THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- Adam And Eve Were NOT God’s First Created Humans.

A meaningful explanation of God’s Word in the Holy Scriptures excerpted from the Bible revelations of Teacher Erano M. Evangelista in the websites www.thename.ph and www.thenameonline.info

The Christian interpretation of the scriptures regarding Creation is absurd because Science had now shown us the remains of prehistoric men dated millions of years ago. If Adam and Eve were the first humans then where did those prehistoric men came from?

Though "Atheists" have a point in the said argument, it only resulted in other debates and disagreements with religious preachers. The cycle of conflict did not end, but became worse.

With the debates and conflicts that had arisen out of the Bible among its believers and non-believers, you (the reader), may think that there is no more hope for mankind to attain true oneness and solidarity. But we should not lose hope. This article will show the whole world the way to end the cycle of conflict between the followers of religions; between those who believe and those who do not believe in the Biblical God. How? By showing the truth that the real God truly exists and how the religions’ misinterpretation of the scriptures caused the conflicts and divisions that are happening today.

Please be advised that this Bible revelation is not promulgated to promote a new religion but simply to enlighten the readers. The readers must use credible thinking and common sense. Whether the reader accepts it or not is his or her own decision. What is important is we have shared with you this Bible revelation.

Let us now begin:

What the whole world does not know is that the Biblical God (whose Name was NEVER Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, Jesus or YHWH) gave a statement long before on how we can truly understand His word in the scriptures. Had people understood such reminder by God, these conflicts would never have occurred.

What did the real living God say before?

“I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account”

Deuteronomy 18:18-19 (NIV)

Page 2: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

God has said before in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 about the ONE prophet whom He will send like Moses, and in whose mouth He will place His words (meaning the chosen one will not study the Bible on his own nor will he study ancient languages as God Himself will instruct him about His words) and the prophet will speak in His Name or reveal His (God’s) Name.

This purports that when it comes to the word of God, especially His Name –we should not consult anybody about it because there is only ONE man who was given full authority by God to speak about it.

This is the ‘prophet like Moses’ whom God spoke about in Deuteronomy 18:18-19!

People were led to believe by the religions, especially Christianity, that to truly understand the scriptures, one must have an academic degree in Theology. If we open our eyes to what God said “I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.”- We can understand that in order for a person to explain the word of God in the scriptures, exactly as God meant it, that person’s explanation must come solely from God and not from his own personal opinion or academic study of the scriptures.

This is why God said: "If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account” - what the prophet speaks about God is not his own interpretation or study but was given directly by God Himself.

Had we given thought to what God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 and heeded it, we would have not allowed ourselves to be duped in joining these religions. Without their followers or members, religions would not have flourished and prosper. All of humanity would have never been divided and be in conflict with one another. From their own doctrines we can easily discern that the individuals that the religions claimed (Christians – Jesus; Islam-Muhammad) as the ‘prophet like Moses’ do not qualify to what God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19.

How do we know this? Take note of what God said in Deuteronomy 18:19:

“If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account.”

Deuteronomy 18:19 NIV

“If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in MY NAME,”- God said that He will call into account anyone who will not listen to His words that His prophet like Moses will speak in His Name.

Since the prophet will come to speak in the Name of God, it means that God had sent him to enlighten us about His true Name.

Page 3: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Once the people know the true Name of God as revealed by the prophet like Moses, what will happen?

This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God. ’”

Zechariah 13:9 (NIV)

“They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,' and they will say, ‘The Lord is our God. ’”- God did not just say that He will answer those who call on His Name. He also stated another privilege to those who will call on His real Name and that is to be one of His people or to be an Israelite.

If the real Name of God was made known by any of the monotheistic religions, they would not even identify themselves as a Christian, Muslim or Jew, but as an “Israelite”. (The word “Jew” came from the name “Judah”, one of the twelve sons of Jacob who was given by God the name Israel). We could have been ONE PEOPLE UNDER GOD with no religious division to begin with.

