adam and the last Adam came into this world without a sinful nature, one was disobedient one was obedient Romans 5:19.
Adam had free will, but the sinful nature did not enter him until Adam chose to be disobedient and ate from that tree that God commanded Adam to not eat from. Romans 5:12 "sin came into the world through one man and death through sin".
Yes, the eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil opened their consciences, and the shame of their disobedience was their nakedness, their sin was exposed, and with the knowledge of good and evil, the thoughts that come from being nude.
Jesus's blood covers our sins and makes our garments white as snow, sorry I was not clear.

You stated "The shame they now felt was due to the sinful nature that entered them and now they no longer perfectly perceived things"
I agree that "The shame they now felt was due to the sinful nature", but I don't agree that nature entered them when they bit of the fruit. I believe it was already in them to disobey.
This is why Christ was foreordained as of a lamb without blemish and without spot before the foundation of the world, 1 Peter 1:19-20.
Also I believe the shame they experienced was CAUSED by their "Knowledge" of Good and Evil. They were shame because they "NOW" knew they were naked.
For instance, what if they would have disobeyed God in any other way?
Would they have known they were naked without the knowledge of Good and Evil and responded with shame and try to cover themselves?
Is scripture conclusive that this was their first act of disobedience?
However, even if it were their first act of disobedience, it still applies.
They were uncovered/ vulnerable, absent from the blood of the Lamb which is to atone for sin.
Notice where the emphasis is placed after the act.
Genesis 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were NAKED..
Verses 9-10, And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou;
And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was NAKED; and I hid myself.
11.) And he said, Who told thee that thou wast NAKED?..
21) Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins and clothed them.
22) And the LORD God said, BEHOLD, THE MAN IS BECOME AS ONE OF US, TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:
BTW, you stated, "our sins covered and cleansed by the blood of Jesus that makes it spotless and white as long as we continue in faith and overcome. I'm not sure if you're saying that Christ clothing us covers our conscience or sin?
The curtains broadly divided heaven and the earth as two worlds framed by the word of God. Faith is one (Ep.4:4-5) And it couples the Gospel of God and of Christ. The everlasting covenant under seven days confer blessing on the man whose one hope of calling was invested in Jesus Christ the Word become flesh. Each day in Ge.1 reveals a part of his blessing which is from the fullness of Christ. Seven is the command number of perfect. Seven times seven makes it forty nine, 7x7=49. This refers to the the unto this part of the Son. ("Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee./Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession"-Ps.2:7-8) By the same token "in that day" refers to the Day of Regeneration where the 24 elders whose hope of calling is same as that of man. They praise the slain Lamb as thus, "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.". Blessing conferred on man is not merely entering into the rest of God but also the rest in which God is in all. "And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all."(1 Co.15:28). This shall explain with the numbers of curtains,"eleven curtains shalt thou make./The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure./And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle."(26:7-9)
7x7+1= 50
This is also declared as the jubilee year. "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."(Le.25:10-11)
"And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle."
Firstly the volume within the tent is fod God to dwell in. "that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in."(Is.40:22). His tabernacle among people forms a part; nations are yet another. "It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth" also have lower parts. This aspect we see in the vision of St John. The earth is a sea of glass and the throne is set at his eye level."And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal," has an altar. "And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:/And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"(Re.5:9-10;4:6). Besides there are angels and creature," And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them," (5:13) In Isaiah we have heaven laid out Across while in St John's vision we have three divisions, to which we need not go at present.
The Lord God is specific. "The Land is mine" which carry much more then mere topography of land mass and seas suggest. Fulness of Christ consequently more than the land as blessing of man under seven days is from the fulness than what he an entity carries."Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ."(Ep.1:3)
The two curtains as covering this tabernacle signify the fulness of God secured with that of the Son."that the loops may take hold one of another" Taches of gold, the third element independent complete this Association. Gospel is heard and faith is the lingua franca, where God commands and it is so. Why fifty?
Is.53:7-He was oppressed,and he was afflicted,yet he opened not his mouth:he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter,and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb,so he openeth not His mouth.
Deeply analyzing the matter,in fact GOD allowed His Son was taken to the slaughter like a sheep,but the MANNER by which He would be killed WAS NOT CHOSEN BY GOD the Father,the Devil CHOSE it,the old Serpent,and Satan.The satanic CROSS was made by the Devil to kill JESUS by extreme torture,to humiliate Him,in fact a satanic mockery(Mat.27:40)for cruel sufferings until death. JESUS already knew the SATANIC PLAN of the Devil:JESUS said:Mat.26:2-Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover,the Son of man is betrayed to be CRUCIFIED.See,it was a betrayer,one of the twelve,a devil( John 6:v.70),thatSatan used for sharing in the crucifixion of JESUS.
