Gen 3:17 ASV - And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Gen 3:18 ASV - thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Gen 3:19 ASV - in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Gen 3:6 ASV - And when the woman saw that the tree was good for FOOD (John 6-27) , and that it was a DELIGHT TO THE EYES and that the tree was to be DESIRE TO MAKE ONE WISE, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat. 1Jo 2:16 ASV - For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. These three things were tempting to Eve she ate the forbidden fruit and died. Remember in revelations it speaks of the second death . Rev 20:6 ASV - Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: over these the second death hath no power; but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. And inasmuch as it is appointed unto men once to die, and after this [cometh] judgment; He gave us life everlasting through Jesus . One interesting point to make here there was only one tree that was forbidden to Adam and Eve, one tree not to eat from in the garden the tree of knowledge. But wait the tree of life was there and it was free to eat from. Only the tree of knowledge was forbidden. So it was the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh and the vain glory of a worldly life, loving the world and all it has. The temptation was to great for Eve , and she lost her life that day. For if they had chosen the tree of life they would have lived for ever. Jam 1:14 ASV - but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be:
Jam 1:15 ASV - Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.
Jam 1:16 ASV - Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
Gen 2:9 ASV - And out of the ground made Jehovah God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Both trees were in the midst of the garden. Man chooses to obey or disobey sin is sin and God made man in his own image and God did not make any mistakes he is perfect. But each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
Jam 1:12 ASV - Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which [the Lord] promised to them that love him.
Jam 1:13 ASV - Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man:
Jam 1:14 ASV - but each man is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
Jam 1:15 ASV - Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death. Gen 2:17 ASV - but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. Sin is the enemy of mans living his life with God . So what I see here is that God did not say you can not eat of the tree of LIFE , just the tree of knowledge. And I say to myself how is it Lord that the serpent is there in the garden with Adam and Eve. We have to understand why does God give commandants than. Because the flesh is subject to the material it came from the earth, dirt and dust. I have given several verses concerning temptation . Which Eve experienced quickly in the garden. Now in James it says God can tempt no man , It looks as if man is subject to tempting from a child when he understands the right and wrong of a situation. Temptation is a testing of man , God ordained it he put it into place and man must over come it . God told Cain sin is crouching at your door , if you do well you will over come it . God always gives a way of escape to every man in his trials , A proving a testing of our hearts. Mat 4:1 ASV - Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Gal 4:4 ASV - but when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law. Jesus was born of a woman he had flesh and blood just as you and I, and he just like Adam and Eve was tempted of the serpent. But where Adam failed Jesus did not fail he over came by the blood of his cross. He said he had the power to lay his life down and the power to take it up again . Hbr 5:7 ASV - Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
Hbr 5:8 ASV - though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered;
Hbr 5:9 ASV - and having been made perfect, he became unto all them that obey him the author of eternal salvation; Psa 7:5 ASV - Let the enemy pursue my soul, and overtake it; Yea, let him tread my life down to the earth, And lay my glory in the dust. Selah
Psa 7:6 ASV - Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger; Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries, And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.
Psa 7:7 ASV - And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about; And over them return thou on high.
Psa 7:8 ASV - Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples: Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.
Psa 7:9 ASV - O let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous: For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.
Psa 7:10 ASV - My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.
Hbr 10:8 ASV - Saying above, Sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein (the which are offered according to the law),
Hbr 10:9 ASV - then hath he said, Lo, I am come to do thy will. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
Hbr 10:10 ASV - By which will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Born of a woman and born under the Law. Jhn 12:47 ASV - And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Jhn 12:48 ASV - He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day. When the end has come and we all stand before Christ .
2Cr 5:10 ASV - For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things [done] in the body, according to what he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad. Very interesting to see the words judgement seat which in the greek is the bema seat or the foot print tribunal , Greek: bema
Judgment-Seat:
primarily, "a step, a pace" (akin to baino, "to go"), as in Act 7:5, translated "to set (his foot) on," lit., "foot-room," was used to denote a raised place or platform, reached by steps, originally that at Athens in the Pnyx Hill, where was the place of assembly; from the platform orations were made. The word became used for a tribune, two of which were provided in the law courts of Greece, one for the accuser and one for the defendant; it was applied to the tribunal of a Roman magistrate or ruler, Mat 27:19; Jhn 19:13; Act 12:21, translated "throne;" 18:12, 16, 17; 25:6, 10, 17.
