ELOHIM REVEALS THE ELEMENTARY LAW OF LIFE AND
DEATH TO MAN BY TWO TREES
DT. 3019. I call heaven and earth to record
this day against you, that I have set before you
life and death, blessing and cursing therefore
choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live
OBEDIENCE, THE FRUIT OF LIFE
DISOBEDIENCE, THE FRUIT OF DEATH
CHOICE IS REPRESENTED BY CHOOSING THE FRUIT OF
TWO TREES. THE ONE BEARING THE FRUIT OF LIFE AND
T HE OTHER THE FRUIT OF DEATHWHICH MEANS ONLY
---LOVE GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS TO LIVE,
---OR CHOOSE OTHERWISE AND AND DIE. God gave the
law of life in extreme simplicity . Man may not
ALWAYS understand, but he can obey. Same with
children AND DANGERS.
6
JESUS DEMONSTRATED THAT THE WAY OF HOLINESS
LOVE IS THE WAY OF LIFE

• John 11 In the beginning was the Word, and the
  word was God.
• John 14. In him (the Word) was life and the
  life was the light of men.
• 15. If ye love me, keep my commandments.
• ONE IS ONLY FEIGNING LOVE FOR JESUS IF HE
  SECRETLY OPPOSES ANY PART OF HIS WORD OF LIFE

7
The Fruit of the Two Trees as Seen in the New
Testament
THE TREE OF LIFE. Gal. 522. But the fruit of
the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23. meekness,
self-control against such there is no law. 24.
And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified
the flesh with the passions and the lusts
thereof. 25. If we live by the Spirit, by the
Spirit let us also walk..
8
The Fruit of the Two Trees as it is still being
eaten in the New Testament

• THE FRUIT OF THE THE TREE OF DEATH Gal. 519.
  Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which
  are these fornication, uncleanness,
  lasciviousness,
• 20. idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife,
  jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, parties,
  
• 21. envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and such
  like of which I forewarn you, even as I did
  forewarn you, that they who practise such things
  shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

9
The Fruit of Death in Romans

• Rom. 125 28. And even as they refused to
  have God in their knowledge, God gave them up
  unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which
  are not fitting 29. being filled with all
  unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness,
  maliciousness full of envy, murder, strife,
  deceit, malignity whisperers, 30. backbiters,
  hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful,
  inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
  
• 31. without understanding, covenant-breakers,
  without natural affection, unmerciful 32. who,
  knowing the ordinance of God, that they that
  practise such things are worthy of death, not
  only do the same, but also consent with them that
  practise them.

10
Genesis 3

• 1. Now the serpent was more subtle than any
  beast of the field which Jehovah God had made.
  And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said,
  Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?
• 2. And the woman said unto the serpent, Of the
  fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat
• 3. but of the fruit of the tree which is in the
  midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
  eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye
  die.
• 4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
  shall not surely die
• 5. for God doth know that in the day ye eat
  thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
  shall be as God, knowing good and evil.

11
WHY DID MAN MAKE SUCH A FOOLISH DECISION? HE
WAS DECEIVED!

• IT NEVER ENTERED MANS HEART TO SIN (DISOBEYMISS
  THE MARK) ON HIS OWN. HE HAD DIABOLICAL HELP.
• IS THIS WHY MAN RECEIVED GRACE IN HIS FALL, WHILE
  THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS DID NOT IN THEIR
  REBELLION AGAINST DIVINE AUTHORITY?

12
THE FALL Forearm yourself with this knowledge

• 1. Temptation comes like a serpent in
  unsuspected forms
• Subtly, stealing slowly and quietly, waiting for
  your weakest moment, and then bites with pain
  and sorrow.
• 2. It launches a bridgehead in your heart by
  exciting your curiosity
• Curiosity killed the Cat
• Our greatest security against sin lies in our
  being shocked by it. (Jer. 615)
• 3. Eve was in close proximity to the forbidden.
• She gazed and reflected when she should have fled

13
THE FALL Forearm yourself with this knowledge

• 4. There are dangerous cravings in its elements.
• Instinctively draws toward the mysterious. One
  veiled figure in an assembly will draw more
  attention than the most beautiful present. An
  unaccountable appearance in the heavens will draw
  more attention than the most beautiful sunset.
• 5. Through cravings to be mature, even at the
  expense of danger, unbelief disobedience finds
  entrance
• 6. Experience teaches that one taste of evil
  ruined our first parents. One taste alters
  attitudes.
• Loyalty to to God is loosened, man loses spirit.