If God will consider those who call on His Name as His people, what will happen to the nations whose people will unite in revering the real name of God?

"Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people I will live among you and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.

Zechariah 2:11 NIV

"Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people”. – This was the God’s real intention all this time- to unite us all to be His people Israel through His Name. This great accord and unison did not happen through the fallacious teachings about God of both Jesus and Muhammad.

Instead of unity and peace, the teachings of these two individuals divided mankind against each other. It is therefore evident that none of them was the “prophet like Moses” whom God had sent to speak about His real Name.

Mankind failed to discern and perceive that neither Jesus nor Muhammad is the “real prophet like Moses”, and followed their teachings. In effect, humanity disregarded what God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 to listen only to His real prophet like Moses.

Because of such disobedience, what was the consequence?

Page 4: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse - the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28 (NIV)

“the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God” - Because we failed to obey God’s command in Deuteronomy 18:18-19, we had suffered His curse.

How do we know that we are suffering under God’s curse? What are the signs?

If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name - the LORD your God - the LORD will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. He will bring upon you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. The LORD will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed

Deuteronomy 28:58-61 (NIV)

God Himself has warned that the events, the plagues, which happened during the time of Moses in Egypt, will happen again. The spread of the virulent viruses and plagues; like, Ebola, Corona virus, Bird Flu, and destructive hurricane, earthquakes, unusual winter storms which were not experienced in the time of Moses, are signs that the world is truly cursed by God.

Why? Because we do not revere His true Name; failed to obey His commandments especially His word in Deuteronomy 18:18-19; and listened to those who falsely claimed that they are the ‘prophet like Moses’

This also answers the question of the 'freethinkers' or Atheists as to why God allows such evil and destruction to happen to the world. It is not because He is non-existent. It is because we are living under His curse as we followed the teachings of those who falsely claimed that they are the ‘prophet like Moses’ and on the false names and doctrines they made up for God.

Since Jesus or Muhammad is not the ‘prophet like Moses’, who is the prophet spoken of by God?

This prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 has now come to fruition in the person of Maestro (Teacher) Eraño Martin Evangelista of the websites: www.thename.ph and www.thenameonline.info

Page 5: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

In the above-mentioned websites, he has already revealed God's message, most especially God’s true Name and the real Jesus as written in the Bible, (not from his personal interpretation but) according to what was revealed to him by God IN the Bible.

Therefore what you will read in this article is the very message regarding the truth (especially about the Creation in the book of Genesis) that God had put into the mouth of His last prophet and thus not out of his prophet's own Bible research.

Since the word of God in Deuteronomy 18:18 regarding a ‘prophet like Moses’ was fulfilled through (Maestro) Eraño M. Evangelista, it logically follows that the Biblical God truly exists and is now making His real message known to all mankind.</strong>

The emergence of the ‘real prophet like Moses' signifies the end of ALL religious debates because God made it clear that it is He Himself who put His words in His prophet’s mouth. God puts the exact explanation of His words in the mouth of His chosen one, (which we can also read in the Bible) and therefore the one that all people should listen to concerning His words.

To listen to those theologians who studied God’s word is to listen to those who put their own meaning into what God said thus, defying God.

The truth is, had these so-called Theologians truly understood what God said to Moses in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 they should have told everyone to wait for the prophet who bears the sign even if it takes a long time for him to come. They should not have added their own interpretations and explanations to the revelations of the Biblical prophets of God written in the Holy Bible. The people would not have been divided in preaching the Holy Book.

Now that the word of God about a prophet like Moses has now been fulfilled (in our time) in the person of Teacher Eraño M. Evangelista, we may now begin to understand that the word of God in the Bible, beginning from the book of Genesis, was never in conflict with today’s reality.

People who call themselves “Atheists” claim that the Bible is a fairy tale book because it says according to them that the first created humans were Adam and Eve which does not correspond with today’s scientific findings and most of all, logic- because how can one pair of humans (Adam and Eve) able to give birth to different races?