In two passages the word is used of the Divine tribunal before which all believers are hereafter to stand. In Rom 14:10 it is called "The judgment seat of God," RV (AV, "of Christ"), according to the most authentic mss. The same tribunal is called "the judgment seat of Christ," 2Cr 5:10, to whom the Father has given all judgment, Jhn 5:22, 27. At this bema believers are to be made manifest, that each may "receive the things done in (or through) the body," according to what he has done, "whether it be good or bad." There they will receive rewards for their faithfulness to the Lord. For all that has been contrary in their lives to His will they will suffer loss, 1Cr 3:15. This judgment seat is to be distinguished from the premillennial, earthly throne of Christ, Mat 25:31, and the postmillennial "Great White Throne," Rev 20:11, at which only "the dead" will appear. The judgment-seat of Christ will be a tribunal held "in His Parousia," i.e., His presence with His saints after His return to receive them to Himself. I do not want to confuse you but the interweaving of Gods word in our lifes will make , if we obey it the garment of salvation . Isaiah 61 says he wraps us in a robe of righteousness a garment of salvation. And our perfection that comes in that day will be the very life and nature of the lamb of God tried and true. When the word says he was our example 1Pe 2:21 ASV - For hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps: Col 2:6 ASV - As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk in him,
Greek: lampros
Bright, Brightness:
"shining, brilliant, bright," is used of the clothing of an angel, Act 10:30; Rev 15:6; symbolically, of the clothing of the saints in glory, Rev 19:8, RV, in the best texts (AV, "white"); of Christ as the Morning Star, Rev 22:16; of the water of life, Rev 22:1, AV, "clear."
Rev 19:13 ASV - And he [is] arrayed in a garment sprinkled with blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Rev 19:14 ASV - And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white [and] pure.
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God; for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempteth no man . And if man was made in the image of God. Rom 1:23 ASV - and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 8:29 ASV - For whom he foreknew, he also foreordained [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren:
Greek: eikon
Image:
denotes "an image;" the word involves the two ideas of representation and manifestation. "The idea of perfection does not lie in the word itself, but must be sought from the context" (Lightfoot); the following instances clearly show any distinction between the imperfect and the perfect likeness.
The word is used
(1) of an "image" or a coin (not a mere likeness), Mat 22:20; Mar 12:16; Luk 20:24; so of a statue or similar representation (more than a resemblance), Rom 1:23; Rev 13:14, 15 (thrice); 14:9, 11; 15:2; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4; of the descendants of Adam as bearing his image, 1Cr 15:49, each a representation derived from the prototype;
(2) of subjects relative to things spiritual, Hbr 10:1, negatively of the Law as having "a shadow of the good things to come, not the very image of the things," i.e., not the essential and substantial form of them; the contrast has been likened to the difference between a statue and the shadow cast by it;
(3) of the relations between God the Father, Christ, and man,
(a) of man as he was created as being a visible representation of God, 1Cr 11:7, a being corresponding to the original; the condition of man as a fallen creature has not entirely effaced the "image;" he is still suitable to bear responsibility, he still has Godlike qualities, such as love of goodness and beauty, none of which are found in a mere animal; in the Fall man ceased to be a perfect vehicle for the representation of God; God's grace in Christ will yet accomplish more than what Adam lost;
(b) of regenerate persons, in being moral representations of what God is, Col 3:10; cp. Eph 4:24;
(c) of believers, in their glorified state, not merely as resembling Christ but representing Him, Rom 8:29; 1Cr 15:49; here the perfection is the work of Divine grace; believers are yet to represent, not something like Him, but what He is in Himself, both in His spiritual body and in His moral character;
(d) of Christ in relation to God, 2Cr 4:4, "the image of God," i.e., essentially and absolutely the perfect expression and representation of the Archetype, God the Father; in Col 1:15, "the image of the invisible God" gives the additional thought suggested by the word "invisible," that Christ is the visible representation and manifestation of God to created beings; the likeness expressed in this manifestation is involved in the essential relations in the Godhead, and is therefore unique and perfect; "he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father," Jhn 14:9. "The epithet "invisible." . . . must not be confined to the apprehension of the bodily senses, but will include the cognizance of the inward eye also" (Lightfoot).