14
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE PRESENCE OF THE FORBIDDEN.

• 1. AS SHE GAZED AT ITS BEAUTY, , SHE LONGED IN
  HER HEART, SHE WAS WEAKENED BY CRAVING
• 2, THEN SHE SAW AN INCREDIBLE THING THAT SEEMED
  TO MAKE GOD FALSE. A SERPENT DEVOURED THE
  FORBIDDEN FRUIT WITHOUT ANY HARM.
• 4. SHE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND THISHAD GOD BEEN
  COMPLETELY TRUE?
• 5. THE DEVIL USES THE MOMENT SPEAKS TO HER
  HEARTS DESIRE.

15
The Serpents Seed is Sown in Eves Heart

• 1. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God
  said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the
  garden?
• Inferred God has not been fair with you

16
Eves Reply Shows her Resentment and
VulnerabilityShes a sitting duck for Satan, an
accident waiting to happen.

• Gen. 32. And the woman said unto the serpent,
  We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the
  garden
• 3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
  midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not
  eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

17
THE FIRST LIE IN THE WORLD WAS NOT TOLD BY MAN

• 4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye
  shall not surely die
• GOD HAD SAID 217. But of the tree of the
  knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of
  it for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou
  shalt surely die.

18
JESUS REFERS TO THIS IN JOHN 844

• 44. Ye are of your father the devil, and the
  lusts of your father ye will do. He was a
  murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the
  truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
  speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own for he is
  a liar, and the father of it.
• 45. And because I tell you the truth, ye
  believe me no

19
SATAN STILL PERVERTS WITH THE NOT IN HIS TALE.

• JESUS MARK 1616
• HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS BAPTIZED SHALL BE SAVED.
• SATAN HE THAT BELIEVETH AND IS NOT BAPTIZED
  SHALL BE SAVED.

20
OBSERVE ANOTHER NOT IN THE DEVILS TALE TODAY

• THE BIBLE SAYS
• I Cor. 1012. Wherefore let him that thinketh he
  standeth take heed lest he fall.
• SATANS NOT
• YOU CAN NOT SURELY FALL.

21
THE SERPENTS APPEAL TO PRIDE

• 5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat
  thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye
  shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
• EXPERIENCING THE AFTERMATH EFFECT OF EVIL WAS THE
  KNOWLEDGE GOD DID NOT WANT THEM TO EVER KNOW.
• A common feeling of parents today with their
  children.

22
Eve is overpowered by craving and succumbs to the
temptation.

• 3 6. And when the woman
• 1) saw that the tree was good for food (she
  walked by sight not by faith and became
  convinced that God had lied) (2 Cor. 57)
  
• 2) and that it was pleasant to the eyes,
  
• 3) and a tree to be desired to make one wise,
  
  
• 4) She took of the fruit thereof.

23
THE NEW KNOWLEDGE ---WAS EXPERIENCING THE
EFFECT OF SIN. WHY DIDNT THEY CLAP THEIR HANDS
IN JOY?

• 1. THE NEW KNOWLEDGE WAS NOT WHAT THE COUPLE
  EXPECTED
• 2. EXPECTED SUFFICIENCY WITHOUT GOD
• 3. EXPECTED THE DISCOVERY OF A MYSTERY
• 4. EXPECTED TO BE EQUAL WITH GOD IN WISDOM

24
THE INNOCENT, HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE NEW
EXPERIENCE OF SIN BRINGS

• THE SCARS THAT SIN WOULD BRING TO THEM!
• THEIR INNOCENCE WAS GONE, GONE, GONE
• THAT THEY HAD A CONSCIENCE THAT WOULD DOG THEM IN
  THE NIGHT FOR THE REST OF LIFE.
• FEELING DEFILED AND UNCLEAN, AFRAID OF THE
  PRESENCE OF THE HOLINESS OF GOD.
• THINGS WOULD NEVER, NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN.
• THAT IN THEIR NEW DEFILEMENT THEY WOULD FORFEIT
  THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
• THEIR LOSS WAS AWESOME TO BEAR. SEPARATION FROM
  THE TREE OF LIFE.

25
The knowledge God did not want them (man) to ever
Have

• PHYSICAL PAIN AND SUFFERING
• A BROKEN FAMILY LIFESEEING THEIR SON MURDER HIS
  BROTHER
• EMOTIONAL PAIN AND SUFFERING
• THE EFFECTS OF SIN IN AGING THE BODY AND DEATH
  ARE ALWAYS A THREAT
• THE FEELING OF A GULF AND DISTANCE FROM GOD.

