I have a different thought on the ages. When God gave Adam the garden, he was to eat of the fruit of the trees, except one, and live forever. Because of his sin: the earth was cursed and his diet was changed as a consequence. He now had to eat the food of the beasts and till the ground to produce its yield. He, and all generations, would now die within a day (1000 years.)
Man continued to live in sin to the point that all became corrupt over the 10 generations from Adam to Noah. God flooded the earth and killed all but Noah, his sons, and their wives. He made another dietary change, and allowed Noah and his sons to eat animals. This was yet another curse on the land, and was done to shorten the lives of men to 120 years. Without the shortening of days, no man would be saved, as all had proven to fall corrupt, save Noah and his family.
Right after the flood: Noah’s son Ham (means burnt or black) decided to go worship strange gods and moved east and fathered Cush (Ethiopia), Mizraim (Egypt), Canaan, and Phut (Somalia) and grandfather of Nimord (Babylon). Clearly sin has continued in the world from this corrupt lineage and its ungodly roots have permeated the earth again.
God told Adam not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, becuse if he did so he would surely die. The wise serpent descended and told Adam that he would not die, but would would become like God, in that he would come to know the distinction between good and evil. So who lied? And who told the truth? It seems to me that god lied and the serpent told the truth. This seems significant to me. God is lying to Adam as a way of manipulating him (since he can't stop Adam from eating the fruit of the tree, because Adam has free will). The serpent, who is usually said to be evil, actually tells Adam the truth. Eve figures it's a good thing to become like gods. Adam goes along with her. And now we have rockets to the moon and computers. Which, if they come from the serpent, and if the serpent is considered to be the Devil, we would logically be forced to conclude are Satanic, and stop using them. That's pretty much the reasoning of the Amish, and it's hard to fault them on it. Modern science is Luciferian. All of us who use it are children of Satan. Or, if you look at the serpent in a different manner, as the liberator of humanity from the prison of the Garden, we are children of knowledge (gnosis).
That’s the Blavatsky/free masonry/Luciferian doctrine which to me is pretty blatantly false. Adam did die, and the serpent himself taught them nothing. He was jealous of their position and deceived them to fall like he fell. It’s the same lies being promulgated by Rome and her apostate daughter churches.
Man made laws deciding good and evil instead of learning from the word of God; saying we need unity and equality for the common good of all mankind and “Mother Earth” is creation worship, and exalting oneself above the throne of God; and lastly, promising all who accept these principles will still make their way into Heaven (eternal life) by the grace of God.
Anyone that’s believed any of that will fail the same test that Adam failed. Jesus comes not to bring peace, but a sword. The division will be those that understand these distinctions and serve God; and everyone else that doesn’t.
