Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
God told Moses what to write with purpose. This is called messaging. If God had not told Moses to write the first five books of the bible we would not have them. They would have been lost to posterity but for the meticulous work of scribes who made parchments that tell us exactly what message God sent to use about a time before written history.
God spoke to us through the prophets and Moses was just the first and most important because no one was alive at the time of Moses that had a remembrance of all that happened. There were no witnesses.
I left off yesterday with a question. This is what happens when messages don’t answer all the answers we have. Why didn’t God name Eve’s sin?
We might begin by asking who she was at that time. She was the first wife, a wife to Adam.
Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
Man became spiritually dead because of the first Adam and the last Adam restores us to new life. Jesus Christ is the last Adam. Since Eve’s identity was the wife of the first Adam, is it possible that the message sent to us about Eve’s participation in the fall is a reflection of the bride of Jesus Christ in participation in this restoration?
Why wasn’t Eve’s sin called out by God as it was for Adam?
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,
he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,
But Eve suffered the consequences for her participation. What does that say about us?