This teaching is now very difficult to be accepted by today’s modern thinking generation and this is why they regard the Bible as a myth because how can all the different races of people of the whole earth come from a single pair of humans (Adam and Eve) as religions preach?

If we ask the prophet like Moses, Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista, he says that Adam is not God’s first creation in the Bible.

Page 6: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Maestro Evangelista explains it plainly; he tells us that God did have two creations. We will now share with you what God had revealed to him in the Bible concerning the book of Genesis:

Let us read the story of Creation:

So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:21 (NIV)

It is true that God created the animals before man.

God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth."

Genesis 1:22 (NIV)

God only told them to multiply, there was no covenant given to them.

What day was it?

And there was evening, and there was morning - the fifth day

Genesis 1:23 (NIV)

What did God do next?

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Genesis 1:26-27 (NIV)

"Let us make man in our image"- God created man, "male and female,” at the same time. In this context, the word " is to be understood as ‘man in general’ - that is why it was written "male and female he created them". How many pairs were created, it was not mentioned.

Think about it, you may notice that there are different species of marine and animal life in different parts of the world. For example, you cannot find penguins in the Philippines; such kind

Page 7: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

of bird species live in Antarctica or other cold areas. The Philippine Carabao cannot be found in Britain and other European countries. Maestro Evangelista explains that the same is also what God had done in creating man, He created not one pair but many pairs of humans in various areas of the world.

"God created man in his own image" – In what likeness are we created by God?

As for me, I will be vindicated and will see your face; when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.

Psalm 17:15 NIV

In another version:

As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.

Psalm 17:15 NKJV

As written above, in God’s likeness means to be in accord with God’s righteousness. Maestro Evangelista explains that God created man to be in His image, not in physical form (as we cannot see God (Exodus33:20) BUT to be in ACCORD with His righteousness.

God created us in His image and likeness so that we can be righteous LIKE HIM.

This also indicates that there are no other living beings in other planets, for it is man (male and female) alone and no other being, whom God (the creator of the universe - the heavens and the earth), had created in HIS image and likeness.

However, to be truly righteous or intelligent like God we must not only have wisdom:

“Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get UNDERSTANDING”

Proverbs 4:7 NIV (caps ours)

Maestro Evangelista explains: for man to be in God’s likeness (in righteousness) or to be truly intelligent like God man should worship God in WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING and not BLIND FAITH as taught by the religions.

Let us return to what God said in:

Page 8: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Genesis 1:26 NIV

"Let us make man in our image"– Who does God speak with when He was doing His creation.

Religions claim that God was talking to Jesus, who they claim as God’s so-called begotten Son. However, using wisdom and understanding, we can say that such a claim by the religions is illogical because Jesus was not yet born at this point of time.

This will no longer be debatable as God has shown Maestro Evangelista (in the scriptures), who He was with when He did His creation?

Let us read in:

"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?

Job 38:4-5 NIV

"Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand” - God speaks here to His servant Job. The same question goes to the present religious preachers and Bible “scholars” who spew out words and lectures about God especially about His creation-as if they were there when God created the heavens and the Earth.

They insisted that Adam and Eve are God’s first created humans without first giving thought if their understanding of what was written is exactly what God has in mind. They did not take caution to understand why God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 that He is the one who put His words in His chosen one’s mouth and why God gave a reminder that He will punish those who will not listen to His last prophet.

Look at what had happened when they added their explanations to what God said – the world became divided against each other and doubted God’s word in the Bible.

Who was God with when He created the world?

On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone –while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

Page 9: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Job 38:6-7 NIV

“while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy? “-God was not speaking to Jesus during His creation as absurdly as religions claim, God was referring to His angels.

Through this revelation that God commanded His prophet like Moses, Teacher Evangelista, to show us in the Bible, we can comprehend that God tells us that what the apostles had testified and written about Jesus in their “New testament” is not entirely true. We will delve into that matter in another article.

