The creation of man. Adam and Eve. Historical truth that is silent about. World History - Adam and Eve The story of Adam and Eve summary

Fifth civilization of people ( our) appeared relatively recently.

The first representatives of human civilization were about four meters tall.

Only two names have survived to this day, which is why the history of the creation of man raised so many questions.

When reading the Bible, one absurdity immediately catches your eye - in the book of Genesis it is written: “God created Adam and Eve... Eve gave birth to Adam two sons - Cain and Abel... Cain killed Abel and was expelled by God... Cain knew his wife, and she gave birth his son Enoch..."

Question: Where did Cain's wife come from?

Who gave birth to all these sons, where did all these women come from?

As the Guardian Angels explain, the story of the creation of man, set out in the Bible, has survived to this day in a greatly altered form. That's why all these inconsistencies arose. The real history of mankind is as follows.

Modern humans appeared on Earth 27,000 BC in Mesopotamia - the area between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in modern Iraq. (Now these places are semi-desert, but in those days it was the most beautiful and fertile place on Earth. It was called Eden, the Garden of Eden.)

The first modern people were short (up to 4 meters) Atlanteans who moved here from Atlantis. This group of people was united by the desire to create another civilization in a new paradise, more humane and more spiritually developed than the existing ones.

In particular, these people had a complete ban on killing and violence towards each other. Eden was considered a paradise not only because of its climate and nature. Human relations between the people living there were simply ideal, the very atmosphere in this region was imbued with kindness, love and benevolence.

The first sin on Earth is murder

Adam and Eve were not the first people on Earth. They appeared only 13,000 BC. The most ordinary people, who do not stand out among thousands of others.

Their names have been preserved in history for only one reason - they were responsible for the destruction of Eden. It was because of them that Heavenly punishment fell on the heads of people.

According to the Bible, the events happened as follows: Adam and Eve committed their first sin - they ate an apple from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil, God became angry and kicked them both out of Paradise.

In fact, the first human sin was not eating an apple at all, but murder. The son of Adam and Eve - Cain - killed his brother Abel.

People lived in heavenly conditions, did not need anything, and yet brother killed brother.

God became angry and destroyed Paradise. There was unbearable heat for forty days, all the plants in Eden burned, and the once flourishing region turned into a lifeless desert. God wanted to show people that no crime goes unpunished.

People were forced to leave the Mesopotamia region and go in search of new places.

Where did the legend of the apple come from?

The fact is that the original, the original Bible, has not survived to this day. More precisely, it exists, but is not yet available to people. The real Bible will be found in a few years.

The Bible that we use today was repeatedly rewritten and corrected to please the ruling kings and sovereigns.

We Russians understand how this is done. We have already encountered this in our own history. If necessary, historians can easily repaint white into black, and vice versa.

The Bible was edited very skillfully, with masterly touches. For example, the very first and main sin on Earth - murder - was replaced by eating an apple from the tree of Knowledge. It turned out that knowledge is a more serious crime than murder!

After this replacement, it became possible to commit murders with a Bible in hand. Remember history - numerous bloody wars in the name of God, the Inquisition, executions with the blessing of the Church...

Nobody, naturally, remembered that God punished all of humanity for one single death, depriving them of Paradise on Earth.

* * *

Life expectancy on Earth at that time was about 900 years. Eve died at the age of 847 years, Adam lived 952 years (according to the Bible - 930 years).

The murder of Abel and the destruction of Eden occurred 12,000 BC. Adam and Eve were no longer alive by that time.

The story of Adam and Eve- The first people on Earth begins in the Garden of Eden. When the creation of the world was completed , The Lord settled them in a country called Eden. Here the Lord planted a garden of unprecedented beauty, called Paradise. The Bible says that the Garden of Eden is "in the east" and that a river flows through it, dividing into four rivers: Pishon, Tikhon, Tigris and Euphrates. The mention of the Tigris and Euphrates - real existing rivers, and two disappeared ones - contributed to the emergence of different opinions regarding the location of the Garden of Eden. It is suggested that it is located in Africa, others suggest that it is in Syria, Mesopotamia, the Caucasus or the island of Ceylon. However, these are just assumptions. Paradise, in which the first people once lived, was hidden from the gaze of man immediately after his fall, and in the Christian tradition is associated not with the real area, but with Paradise in Heaven - the abode of Almighty God.

