We continue to explore the dialogue between God and Adam and Eve, who are now sinners, as written in Chapter 3 of the Book of Revelation. Irish Scripture Scholar Frances Hogan explains the judgment of God given to Adam and Eve. Neither Adam nor Eve said sorry to God; neither confessed the fact that they had disobeyed His will, therefore, neither of them repent. As a result of the fall, God has to pronounce judgment; He pronounces it based on the measure of their role and task.

There are 3 great women who had to fight the evil one in the Scriptures:

Israel - Wife of YahwehMary - Mother of Jesus, spouse of the Holy SpiritThe Church - Bride of the Lamb

History revolves around the decision of the woman. With Adam, we see a dereliction of duty and refusal to take responsibility. All of creation does what God wants except the man; so, the man can’t rule it. When the human race rebels against God, the earth rebels against us. The remainder of Chapter 3 tells us that God has to remove them from paradise because they are no longer in union with God. God protects the tree of life so that man and woman who are not in union with God can no longer eat from it. This tree of life is restored by Jesus on the Calvary.

In Chapter 4 we take a look at the story of Cain and Abel - the children of a fallen race.
