Interpretation of the woman coming from the ribs.
There are 12 ribs in the side of a human body. Woman is taken from the "side" of man as "1 of the 12 ribs" (Genesis 2: 21-22).
The "woman" then betrayed "man" by eating of the "fruit" (Genesis 3:6-7).
"Fruits" quote is interpreted as "works". She ate the forbidden "fruit", aka she committed a forbidden action that made her more intelligent, becoming like God, knowing good and evil (Genesis 3:5-6)
God then put enmity between the woman and the serpent, she will crush the serpent's head as it's written.
(Genesis 3:15-16)
The "woman" betraying the man is prophecy of Jesus being betrayed by the church (the 12 apostles). Judas instigated it then all apostles betrayed him. (Mark 14:50).
The 12 apostles is the CHURCH (woman).
12 "ribs", 12 tribes of Israel, 12 apostles, 12 stones, 12 stars...
Biblical evidence:
(Revelation 12:1)
"A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun......a crown of 12 stars on her head."
(Revelation 21:14)
"The city had 12 foundation stones, and on them were the 12 apostles of the Lamb."
(Exodus 24:4)
"Moses built an altar at the foot of the mountain with 12 pillars for the 12 tribes of israel”
(Revelation 21:1-27)
“And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride ("the woman") adorned for her husband.
Garden of Eden as symbol for the human heart.....
(Genesis 2:10)
"A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into 4 headwaters"..
The heart has 4 chambers..
(Genesis 3:24)
"He drove out the man, and at the EAST of the GARDEN OF EDEN, he placed the cherubim and a flaming SWORD that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life."
The heart is placed in the east of our body.
Biblical evidence:
(Revelation 1:16)
"....coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword".
(Hebrews 4:12)
"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword (flaming sword is sharper than 2 edge sword) piercing to the division of soul and of spirit."
(Revelation 19:15)
"...Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations".
(Ephesians 6:17)
"the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God".
As over the road truck driver, living from state to state, I realize "Paradise" isn't a land but the emotions you invested in. Nothing can bring happiness to anyone outside of the human heart.
The human heart is the garden of Eden that we're forbidden to come back to, prevented by our conscience (flaming sword)...
----------------------------------
Judaism, Muslim, Christians, One God. Yahweh.
Muslims may ridicule Christians for believing the Messiah, Jesus is God. Christians in turn may ridicule Muslims for not believing Jesus is God.
Christians may also ridicule Catholics for praying to the Virgin Mary, but we all need to set our differences aside and accept we worship the same Father. A Muslim may not worship Jesus as God, but it doesn’t mean he don’t have idols. Maybe he’s crazy about Brittney Spears or Mercedes Benz.
A Christian may not pray the rosary but it doesn’t mean he only worships Jesus/Yahweh exclusively. Maybe he’s obsessed with buying a mansion house. We’re all sinners...
How do you worship God?
hungry did you feed him? naked did you clothed him? lonely did you visit him?
whatever you did to the least of your brothers you did unto Jesus.
The end....
