Where do you want to wake up? Is it a city that doesn’t sleep? Where there is no rest? Or do you long for that place Adam wants so desperately to return to?
Times Square, New York, The big apple and drum roll please…..
They are extending their Midnight magic, they said. 1954, ’64, ’74, ’84, ’94, ‘2004, ‘2014, and…..that magical place – 2024!
In “Adam Where For Art Thou?” Part 4, we left Adam and his unhappy attitude of Satan and his fireworks display at the front of his cave. We continue where we left off…
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. XLVI.
“How many times have I delivered thee out of his hand . . .”
1 THEN Adam and Eve began again to come into the cave. And when they came to the way between the fire, Satan blew into the fire like a whirlwind, and made on Adam and Eve a burning coal-fire; so that their bodies were singed; and the coal-fire scorched them. 2 And from the burning of the fire Adam and Eve cried aloud, and said, “O Lord, save us! Leave us not to be consumed and plagued by this burning fire; neither require us for having transgressed Thy commandment.”
3 Then God looked upon their bodies, on which Satan had caused fire to bum, and God sent His angel that stayed the burning fire. But the wounds remained on their bodies. 4 And God said unto Adam, “See Satan’s love for thee, who pretended to give thee the Godhead and greatness; and, behold, he burns thee with fire, and seeks to destroy thee from off the earth.
5 “Then look at Me, O Adam; I created thee, and how many times have I delivered thee out of his hand? If not, would he not have destroyed thee?”
6 God said again to Eve, “What is that he promised thee in the garden, saying, ‘At the time ye shall eat of the tree, your eyes will be opened, and you shall become like gods, knowing good and evil.’ But lo! he has burnt your bodies with fire, and has made you taste the taste of fire, for the taste of the garden; and has made you see the burning of fire, and the evil thereof, and the power it has over you.
7 “Your eyes have seen the good he has taken from you, and in truth he has opened your eyes; and you have seen the garden in which ye were with Me, and ye have also seen the evil that has come upon you from Satan. But as to the Godhead he cannot give it you, neither fulfil his speech to you. Nay, he was bitter against you and your seed, that will come after you.” 8 And God withdrew His Word from them.
(God let them know who the liar is and what he does and plans to do. Nothing good for Adam or his seed. Nothing good for God. He is a liar and the author of it. Jesus told us all the very same thing in many ways. I think that is why he gave the devil so many names…because he does appear as a devil, a dragon, a serpent, an angel of light, Lucifer, and any darn thing he can imagine to fool mankind. He truly is a wolf in sheeps clothes and has come to kill, steal and destroy.)
I agree with Dolly on this one.
PLAYING WITH FIRE…. FIREWORKS IN SYDNEY 2024!
And the fireworks glorify the ruler of this world and his celebration for his calendar of years! A day is as a day. Smile. Around the world FIRE WORKS are displayed and people cheer and hope for more mammon in 2024!
People make plans and hope for the best and do all sorts of superstitious things in hopes that in the new year they will manifest that which their hearts desire. What’s your resolution for the new year? Do you believe the ruler of this world will give it to you? Stand in line with Adam and Eve and hug your fleshly body while you can for that he will strip you of too! He’s got a transhuman program set and ready to go. In his world you will have nothing and be happy. You will no longer be bothered with thinking, feeling and choosing… after all… he believes that free will thingy is what made Adam unhappy. He wants Adam to be have nothing and be happy.
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. XLVII.
The Devil’s own Scheming.
1 THEN Adam and Eve came into the cave, yet trembling at the fire that had scorched their bodies. So Adam said to Eve: 2 “Lo, the fire has burnt our flesh in this world; but how will it be when we are dead, and Satan shall punish our souls? Is not our deliverance long and far off, unless God come, and in mercy to us fulfil His promise?”
3 Then Adam and Eve passed into the cave, blessing themselves for coming into it once more. For it was in their thoughts, that they never should enter it, when they saw the fire around it. (So many times I have felt the same way in such a tragedy. Have you? I always praise the Lord God for bringing me and others through and especially when I see what was avoided. Amen.)
4 But as the sun was setting the fire was still burning and nearing Adam and Eve in the cave, so that they could not sleep in it. After the sun had set, they went out of it. This was the forty-seventh day after they came out of the garden. 5 Adam and Eve then came under the top of hill by the garden to sleep, as they were wont. 6 And they stood and prayed God to forgive them their sins, and then fell asleep under the summit of the mountain.
