Adam Was Not Deceived



Adam Was Not Deceived
Author: Mark V. Markov

Adam was not deceived
Yet the woman was
Man was placed in charge
Over everything
Woman was created as a helper
To the man

The true reason
Why mankind is suffering
The true reason
Why evil nature
And death
Had entered the life of mankind

This tragedy had become
When the first man Adam
Ate the fruit
Of the knowledge of good and evil

Since he had the human seed
If he would've trusted God
And said no
To the first woman Eve

She would've lived
Nine hundred years or so
Slighthly more or less
Under the thousand years
Since a thousand years of our time
Is one day to God

As God would've sent the cherubim
With a flaming sword
To keep the first woman
Away from the tree of life

And when she died
Her body would've went
Into the ground
Yet God would've
Created right away

Even right away after her fall
A second suitable helper
The second woman
For Adam the first man

If the first man Adam was obedient
To God's instruction
Since God created the first man and the first woman
He blessed them
And said to them
Be fruitful
Multiply
And fill the earth

God would've kept Adam with the second woman
By the tree of life
They would've lived together forever
They would've had children
With a pure nature
And filled the earth

Their nature
Would've never been contaminated
With evil nature
And death would've never entered
Into the life of mankind
But only into the first woman.

So when she was gone
As long as no one else ate
From the tree of knowledge of good and evil
Mankind would've never had fallen.

So truly,
The last chance mankind had
Was with Adam the first man
Since he was created first
Being placed in charge of everything
Since he had the human seed

Adam was not deceived
Yet the woman was
Man was placed in charge
Over everything
woman was created as a helper
To the man,
woman was created as a helper
To the man.

Yet now,
We have the second Adam
Jesus Christ
Our Redeemer

As we believe on Him
With a living faith
That is pleasing to God the Father
We become reconciled to Elohim
And as we remain faithful to Jesus Christ
All our earthly life
We become saved,
Through Him...


1 Timothy 2:13-15 (ESV)

13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve;
14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith
and love and holiness, with self-control.


Genesis 1:26-28 (ESV)

26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.
And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens
and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing
that creeps on the earth.”


27 So God created man in his own image,
    in the image of God he created him;
    male and female he created them.

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them,
“Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it,
and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens
and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”



Genesis 2:15-25 (ESV)

15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying,
“You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,

17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat,
for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone;
I will make him a helper fit for him.”

19 Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field
and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see
what he would call them.
And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens
and to every beast of the field.
But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him.

21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man,
and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.

22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman
and brought her to the man.

23 Then the man said,

“This at last is bone of my bones
    and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
    because she was taken out of Man.”

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife,
and they shall become one flesh.

25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.



Genesis 3 (ESV)

1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field
that the Lord God had made.

He said to the woman, “Did God actually say,
‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”

2 And the woman said to the serpent,
“We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden,

3 but God said,
‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden,
neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’”

4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.

5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened,
and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
and that it was a delight to the eyes,
and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise,
she took of its fruit and ate,
and she also gave some to her husband who was with her,
and he ate.

7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked.
And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.

8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden
in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves
from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.

9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”

10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden,
and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”

11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked?
Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me,
she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.”

13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14 The Lord God said to the serpent,


“Because you have done this,
    cursed are you above all livestock
    and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
    and dust you shall eat
    all the days of your life.

15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
    and you shall bruise his heel.”

16 To the woman he said,


“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
    in pain you shall bring forth children.
Your desire shall be contrary to your husband,
    but he shall rule over you.”

17 And to Adam he said,


“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
    and have eaten of the tree
of which I commanded you,
    ‘You shall not eat of it,’
cursed is the ground because of you;
    in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;

18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
    and you shall eat the plants of the field.

19 By the sweat of your face
    you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
    for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust,
    and to dust you shall return.”

20 The man called his wife's name Eve,
because she was the mother of all living.

21 And the Lord God made for Adam
and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.

22 Then the Lord God said,
“Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil.
Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat,
and live forever—”

23 therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden
to work the ground from which he was taken.

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.



Psalm 90:4 (ESV)

For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past,
or as a watch in the night.


2 Peter 3:8 (ESV)

But do not overlook this one fact, beloved,
that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.



Genesis 5 (ESV)

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man,
he made him in the likeness of God.

2 Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man
when they were created.

3 When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness,
after his image, and named him Seth.

4 The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years;
and he had other sons and daughters.

5 Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.

6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh.

7 Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years and had other sons and daughters.

8 Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.

9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan.

10 Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan 815 years and had other sons and daughters.

11 Thus all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.

12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel.

13 Kenan lived after he fathered Mahalalel 840 years and had other sons and daughters.

14 Thus all the days of Kenan were 910 years, and he died.

15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he fathered Jared.

16 Mahalalel lived after he fathered Jared 830 years and had other sons and daughters.

17 Thus all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.

18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he fathered Enoch.

19 Jared lived after he fathered Enoch 800 years and had other sons and daughters.

20 Thus all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.

21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah.

22 Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years
and had other sons and daughters.

23 Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years.

24 Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.

25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he fathered Lamech.

26 Methuselah lived after he fathered Lamech 782 years and had other sons
and daughters.

27 Thus all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died.

28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son

29 and called his name Noah, saying, “Out of the ground that the Lord has cursed,
this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the painful toil of our hands.”

30 Lamech lived after he fathered Noah 595 years and had other sons and daughters.

31 Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died.

32 After Noah was 500 years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