There were a great many trees in the Garden of Eden, but two stood out: the tree of life (which gives eternal life) and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God said to Adam: “You may eat from every tree of the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” Adam and his wife lived happily and serenely in the Garden of Eden, knowing neither illness nor mental suffering. But Satan, the leader of evil spirits and the enemy of God, also hated man, and therefore decided to disrupt their blissful existence, and, ultimately, destroy all of humanity. Entering the serpent and appearing before the woman in this form, he asked: “Did God truly say: Do not eat from any tree in paradise?” Eve responded that God allowed them to eat from all the trees except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, otherwise she and Adam would die. The serpent, taking advantage of her inexperience and curiosity, assured her that the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were not at all deadly, saying: “God knows that on the day that you eat of them, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like gods who know good and evil". It was an outright lie, but the naive woman believed the evil spirit. She saw "that the tree is good for food, and that it is pleasant to the eyes and desirable because it gives knowledge, and she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave it to her husband, and he ate." The Bible does not mention what kind of fruit grew on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but according to tradition it is believed that they were apples.

Thus, “original sin” entered the lives of the first people, distorting the true, godlike nature of man. People disobeyed God, not realizing what terrible consequences this would lead to. According to Christian teaching, original sin weighs heavily on all people, and one can be freed from it only by repenting of sins and being baptized. After eating the forbidden fruit, Adam and his wife began to distinguish between good and evil. Until then, they had walked naked without thinking about whether it was good or bad, but now they realized their nakedness, and made themselves “aprons” from fig leaves. Soon God came to walk in the Garden of Eden "in the cool of the day." Adam and his wife, not wanting to be seen by him, hid among the trees. God turned to Adam: “Adam, where are you?” He answered from behind the trees: “I heard Your voice in paradise, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” Then the Lord asked: “Who told you that you were naked? Have you not eaten from the tree from which I forbade you to eat?” Adam, instead of repenting of his sin, tried to shift the blame onto his wife: “The wife whom You gave me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the woman answered: “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

God, of course, could no longer leave everything in the same state, and made a harsh, but necessary decision. The serpent (as a creature that Satan took advantage of) from now on had to crawl on his belly, the woman had to give birth to children in pain and submit to her husband, Adam had to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow. In addition, Adam and his wife could no longer remain in the Garden of Eden; they were ordered to leave it so that they would not be able to eat the fruit of the tree of life and live forever. And at the gates of the Garden of Eden, the Lord placed a cherub and a flaming revolving sword on guard.

The history of Adam and Eve, and with them all of humanity, could and should have gone in a completely different direction. If they had resisted the lies that came to them from the depths of hell, they would never have lost their bliss. It would seem that Satan (the devil) managed to carry out his insidious plan, which ended in the expulsion of the first people from Paradise. Satan hated God, and, knowing that the Lord loves people very much, he decided to take revenge on Him through them. Realizing that sin leads to eternal destruction, loss of immortality and bliss, the evil spirit managed to seduce people. However, this was a temporary apparent victory for Satan, since the Lord had already provided for the salvation of mankind. Addressing the serpent, God utters words addressed to Satan: “...and I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; it will bruise your head, and you will bruise its heel” (Gen. 3:15). It was a prophetic word that spoke of the future salvation of mankind through the Savior of the world, who, after millennia, would come into the world as a man and fight Satan on behalf of all mankind. Despite all the suffering that Satan will try to inflict on the Savior, He will destroy the works of Satan and, ultimately, Satan himself (who will be condemned forever in the lake of fire), and will give people who believe in Him salvation, resurrection from the dead and eternal life. life, opening for them Paradise in Heaven. Thus, although the first people were expelled from Paradise (out of love for them, the Lord did not allow them to become eternally living sinners, like evil spirits), they immediately received hope for salvation in the future. It was then that “Adam called the name of his wife Eve (“life”), for she became the mother of all living.” This name reflected Adam's deep faith in God and a symbol of the bright hope of the first people in their Savior Christ.