The MAN Beast who guides and rules one of the greater religious system of the Planet,a religious MONSTER leaded by the MAN Beast,the powerful head of the Antichrist power,he mantains a legion of MANUFATURER of cross by his devilish religious system,by which they celebrate the crucifixion of JESUS.
Re.21:8-But the fearful,and IDOLATERS,unbelieving,the abominable, murderers,whoremongers,sorcerers,and ALL LIARS,shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone:which is the second death.
The MAN-MADE CROSS is of the DEVIL and represents the dreadful, horrend,monstrous,execrable,hideous CHASTISEMENT JESUS suffered,it was marked by impiety,by intense cruelty of Satan,the MAN of sin,MANUFATURER of crosses by his false,and deceiver,and satanic Christianity of the Beast of sea-the Papacy,a satanic doctrine spread by the Great Whore-the Roman Catholic Church,which rides upon MAN Beast of sea-the Pope.
The Devil's cross is carryed as a TROPHY by Satan,and HIS devilish Catholicism kisses and adores it.GOD forbid us from being dragged by Satan into his devilish idolatry. 1John 5:21-Little children,keep yourselves from idols
The first Adam, his disobedience brought sin and death into the world, Romans 5:12-19. The last Adam by obedience to God brought forgiveness and life, the resurrection from the dead, 1 Corinthians 15:21-22.
Adam and Eve were naked and were not ashamed, their hearts were uncorrupted and free from sin. After they ate the forbidden fruit their eyes were opened, their consciences were opened to the knowledge of good and evil, and sin replaced the purity they had. They had a sense of fear and disgrace due to their disobedience.
The shame they now felt was due to the sinful nature that entered them and now they no longer perfectly perceived things, their view of their nakedness should be covered. Nakedness was not a sin, but a fallen perception of nakedness brought shame and sorrow they now felt.
As God covered Adam and Eve with coats of skins to cover their shame/nakedness. Our nakedness of shame can be covered with the garment Isaiah 61:10 given by Jesus. We in Jesus shall not be found naked, but clothed, with the garment of Christ's righteousness, our sins covered and cleansed by the blood of Jesus that makes it spotless and white as long as we continue in faith and overcome.
Concerning those that do not die in the Lord, that do not watch, and keep their garments will walk naked, their sins will be open to being seen, Revelation 16:151 Timothy 4:1-2Revelation 20:15.
Every human being, whether they're saved or unsaved, and regardless of their culture, ethnicity, or background, has a conscience, Romans 2:14-15. Inside this conscience is the battle between the flesh and the Spirit Romans 9:1 we can repent and be covered, if not we will be naked and found guilty. We cannot hide what is in our conscience, it records every good and evil we have ever done or thought. I feel this is where we are naked or clothed. Romans 4:6-82 Corinthians 1:121 Timothy 1:19Hebrews 9:9Hebrews 13:181 Peter 3:21.
Husband out of work since March. Please pray as he has come upon a business plan and is learning how to do it. Pray for his success and that his enthusiasm remains if this is The Lord's will. If this isn't it that God will the perfect opportunity for him and he will see God's wonderful plan come together for the work He has for him to do.
"A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about." (v.34)
In order to understand the significance we shall examine from the life of our Saviour.
The golden bell alternating with a pomegranate upon the hem round about we need not count which is pure speculation. The robe of Aaron signified righteousness which refers to the robe that Jesus wore. "now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout./They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled." ( John 19:23-24)This robe signified a quality of great import that the Spirit inspired the holy man of old to mention it.
It was of one colour and was one long piece of woven work: "And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue".(Ex.39:22) The bells, with pomegranates "And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen"(39:24) the righteousness was Person specific. The four in number establishing Jesus Christ as the Word become flesh. It was thus we see Jesus among a crowd.( Luke 8:455-48).
The woman with an issue of blood touched his hem,"and immediately her issue of blood stanched./And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me."
The golden bell signifies faith and it made connect instantly.
The woman suffered for 12 years just as Jairus' daughter was 12 years old, "For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age,"(8:42). Luke groups two healings where the Spirit sets a tag on both so how we interpret his healing cannot go wrong. He sent his word and healed them from their destructions. Tag for gospel of Christ is 12. (Ps.107:20)
SCHOOL BOOK August 11, 2024 2 Corithians 1:23-2:11 KJV
My Respond: COGIC WORSHIP- I worship a God that is a church, God that is a refuge, A God that is forgiveness, comfort, love. A God that is surety, A God of affection and goodwill. A God that is firm, A God that is divine , God of understanding, A God of and gives correction to love one another.