To continue:

God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Genesis 1:28 (NIV)

"God blessed them” – them, more than one. Maestro says in this event of creation, Adam was not yet created. God is referring here to His first created humans.

"Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth" - They were only told to multiply, no covenant and no promise from God, similar with the animals.

"subdue it"- they were only reminded to subdue or to control the growth of their population, so that the land or the environment can sustain them.

"Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."- When God said man’s role is to rule over the animals, does this mean to eat them too?

Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.”

Genesis 1:29 NIV

No, we are not. This means that all this time, God already gave a guideline on what we should eat. Our food is every seed-bearing plant, i.e., to eat fruit and vegetables. This means that we are to rule over the animals. God did not include that we can eat the animals.

Page 10: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Why did God create the animals?

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you.

Job 12:7-8 NIV

Did it say that we should eat their kind? No! That we should only learn from them.

The theory of flight, we got them from the birds; the design of ships and submarine, we got it from the fish, and we have developed many new and better technologies that were copied, in a way, from animals. Even vaccines, before we use them on humans, are first tested on animals.

We have made or invented many devices or systems taken from animals.

We learned from nature planting or farming the land, as well as the fish, we made boats, ships and submarines to travel above and beneath the waters.

This was what God had in mind when He said in Genesis 1:28 that we are to “rule” over the animals, fishes and birds and over every living creature.

What’s ironic here is we KILLED and ate the creatures whose purpose was to be our guide in creating technologies and understanding nature.

“Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?

In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.

Job 12:9-10 NIV

“Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?”– Because many people do not know why God created the animals, the birds, insects, and every marine creature.

“In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” - God wants us to understand that just like human life is valuable to him, so does the life of each animal. They are very important to God.

“Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food? Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding? "To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his. ‘

Page 11: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Job 12:11-13 NIV

“To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.” –True understanding about the word of God especially about His creation may only come from God. For us to know it, we should listen to the one in whose mouth God has put the explanation of His words- His last prophet sent forth like Moses.

How about the animals, did God meant them to kill each other for food?

And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground - everything that has the breath of life in it - I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

Genesis 1:30 NIV

The animals were not meant by God to eat their kind. Just like us humans, God meant them too to eat fruits and vegetables.

WE MAY NOW UNDERSTAND why God said we are to “rule over” the animals-not to eat them but rather to train them to eat fruits and vegetables.

When we are successful in doing this, what will happen to our world? It will be like Paradise on Earth!

All this time, what God wants us to do is make paradise here on this earth, not to wait for a paradise in the fictitious afterlife made up by the religions!

As for training the animals to eat plants as food - this is now possible because we may see in YouTubeTM and in Science TV channels that wild animals can be trained not to eat their kind and eat only plants. We can also see that wild animals like lions can be friendly to humans.

It is very clear that only “seed-bearing plant” and “tree that has fruit with seed in it” will be our food.

We thought that the possibility of animals and man living with each other can be attained in the “afterlife in heaven” as religions preach. In reality, as we can read, God himself told us that we should apply it HERE on this earth as our role is to rule over and learn from the animals, and train them to eat plants.

Page 12: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Now, it is well-defined and clear for us that God’s word can only be understood in our present time because only in our present era, can we grasp that God created us in His image and likeness. We can also create things through Science, just like He did.

How did God make His creation? Is it through Mystery and magic?

But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding. When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.

Jeremiah 10:12-13 NIV

“But God made the earth by his power; he founded the world by his wisdom and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.” – The power that God used in His creation was through His wisdom and understanding, through SCIENCE and not magic.

“When he thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.”- Here is an example of how God made His creation through Science.

Scientists (Meteorologists) can now explain the process of how rain occurs.

Now that we have realized (through His real prophet like Moses) that God created everything using wisdom and understanding and not through mystery as religions preach, what will we realize next?

Everyone is senseless and without knowledge; every goldsmith is shamed by his idols. His images are a fraud; they have no breath in them.