Days of creation of the world and living beings. For a very, very long time there was nothing, there was not even the Earth itself, but there was complete darkness, cold, emptiness - and only one almighty God. God began by creating the heavens and the earth. But they did not yet have a specific appearance, and, as the Bible says, only the Spirit of God hovered over the waters. Then God separated the light from the darkness and called the light day and the darkness night.

The first day of the creation of the world.
From Kedmonovskaya
manuscripts, ca. 1000 g

On the second day, God created a firmament that divided the water so that part of the water was above it, and part was below it. He called this firmament the sky [more accurate meaning of the Hebrew word translated as “firmament of the sky” is “gaseous layer”].

On the third day, God gathered the water that was under the sky into one place, and dry land appeared. He called it earth, and the waters seas. God liked what he created, and according to his desire, grass and trees grew on the earth. And God saw that it was good.

On the fourth day, God created the luminaries to give light to the earth and separate day from night. Days, months, and years could be counted by the luminaries. The big one shone during the day, the smaller one gave light at night, and the stars helped it.

On the fifth day, God took care of living beings. First, fish, aquatic animals and birds were created. God liked them all, and he wished that there would be as many of them as possible.

God creates a helper for himself. On the sixth day, God created creatures that were supposed to live on land: cattle, snakes, and wild animals. But He had many other things to do, and He created an assistant for Himself - a man. Outwardly, he had to resemble God himself. And just as God rules over the whole world, so man had to rule over the whole earth and all living creatures. God created a man from the dust of the earth and breathed life into him, and after a while he created a woman (we will find out exactly how later). And God blessed them, saying: “Fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that walks and crawls on the earth.”

God looked at the heaven and earth he created, and he liked everything created. On the seventh day God rested from his labors. And He decided that from now on every seventh day would be a holiday.


Creation of the world.
From a manuscript of the late 13th century.

Adam in heaven. Eve.

Adam had to care for and protect the Garden of Eden. He could eat fruit from all the trees except one: God forbade him to touch the “tree of the knowledge of good and evil,” saying that Adam would die as soon as he ate fruit from this tree.

Adam was bored alone, and then God ordered all living creatures to come, fly, crawl, and swim to the man, and Adam gave them all names and found himself an assistant among them. Adam called all the animals, birds, fish and reptiles by their names, but there was no one among them who could help man in everything. Adam got bored again. God took pity on him, put him to sleep, and while Adam was sleeping, he took out one of his rib and created a woman from it. Then He brought her to the man and woke him up. Adam was very happy and decided that now this woman, a part of himself, would be his wife and helper.

Adam and Eve

4 This is the story of heaven and earth, about what happened after their creation.

When the Lord God created the earth and the sky, 5 there were no wild bushes on the earth, there was nothing growing wild, because the Lord God had not yet sent rain to the earth, and there was no man to cultivate it. 6 Steam rose from the earth and watered its entire surface.

7 The Lord God created man from the dust of the ground and breathed into him the breath of life, and he became a living creature.

8 The Lord God planted a garden in the east, in Eden, and there he placed the man whom he had created. 9 On the earth, by the will of the Lord God, all kinds of trees grew, pleasing to the eye and with fruits suitable for food, and in the middle of the garden was the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 A river flowed from Eden, watering it, and then it divided into four rivers. 11 The name of the first is Pichon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, the very one where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; there is also rare incense, and precious onyx stone.) 13 The name of the second river is Gihon, it flows around the entire land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is Tigris, it flows east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 The Lord God did everything for the well-being of man in the Garden of Eden, which he had to tend and protect. 16 And then the Lord God gave the following commandment to man: “You may eat the fruit of any tree in the garden, 17 but not from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Do not eat its fruits, for the same day you eat them you will certainly die.”

18 And the Lord God said: “It is not good for man to be alone; to help him I will create someone who will be a match for him.” 19 The Lord God brought to man all kinds of animals, created by Him from the earth, that live on dry land, and birds that fly in the sky, to see what man would call them: they were to receive their names from him. 20 The man gave names to all the livestock, names to the birds under the sky, names to the wild beasts, but there was no helper found for him that was suitable for him. 21 Then the Lord God put the man to sleep, and as soon as he fell into a deep sleep, he took out his rib and covered the place where it was with flesh. 22 From that same rib the Lord God created a woman and brought her to man.