7 But Satan, the hater of all good, thought within himself: Whereas God has promised salvation to Adam by covenant, and that He would deliver him out of all the hardships that have befallen him-but has not promised me by covenant, and will not deliver me out of my hardships; nay, since He has promised him that He should make him and his seed dwell in the kingdom in which I once was–I will kill Adam. (I always suspected Satan and the fallen felt that way. Have you?)
8 The earth shall be rid of him; and shall be left to me alone; so that when he is dead he may not have any seed left to inherit the kingdom that shall remain my own realm; God will then be in want of me, and He will restore me to it with my hosts. (So that is their reasoning? It’s like we are now behind the veil and nothing is hidden. We have thought this was their wicked desire, his trained minions that is, but now we hear it from Satan himself. It is all very real. But now, God has given us the authority and power through the Holy Spirit to rebuke the demonic realm in His name. Amen. Have faith, hold onto God’s hand and stay strong.)
FIRE, FIRE, FIRE WORKS FOR LONDON! “WHAT IS THE CITY BUT THE PEOPLE”….???
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP XLVIII.
Fifth apparition of Satan to Adam and Eve.
1 AFTER this Satan called to his hosts, all of which came to him, and they said unto him: 2 “O, our Lord, what wilt thou do?” 3 He then said unto them, “Ye know that this Adam, whom God created out of the dust, is he who has taken our kingdom. Come, let us gather together and kill him; or hurl a rock at him and at Eve, and crush them under it.”
4 When Satan’s hosts heard these words, they came to the part of the mountain where Adam and Eve were asleep. 5 Then Satan and his hosts took a huge rock, broad and even, and without blemish, thinking within himself, “If there should be a hole in the rock, when it fell on them, the hole in the rock might come upon them, and so they would escape and not die.”
6 He then said to his hosts, “Take up this stone, and throw it flat upon them, so that it roll not from them to somewhere else. And when ye have hurled it, flee and tarry not.”
7 And they did as he bid them. But as the rock fell down from the mountain upon Adam and Eve, God commanded it to become a kind of shed over them, that did them no harm. And so it was by God’s order. (Divine intervention! Woo hoo! This is how we crawl out from an accident unscathed. And accident that should have killed us! Have you ever experienced that?)
8 But when the rock fell, the whole earth quaked with it, and. was shaken from the size of the rock. 9 And as it quaked and shook, Adam and Eve awoke from sleep, and found themselves under a rock like a shed. But they knew not how it was; for when they fell asleep they were under the sky, and not under a shed; and when they saw it, they were afraid.
10 Then Adam said to Eve, “Wherefore has the mountain bent itself, and the earth quaked and shaken on our account? And why has this rock spread itself over us like a tent? 11 “Does God intend to plague us and to shut us up in this prison? Or will He close the earth upon us?
(Okay… we all sometimes think this way… but this is really getting old with Adam. I do have to work on patience, that’s not one of my best qualities. I think it’s more like I want to shake Adam and sit him down and talk to him about his negative thinking??? But then, God always has a way of humbling me by putting me in a situation where I am just like Adam, so I will instead work on having more patience and understanding. Smile.)
12 “He is angry with us for our having come out of the cave without His order; and for our having done so of our own accord, without consulting Him, when we left the cave and came to this place.” 13 Then Eve said, “If, indeed, the earth quaked for our sake, and this rock forms a tent over us because of our transgression, then woe be to us, O Adam, for our punishment will be long. (Now it’s Eve too???)
Working on the beam in me own eye….smile. Loving Adam and Eve.
14 “But arise and pray to God to let us know concerning this, and what this rock is, that is spread over us like a tent.” 15 Then Adam stood up and prayed before the Lord, to let him know about this strait. And Adam thus stood praying until the morning.
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. XLIX.
The first prophecy of the Resurrection.
1 THEN the Word of God came and said: 2 “O Adam, who counselled thee, when thou earnest out of the cave, to come to this place?” 3 And Adam said unto God, “O Lord, we came to this place because of the heat of the fire, that came upon us inside the cave.”
4 Then the Lord God said unto Adam, “O Adam, thou dreadest the heat of fire for one night, but how will it be when thou dwellest in hell?
