"PLAN A”

Perhaps you have seen it on T.V.

A boss and two security guards walk into an office and the boss says to the guy behind the desk, “You are fired leave the building at once and take nothing with you.” As he hesitates the two guards take him by the arms and lead him out of the building, and remove his ID Badge. Then further instructions are given to the security force, “Do not allow this man back into the building ever under any circumstances.”

Under “Plan A,” Adam and Eve had free access to everything in the garden until they sinned, and then they were escorted from the garden with nothing except some skins for clothing which GOD gave to them.

Genesis 3:21-24 And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"--

Therefore the LORD God sent him out from the Garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. So He drove the man out; and at the east of the Garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life.

We notice that the Cherubim was assigned to guard access to the tree of life.

We can only presume that if Adam and Eve had eaten of the tree of life prior to eating of the tree of good and evil, the cherubim would have been placed as a guard over the access to the tree of good and evil.

A psychiatrist would have had a field day with them trying to convince them that it wasn’t their fault and they were O.K.

If anything good came out of this devastating event it was that they gained the knowledge of both good and evil not just evil.

From then down till today we retain this knowledge and the power of choice lies within we all.
Built into plan A was a failsafe “Plan B” where man was once again given the opportunity to choose life instead of death.

While man did not take advantage of all the provisions of Plan “A” we will next look at how they are fairing under “Plan B.”