As to synonymous words, homoioma, "likeness," stresses the resemblance to an archetype, though the resemblance may not be derived, whereas eikon is a "derived likeness" (see LIKENESS); eidos, "a shape, form," is an appearance, "not necessarily based on reality" (see FORM); skia, is "a shadowed resemblance" (see SHADOW); morphe is "the form, as indicative of the inner being" (Abbott-Smith); see FORM. For charakter, see No. 2.
Jam 1:16 ASV - Be not deceived, my beloved brethren.
Jam 1:17 ASV - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turning.
Jam 1:18 ASV - Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Gen 3:7 ASV - And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Gen 3:8 ASV - And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden.
Gen 3:9 ASV - And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Gen 3:10 ASV - And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Gen 3:11 ASV - And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Gen 3:12 ASV - And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Gen 3:13 ASV - And Jehovah God said unto the woman, What is this thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.
Gen 3:14 ASV - And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. 2 Cor 11:3
Beguiled or deceived in the Hebrew
to lend on interest or usury, be a creditor
a) (Qal) creditor (participle)
b) (Hiphil) to act as a creditor
So we must see here that through willful sin Satan owns his victims he becomes a mans creditor until Jesus pays the price of deliverence a ransom Greek: lutron
Ransom:
"a means of loosing" That Christ gave up His life in expiatory sacrifice under God's judgment upon sin and thus provided a "ransom" whereby those who receive Him on this ground obtain deliverance from the penalty due to sin, is what Scripture teaches. What the Lord states in the two passages mentioned involves this essential character of His death. In these passages the preposition is anti, which has a vicarious significance, indicating that the "ransom" holds good for those who, accepting it as such, no longer remain in death since Christ suffered death in their stead. The change of preposition in 1Ti 2:6, where the word antilutron, a substitutionary "ransom," is used, is significant. There the preposition is huper, "on behalf of," and the statement is made that He "gave Himself a ransom for all," indicating that the "ransom" was provisionally universal, while being of a vicarious character. Thus the three passages consistently show that while the provision was universal, for Christ died for all men, yet it is actual for those only who accept God's conditions, and who are described in the Gospel statements as "the many." The giving of His life was the giving of His entire person, and while His death under Divine judgment was alone expiatory, it cannot be dissociated from the character of His life which, being sinless, gave virtue to His death and was a testimony to the fact that His death must be of a vicarious nature.

Mat 4:5 ASV - Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
Mat 4:6 ASV - and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and, On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Mat 4:7 ASV - Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.
Mat 4:8 ASV - Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

Mat 4:11 ASV - Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
Greek: peirasmos
Temptation:
akin to A, above, is used of
(1) "trials" with a beneficial purpose and effect,
(a) of "trials" or "temptations," Divinely permitted or sent, Luk 22:28; Act 20:19; Jam 1:2; 1Pe 1:6; 4:12, RV, "to prove," AV, "to try;" 2Pe 2:9 (singular); Rev 3:10, RV, "trial" (AV, "temptation"); in Jam 1:12, "temptation" apparently has meanings (1) and (2) combined (see below), and is used in the widest sense;
(b) with a good or neutral significance, Gal 4:14, of Paul's physical infirmity, "a temptation" to the Galatian converts, of such a kind as to arouse feelings of natural repugnance;
(c) of "trials" of a varied character, Mat 6:13; Luk 11:4, where believers are commanded to pray not to be led into such by forces beyond their own control; Mat 26:41; Mar 14:38; Luk 22:40, 46, where they are commanded to watch and pray against entering into "temptations" by their own carelessness or disobedience; in all such cases God provides "the way of escape," 1Cr 10:13 (where peirasmos occurs twice).
(2) Of "trial" definitely designed to lead to wrong doing, "temptation," Luk 4:13; 8:13; 1Ti 6:9;
(3) of "trying" or challenging God, by men, Hbr 3:8.
Luk 12:36 ASV - and be ye yourselves like unto men looking for their lord, when he shall return from the marriage feast; that, when he cometh and knocketh, they may straightway open unto him.
Luk 12:37 ASV - Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them sit down to meat, and shall come and serve them.