Jeremiah 10:14 NIV

It is now evident that the doctrines which the religions preach are of their own making and not from God. Even though they have academic degrees in what they pathetically call “Theology”, the more they show that they are SENSELESS because the teachings they made about God is out of their own interpretation of the scriptures. God is not the one who put His words in the mouths of these theologians.

What is more SENSELESS than to make humanity worship and revere a man who was spit upon, mocked, beaten, brutally flogged and crucified and even cried out he was forsaken by God?

Page 13: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Let us return to the book of Genesis:

God saw all that he had made and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day.

Genesis 1:31 NIV

“God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” – Why is it good? Why did God create us on this planet we call Earth? Let us read God’s word in:

For this is what the Lord says - he who created the heavens

he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth,

he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to BE INHABITED - he says: “I am the Lord, and there is no other.”

Isaiah 45:18 NIV

“he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to BE INHABITED” - God created the planet we live in to be inhabited. He created all that’s necessary for our planet Earth to sustain life and this is why He said His creation was good. Even before He created animals and us humans, He had already provided for our basic needs. God gave us air to breathe, water to drink and cleanse ourselves with, and most importantly fruits and vegetables for us to eat. Truly, God did not create the earth to be empty.

Take note however that in the creation of man in Genesis 1:27-28, Adam and Eve were not created yet. This means that there is a first generation of humans that God had created before Adam and Eve!

The humans that God created which were written about in the first chapter of Genesis are what Science calls Prehistoric humans whose skeletal remains were dated more than several million years ago. These Prehistoric humans were anatomically different than today’s thinking man (Homo Sapiens).

For a long time the religions indoctrinated humanity with the literal interpretation that Adam and Eve were God’s first created humans. This interpretation by the religions became the cause of the long time conflict between science and the word of God in the scriptures.

This does not mean that these Scientists who argued against God’s word have no fault either. Had they heed what God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 (to listen only to His prophet like

Page 14: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Moses) and not listened to the self-interpretation of religions, they would not have questioned God’s word but rather waited on the promised prophet.

Long ago, God said in Deuteronomy 18:18-19 that people should only listen to His real prophet like Moses when it comes to His words, because it is God himself who will guide the said prophet on how he will explain His word that were written before by His former prophets. The problem is that people listened to the ones who personally studied and interpreted the Bible on their own.

Let us read again the final verse in the first chapter of Genesis:

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.

And there was evening, and there was morning--the sixth day.

Genesis 1:31 NIV

This was the sixth day or sixth PHASE of His creation.

And on the seventh day, did God continue to create others things?

The religions claimed that after the “seventh day,” God did not create anymore- their claim is the proof that their way of teaching the Bible is based only on their own understanding and not from God.

Maestro Evangelista says: to be certain, let us read more. Remember Adam and Eve were not yet created.

At this time, the population of the people created during the sixth day was growing.

"Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing;

so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.

And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested

from all the work of creating that he had done.

Page 15: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created.

When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens -

Genesis 2:1 -4 (NIV)

On the seventh day or phase, God rested from the work he had done, the time of the first creation had ended.

“God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done” - He was the first to observe His own decree.

Maestro Evangelista explains- If God Himself rested after His work, how much more for man?

This is why the Sabbath or day of rest is important for all peoples to observe because only through devoting ourselves to rest a whole day, our bodies rejuvenate itself and our health will be improved.

Again, about the first creation:

Maestro Eraño M. Evangelista says that the first creation is the humans that lived in other parts of the planet.

Think about it- If we really came from one pair, Adam and Eve, why are there Blacks, Whites, Asians, and other colored people in different places of the world?

How can religions explain the findings of archaeologists of the remains of primitive people that were different in physical appearance or looks of the anatomically modern humans if God created one pair of humans called Adam and Eve?

These findings support the fact that God indeed created other people long before Adam and Eve were created.

The humans created on the sixth day or sixth phase are considered by God as his "first creation" or the ‘Gentiles’.

After the first created humans, God again made a special creation, in a different place.