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;/As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."
Blessings come down from the greater to the lesser. The dew descending from Hermon and of Zion are from God so the names are interchangeable. The former meaning 'devoted mountain' was formerly a site of sanctuary of Baal and is situated at the northern boundary of Israel. The name Hermon was called Sarion (Sirion) by the Sidonians (Phoenicians). (29:6) The mountains of Zion refer to the Father Son relationship. God laid the foundation stone in Zion (Is.28:16) which explains the entity from which the law shall go forth. It points to eternity. "And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."(Is.2:3) Zion refers to Christ the stone cut not with hands and his everlasting kingdom shall be established."And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed."(Dan.2:45).
The blessings that pour down 'the skirts of his garments' is qualified as the Light of the Lamb. "And the Lamb is the light thereof./And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it."(Re.21:23-24)
The breastplate of Aaron's garment for glory and beauty are established in mid-air, "And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."(21:14) The saints in the city of God dwell in amity. It is like ointment, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! " and passing down blessings below.
"And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the Lord continually." The Spirit uses 'forever' continually as tags to use the fulness of Christ in the context. This quote must make the meaning clear. "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect."(He.10:1) continually in both quotes hold Jesus Christ the High Priest of our profession within the frame of reference. He "hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father."(Re.1:6)
God made Aaron an associate so he ministered in the holy place as the high priest.This dual charge placing Moses leading the civil and Aaron the ecclesiastical nation is a memorial for us.(Ex.4:15-16) The blessing that would come upon through Aaron is compared in the Psalm 133:3. "As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."(Ps.45:7). Aaron is compared to Jesus Christ the Rock and the oil of gladness poured, drips down the hem. "And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:/A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about."(28:33-35)
For Aaron the bell sounded warning." And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the Lord, and when he cometh out, that he die not." For us golden bell is our faith with works and it is in our daily lives. Pomegranate is a world in itself signifying the cloud of witnesses each with a seed in itself. We are surrounded by them.
My sisters family is struggling with the need for her another dependable vehicle as well as the time to find one. They have 2 daughters at home and college to pay for. Our Mom lives on their property and they take care of her (our Dad too, until he passed, with hospice, at home).
She also is very active in church, works full time and helps with what and when she can at the agricultural store her husbands family has had for decades. They would like to sell the store but nothing has come of it as yet.
They have a farm as well and have to milk cows 2 times a day. They are up super early and going until late at night, have little time together and help many in the church and community with anything they can.
They are faithful to their church home and are there every time the doors are pen unless sick or it's necessary to be with our mother. Both have health issues and have been through many trials yet they still hold fast to The Lord.
A vehicle for her and selling the store, if The Lord wills it, is my prayer request.
Had a theft of only my cherished jewelry (some made by my father-in-law and given by family and friends. My engagement diamond and wedding band, my most cherished and other things given by my husband. Praying the thief and all who know about it are found out. There is a detective who believes my husband and his family may be involved or the young man my husband brought into our home while I was hospitalized and without my knowledge who has a record of theft. Only my belongings were stolen. Guns everywhere and nothing else touched. Husband has lied to me or the detective or both. His story changed when the detective finally was able to talk to him. Husband supposed to be there when detective came, but wasn't. Would not call detective back for a while.
Strife between my husband and I for years with verbal, mental and emotional abuse that I've had prayer requests for and talked with others trying to get help for for years. Have had the same requests for Daughters safety and help for her with the abuse as well. Husband drinks alcohol and everything got bad when he started it. Said before marriage he was done with alcohol (35yrs now). Admitted on business trips bought women flirting with him dinner and closed hotel bar/restaurant down only refusing to go to their hotel room in elevator going to rooms, only then "i can't, im married."
Husband had put me away from him physically years ago, without my consent and out of the blue. Anger and resentment from him palpable. I've given up on him and do not expect any kind of husbandly or even friendly interaction. He's threatened leaving but hasn't. Daughter is 26 but will not move with me (lives at home) and he has threatened and shot in anger, while sober. Once tried to kill himself with daughter there when she was elementary age-i knocked the rifle out from under his chin as he pulled the trigger - shot ceiling. He/we wept, talked. Told his family, asked for help then. They started drinking with him. Didn't before.
Prayer for Mother, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law: elderly, mobility, falls, dementia, confusion, allowing & cooperating with help, taking medication and using assistive devices without complaint so they can remain in their homes.
Prayer for those caring for them for patience, understanding and making the most of the time with them. Grandchildren spending time with them.