Mat 6:19 ASV - Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 ASV - but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 6:21 ASV - for where thy treasure is, there will thy heart be also.
Mat 6:22 ASV - The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Mat 6:23 ASV - But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness!
Mat 6:24 ASV - No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Mat 6:25 ASV - Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?
Mat 27:28 ASV - And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
Mat 27:29 ASV - And they platted a crown of thorns and put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Mat 27:30 ASV - And they spat upon him, and took the reed and smote him on the head.
And they platted a crown of thorns / this is the curse that God put on Adam and every one born of the loins of Adam cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Col 2:14 ASV - having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us: and he hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross;
Isa 61:10 ASV - I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. The bride groom is Jesus and the garland is a crown of victory he over came hell and death and he is now wearing the crown of a Victorious Savior ! . And the bride (the church) Adorneth herself with her jewels, the jewels are the knowledge and wisdom of her righteousness in Christ Jesus
Greek: stephanos
Crown (Noun and Verb):
primarily, "that which surrounds, as a wall or crowd" (from stepho, "to encircle"), denotes
(a) "the victor's crown," the symbol of triumph in the games or some such contest; hence, by metonymy, a reward or prize;
(b) "a token of public honor" for distinguished service, military prowess, etc., or of nuptial joy, or festal gladness, especially at the parousia of kings. It was woven as a garland of oak, ivy, parsley, myrtle, or olive, or in imitation of these in gold. In some passages the reference to the games is clear, 1Cr 9:25; 2Ti 4:8 ("crown of righteousness"); it may be so in 1Pe 5:4, where the fadeless character of "the crown of glory" is set in contrast to the garlands of earth. In other passages it stands as an emblem of life, joy, reward and glory, Phl 4:1; 1Th 2:19; Jam 1:12 ("crown of life"); Rev 2:10 (ditto); 3:11; 4:4, 10: of triumph, Rev 6:2; 9:7; 12:1; 14:14.
It is used of "the crown of thorns" which the soldiers plaited and put on Christ's head, Mat 27:29; Mar 15:17; Jhn 19:2, 5. At first sight this might be taken as an alternative for diadema, "a kingly crown" (see below), but considering the blasphemous character of that masquerade, and the materials used, obviously diadema would be quite unfitting and the only alternative was stephanos
This reed is symbolic of the rod of Aaron it constituted all the power of God , and God proved it by causing the rod of Aaron to not only put forth leaves but to bloom and also produce almonds
Num 17:8 ASV - And it came to pass on the morrow, that Moses went into the tent of the testimony; and, behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi was budded, and put forth buds, and produced blossoms, and bare ripe almonds. The almond tree is used here because it is the first tree to awake out of its sleep from winter.
A reed in his right hand the word REED
Greek: kalamos
Reed:
denotes
(a) "the reed" mentioned in Mat 11:7; 12:20; Luk 7:24, the same as the Heb., qaneh (among the various reeds in the OT), e.g., Isa 42:3, from which Mat 12:20 is quoted (cp. Job 40:21; Eze 29:6, "a reed with jointed, hollow stalk");
(b) "a reed staff, staff," Mat 27:29, 30, 48; Mar 15:19, 36 (cp. rhabdos, "a rod;" in 2Ki 18:21, rhabdos kalamine);
(c) "a measuring reed or rod," Rev 11:1; 21:15, 16;
Luk 22:15 ASV - And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: Jesus was celebrating his death even before he died he was that passover . Luk 22:16 ASV - for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
Luk 22:29 ASV - and I appoint unto you a kingdom, even as my Father appointed unto me,
Luk 22:30 ASV - that ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom; and ye shall sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Jhn 12:47 ASV - And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Jhn 12:48 ASV - He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the WORD that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day. The word of God has already judged man even as I write this word will be the plumb line of life for every man. Rev 20:12 ASV - And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is [the book] of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. Does not the word say that God wrote his word on the tables of mans heart . Not on stone, the book of life here is the book we read every day the word of God and God is writing it on your heart to remember his law of life through Jesus.
1Jo 3:1 ASV - Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and [such] we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1Jo 3:2 ASV - Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.
1Jo 3:3 ASV - And every one that hath this hope [set] on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
You are the first fruits of Christ the fruit of his lips his word of life.
Hbr 13:15 ASV - Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name.
