Read Proverbs 3:11-18. Wisdom is a female.
Notice that SHE (wisdom) is a tree of life. The tree of life then is unattainable without her. Without her, all will perish because she is the Mother of all living. I propose that she is EVE (Gen. 3:20), but only after she had eaten from the tree of knowledge of good and evil and her eyes were opened. People perish where there is novision (Prov. 29:18). People are also destroyed for lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). If Eve's quest for wisdom, via the tree of knowledge, brings life...WHY HAS EVE ALWAYS BEEN BLAMED FOR COMMITTING THE ULTIMATE SIN OF DISOBEDIENCE? Why not blame her, after all aw-dawm blamed her (Gen. 3:12)? WE'VE BEEN TAUGHT THAT SHE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CURSE PUT ON MAN, WOMAN AND THE BEAST, THAT SOME BELIEVE STILL EXISTS TODAY (even though the Bible says there is no more curse Rev. 22:3). Take a look at it (Read Gen. 3:14-24). He curses the voice of experience (serpent) first. Verse 14: cattle; the dumb beast. Beast: congregation (Strongs H2416 from H2421). UPON THY BELLY (H1512, as the source of the fetus from 1518, to gush forth as water); compare H1521, GIHON, the river of paradise (Gen. 2:14). A CHANNEL OF WATER THAT FLOWED FROM THE SPRING OF GIHON. King Solomon was anointed there (I Kings 1:33, 38, 45). A very important historical fact: The SILOAM TUNNEL WAS CONSTRUCTED by King Hezekiah in 701 B.C. (II Chron. 32:30). THIS CONNECTED THE SPRING OF GIHON TO THE POOL OF SILOAM IN JERUSALEM. John 7:37-39, "out of YOUR belly shall flow rivers of living water" (the Holy Spirit).
Dust: (THE MESSAGE OF DEATH) is now the serpent's food.
Verse 15, the woman: he puts ENMITY; TO HATE (AS ONE OF AN OPPOSITE TRIBE OR PARTY, thus to have hostility) BETWEEN THE FRUIT OF THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE AND WISDOM'S OFFSPRING (THE MESSAGE OF LIFE). IT (HATRED) WILL BRUISE HIS HEEL (COVER HIS TRACK, DNA).
Ever since that time, women's appetites for food, knowledge, or power to name a few, have been viewed negatively; fueling a fire of guilt and shame when or if these areas are even explored. Men unable to show nurturing to their children and feeling threatened when "mom" goes to work. Other areas in need of healing include:
Eating food, the number one addiction.
Drinking coffee? Wine, never.
Sleeping? Aw-dawm still is.
Work? To do or not to do...it's the man's role.
Play? Boys don't play with dolls.
Sex? The big no-no.
Strength? The weaker sex; don't be a sissy boy.
Creativity? Creative men must be gay.
Did you know that in hebrew scriptures; in the Talmud; and in the texts of the Kabala, Eve was not Adam's first wife. In rabbinical legend, Lilith was Adam's first wife. She and Adam were created at the same time, and she gave Adam the gift of wisdom before she flew away, leaving him alone in the garden. In some versions, she leaves because she refuses to be subservient to Adam. The Lord God then creates Eve as a submissive partner for Adam. We have already purposed that the serpent was the voice (whisper) of experience (Strongs H5172). Isn't experience always the best teacher?
If we however, for a moment consider as we have previously studied that the God of this world had purposely blinded her eyes (II Cor. 4:4); it would also make sense that the greater sins, the "LIES" were those instituted by the Lord God. They didn't die the day they ate wisdom but realized that they were naked. The Lord God knew that they weren't covered. Did he somehow forget to tell them or had he led them to believe they were covered? Now the only way they were not going to now have eternal life was to kick them out of the garden. Christ is the way to eternal life. THERE'S A REASON WHY MANY OF THOSE WHO JESUS HEALED OF BLINDNESS WERE TOLD NOT TO TELL ANYONE ABOUT IT, until after his resurrection. Matt. 9:27, Mark 8:22. John 9:1-23: Jesus heals the blind man; verse 7, wash in the pool of Siloam; verse 14, Jesus healed on the sabbath or seventh day; verse 22, if anyone would confess Jesus as Christ, they would be thrown out of the synogogue.
Read Rev. 3:18-19. This is to the seventh church (Laodiceans). "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. (Verse 19), as many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent." Gold tried by fire is God's divine nature, specifically the hidden wisdom of God (I Cor. 2:7). The white raiment is the covering of those who go through great tribulation. Take special care to notice the phrase "shame of thy nakedness." A better translation is DISHONESTY or LIE of thy nakedness. This is the lie regarding COVERING. (Re-read Gen. 3:6-7).
The wisdom of God (as gold) is pleasant to the eyes as eyesalve. God covers us in white garments and that's no lie. God loves us, so he corrects our way of thinking. Let's forgive Eve (that emotional, nurturing, life giving part of all of us). When I feel the Spirit of Jesus near me, I often begin to cry.