5 “Yet, O Adam, fear not, neither say in thy heart that I have spread this rock as an awning over thee, to plague thee therewith. 6 “It came from Satan, who had promised thee the Godhead and majesty. It is he who threw down this rock to kill thee under it, and Eve with thee, and thus to prevent you from living upon the earth. (Why is it when bad befalls us the first one people blame is God? I am beginning to see how old that gets for God who is all knowing of every person’s thoughts and heart to know he is always the one to blame? God did it, it’s all God’s doing does get old. Especially when people have no clue what is really taking place. I remember when Oprah said she didn’t like when God said He was a jealous God and no longer could believe in that God.?? Or something like that? Why is it most Christians aren’t blaming Satan?)
7 “But, in mercy for you, just as that rock was falling down upon you, I commanded it to form an awning over you; and the rock under you, to lower itself. 8 “And this sign, O Adam, will happen to Me at My coming upon earth: Satan will raise the people of the Jews to put Me to death; and they will lay Me in a rock, and seal a large stone upon Me, and I shall remain within that rock three days and three nights.
9 “But on the third day I shall rise again, and it shall be salvation to thee, O Adam, and to thy seed, to believe in Me. But, O Adam, I will not bring thee from under this rock until three days and three nights are passed.” 10 And God withdrew His Word from Adam. (There is the solid confirmation that Jesus foretold His plans to Adam who passed them on to his sons who passed them on to Noah who passed them on to Abraham and to the prophets and to us. Amen.)
11 But Adam and Eve abode under the rock three days and three nights, as God had told them. 12 And God did so to them because they had left their cave and had come to this same place without God’s order. 13 But, after three days and three nights, God opened the rock and brought them out from under it. Their flesh was dried up, and their eyes and their hearts were troubled from weeping and sorrow. (Is this also a representation of the prison house of hell whose gates Jesus tore down and freed the prisoners? What do you believe this reveals?)
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. L.
Adam and Eve seek to cover their nakedness.
1 THEN Adam and Eve went forth and came into the Cave of Treasures, and they stood praying in it the whole of that day, until the evening. 2 And this took place at the end of fifty days after they had left the garden. 3 But Adam and Eve rose again and prayed to God in the cave the whole of that night, and begged for mercy from Him. 4 And when the day dawned, Adam said unto Eve, “Come! let us go and do some work for our bodies.”
5 So they went out of the cave, and came to the northern border of the garden, and they sought something to cover their bodies withal. But they found nothing, and knew not how to do the work. Yet their bodies were stained, and they were speechless from cold and heat. 6 Then Adam stood and asked God to show him something wherewith to cover their bodies.
7 Then came the Word of God and said unto him, “O Adam, take Eve and come to the seashore, where ye fasted before. There ye shall find skins of sheep, whose flesh was devoured by lions, and whose skins were left. Take them and make raiment for yourselves, and clothe yourselves withal.”
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. LI.
“What is his beauty that you should have followed him?”
1 WHEN Adam heard these words from God, he took Eve and removed from the northern end of the garden to the south of it, by the river of water, where they once fasted. 2 But as they were going in the way, and before they reached that place, Satan, the wicked one, had heard the Word of God communing with Adam respecting his covering.
3 It grieved him, and he hastened to the place where the sheep-skins were, with the intention of taking them and throwing them into the sea, or of burning them with fire, that Adam and Eve should not find them. 4 But as he was about to take them, the Word of God came from heaven, and bound him by the side of those skins until Adam and Eve came near him. But as they neared him they were afraid of him, and of his hideous look.
5 Then came the Word of God to Adam and Eve, and said to them, “This is he who was hidden in the serpent, and who deceived you, and stripped you of the garment of light and glory in which you were. 6 “This is he who promised you majesty and divinity. Where, then, is the beauty that was on him? Where is his divinity? Where is his light? Where is the glory that rested on him?
7 “Now his figure is hideous; he is become abominable among angels; and he has come to be called Satan. 8 “O Adam he wished to take from you this earthly garment of sheep-skins, and to destroy it, and not let you be covered with it.
9 “What, then, is his beauty that you should have followed him? And what have you gained by hearkening to him? See his evil works and then look at Me; at Me, your Creator, and at the good deeds I do you. 10 “See, I bound him until you came and saw him and beheld his weakness, that no power is left with him.” 11 And God released him from his bonds.
(It looks to me like God is teaching Adam and Eve how to think critically and see beyond what they imagine in their head based on very limited knowledge of how to deal with lies and maneuver through hardships. It appears that God is trying hard to show Adam that he loves him and he is the one he can trust. What do you see happening here?)
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. LII.
Adam and Eve sew the first shirt.
