Subject: Is Gen 2:17 a prophecy? |
Bible Note: Dear Searcher56 Many thanks, would you please look again at 2:17.. 'for in the day that thou eatst thereof'. There is no conditionality, no 'if'. If we compare say Gen 4:7, 'If thou doest well, shall thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.' We know Jesus is 'the door'. (Jn 10:7) The other commands of God are not followed by the statement, or prophecy 'and when you do commit adultery'. Is there something deeper being expressed, maybe man's fall and redemption is part of the plan? Yours and His, in Him, Brother Paul (or should I say searcher80) |
