Woman Taken Out of Adam.
The Church out of Christ.
Jeff Unsworth
God created Adam (Man). Hebrew, (Ish) One man.
One man with 46 chromosomes.
Out of one man, (human being), God made two. Male and female, from the one flesh. Hebrew, (Ish and Ishah)
Both male and female with 46 chromosomes, male with 46 chromosomes and female, also with 46 chromosomes.
The 23rd pair of chromosomes are two special chromosomes, X and Y, that determine our sex. Females have a pair of X chromosomes (XX), whereas males have one X and one Y chromosomes (XY).
Adam needed a help meet.
In Genesis 2:19-20, we are told, That there was not a helper found for Adam amongst the animals that God had made, so, "the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof. And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man" (vv. 21-23).
This one woman was Adam’s help meet and the figure of the church in Ephesians 5.
The Bible says very clearly that all of the things made of earth and not taken out of the body of Adam could not be his help meet. All the beasts of the field, the cattle, and the birds of the air were made of earth. They were not taken out of Adam; therefore, they could not be the help meet to Adam.
We must remember that Eve was formed out of a rib taken from Adam; therefore, Eve was the constituent of Adam.
The same DNA but with a different sex chromosome.
Each person normally has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. The X and Y chromosome are present in males, who have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.
Just as the woman came out of man, the church comes out of Christ.
Only that which is out of Christ can be the church. Anything that is not of Christ is not the church.
The church is the (The Body of Christ).
We need to note a few more words in Genesis 1:26 and 27. Verse 26 says, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them..."
In the Hebrew language the word "man" is singular, but immediately following, the plural pronoun, "them" is used. The same pattern is used in verse 27 which says,
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
The noun "man" is singular, but the following pronoun "them" is plural. God created one man; but we can also say that He created two! One is two, and yet the two are one because Eve was in Adam.
The church is more than one, yet is still one in Christ.
John 17 I pray for them, I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.
10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
God not only wants to have an only begotten Son, He also wants many sons. The many sons must be just like the one Son.
From these verses we see that if the church is not in a state which corresponds with Christ, God will not rest and His work will not be completed. Not only is Adam in the image of God, so also is Eve.
Not only does Christ have the life of God, the church also has God’s life.
Christ is in God, the church is in Christ.
God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself.
Christ is the image of the invisible God.
We, the church are being transformed into the image of Christ.
This is the mystery of the Gospel.
The mystery of the Trinity.
The mystery of the church.
God is a mystery, Christ is the mystery of God, and the church is the mystery of Christ; Christ and the church as one spirit are the great mystery.
Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones.
31 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh."
32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