1 AFTER this Adam and Eve said no more, but wept before God on account of their creation, and of their bodies that required an earthly covering. 2 Then Adam said unto Eve, “O Eve, this is the skin of beasts with which we shall be covered. But when we have put it on, behold, a token of death shall have come upon us, inasmuch as the owners of these skins have died, and have wasted away. So also shall we die, and pass away.”
3 Then Adam and Eve took the skins, and went back to the Cave of Treasures; and when in it, they stood and prayed as they were wont. 4 And they thought how they could make garments of those skins; for they had no skill for it.
5 Then God sent to them His angel to show them how to work it out. And the angel said to Adam, “Go forth, and bring some palm-thorns.” Then Adam went out, and brought some, as the angel had commanded him. 6 Then the angel began before them to work out the skins, after the manner of one who prepares a shirt. And he took the thorns and stuck them into the skins, before their eyes.
7 Then the angel again stood up and prayed God that the thorns in those skins should be hidden, so as to be, as it were, sewn with one thread. 8 And so it was, by God’s order; they became garments for Adam and Eve, and He clothed them withal. 9 From that time the nakedness of their bodies was covered from the sight of each other’s eyes. 10 And this happened at the end of the fifty-first day.
11 Then when Adam’s and Eve’s bodies were covered, they stood and prayed, and sought mercy of the Lord, and forgiveness, and gave Him thanks for that He had had mercy on them, and had covered their nakedness. And they ceased not from prayer the whole of that night. 12 Then when the day dawned at the rising of the sun, they said their prayers after their custom; and then went out of the cave.
13 And Adam said unto Eve, “Since we know not what there is to the westward of this cave, let us go forth and see it to-day.” Then they came forth and went towards the western border. (My first reaction is… here we go again. What’s yours?)
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. LIII.
The prophecy of the Western Lands.
1 THEY were not very far from the cave, when Satan came towards them, and hid himself between them and the cave, under the form of two ravenous lions three days without food, that came towards Adam and Eve, as if to break them in pieces and devour them.
2 Then Adam and Eve wept, and prayed God to deliver them from their paws. 3 Then the Word of God came to them, and drove away the lions from them.
4 And God said unto Adam, “O Adam, what seekest thou on the western border? And why hast thou left of thine own accord the eastern border, in which was thy dwelling-place? 5 “Now, then, turn back to thy cave, and remain in it, that Satan do not deceive thee, nor work his purpose upon thee. (This reminds me of times I go messing in places I shouldn’t be a messing in. How about you?)
6 “For in this western border, O Adam, there will go from thee a seed, that shall replenish it; and that will defile themselves with their sins, and with their yielding to the behests of Satan, and by following his works. (Sounds like he is talking about Cain?? What would you guess?)
7 “Therefore will I bring upon them the waters of a flood, and overwhelm them all. But I will deliver what is left of the righteous among them; and I will bring them to a distant land, and the land in which thou dwellest now shall remain desolate and without one inhabitant in it.”
(Ponder that one a bit. It’s not just lizard hybrids here. He’s talking about something big. Just guessing here… but wondering if that mark put upon Cain is the mark of height? Not like so many thousand feet of height but enough to be like the giants of Bashan? Remember Bashan is another name for Mt. Hermon. Just wondering. What are your thoughts. These are just thoughts, nothing more. Just looking at all angles of everything, and not to be confused with mingling of seeds. Have you ever wondered what the mark was God put on Cain to insure no one came to fight him? I have. Remember the land of the Canaanites was seed of Cain. The book of Jasher tells us that Noah also took a wife who followed God from the seed of Cain and had Ham because he also wanted to allow the seed of Cain to survive the flood. Just digging here a bit.)
8 After God had thus discoursed to them, they went back to the Cave of Treasures. But their flesh was dried up, and their strength failed from fasting and praying, and from the sorrow they felt at having trespassed against God.
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. LIV.
Adam and Eve go exploring.
1 THEN Adam and Eve stood up in the cave and prayed the whole of that night until the morning dawned. And when the sun was risen they both went out of the cave; their heads wandering from heaviness of sorrow, and they not knowing whither they went. 2 And they walked thus unto the southern border of the garden. And they began to go up that border until they came to the eastern border beyond which there was no farther space. (Here they go again????? Now what are they thinking of doing?)
3 And the cherub who guarded the garden was standing at the western gate, and guarding it against Adam and Eve, lest they should suddenly come into the garden. And the cherub turned round, as if to put them to death; according to the commandment God had given him.