Let us read:

and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no

Page 16: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not

sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground,

Genesis 2:5 (NIV)

"no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up" - the place somewhere in the Middle East, the desert. It describes the absence of trees and plants. Does this bareness pertain to the state of the whole world then?

Maestro says no, because the plants were already created during the time of Creation. Is it true?

Let us read in:

Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Genesis 1:11-12 (NIV)

God created the plants and the trees to be food for the animals. You will see God's great design, how will the animals survive if there were no plants for them to feed on?

When was that?

And there was evening, and there was morning - the third day.

Genesis 1:13 (NIV)

If God first created the animals and man, without creating plants and seed bearing fruits for food, they will not live or be able to survive.

Let us return to:

and no shrub of the field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the LORD God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground,

Genesis 2:5 (NIV)

Page 17: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

"on the earth" - the place in the Middle East, the desert. This bareness only describes the state of the land in the Middle East.

"no man to work the ground"- there is not yet an intelligent man to cultivate and plant the fields. The people of the first creation, though they are already multiplying, were primitive and still food gatherers. They just pick the food they eat from the bushes and from the ground.

“but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground”

Genesis 2:6 (NIV)

God made water flow through the land to make it sustainable – irrigation technology is being introduced and what happened next?

the LORD God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed

into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being

Genesis 2:7 (NIV)

"formed the man from the dust of the ground" - You will notice that God is creating again, the creation of a man after the Seventh day – the man was created alone, without a pair. He was a special creation of God, in the second creation.

How special was the "man?"

Now the LORD God had planted a garden in the east

in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.

Genesis 2:8 (NIV)

You may notice in this account that the man was created after He created the garden in Eden, which is different from the first creation in (Genesis Chapter 1) where God first created the plants and trees before man and animals.

This means that Adam –the second creation, was created by God outside and not inside the garden and his food was from the vegetation already created by God during the first creation.

To continue:

Page 18: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

“And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground - trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.”

Genesis 2:9 (NIV)

"the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground" - this was another of God's special creations, what kind?

"trees that were pleasing to the eye" - these are ornamental trees.

"good for food" - the fruit bearing trees. This is consistent with what God said in His first creation that man and animals should only eat fruits and vegetables.

"tree of life" and "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" - meaning when the special “man” was placed in the Garden he alone had some kind of knowledge and intelligence which sets him apart from the people of the "first creation." He can distinguish what is beneficial and what is not.

How rich was the land prepared for that man?

A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

Genesis 2:10-14 (NIV)

Meaning, the garden was bountiful and full of resources.

"A river watering the garden flowed from Eden"- the garden has a system of canals, an irrigation system of sorts.

In His creation of the Garden in Eden, He gave us a lesson here. God situated the garden where the water can flow freely from the land to the rivers. He did not create the garden in a place where it will block the flow of water from the river. Otherwise it will be flooded when the water in the river overflows once it rains.

Page 19: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Maestro Evangelista says that we should keep in mind that our planet is composed of more water than land. Therefore in the modernization of our cities, he says that let us follow God’s example to prioritize water passages to prevent flooding.

"The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there" - that the Garden was abundant with natural resources. It is only intended for the man in the Garden.

God is the one who created these metals and minerals and we in turn had utilized them using the creative intelligence He had given us to create better homes, technologies for ourselves to make life easier for us and for our fellow men.

Does this mean that we can abuse the environment in order to make such technologies?

The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

Genesis 2:15 (NIV)

“to work it and take care of it.”-The man was placed in the garden, and had been given all that he would need and to maintain it and cultivate it.

This is also the essence of man’s duty here on earth- to take care and cultivate it, not pollute and abuse its natural resources.

Is this true? Let us read in:

The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai, “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you, the land itself must observe a Sabbath to the Lord. For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of Sabbath rest, a Sabbath to the Lord. Do not sow your fields or prune your vineyards. Do not reap what grows of itself or harvest the grapes of your untended vines. The land is to have a year of rest. Whatever the land yields during the Sabbath year will be food for you—for yourself, your male and female servants, and the hired worker and temporary resident who live among you, as well as for your livestock and the wild animals in your land. Whatever the land produces may be eaten.”

