God had declared they shall surely die if they ate of the tree ([Gen 2:17](Genesis%202.md#^17)). This was to deceive Eve (and Adam) into eating the forbidden fruit in rebellion against God. This is parallel to [Proverbs 21:6](Proverbs%2021.md#^6). The treasures gained by a lying tongue here in Genesis 3 is the forbidden fruit, and the result of it is death. ^gen3-4 > Genesis 4: Abel (meaning *breath*) typifies Christ, and Cain the sinful human race. Seth (meaning *substituted*) is a picture of the believer who has become saved through the substitutionary atonement of Christ. > [Genesis 5:29](Genesis%205.md#^29) > > Noah (meaning *rest*) typifies Christ the Comforter who gives us rest in salvation ([2 Thes 2:16](2%20Thessalonians%202.md#^16); [Hebrews 4:1-11](Hebrews%204.md)). ^gen5-29 > [Genesis 7:4](Genesis%207.md#^4) > > This was actually on the 2nd month, 10th day (the flood itself was 7 days later, on the 17th day of the month - [Gen 7:11](Genesis%207.md#^11)). ^gen7-4 > [Genesis 13:10](Genesis%2013.md#^10) > > The Plain of Jordan appeared to be where the Gospel was. It was well-watered like the garden of the Lord (a reference to Eden). ^gen13-10 > [Genesis 13:16](Genesis%2013.md#^16) > > Dust points to the peoples of the world, particularly in this present world ([Gen 3:19](Genesis%203.md#^19), [18:27](Genesis%2018.md#^27)). And, of course, a great, great number beyond what we could count. ^gen13-16 > [Genesis 15:14](Genesis%2015.md#^14) > > The judgment upon Egypt portrayed judgment on the visible churches and the world before the final resurrection, when the believers come out from among them. ^gen15-14 > [Genesis 22:12](Genesis%2022.md#^12) > > Abraham typifies God Himself Who did not withhold His only Son from Himself. ^gen22-12 > Genesis 24: The oath and obtaining a bride from his kindred and land portray Christ. God swore an oath to Himself that He would save His people, a bride for Christ. ^gen24-chapter > [Genesis 29:3](Genesis%2029.md#^3) > > This typifies how the believers (the sheep) are watered by the Gospel, the wells of salvation ([Is 12:3](Isaiah%2012.md#^3); [Jn 4:14](John%204.md#^14)), where Christ is the Stone or Rock ([1 Co 10:4](1%20Corinthians%2010.md#^4)). ^gen29-3 > [Genesis 29:8](Genesis%2029.md#^8) > > This typifies how the believers (the sheep) are gathered together to drink the Gospel. ^gen29-8 > [Genesis 35:1](Genesis%2035.md#^1), [2](Genesis%2035.md#^2), [3](Genesis%2035.md#^3) > > This speaks of Jacob's trouble (translated *distress* here in verse 3) when Jacob fled from Esau. See [Jeremiah 30:7](Jeremiah%2030.md#^7) -- Spiritually, near the end of time (which is our day), the believers (typified by Jacob) will be made to flee from the churches as the enemy (the unsaved human race as typified by Esau) come against them and overrun them. (See also [Ro 9:13](Romans%209.md#^13), [14](Romans%209.md#^14), [15](Romans%209.md#^15), [16](Romans%209.md#^16), [17](Romans%209.md#^17), [18](Romans%209.md#^18), where Jacob and Esau point to those whom God elects vs those who are non-elect). ^gen35-1-3 > [Genesis 35:11](Genesis%2035.md#^11) > > This points to the salvation of the elect from all nations, with Jacob as a type of Christ. ^gen35-11 > [Genesis 49:6](Genesis%2049.md#^6) > > Points to the unsaved who were involved in the slaying of Christ, and in principle want God to be dead to them. ^gen49-6 > [Genesis 49:8](Genesis%2049.md#^8), [9](Genesis%2049.md#^9), [10](Genesis%2049.md#^10), [11](Genesis%2049.md#^11), [12](Genesis%2049.md#^12) > > This passage points to the victory of Christ vanquishing His enemies (the kingdom of Satan), as the Lion of the tribe of Judah ([Rev 5:5](Revelation%205.md#^5)), as the eternal King, as He suffered the wrath of God in providing us salvation (cp [v11](Genesis%2049.md#^11) with [Zech 9:9](Zechariah%209.md#^9); [Mt 21:5](Matthew%2021.md#^5)). ^gen49-8-12 <br><br> Tags: #Old_Testament #Genesis