4 When Adam and Eve came to the eastern border of the garden–thinking in their hearts that the cherub was not watching–as they were standing by the gate as if wishing to go in, suddenly came the cherub with a flashing sword of fire in his hand; and when he saw them, he went forth to kill them. For he was afraid lest God should destroy him if they went into the garden without His order. 5 And the sword of the cherub seemed to flame afar off. But when he raised it over Adam and Eve, the flame thereof did not flash forth.
6 Therefore did the cherub think that God was favourable to them, and was bringing them back into the garden. And the cherub stood wondering.
7 He could not go up to Heaven to ascertain God’s order regarding their getting into the garden; he therefore abode standing by them, unable as he was to part from them; for he was afraid lest they should enter the garden without leave from God, who then would destroy him. 8 When Adam and Eve saw the cherub coming towards them with a flaming sword of fire in his hand, they fell on their faces from fear, and were as dead.
9 At that time the heavens and the earth shook; and other cherubim came down from heaven to the cherub who guarded the garden, and saw him amazed and silent. 10 Then, again, other angels came down nigh unto the place where Adam and Eve were. They were divided between joy and sorrow.
11 They were glad, because they thought that God was favourable to Adam, and wished him to return to the garden; and wished to restore him to the gladness he once enjoyed. 12 But they sorrowed over Adam, because he was fallen like a dead man, he and Eve; and they said in their thoughts, “Adam has not died in this place; but God has put him to death, for his having come to this place, and wishing to get into the garden without His leave.”
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. LV.
The Conflict of Satan.
THEN came the Word of God to Adam and Eve, and raised them from their dead state, saying unto them, “Why came ye up hither? Do, you intend to go into the garden, from which I brought you out? it can not be to-day; but only when the covenant I have made with you is fulfilled.”
2 Then Adam, when he heard the Word of God, and the fluttering of the angels whom he did not see, but only heard the sound of them with his ears, he and Eve wept, and said to the angels: 3 “O Spirits, who wait upon God, look upon me, and upon my being unable to see you! For when I was in my former bright nature, then I could see you. I sang praises as you do; and my heart was far above you.
4 “But now, that I have transgressed, that bright nature is gone from me, and I am come to this miserable state. And now am I come to this, that I cannot see you, and you do not serve me As you were wont. For I am become animal flesh. 5 “Yet now O angels of God, ask God with me, to restore me to that wherein I was formerly; to rescue me from this misery, and to remove from me the sentence of death He passed upon me, for having trespassed against Him.”
6 Then, when the angels heard these words, they all grieved over him; and cursed Satan who had beguiled Adam, until he came from the garden to misery; from life to death; from peace to trouble; and from gladness to a strange land. 7 Then the angels said unto Adam, “Thou didst hearken to Satan, and didst forsake the Word of God who created thee; and thou didst believe that Satan would fulfil all he had promised thee.
The angels tell adam of the war in heaven…
8 “But now, O Adam, we will make known to thee, what came upon us through him, before his fall from heaven. 9 “He gathered together his hosts, and deceived them, promising them to give them a great kingdom, a divine nature; and other promises he made them.
10 “His hosts believed that. his word was true, so they yielded to him, and renounced the glory of God.
11 “He then sent for us according to the orders in which we were-to come under his command, and to hearken to his vain promise. But we would not, and we took not his advice. 12 “Then after he had fought with God, and had dealt forwardly with Him, he gathered together his hosts, and made war with us. And if it had not been for God’s strength that was with us, we could not have prevailed against him to hurl him from heaven.
13 “But when he fell from among us, there was great joy in heaven, because of his going down from us. For had he continued in heaven, nothing, not even one angel would have remained in it. 14 “But God in His mercy, drove him from among us to this dark earth; for he had become darkness itself and a worker of unrighteousness.
15 “And he has continued, O Adam, to make war against thee, until he beguiled thee and made thee come out of the garden, to this strange land, where all these trials have come to thee. And death, which God brought upon him he has also brought to thee, O Adam, because thou didst obey him, and didst transgress against God.”
16 Then the angels rejoiced and praised God, and asked Him not to destroy Adam this time, for his having sought to enter the garden; but to bear with him until the fulfilment of the promise; and to help him in this world until he was free from Satan’s hand.
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. LVI.
A chapter of divine comfort.