26
Consequences of the fall.

• 1. Eyes were opened. ---Gen. 37. And the eyes
  of them both were openedthe new knowledge came
  and brought
• 2. Knowledge of guilt shame. They knew they
  were naked (loss of innocence) and they sewed
  fig leaves together, and made themselves
  aprons---Even still, criminals cover their faces
  before the camera
• 3. Neither wanted to accept responsibility for
  their sin.
• MAN CANNOT COVER HIS SIN WITH FLIMSY EXCUSES
  BEFORE GOD'S ALL SEEING EYE.

27
IN THE WAKE OF SIN. GODS LOVE PROMISES GRACE IN
THE PROTOEVANGELION

• 315. THE OLDEST GOSPEL
• And I will put enmity between thee and the woman,
  and between thy seed and her seed it shall
  bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
• HERE WE HAVE
• 1. HER SEEDVIRGIN BIRTH
• 2. BRUISE THY HEAD..DEFEAT OF SATAN
• 3. BRUISE HIS HEEL..SUFFERING SAVIOR.

28
ADEQUATE COVERING FOR THEIR NEW CONSCIENCE OF
NAKEDNESS WAS THE SHEDDING OF BLOOD OF AN
INNOCENT ANIMALTHEIR FIRST EXPERIENCE OF A DEATH

• 321. Unto Adam also and to his wife did the
  Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
• 1. Self covering was inadequate
• 2. Blood was shed and death occurred
• 3. Rom. 323 The wages of sin is death.
• 4. Sin is awesome in its effects on society.

29
THE EXCOMMUNICATION FROM EDEN AND THE GULF THAT
SIN CREATES BETWEEN GOD AND MAN

• 322 And now, lest he put forth his hand, and
  take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live
  for ever 23. Therefore the Lord God sent him
  forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground
  from whence he was taken.
• 324. So he drove out the man and he placed at
  the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a
  flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the
  way of the tree of life.

30
WHERE IS THE TREE OF LIFE NOW?

• Rev. 27. He that hath an ear, let him hear what
  the Spirit saith unto the churches To him that
  overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of
  life, which is in the midst of the paradise of
  God.
• Rev. 2214. Blessed are they that do his
  commandments, that they may have right to the
  tree of life, and may enter in through the gates
  into the city.

31
TO RETURN TO THE TREE OF LIFE ONE MUST BE SLAIN
BY THE SWORD OF GODS WORD.

• GEN. 324 He placed at the east of the garden of
  Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned
  every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
• Heb. 412. For the word of God is quick, and
  powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword,
  piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and
  spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a
  discerner of the thoughts and intents of the
  heart.

32
WHEN ONE BELIEVES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD
RAISED FROM THE DEAD IT IS SAID THAT HE IS CUT
TO THE HEART) . i.e. SPIRITUALLY SLAIN (REPENTS
IN SORROW)

• ACTS 237. Now when they heard this, they were
  pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and
  to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren,
  what shall we do?
• Matthew 54 Blessed are they that mourn for
  they shall be comforted.
• Rom. 67. For he that is dead is freed from
  sin.
• 8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe
  that we shall also live with him

33
THE SWORD (GOSPEL) PIERCES THE HEART, SLAYING THE
SINNER, AND THEN HE IS BURIED WITH CHRIST IN
BAPTISM

• 4. Therefore we are buried with him by baptism
  into death that like as Christ was raised up
  from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so
  we also should walk in newness of life.
• 5. For if we have been planted together in the
  likeness of his death, we shall be also in the
  likeness of his resurrection
• 6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified
  with him, that the body of sin might be
  destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve
  sin.
• 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin.

34
GODS RAINBOW OF GRACE AT THE PORTALS
OF SOCIAL HISTORY
THE PRECIOUS PROMISE
315. and I will put enmity between thee and
the woman, and between thy seed and her seed he
shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his
heel.
35
From the Fall in Eden

• THE BLESSED AND CURSED MOTIF
• COEXIST IN TWO SEEDS

36
TWO SEEDS THAT COEXIST
THE WOMANS SEED
THE SERPENTS SEED

• The blessed seed . . . Those who walk by faith in
  the word of God.