Im replying to your post to say that my hope is that not only you but all here be in heaven with GOD as I am also is by the LITERAL fulfillment, yes,LITERAL fulfillment of Eph.1:3-8 combined literally with the preyer of our Lord JESUS to the Father, saying: John 17:24->Father,I will that they also(the believers in Him),whom thou has given me,be with Me where I am;that they may behold my glory,which thou has given me:for thou loved me before the foundation of the world. Look up,the believers in JESUS also was loved and chosen before the foundation of the world like our Lord JESUS,you see?Eph.1:3-8->3Blessed be the GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,who hath blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ(do you see and feel this?).4According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world,that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself,according to the good pleasure of His will
We are in heavenly place in Christ,in fact in the 2nd heaven,the 3rd will be established from now on,yes,we give Thanks to GOD in Heaven(the same heaven where our GOD is)not only for prayers answered,but because He has blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in Christ JESUS our Lord
Yes,All glory to the GOD of all Creation.All praise to the GOD of Kindness and the Father of all Blessings.Through Christ JESUS our Saviour,Amen
Jo.17:1-5
1 Father,the hour is come;glorify thy Son,that thy Son also may glorify thee
2As thou has given him power over all flesh,that he should give eternal life to as many as thou has given him
3And this is life eternal,that they might know thee the only true GOD,and Jesus Christ,whom thou has sent
4I have glorified thee on the earth:I have finished the work which thou gave me to do
5And now,O Father,glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was
A difference between Adam and Christ in his humanity.
Adam was born Naked "metaphorically Vulnerable "
Jesus was clothed with light even while here on earth.
Some people view the two as both sons of God and one failed and the other endured and succeeded with both being capable of sin.
One of many differences between the two may be seen in the usage of the word "naked" in Genesis with the focus being on Adam.
As mentioned in my previous post, In Revelation it mentions nakedness along with being shame.
Revelation 3:17-18 "Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, AND THAT THE SHAME OF THY NAKEDNESS DO NOT APPEAR; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Revelation 16:15 "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, LEST HE WALK NAKED, AND THEY SEE HIS SHAME.
(Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments.)
Nakedness is unclothed and meaning vulnerable. Perhaps to be ashamed one would have to have knowledge of good and evil.
In Genesis it mentions Adam and Eve being naked along with NOT being ashamed.
Genesis 2:25 it reads "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were NOT ASHAMED.
After they ate of the fruit they covered themselves!
This emphasizes they now were ashamed.
Keep in mind they were already naked, uncovered and vulnerable.
So the question is what caused their shame? Was it the Knowledge of Good and Evil?
Luke 16:23 - And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
The word hell here is the word, Hades. There is actually only one place in the Bible that is actually Hell, and that's the lake of fire in the book of Revelation, the final destination. In fact, Hades will be emptied out into the lake of fire. Hades, the word Hades means the place of unseen spirits. No physical body, just spirits.
Luke 17:1 - Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
Literally in the Greek, He's saying that it's impossible not to offend people. But woe unto him, through whom they come!
Even though it's impossible not to offend people, we are still responsible. Now the word offense is the word SCANDALON, where we get our word scandal from.
And it is the name of the trap string that holds up a box. If an animal comes in, you pull the trap string, and the box falls down on the animal and catches the animal. And it's called an offense.
That is to say when we do things to trap people or cause them to go down the wrong road, at least from a spiritual Christian standpoint, that's what He is talking about. It doesn't mean if you hurt my feelings or if you do something to rattle my nerves. That has nothing to do with offenses.
It has to do with allowing people to go down a trail where they will be trapped in, and it will be a road of destruction. For a Christian, it means that you guide people down the wrong road and into a trap, and it is not the road to Christ. It is not the truth.
Luke 16:14 - And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Where it says, "and they derided him," literally they scoffed at him. The Greek word means they turned up their nose at Him. That is a pretty good religious indignation, is it not? They were covetous and they heard the Lord say this and they were all upset because most of what they did was for money.
Luke 16:17 - And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Again, this is something we don't catch from out English text. The word "tittle" is a little horn. If you have ever seen Hebrew script, they put little art objects, little horns on the letters, and He is saying not one of these little end pieces are going to break off. Everything is going to happen of the law. It will not fail.
Luke 16:19 - There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and the term "clothed" is what is called the Imperfect Tense. He was continuously clothed in purple and fine linen.
Purple represented the most expensive clothing and fine linen. And he fared sumptuously every day: Literally "he partied according to the daytime." This went on all day long, everyday one big party.