1 THEN came the Word of God to Adam, and said unto him: 2 “O Adam, look at that garden of joy and at this earth of toil, and behold the angels who are in the garden-that is full of them, and see thyself alone on this earth, with Satan whom thou didst obey.
3 “Yet, if thou hadst submitted, and been obedient to Me, and hadst kept My Word, thou wouldst be with My angels in My garden. (Is this some big clue to some other meaning? Just thinking out loud and asking. Nothing more.)
4 “But when thou didst transgress and hearken to Satan, thou didst become his guest among his angels, that are full of wickedness; and thou camest to this earth, that brings forth to thee thorns and thistles.
5 “O Adam, ask him who deceived thee, to give thee the divine nature he promised thee, or to make thee a garden as I had made for thee; or to fill thee with that same bright nature with which I had filled thee. 6 “Ask him to make thee a body like the one I made thee, or to give thee a day of rest as I gave thee; or to create within thee a reasonable soul, as I did create for thee; or to remove thee hence to some other earth than this one which I gave thee. But, O Adam, he will not fulfil even one of the things he told thee.
7 “Acknowledge, then, My favour towards thee, and My mercy on thee, My creature; that I have not requited thee for thy transgression against Me, but in My pity for thee I have promised thee that at the end of the great five days and a half I will come and save thee.” 8 Then God said again to Adam and Eve, “Arise, go down hence, lest the cherub with a sword of fire in his hand destroy you.” 9 But Adam’s heart was comforted by God’s words to him, and he worshipped before Him. 10 And God commanded His angels to escort Adam and Eve to the cave with joy, instead of the fear that had come upon them.
11 Then the angels took up Adam and Eve, and brought them down from the mountain by the garden, with songs and psalms, until they brought them to the cave. There the angels began to comfort and to strengthen them, and then departed from them towards heaven, to their Creator, who had sent them.
12 But, after the angels were gone from Adam and Eve, came Satan, with shamefacedness, and stood at the entrance of the cave in which were Adam and Eve. He then called to Adam, and said, “O Adam, come, let me speak to thee.” 13 Then Adam came out of the cave, thinking he was one of God’s angels that was come to give him some good counsel.
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. LVII.
“Therefore did I fall. . .
1 BUT when Adam came out and saw his hideous figure, he was afraid of him, and said unto him, “Who art thou?” 2 Then Satan answered and said unto him, “It is I, who hid myself within the serpent, and who talked to Eve, and beguiled her until she hearkened to my command. I am he who sent her, through the wiles of my speech, to deceive thee, until thou and she ate of the fruit of the tree, and ye came away from under the command of God.”
3 But when Adam heard these words from him, he said unto him, “Canst thou make me a garden as God made for me? Or canst thou clothe me in the same bright nature in which God had clothed me?
4 “Where is the divine nature thou didst promise to give me? Where is that fair speech of thine, thou didst hold with us at first, when we were in the garden?”
5 Then Satan said unto Adam, “Thinkest thou, that when I have spoken to one about anything, I shall ever bring it to him or fulfil my word? Not so. For I myself have never even thought of obtaining what I asked.
6 “Therefore did I fall, and did I make you fall by that for which I myself fell; and with you also, whosoever accepts my counsel, falls thereby.
7 “But now, O Adam, by reason of thy fall thou art under my rule, and I am king over thee; because thou hast hearkened to me, and hast transgressed against thy God. Neither will there be any deliverance from my hands until the day promised thee by thy God.”
8 Again he said, “Inasmuch as we do not know the day agreed upon with thee by thy God, nor the hour in which thou shalt be delivered, for that reason will we multiply war and murder upon thee and thy seed after thee. 9 “This is our will and our good pleasure, that we may not leave one of the sons of men to inherit our orders in heaven.
10 “For as to our abode, O Adam, it is in burning fire; and we will not cease our evil doing no, not one day nor one hour. And I, O Adam, shall sow fire upon thee when thou comest into the cave to dwell there.”
11 When Adam heard these words he wept and mourned, and said unto Eve, “Hear what he said; that he will not fulfil aught of what he told thee in the garden. Did he really then become king over us? 12 “But we will ask God, who created us, to deliver us out of his hands.”
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. LVIII.
“About sunset on the 53rd day . . . .”
THEN Adam and Eve spread their hands unto God, praying and entreating Him to drive Satan away from them; that he do them no violence, and do not force them to deny God. 2 Then God sent to them at once His angel, who drove away Satan–from them. This happened about sunset, on the fifty-third day after they had come out of the garden. 3 Then Adam and Eve went into the cave, and stood up and turned their faces to the earth, to pray to God.
