[1] {Eve}
Eve, type of the Church as bride of Christ
# Joh 3:28,29 2Co 11:2 Eph 5:25-32 Re 19:7,8

[2] {The serpent}
The serpent, in his Edenic form, is not to be thought of as a writhing
reptile. That is the effect of the curse
# Ge 3:14
The creature which lent itself to Satan may well have been the most
beautiful as was the most "subtle" of creatures less than man. Traces
of that beauty remain despite the curse. Every movement of a serpent
is graceful, and many species are beautifully coloured. In the serpent,
Satan first appeared as "an angel of light"
# 2Co 11:14

[1] {And the Lord God said}
The Adamic Covenant conditions the life of fallen man--conditions which
must remain till, in the kingdom age, "the creation also shall be
delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the
sons of God"
# Ro 8:21
The elements of the Adamic Covenant are:
(1) The serpent, Satan's tool, is cursed (v. 14), and becomes God's
illustration in nature of the effects of sin--from the most beautiful
and subtle of creatures to a loathsome reptile! The deepest mystery of
the atonement is intimated here. Christ, "made sin for us," in bearing
our judgment, is typified by the brazen serpent
# Nu 21:5-9 Joh 3:14 2Co 5:21
Brass speaks of judgment--in the brazen altar, of God's judgment,
and in the laver, of self-judgment. (2) The first promise of a
Redeemer (v. 15). Here begins the "Highway of the Seed," Abel, Seth,
Noah

# Isa 7:9-14 Mt 1:1,20-23 1Jo 3:8 Joh 12:31
(3) The changed state of the woman (v.16). In three particulars: (a)
Multiplied conception; (b) motherhood linked with sorrow; (c) the
headship of the man (cf)
# Ge 1:26,27
The entrance of sin, which is disorder, makes necessary a headship,
and it is vested in man
# 1Ti 2:11-14 Eph 5:22-25 1Co 11:7-9
(4) The earth cursed (v. 17) for man's sake. It is better for fallen
man to battle with a reluctant earth than to live without toil.
(5) The inevitable sorrow of life (v. 17)
(6) The light occupation of Eden
# Ge 2:15
changed to burdensome labour
# Ge 3:18,19
(7) Physical death
# Ge 3:19 Ro 5:12-21
See "Death (spiritual)"

[1] {coats of skins}
Coats of skins: Type of "Christ, made unto us righteousness"-- a divinely
provided garment that the first sinners might be made fit for God's
presence. See Righteousness, garment
# Ge 3:21 Re 19:8
08036
[1] {Therefore the Lord God}
The Second Dispensation: Conscience. By disobedience man came to
a personal and experimental knowledge of good and evil--of good as
obedience, of evil as disobedience to \\the known will of God.\\ Through
that knowledge conscience awoke. Expelled from Eden and placed under the
second, or ADAMIC COVENANT, man was responsible to do all known good, to
abstain from all known evil, and to approach God through sacrifice. The
result of this second testing of man is stated in
# Ge 6:5
and the dispensation ended in the judgment of the Flood. Apparently
"the east of the garden"
# Ge 3:24
where were the cherubims and the flame, remained the
place of worship through this second dispensation. See for the other six
dispensations:

[3] {Cain}
Cain ("acquisition") is a type of the mere man of the earth. His
religion was destitute of any adequate sense of sin, or need of
atonement. This religious type is described in 2Pe 2. Seven things
are said of him:
(1) he worships in self-will
(2) is angry with God
(3) refuses to bring a sin offering
(4) murders his brother
(5) lies to God
(6) becomes a vagabond
(7) is, nevertheless, the object of the divine solicitude.
08039
[4] {Abel}
Abel ("exhalation," or, "that which ascends") is a type of the spiritual
man. His sacrifice, in which atoning blood was shed
# Heb 9:22
was therefore at once his confession of sin and the expression of his
faith in the interposition of a substitute
# Heb 11:4

Abel ("exhalation," or, "that which ascends") is a type of the spiritual

# Heb 9:22
was therefore at once his confession of sin and the expression of his

# Heb 11:4
[5] {flock}
Type of Christ, the Lamb of God, the most constant type of the
\\suffering\\ Messiah--"the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the
world"
# Joh 1:29
A lamb fitly symbolizes the unresisting innocency and harmlessness of
the Lord Jesus
# Isa 53:7 Lu 23:9 Mt 26:53,54
This type is brought into prominence by contrast with Cain's bloodless
offering of the fruit of his own works, and proclaims, in the very
infancy of the race, the primal truth that "without shedding of blood
is no remission"
# Heb 9:22 11:4
08044
[1] {sin}
Or, sin-offering. In Hebrew the same word is used for "sin," and
"sin- offering," thus emphasizing in a remarkable way the complete
identification of the believer's sin with his sin offering (cf)
# Joh 3:14 2Co 5:21
Here both meanings are brought together. "Sin lieth at the door,"
but so also "a sin-offering croucheth at the [tent] door." It is
"\\where\\ sin abounded" that "grace did much more abound"
# Ro 5:20
Abel's offering implies a previous instruction (cf)
# Ge 3:21
for it was "by faith"
# Heb 11:4
and faith is taking God at His word; so that Cain's unbloody offering
was a refusal of the divine way. But Jehovah made a last appeal to
Cain
# Ge 4:7
even yet to bring the required offering.