Luke 16:20 - And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, a real person that actually lived. He was a beggar, in the lowest of human conditions. You have the rich man who is in the highest of conditions; and you have the beggar named Lazarus who is in the worst of conditions, which was laid at his gate.
The tense shows that this is a continuous habit every day, and he was full of sores. These are ulcerated sores or boils all over his body. So, he was laid at the gate of the rich man. He is full of sores.
All was foreordained in the plan of God before the world was, God, knowing the end from the beginning. In Scripture when God put Adam in the garden, He planted for Adam to take care of, God only gave Adam one command, Genesis 2:16, do not eat from that one tree. This was before God made Eve because God said it was not good that man should be alone Genesis 2:18.
I know we disagree, but the first Adam and the last Adam came into this world without a sinful nature, one was disobedient one was obedient Romans 5:19.
Adam had free will, but the sinful nature did not enter him until Adam chose to be disobedient and ate from that tree that God commanded Adam to not eat from. Romans 5:12 "sin came into the world through one man and death through sin".
Yes, the eating of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil opened their consciences, and the shame of their disobedience was their nakedness, their sin was exposed, and with the knowledge of good and evil, the thoughts that come from being nude.
Jesus's blood covers our sins and makes our garments white as snow, sorry I was not clear.
God bless,

You stated "The shame they now felt was due to the sinful nature that entered them and now they no longer perfectly perceived things"
I agree that "The shame they now felt was due to the sinful nature", but I don't agree that nature entered them when they bit of the fruit. I believe it was already in them to disobey.
This is why Christ was foreordained as of a lamb without blemish and without spot before the foundation of the world, 1 Peter 1:19-20.
Also I believe the shame they experienced was CAUSED by their "Knowledge" of Good and Evil. They were shame because they "NOW" knew they were naked.
For instance, what if they would have disobeyed God in any other way?
Would they have known they were naked without the knowledge of Good and Evil and responded with shame and try to cover themselves?
Is scripture conclusive that this was their first act of disobedience?
However, even if it were their first act of disobedience, it still applies.
They were uncovered/ vulnerable, absent from the blood of the Lamb which is to atone for sin.
Notice where the emphasis is placed after the act.
Genesis 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were NAKED..

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was NAKED; and I hid myself.

21) Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins and clothed them.
22) And the LORD God said, BEHOLD, THE MAN IS BECOME AS ONE OF US, TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever:
BTW, you stated, "our sins covered and cleansed by the blood of Jesus that makes it spotless and white as long as we continue in faith and overcome. I'm not sure if you're saying that Christ clothing us covers our conscience or sin?

The curtains broadly divided heaven and the earth as two worlds framed by the word of God. Faith is one (Ep.4:4-5) And it couples the Gospel of God and of Christ. The everlasting covenant under seven days confer blessing on the man whose one hope of calling was invested in Jesus Christ the Word become flesh. Each day in Ge.1 reveals a part of his blessing which is from the fullness of Christ. Seven is the command number of perfect. Seven times seven makes it forty nine, 7x7=49. This refers to the the unto this part of the Son. ("Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee./Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession"-Ps.2:7-8) By the same token "in that day" refers to the Day of Regeneration where the 24 elders whose hope of calling is same as that of man. They praise the slain Lamb as thus, "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.". Blessing conferred on man is not merely entering into the rest of God but also the rest in which God is in all. "And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all."(1 Co.15:28). This shall explain with the numbers of curtains,"eleven curtains shalt thou make./The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure./And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle."(26:7-9)
7x7+1= 50
This is also declared as the jubilee year. "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."(Le.25:10-11)
"And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle."
Firstly the volume within the tent is fod God to dwell in. "that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in."(Is.40:22). His tabernacle among people forms a part; nations are yet another. "It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth" also have lower parts. This aspect we see in the vision of St John. The earth is a sea of glass and the throne is set at his eye level."And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal," has an altar. "And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:/And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?"(Re.5:9-10;4:6). Besides there are angels and creature," And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them," (5:13) In Isaiah we have heaven laid out Across while in St John's vision we have three divisions, to which we need not go at present.
The Lord God is specific. "The Land is mine" which carry much more then mere topography of land mass and seas suggest. Fulness of Christ consequently more than the land as blessing of man under seven days is from the fulness than what he an entity carries."Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ."(Ep.1:3)
The two curtains as covering this tabernacle signify the fulness of God secured with that of the Son."that the loops may take hold one of another" Taches of gold, the third element independent complete this Association. Gospel is heard and faith is the lingua franca, where God commands and it is so. Why fifty?
Your husband is making your life so difficult. I will pray for your situation also.
I will pray for your family and their needs.