4 But where they prayed Adam said unto Eve, “Lo, thou hast seen what temptations have befallen us in this land. Come, let us arise, and ask God to forgive us the sins we have committed; and we will not come out until the end of the day next to the fortieth. And if we die herein, He will save us.”
5 Then Adam and Eve arose, and joined together in entreating God. 6 They abode thus praying in the cave; neither did they come out of it, by night or by day, until their prayers went up out of their mouths, like a flame of fire.
Video above: What is the tree of life and what was the tree of knowledge of good and evil? Are these metaphors or actual trees? Just asking. Ponder it.
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. LIX.
Eighth apparition of Satan to Adam and Eve.
1 BUT Satan, the hater of all good, did not allow them to end their prayers. For he called to his hosts, and they came, all of them. He then said to them, “Since Adam and Eve, whom we beguiled, have agreed together to pray to God night and day, and to entreat Him to deliver them, and since they will not come out of the cave until the end of the fortieth day.
2 “And since they will continue their prayers as they have both agreed to do, that He will deliver them out of our hands, and restore them to their former state, see what we shall do unto them.” And his hosts said unto him, “Power is thine, O our Lord, to do what thou listest.” 3 Then Satan, great in wickedness, took his hosts and came into the cave, in the thirtieth night of the forty days and one; and he smote Adam and Eve, until he left them dead.
4 Then came the Word of God unto Adam and Eve, who raised them from their suffering, and God said unto Adam, “Be strong, and be not afraid of him who has just come to thee.” 5 But Adam wept and said, “Where wast Thou, O my God, that they should smite me with such blows, and that this suffering should come upon us; upon me and upon Eve, Thy handmaid?”
6 Then God said unto him, “O Adam, see, he is lord and master of all thou hast, he who said, he would give thee divinity. Where is this love for thee? And where is the gift he promised?
7 “For once has it pleased him, O Adam, to come to thee, to comfort thee, and to strengthen thee, and to rejoice with thee, and to send his hosts to guard thee; because thou hast hearkened to him, and hast yielded to his counsel; and hast transgressed My commandment but has followed his behest?” (So it appears that since they agreed to do Satan’s bidding… he considered that a deal? This reminds me of Hollywood and the music industry and all the deals corporate structures have. Secret societies and spy program networks. Contracts with fine print… that you don’t read before you sign on and begin to do whatever it is they have you do or you agreed to. Adam was the first contract signer. Now it is a war for his soul. The very same war is ongoing to this day. What comparisons do you see taking place?)
8 Then Adam wept before the Lord, and said, “O Lord because I transgressed a little, Thou hast sorely plagued me in return for it, I ask Thee to deliver me out of his hands; or else have pity on me, and take my soul out of my body now in this strange land.”
9 Then God said unto Adam, “If only there had been this sighing and praying before, thou didst transgress! Then wouldst thou have rest from the trouble in which thou art now.” 10 But God had patience with Adam, and let him and Eve remain in the cave until they had fulfilled the forty days.
11 But as to Adam and Eve, their strength and flesh withered from fasting and praying, from hunger and thirst; for they had not tasted either food or drink since they left the garden; nor were the functions of their bodies yet settled; and they had no strength left to continue in prayer from hunger, until the end of the next day to the fortieth. They were fallen down in the cave; yet what speech escaped from their mouths, was only in praises.
Adam and Eve Book 2, CHAP. LX.
The Devil appears like an old man. He offers “a place of rest.”
1 THEN on the eighty-ninth day, Satan came to the cave, clad in a garment of light, and girt about with a bright girdle.
2 In his hands was a staff of light, and he looked most awful: but his face was pleasant and his speech was sweet, (Was he appearing as a wise man, a wizard?)
3 He thus transformed himself in order to deceive Adam and Eve, and to make them come out of the cave, ere they had fulfilled the forty days. 4 For he said within himself, “Now that when they had fulfilled the forty days’ fasting and praying, God would restore them to their former estate; but if He did not do so, He would still be favourable to them; and even if He had not mercy on them, would He yet give them something from the garden to comfort them; as already twice before.”
5 Then Satan drew near the cave in this fair appearance, and said: 6 “O Adam, rise ye, stand up, thou and Eve, and come along with me, to a good land; and fear not. I am flesh and bones like you; and at first I was a creature that God created.