Leviticus 25:1-7 NIV

“The Lord said to Moses at Mount Sinai,”- God spoke about this decree to the prophet Moses:

“For six years sow your fields, and for six years prune your vineyards and gather their crops. But in the seventh year the land is to have a year of Sabbath rest, a Sabbath to the Lord. Do not

Page 20: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

sow your fields or prune your vineyards.”- We can read that just as God commanded man not to work but only rest on the seventh day, (Deuteronomy 5:12-14). He also commanded man to not to gather crops on the seventh year so that the land can rest and replenish itself as well. Here God implies that just as man can recharge his own body by resting, so does the land in order for the soil to recharge itself. This also means that we should not abuse our environment!

We can understand that the observation of God’s Sabbath has a very great impact not only on ourselves but on the whole planet Earth. By giving a decree about a Sabbath for the land, it means that from the very beginning God had not fail to give us a reminder on how to take care of our environment and not abuse it.

This creation in Genesis, Chapter 2 is a different "creation" from the first 7 days of creation. The religions never taught or even knew about these two creations in the Holy Bible.

The people of the world are not aware of this true teaching. They believed the story of the religions – that Adam and Eve were the first to be created by God. The religions taught and propagated their Bible teachings in a fictitious and fabricated way from beginning to date.

Going back to:

“And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

Genesis 2:16-17 (NIV)

"the man"– was given a commandment. He is the only one living in the Garden; he is different from the people created on the sixth day of Creation. They are living outside of the Garden of Eden.

Is it true?

God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

Genesis 1:28(NIV)

Maestro Evangelista says: God gave a commandment in Genesis 2:16-17 for the "man" - Adam. The decree is from God to Adam only, one on one.

Page 21: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

This one on one relationship between God and Adam is what God wants us to have with Him. God wants each one of us to have an individual and DIRECT relationship with Him.

The commandment that God gave Adam is what separates him from the people of the "first creation," he has a commandment and they didn’t have any. Adam was given by God a law to follow which indicates that God gave him the ability to think for himself.

How do we know that Adam is not part of the first creation?

The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

Genesis 2:18-20 (NIV)

He started to give names, meaning his intelligence and knowledge is increasing. God saw the man was still alone...

"It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."- Here God shows us that He created the animals and birds to be our guide and helpers at the same time.

How can man plow the fields if there were no oxen to help? Can man have the idea of Chariots without horses? It is now so clear that the animals were created by God to be our helpers.

Here we can see that this story of Adam is truly about God’s second creation because in God’s first creation, the animals were created (Genesis 1:21-25) first before the first men and women. (Genesis 1:26-28) In the second creation, God first created the man who was named Adam, (Genesis 2:7) before the animals. (Genesis 2:18-20).

This purports that the animals that were created by God in the first creation were not the same animals that were created in the second creation. This corresponds with what we see in reality in nature because different kinds of animals live in different parts of the world.

Also, we can read that in the second creation, Adam was created ALONE, then the animals but no woman yet- which is different from the first creation where the animals were created by God first then the first humans, male and female at the same time.

Let us continue our reading:

Page 22: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he

was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.

Genesis 2:21 (NIV)

"a deep sleep" - this passage can only be explained and understood in our present generation. The man was sedated, as he is prepared for a procedure that is similar during surgical operations in our time!

Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

Genesis 2:22 (NIV)

The woman was created. This was another of God's special creations, unlike in the time of the 7 day Creation in Genesis Chapter 1; “male and female” were created at the same time.

Maestro Evangelista says: This is the revelation that God created the man, which we call Adam, and the woman, called Eve, to be apart from the first people of the world. We are fortunate as our present generation is the living witnesses regarding this revelation. Others who came before us never knew about it.