• The cursed seed . . . Those who reject the word
  of God and walk after their own lusts

WAR
37
THIS IS A WAR BETWEEN

• GOOD AND EVIL
• HONESTY AND DECEIT
• THE SPIRIT AND THE MATERIAL
• GOD AND SATAN
• THE FUTURE AND NOW

38
THEY HAVE DIFFERENT GOALS

• The faith seed defines success in terms of God,
  spiritual possessions, eternal life.
• Matt. 619-20 Lay not up for yourselves treasures
  upon the earth---but lay up for yourselves
  treasures in heaven,

• The unbelieving seed defines success in terms of
  physical possessionsgod of this world.
• Luke 1219. And I will say to my soul, Soul,
  thou hast much goods laid up for many years take
  thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.

39
JESUS NO ONE CAN BE ON BOTH SIDES

• Matthew 24. No man can serve two masters for
  either he will hate the one, and love the other
  or else he will hold to one, and despise the
  other.

40
WHAT IS AT STAKE?

• The saving of Man Big Quest. Is God Able to
  Fulfill His promised
• Can the curse of sin prevent the blessing?
• Can Satan, using his power to deceive man with
  his power of sinful lies and murder, mock God?
• The Pentateuch (and entire Bible) demonstrates
  that flood, famine, earthly governments or
  pestilence can prevent Gods from fulfilling His
  promise. Obstacles will only becomes the divine
  means for protecting the blessing

41
SERPENTS SEED WILL BRUISE THE PROMISED SEEDS
HEEL

• THE BLESSING WILL BE WITH THE RIGHTEOUS, BUT AT
  THE EXPENSE OF SUFFERING.
• Matt. 5 11. Blessed are ye, when men shall
  revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all
  manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
• 12. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad for great
  is your reward in heaven for so persecuted they
  the prophets which were before you.

42
ALL ARE IN EITHER OF TWO SEEDS
FROM CAIN ABEL
TO LAST SOUL
HISTORY BEGINS TO UNFOLD WITH EXAMPLES OF THE
TWO SEEDS

• ABEL (Spirit))
• Heb. 114. By faith Abel offered unto God a
  more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he
  obtained witness that he was righteous, God
  testifying of his gifts

• CAIN (Fleshj)
• Gen. 45. But unto Cain and to his offering he
  had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his
  countenance fell.
• I John 312. Not as Cain, who was of that
  wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore
  slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and
  his brother's righteous.

43
Cains Sin Includes All Sin

• CAIN VIOLATED TWO BASIC PRINCIPLES OF DIVINITY
  AND BROTHERHOOD
• Dt. 6 5. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God
  with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and
  with all thy might.
• He worshipped as he pleased, and not as it
  pleased God.
• Lev. 1918 Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
  thyself
• He killed his brother because his worship was
  acceptable and his were not.

44
THE ATTITUDE OF CAIN SHOWS THE MENTALITY OF THE
SERPENTS SEED

• 49. And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel
  thy brother? And he said, I know not am I my
  brother's keeper?
• Notice to Adam 39 Where art thou?
• I JNO. 2 10. He that loveth his brother abideth
  in the light, and there is none occasion of
  stumbling in him. 11. But he that hateth his
  brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness,
  and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that
  darkness hath blinded his eyes.

45
THE PENTATEUCH ILLUSTRATES THAT THE WAGES OF SIN
IS DEATH
Gen. 4 16. And Cain went out from the presence
of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the
east of Eden. In 7 generations from Adam are
found living by the law of the jungle. Adam-Cain-E
noch-Irad-Mehujael-Methusael-Lamech. Polygamy
begins 423-24 And Lamech took unto him two
wives I have slain a man to my wounding, and a
young man to my hurt. If Cain shall be avenged
sevenfold, truly Lamech seventy and
sevenfold. SEVEN GENERATION ENDS THE TOLDOT OF
CAIN
46
NOW THE RECORD SHOWS WHAT HAPPENS TO THE FAITH
SEED IN 7 GENERATION IN THE TOLDOTH OF ADAM VIA
SETH

• And Adam - Seth- Enos - Cainan Mahalaleel-
  Cainan - Jared --- Enoch
• In seven generations union/harmony with God.
  Gen. 522 And Enoch walked with God and he was
  not for God took him. The lesson Walking in
  the light reaps eternal life with God.
• Heb. 115. By faith Enoch was translated that
  he should not see death and was not found,
  because God had translated him for before his
  translation he had this testimony, that he
  pleased God.

47
Seth the new Faith Seed

• The promise of God is not thwarted by Cains
  murder of the faith man Abel. God will simply
  use the next faith man Seth to fulfill His
  promise to mankind to send a Savior into the
  world.