7 “And it was so, that when He had created me, He placed me in a garden in the north, on the border of the world. 8 “And He said to me, ‘Abide here!’ And I abode there according to His Word, neither did I transgress His commandment.
9 “Then He made a slumber to come over me, and He brought thee, O Adam, out of my side, but did not make thee abide by me. 10 “But God took thee in His divine hand, and placed thee in a garden to the eastward. 11 “Then I grieved because of thee, for that while God had taken thee out of my side, He had not let thee abide with me. (His cutting lies are designed to gain pity and make God look cruel or for the greater good?)
12 “But God said unto me: ‘Grieve not because of Adam, whom I brought out of thy side; no harm will come to him.
13 “‘For now I have brought out of his side a help-meet for him; and I have given him joy by so doing.'” (Out of his side…same as Eve was taken out of Adam’s side. Not a rib, not a bone. His side? I wonder what the hebrew word for rib and ‘out of his side’ are? Can the original word mean the same thing as out of side? Could translaters decided it meant rib? Did they pick what they thought it should mean like so many of the words? Just curious for I heard Pastor Scott speak on the translation for “out of the side” recently and the word rib and bone??? I will have to dig a bit on that one. I confess I wasn’t paying attention to it then. Smile. I am now. )
14 Then Satan said again, “I did not know how it is ye are in this cave, nor anything about this trial that has come upon you-until God said to me, ‘Behold, Adam has transgressed, he whom I had taken out of thy side, and Eve also, whom I took out of his side; and I have driven them out of the garden; I have made them dwell in a land of sorrow and misery, because they transgressed against Me, and have hearkened to Satan. And lo, they are in suffering unto this day, the eightieth.’
15 “Then God said unto me, ‘Arise, go to them, and make them come to thy place, and suffer not that Satan come near them, and afflict them. For they are now in great misery; and lie helpless from hunger.’
16 “He further said to me, ‘When thou hast taken them to thyself, give them to eat of the fruit of the Tree of Life, and give them to drink of the water of peace; and clothe them in a garment of light, and restore them to their former state of grace, and leave them not in misery, for they came from thee. But grieve not over them, nor repent of that which has come upon them.’
17 “But when I heard this, I was sorry; and my heart could not patiently bear it for thy sake, O my child. 18 “But, O Adam, when I heard the name of Satan, I was afraid, and I said within myself, I will not come out, lest he ensnare me, as he did my children, Adam and Eve. 19 “And I said, ‘O God, when I go to my children, Satan will meet me in the way, and war against me, as he did against them.’
20 “Then God said unto me, ‘Fear not; when thou findest him, smite him with the staff that is in thine hand, and be not afraid of him for thou art of old standing, and he shall not prevail against thee.’ 21 “Then I said, ‘O my Lord, I am old, and cannot go. Send Thy angels to bring them.’
22 “But God said unto me, ‘Angels, verily, are not like them; and they will not consent to come with them. But I have chosen thee, because they are thy offspring, and like thee, and will hearken to what thou sayest.’ (an old decrepit light being? Adam surely is not buying into this is he?)
23 “God said further to me, ‘If thou hast not strength to walk, I will send a cloud to carry thee and alight thee at the entrance of their cave; then the cloud will return and leave thee there.
24 “‘And if they will come with thee, I will send a cloud to carry thee and them.’ 25 “Then He commanded a cloud, and it bare me up and brought me to you; and then went back. 26 “And now O my children, Adam and Eve, look at my hoar hairs and at my feeble estate, and at my coming from that distant place. Come, come with me, to a place of rest.” (Wolf in sheeps or decrepit clothes for sure.)
27 Then he began to weep and to sob before Adam and Eve, and his tears poured upon the earth like water. 28 And when Adam and Eve raised their eyes and saw his beard, and heard his sweet talk, their hearts softened towards him; they hearkened unto him, for they believed he was true. (Oh so here we go. He’s transformed into Gandalf to guide them like in Lord of the Rings.)
29 And it seemed to them that they really were his offspring, when they saw that his face was like their own; and they trusted him.
(Reading Adam and Eve is like a fairy tale in parts and like today’s life in the rest. All the evil and poor decisions based on deceit and disguises of the evil. It all comes full circle and circles within circles of the rinse and repeat schemes. Evil, hatred, and kill, steal and destroy…so literally. The Word of God, Jesus, knew this from the beginning of creation. We are just beginning to wake up to see and hear it. Amen.)
