It was hard to conceive
But she did believe
And would not be deceived
The second Adam was Eve
I Corinth 15:45
“The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.”

In the beginning
There was God
And the spirit of God
There was heaven
And earth
There was Adam
And Eve
Each is a witness
Of the other
St. John 8:18
“I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.”
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Word
The Bible is like a woman
Who carries within her
The Word of God
And she brings it to fruition
In due time
Christ will come to us
Through her
She is our salvation
The mother of all living
The living Word of God
Genesis 3:20
“And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.”
How much time had passed
From God telling Adam
Not to eat from the tree of knowledge
To the moment when Eve did
Was it a day, a month, a year?
How do we measure time
When no time has passed
Time cannot stand between
Me and my savior
No sin, no salvation
No time in between
The sinner and the savior
Rev 10:6-7
“And swear by him that lives for ever and ever…that there should be time no longer…the mystery of God should be finished…”
On reflection of my life
I start here
Where I am now
According to the Bible,
If the creation story holds true
Which it will,
We can all trace our line
Back to the garden
To Adam and Eve
The first man and first woman
The only two never born
And these two are one
But further back
Before Eve
There was only Adam
Yet she was with him
A part of him
A rib, some say
So she was present
With him
Before she was taken
From him
And made to appear
Separate from him
Before that
There was no Adam
Only the dust of the ground
Out of which the man was formed
And became a living soul
After receiving the breath of life
Before that there was light
Before that there was
Heaven and earth
And God who created them
What is seen and what is not
The form and the formless
The particle and the wave
And these two are one
And between the creation
Of heaven and earth
And the light
Was the spirit of God
She who was with him
In the beginning
Before the dividing time
And that is where we are now
Genesis 1:2
“The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
The fall of Adam and Eve
Gave rise to a savior
Jesus Christ
The fall of a savior
Gave rise to the Spirit
Adam and Eve
Are within Christ
And Christ
Within the Spirit
And the Spirit
Within us
The rise of the Spirit
Gives rise to consciousness
St. John 6:39
“And this is the Father’s will which has sent me, that of all which he has given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.”
When Adam and Eve
Left the garden
God went with them
And we can see
In the Bible stories
His continuous presence
Throughout
God leads us
Through sin
To Christ
And Christ takes us
Back to the garden
St. Luke 23:43
“Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.”
Were Adam and Eve
Transformed into
Something different
When they ate
From that tree
Or did they become
Aware of everything
That was already there
Genesis 3:7
“And the eyes of them both were opened…”
The tiniest particles
Are the building blocks
Of everything that we see
From a wave and a particle
Came everything we see
These two are like Adam and Eve
Who were hiding from God
And now they have been seen
These two are one
From which all came
And cannot be separated
In the beginning
There was nothing man made
Nothing but God and his creation
No sin
One thing though—
If you eat from the tree of knowledge
You will die
And just what was death to them
They were never born
And just how old were Adam and Eve
They were never children, infants
Just created by God in his image
So he must have given them his mind too
Or somehow taught them
Everything there is to know
And exactly what language
Did they speak back then
That even serpents
Could communicate
With God’s creation