Deeply analyzing the matter,in fact GOD allowed His Son was taken to the slaughter like a sheep,but the MANNER by which He would be killed WAS NOT CHOSEN BY GOD the Father,the Devil CHOSE it,the old Serpent,and Satan.The satanic CROSS was made by the Devil to kill JESUS by extreme torture,to humiliate Him,in fact a satanic mockery(Mat.27:40)for cruel sufferings until death. JESUS already knew the SATANIC PLAN of the Devil:JESUS said:Mat.26:2-Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover,the Son of man is betrayed to be CRUCIFIED.See,it was a betrayer,one of the twelve,a devil( John 6:v.70),thatSatan used for sharing in the crucifixion of JESUS.
The MAN Beast who guides and rules one of the greater religious system of the Planet,a religious MONSTER leaded by the MAN Beast,the powerful head of the Antichrist power,he mantains a legion of MANUFATURER of cross by his devilish religious system,by which they celebrate the crucifixion of JESUS.
Re.21:8-But the fearful,and IDOLATERS,unbelieving,the abominable, murderers,whoremongers,sorcerers,and ALL LIARS,shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone:which is the second death.
The MAN-MADE CROSS is of the DEVIL and represents the dreadful, horrend,monstrous,execrable,hideous CHASTISEMENT JESUS suffered,it was marked by impiety,by intense cruelty of Satan,the MAN of sin,MANUFATURER of crosses by his false,and deceiver,and satanic Christianity of the Beast of sea-the Papacy,a satanic doctrine spread by the Great Whore-the Roman Catholic Church,which rides upon MAN Beast of sea-the Pope.
The Devil's cross is carryed as a TROPHY by Satan,and HIS devilish Catholicism kisses and adores it.GOD forbid us from being dragged by Satan into his devilish idolatry. 1John 5:21-Little children,keep yourselves from idols
The first Adam, his disobedience brought sin and death into the world, Romans 5:12-19. The last Adam by obedience to God brought forgiveness and life, the resurrection from the dead, 1 Corinthians 15:21-22.
Adam and Eve were naked and were not ashamed, their hearts were uncorrupted and free from sin. After they ate the forbidden fruit their eyes were opened, their consciences were opened to the knowledge of good and evil, and sin replaced the purity they had. They had a sense of fear and disgrace due to their disobedience.
The shame they now felt was due to the sinful nature that entered them and now they no longer perfectly perceived things, their view of their nakedness should be covered. Nakedness was not a sin, but a fallen perception of nakedness brought shame and sorrow they now felt.
As God covered Adam and Eve with coats of skins to cover their shame/nakedness. Our nakedness of shame can be covered with the garment Isaiah 61:10 given by Jesus. We in Jesus shall not be found naked, but clothed, with the garment of Christ's righteousness, our sins covered and cleansed by the blood of Jesus that makes it spotless and white as long as we continue in faith and overcome.
Concerning those that do not die in the Lord, that do not watch, and keep their garments will walk naked, their sins will be open to being seen, Revelation 16:15 1 Timothy 4:1-2 Revelation 20:15.
Every human being, whether they're saved or unsaved, and regardless of their culture, ethnicity, or background, has a conscience, Romans 2:14-15. Inside this conscience is the battle between the flesh and the Spirit Romans 9:1 we can repent and be covered, if not we will be naked and found guilty. We cannot hide what is in our conscience, it records every good and evil we have ever done or thought. I feel this is where we are naked or clothed. Romans 4:6-8 2 Corinthians 1:12 1 Timothy 1:19 Hebrews 9:9 Hebrews 13:18 1 Peter 3:21.
God bless,

"A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about." (v.34)
In order to understand the significance we shall examine from the life of our Saviour.
The golden bell alternating with a pomegranate upon the hem round about we need not count which is pure speculation. The robe of Aaron signified righteousness which refers to the robe that Jesus wore. "now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout./They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled." ( John 19:23-24)This robe signified a quality of great import that the Spirit inspired the holy man of old to mention it.
It was of one colour and was one long piece of woven work: "And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue".(Ex.39:22) The bells, with pomegranates "And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen"(39:24) the righteousness was Person specific. The four in number establishing Jesus Christ as the Word become flesh. It was thus we see Jesus among a crowd.( Luke 8:455-48).
The woman with an issue of blood touched his hem,"and immediately her issue of blood stanched./And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me? And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me."
The golden bell signifies faith and it made connect instantly.
