3. The Curse upon Creation

Gen. 3:13; Ps. 90:10; 144:4; Eccl. 1:2b; 3:20; 12:7;

Rom. 8:2b, 20a, 22; Gal. 3:19b; 4:4–5; 1 John 3:8b

All have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.  We all lie or do something the bible has told us not to do.  The result is that God no longer looks at you as his but God said you must die.  Now if your looking for a nice warm hug from the Lord this day go find another place but tonight I need to make you see you need Jesus and you do not the  afterlife is not going to be nice.  But this life is not going to be fun either, 

^GEN The Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”  So the Lord God said to the serpent:

“Because you have done this,

You are cursed more than all cattle,

And more than every beast of the field;

On your belly you shall go,

And you shall eat dust

All the days of your life.

And I will put enmity

Between you and the woman,

And [1]between your seed and her Seed;

He shall bruise your head,

And you shall bruise His heel.”

First the devil has done this so God gave him his punishment.  Just a Shadman thought do not start telling to the devil and telling him stuff.  He is not going to listen to your talk cause your not a powerful thing.  Ask Jesus to deal with Devil cause Jesus is so much power in his life.  Jesus power is Jesus word.  Anyhow the first punishment is for the devil and the last 3 lines.  Jesus is going to die and be risen thus he is going to slam the devil and defeat him.  We get in when Jesus is our king and rules our life.  Devil is going to a hell to.  Yes we die but Jesus gives us the heaven and the devil is not going to win

^1JNFor this purpose the Son of God, ^GAL the Seed,  ^1JN was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil. ^GAL When the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born  of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under ^ROM the law of sin and death.

^GEN To the woman God said:

Jesus is going to make this a perfect earth and all the work of the devil is going  to be over and finished.

Here are some works of the devil

            He makes you think He is God

            He sows tares into the wheat (fakes)

            He gives and starts false teaching (its all over the church)

            He perverts the truth of the bible

            He hinders the works you do

            He hinders your prayer life

            Be takes salvation away or its seeds

            He reminds God of your sins

            He tempts you to sin

            He tricks you

            He wants you to tresgress Gods Holyness

“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;

In pain you shall bring forth children;

Your desire shall be for your husband,

And he shall rule over you.”

Eve punishment:  Child bearings going to hurt.  The man is going to rule the woman.   God made the rule.  Marrige is going to take work and getting into fights are going to happen.  It is not going to easy to marry.

Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:

“Cursed is the ground for your sake;

In toil you shall eat of it

All the days of your life.

Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,

And you shall eat the herb of the field.

In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread

Till you return to the ground,

For out of it you were taken;

For dust you are,

And to dust you shall return.”

Work is going to hard,  The earth is going to be hard to farm.  I am not farmier but I had picked rocks and made fence.  I know the soil can get hurt and weather is not always the best.  Love farmer but it is work. 

We are going to die.  Death is hard and painful for loved ones.  I lost many people and the only reason is sin. 

^ROM For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it. ^ECCL Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. ^ROM For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.

^PS Man is like a mere breath; his days are like a passing shadow. ^ECCL All are from the dust, and all return to dust. ^PS The days of our lives are seventy years; and if by reason of strength they are eighty years, yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. ^ECCL Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return to God who gave it. 

^GEN And Adam called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. Also for Adam and his wife the Lord God made [2]tunics of skin, and clothed them.

Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever”—therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.

We lost the Garden out of sin, Our life is now a shadow and short.  If you age you find life is short.  Make each day a gift to the Lord. 

It gets better in Jesus

[1] between your seed and her Seed. After cursing the physical serpent, God turned to the spiritual serpent, the lying seducer, Satan, and cursed him. This “first gospel” is prophetic of the struggle and its outcome between “your seed” (Satan and unbelievers, who are called the Devil’s children in John 8:44) and her Seed (Christ, a descendant of Eve, and those in Him), which began in the garden. In the midst of the curse passage, a message of hope shone forth—the woman’s offspring called “He” is Christ, who will one day defeat the Serpent. Satan could only “bruise” Christ’s heel (cause Him to suffer), while Christ will bruise Satan’s head (destroy him with a fatal blow).

[2] tunics of skin. The first physical deaths should have been the man and his wife, but it was an animal—a shadow of the reality that God would someday kill a substitute to redeem sinners.
