Genesis 3 The Seduction of Eve Part 1

In Genesis chapter 3 we read the story of Eve. The traditional story that you will hear the most these days is a story of when a snake comes up to Eve with an apple and says "here eat this." Then she takes and eats the apple and as a result of her actions both her and all of humanity is doomed forever. Today I am trying to look at it in a different light. This topic is kind of lengthy, and I plan to separate it into different parts, and try to explain a few words before I tackle it as a whole. This first part I am going to talk about is the word trees. The word tree is an important word to understand to be able to properly understand this event.

In Genesis 3:3 we are told that there was a tree in the garden that Adam and Eve lived in and were told  not to touch nor have any dealings with it. In fact the word "touch" means to lay hands on or to lie with in a sexual way Strongs #5060. In Genesis 2:17 we are told that the tree had knowledge of good and evil. Most people when they read these verses think of an actual tree that has roots and leaves. This is far from the truth, as plants and trees do not have the ability to tell good from evil. One may ask what is meant by a tree then? The best place to find information about the bible is the bible itself when it talks about trees or any subject for that matter.

Psalms 1:3 and in Jeremiah 17:7-8 talks about the blessed man planted by a river of waters, of course we also know that water in the bible represents Father Yahweh's holy word that gives us spiritual life.

In Psalms 92:12  and Ezekiel 31:3once again people are compared to trees. Of course I have to add in the riddle of Ezekiel 17:22 when Ezekiel sent the message to Israel when Zedekiah's daughters were moved to Ireland and so was the throne of David. Teia Tephi and Scota, the only living heirs to David's throne were transported to Ireland by the Prophet Jeremiah. The kings daughters were represented as branches.

Anyone that does not  know about this historical event can read about it here for more information. Anyway there are many examples where people are represented by trees and is my belief that the tree that is talked about in Genesis 3 is actually a family tree. We are also told in Genesis 3:6 that it was pleasant to the eyes or handsome. Common sense will tell you that a tree cannot know the difference between good and evil, and eve could not lay in a sexual way with a tree. When you realize that there were others on the earth before Adam and Eve it becomes clear that the only meaning of the word tree can mean is a family tree not an actual tree.
Praise the Lord!