The woman suffered for 12 years just as Jairus' daughter was 12 years old, "For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age,"(8:42). Luke groups two healings where the Spirit sets a tag on both so how we interpret his healing cannot go wrong. He sent his word and healed them from their destructions. Tag for gospel of Christ is 12. (Ps.107:20)
SCHOOL BOOK August 11, 2024 2 Corithians 1:23-2:11 KJV
My Respond: COGIC WORSHIP- I worship a God that is a church, God that is a refuge, A God that is forgiveness, comfort, love. A God that is surety, A God of affection and goodwill. A God that is firm, A God that is divine , God of understanding, A God of and gives correction to love one another.
It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;/As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."
Blessings come down from the greater to the lesser. The dew descending from Hermon and of Zion are from God so the names are interchangeable. The former meaning 'devoted mountain' was formerly a site of sanctuary of Baal and is situated at the northern boundary of Israel. The name Hermon was called Sarion (Sirion) by the Sidonians (Phoenicians). (29:6) The mountains of Zion refer to the Father Son relationship. God laid the foundation stone in Zion (Is.28:16) which explains the entity from which the law shall go forth. It points to eternity. "And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."(Is.2:3) Zion refers to Christ the stone cut not with hands and his everlasting kingdom shall be established."And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed."(Dan.2:45).
The blessings that pour down 'the skirts of his garments' is qualified as the Light of the Lamb. "And the Lamb is the light thereof./And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it."(Re.21:23-24)
The breastplate of Aaron's garment for glory and beauty are established in mid-air, "And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."(21:14) The saints in the city of God dwell in amity. It is like ointment, "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! " and passing down blessings below.
"And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before the Lord continually." The Spirit uses 'forever' continually as tags to use the fulness of Christ in the context. This quote must make the meaning clear. "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect."(He.10:1) continually in both quotes hold Jesus Christ the High Priest of our profession within the frame of reference. He "hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father."(Re.1:6)
God made Aaron an associate so he ministered in the holy place as the high priest.This dual charge placing Moses leading the civil and Aaron the ecclesiastical nation is a memorial for us.(Ex.4:15-16) The blessing that would come upon through Aaron is compared in the Psalm 133:3. "As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the Lord commanded the blessing, even life for evermore."(Ps.45:7). Aaron is compared to Jesus Christ the Rock and the oil of gladness poured, drips down the hem. "And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:/A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about."(28:33-35)
For Aaron the bell sounded warning." And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the Lord, and when he cometh out, that he die not." For us golden bell is our faith with works and it is in our daily lives. Pomegranate is a world in itself signifying the cloud of witnesses each with a seed in itself. We are surrounded by them.
She also is very active in church, works full time and helps with what and when she can at the agricultural store her husbands family has had for decades. They would like to sell the store but nothing has come of it as yet.
They have a farm as well and have to milk cows 2 times a day. They are up super early and going until late at night, have little time together and help many in the church and community with anything they can.
They are faithful to their church home and are there every time the doors are pen unless sick or it's necessary to be with our mother. Both have health issues and have been through many trials yet they still hold fast to The Lord.
A vehicle for her and selling the store, if The Lord wills it, is my prayer request.
Strife between my husband and I for years with verbal, mental and emotional abuse that I've had prayer requests for and talked with others trying to get help for for years. Have had the same requests for Daughters safety and help for her with the abuse as well. Husband drinks alcohol and everything got bad when he started it. Said before marriage he was done with alcohol (35yrs now). Admitted on business trips bought women flirting with him dinner and closed hotel bar/restaurant down only refusing to go to their hotel room in elevator going to rooms, only then "i can't, im married."
Husband had put me away from him physically years ago, without my consent and out of the blue. Anger and resentment from him palpable. I've given up on him and do not expect any kind of husbandly or even friendly interaction. He's threatened leaving but hasn't. Daughter is 26 but will not move with me (lives at home) and he has threatened and shot in anger, while sober. Once tried to kill himself with daughter there when she was elementary age-i knocked the rifle out from under his chin as he pulled the trigger - shot ceiling. He/we wept, talked. Told his family, asked for help then. They started drinking with him. Didn't before.
PRAY
Prayer for those caring for them for patience, understanding and making the most of the time with them. Grandchildren spending time with them.
Yes that is Very interesting Brother Jesse!
In the English you view Jesus going in the wilderness looking for him as if he left the sheep fold.
Thanks and God bless.