23 And the man exclaimed:

"Finally! Bone from my bone

and flesh of my flesh!

She will be called a woman,

for she was taken out of man.”

24 Therefore a man leaves father and mother when he unites with his wife, two become one flesh. 25 Both Adam and his wife were naked, but they were not ashamed.

Since Adam was not born of a woman, but was created, it is not clear whether Adam had a navel. This question has been discussed by Christian theologians for centuries, exciting artists. An 11th-century French miniature depicts God using his finger to make an indentation on the belly of a clay Adam.

The creation of Eve from Adam's rib is a dark place in the Bible. It is possible that this motif in the Bible was influenced by Sumerian mythology. According to one of the Sumerian myths, a rib healer goddess, presumably named Nin-ti, was created to heal a diseased rib (in Sumerian - “ti”) of the god Enki. But the Sumerian word "ti" meant not only "rib", but also "to give life." Thanks to this literary pun, the biblical version of Eve could have arisen not only as the “giver of life,” but also as a “woman from the rib.”

Eve's creation. Medieval German miniature

According to Jewish tradition, before Eve appeared, Adam's first wife was Lilith. God, having created Adam from clay, also made him a wife from clay and named her Lilith. Adam and Lilith immediately had an argument. Lilith claimed that they were equal since both were made of clay; unable to convince Adam, she flew away. After breaking up with Adam, Lilith became a demon who kills children.

In Paradise, God allowed Adam to eat from every tree except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, “for in the day that you eat of it you will die” (Genesis 2:17). “The serpent was more cunning than all the beasts of the field that the Lord God had created. And the serpent said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You shall not eat from any tree in the garden?’ And the woman said to the serpent, ‘We can eat fruit from the trees, only the fruit of the tree that is among Heaven, God said, do not eat them and do not touch them, lest you die. And the serpent said to the woman: No, you will not die, but God knows that on the day that you eat them, your eyes will be opened, and you will be. as gods, knowing good and evil. And the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes and desirable because it gives knowledge; and she took of its fruit and ate it and gave it to her husband, and he ate. And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed together fig leaves and made aprons for themselves" (Genesis 3:1-7).

In Judaism, the serpent is the fallen angel of death Samael, who did not want to obey man, being jealous of him. In the Christian tradition, the identification of the serpent with the devil, Satan, who took only the guise of a serpent, was firmly established. According to one legend, Satan could not name all the animals in the Garden of Eden, but Adam could. By this God proved the superiority of man over the angels. That is why Satan became the enemy of man. Judaic interpreters of the plot of the seduction of Eve by the serpent try to psychologically explain the behavior of the characters in the story: the serpent touched the forbidden tree, but remained alive, which demonstrated the groundlessness of Eve’s fears; he pushed Eve so that she touched the tree and said to herself: if I die, God will create another wife for Adam, so I will give him a taste of the fruit too - either we will die together, or we will remain alive.

God, having learned about what had happened, cursed the serpent, and said to Eve: “I will multiply your sorrow in your pregnancy; in pain you will bear children; and your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you” (Genesis 3:16). And he said to Adam: “Because you listened to the voice of your wife and ate from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying: You shall not eat from it; cursed is the ground for your sake; in sorrow you will eat from it all the days of your life; thorns.” and it will bring forth thistles for you, and you will eat the grass of the field; by the sweat of your face you will eat bread, until you return to the ground from which you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you will return" (Genesis 3:17-19). After this, Adam and Eve were expelled from Paradise.

In the apocryphal “Life of Adam and Eve,” Eve dies 6 days after Adam’s death, having bequeathed to her children to carve the lives of the first people in stone. Adam and Eve were given the assurance that the coming “son of God” (Jesus Christ) would save them.

In Christianity, it is believed that the Fall (otherwise called “original sin”), i.e. Adam and Eve's violation of the will of God led to a distortion of the original nature of man, who was first created innocent and sinless. Salvation from the consequences of the Fall is seen in the act of baptism, which establishes the participation of the baptized in Jesus Christ (the new Adam), who redeemed with his death the “original sin” of the first Adam.