You may also notice that God created the woman out of Adam. This is not mystery but Science. God demonstrates to us the science of cloning.

Adam was created separately and thus special to God. He (Adam) is special to God in the sense that he was created by God for a certain purpose. That is, to be His example to the other created humans of being a righteous man.

Should Adam be able to heed faithfully what God had commanded (not to eat the forbidden fruit) , the neighboring peoples around him (the first created humans) will see that he is living a progressive and bountiful life because he is faithful to what God had commanded. They may emulate his example and will also worship the true God.Thus, through Adam’s example, mankind will truly be in God’s image of righteousness.

To differentiate the First Creation from the Second or Special Creation, let us continue our reading:

Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.

Page 23: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man." Later she

gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil

Genesis 4:1-2 (NIV)

After Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden of Eden, they settled at the place where Adam was taken from. This was a time when the number or population of the people of the First Creation has increased.

They had two sons, Cain and Abel.

Let us read here:

Now Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field." And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?"

"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's keeper?" The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.

Genesis 4:8-10 (NIV)

“Where is your brother Abel?"- God knew Cain murdered Abel. He was giving Cain a chance to speak the truth and admit to him his fault.

“The LORD said, "What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground” - It is not Abel who cries but his blood. God speaks symbolically here. This means Cain’s crime was not hidden from God.

What was Cain’s punishment?

Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."

Page 24: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is more than I can bear. Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."

Genesis 4:11-14 (NIV)

“Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground,”- Cain was under God’s curse

"whoever finds me will kill me" - if we are to follow the teachings of the religions that Adam and Eve were the first people in the world, who will kill Cain, his father and his mother?

As mentioned, "whoever" - anyone or anybody that is alive then. Cain is referring to the other people who were living during his time. He does not speak about a family relative who will kill him. This rejects the argument of some Christians that Cain married his own relative. It is now very clear that Cain did not marry his sister as the religions preach.

What did God do to him?

But the LORD said to him, "Not so; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. So Cain went out from the LORD's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden

Genesis 4:15-16 (NIV)

“if anyone kills Cain” – indeed, God Himself confirms there were other people aside from Adam’s family in their time. This pertains to the Gentiles who were created in the first phase of creation. It does not refer to Adam and Eve or their future descendants.

"the LORD put a mark on Cain" - here again the promise of God to Adam is given again to his descendant.

When Cain settled in the land of Nod, what happened?

Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. To Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methushael, and Methushael was the father of Lamech.

Genesis 4:17-18 (NIV)

Page 25: THE REAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BOOK OF GENESIS- ADAM AND EVE WERE NOT GOD’S FIRST CREATED HUMANS

Where did the wife of Cain come from? The priest, pastors and ministers gave the answer long ago: It was his sister, born from his mother Eve! They added that Adam and Eve had a daughter after Cain and Abel.

Would it mean that the religions tell us that Cain committed incest?

To prove if the religions’ teaching regarding this matter is true or not, let us read the Holy Bible regarding the third child of Adam and Eve. Who was the third child of Adam and Eve? Did they have a daughter after Cain and Abel?

“Adam lay with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth, saying, "God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him."

Genesis 4:25 (NIV)

The next child was also a son! The religions are wrong! They have again enhanced the teachings in the Holy Bible. So, it would only mean that during Adam and Eve's time, there were plenty of people living about in the world, though they are not that numerous as today.

For the first time, the teaching of the religions will be shaken and uprooted from their very foundation!

Thus, the doctrine regarding the story of Creation by the religions has been invalidated! The teachings of the religions are proven false from the beginning. How can we be certain that their teachings will be true up to the end?

This also means that what freethinkers believe they knew about the scriptures is wrong from the very start.

The truth is: had God truly sent these religious preachers to explain His word, these atheists/ freethinkers would not have made such an argument in the first place. The problem is that these religious preachers themselves were not sent by God and their explanations were from their own personal opinion and study. Such interpretations, at times, conflicting made more people become disillusioned with God’s word.