Im replying to your post to say that my hope is that not only you but all here be in heaven with GOD as I am also is by the LITERAL fulfillment, yes,LITERAL fulfillment of Eph.1:3-8 combined literally with the preyer of our Lord JESUS to the Father, saying: John 17:24->Father,I will that they also(the believers in Him),whom thou has given me,be with Me where I am;that they may behold my glory,which thou has given me:for thou loved me before the foundation of the world. Look up,the believers in JESUS also was loved and chosen before the foundation of the world like our Lord JESUS,you see?Eph.1:3-8->3Blessed be the GOD and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,who hath blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ(do you see and feel this?).4According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world,that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love:5Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself,according to the good pleasure of His will
We are in heavenly place in Christ,in fact in the 2nd heaven,the 3rd will be established from now on,yes,we give Thanks to GOD in Heaven(the same heaven where our GOD is)not only for prayers answered,but because He has blessed us with ALL spiritual blessings in Christ JESUS our Lord
Yes,All glory to the GOD of all Creation.All praise to the GOD of Kindness and the Father of all Blessings.Through Christ JESUS our Saviour,Amen
Jo.17:1-5
1 Father,the hour is come;glorify thy Son,that thy Son also may glorify thee
2As thou has given him power over all flesh,that he should give eternal life to as many as thou has given him
3And this is life eternal,that they might know thee the only true GOD,and Jesus Christ,whom thou has sent
4I have glorified thee on the earth:I have finished the work which thou gave me to do
5And now,O Father,glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was
A difference between Adam and Christ in his humanity.
Adam was born Naked "metaphorically Vulnerable "
Jesus was clothed with light even while here on earth.
Some people view the two as both sons of God and one failed and the other endured and succeeded with both being capable of sin.
One of many differences between the two may be seen in the usage of the word "naked" in Genesis with the focus being on Adam.
As mentioned in my previous post, In Revelation it mentions nakedness along with being shame.
Revelation 3:17-18 "Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, AND THAT THE SHAME OF THY NAKEDNESS DO NOT APPEAR; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
Revelation 16:15 "Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, LEST HE WALK NAKED, AND THEY SEE HIS SHAME.
(Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments.)
Nakedness is unclothed and meaning vulnerable. Perhaps to be ashamed one would have to have knowledge of good and evil.
In Genesis it mentions Adam and Eve being naked along with NOT being ashamed.
Genesis 2:25 it reads "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were NOT ASHAMED.
After they ate of the fruit they covered themselves!
This emphasizes they now were ashamed.
Keep in mind they were already naked, uncovered and vulnerable.
So the question is what caused their shame? Was it the Knowledge of Good and Evil?
Luke 16:23 - And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
The word hell here is the word, Hades. There is actually only one place in the Bible that is actually Hell, and that's the lake of fire in the book of Revelation, the final destination. In fact, Hades will be emptied out into the lake of fire. Hades, the word Hades means the place of unseen spirits. No physical body, just spirits.
Luke 17:1 - Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!
Literally in the Greek, He's saying that it's impossible not to offend people. But woe unto him, through whom they come!
Even though it's impossible not to offend people, we are still responsible. Now the word offense is the word SCANDALON, where we get our word scandal from.
And it is the name of the trap string that holds up a box. If an animal comes in, you pull the trap string, and the box falls down on the animal and catches the animal. And it's called an offense.
That is to say when we do things to trap people or cause them to go down the wrong road, at least from a spiritual Christian standpoint, that's what He is talking about. It doesn't mean if you hurt my feelings or if you do something to rattle my nerves. That has nothing to do with offenses.
It has to do with allowing people to go down a trail where they will be trapped in, and it will be a road of destruction. For a Christian, it means that you guide people down the wrong road and into a trap, and it is not the road to Christ. It is not the truth.
Luke 16:14 - And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him.
Where it says, "and they derided him," literally they scoffed at him. The Greek word means they turned up their nose at Him. That is a pretty good religious indignation, is it not? They were covetous and they heard the Lord say this and they were all upset because most of what they did was for money.
Luke 16:17 - And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
Again, this is something we don't catch from out English text. The word "tittle" is a little horn. If you have ever seen Hebrew script, they put little art objects, little horns on the letters, and He is saying not one of these little end pieces are going to break off. Everything is going to happen of the law. It will not fail.
Luke 16:19 - There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and the term "clothed" is what is called the Imperfect Tense. He was continuously clothed in purple and fine linen.
Purple represented the most expensive clothing and fine linen. And he fared sumptuously every day: Literally "he partied according to the daytime." This went on all day long, everyday one big party.
Luke 16:20 - And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, a real person that actually lived. He was a beggar, in the lowest of human conditions. You have the rich man who is in the highest of conditions; and you have the beggar named Lazarus who is in the worst of conditions, which was laid at his gate.
The tense shows that this is a continuous habit every day, and he was full of sores. These are ulcerated sores or boils all over his body. So, he was laid at the gate of the rich man. He is full of sores.
