Adam and Eve in a Metaphorical Garden: Natural Beings within a Spiritual Setting

By Ted A. Roberts

There's much, much more to the story of Adam and Eve than just to say that they ate an apple and were expelled from a garden paradise. Indeed, the story takes on the aspects of a very dangerous lesson of betrayal toward God that we are to avoid - which has nothing to do with either a natural, literal apple; nor, even, of a natural, literal snake. In fact, this book doesn't even stop at the natural interpretations, but goes far beyond, on into a world of mysterious, metaphoric, deeper understandings of the Word of God; which, certainly, begins with Genesis' account (that displays both natural and spiritual interpretations), but ends up traveling the entire Bible-over, pulling up many more lessons and
meanings that add to that garden story.

Herein, you will find out whether or not Adam and Eve were the first folks on this planet; we'll view natural and spiritual interpretations throughout the Bible; a look at the Tree of Life and the Tree of the knowledge of good and evil, as well as a deeper look into the "other" trees of the garden, too; we'll explore the "fruits" hanging from the two main trees; we'll have a look at the "spiritual" Kingdom of God; we'll discover the "Garden Bride" of Jesus; we'll talk about the Inward and Outward Man - and, of which one is the true Temple of God; we'll discover how Adam and Eve wanted to be gods, and of whom they wished to rule over; we'll explore the First-Heaven Experience, as opposed to living fully in the second Heaven; and, of what the Third Heaven really is; we'll define an Old Testament stasis; talk about the Flaming Sword, as well as the Cherubim (of who or what they are) who protect the way of the Tree of Life; we'll explore whether or not Adam was the first historical king of the Earth; we'll discuss nakedness in religion as opposed to nudeness in the flesh; we'll have a discussion of how and why Seth was in Adam's likeness instead of being in God's likeness; and, finally, we'll discover who or what that serpent was in the garden . . . was it really satan? Or somebody or something else?
