Truths About Adam
Here are some facts about Adam, taken from manuscripts classified as revelations transmitted to prophets.
Adam lived on earth for a long time. Due to his transgression, he died at the age of 930, and did not complete 1000 years.
The root of the name "Adam" remains uncertain.
-
It may come from the Hebrew word Ādām, which is composed with Aleph and Dam (Dalet & Mem). Aleph means superior, complete, infinite. Dam means blood.
-
It may come from the Hebrew word Adamah, meaning clay or red earth, as he originated from the surface Adim (earth).
-
It can come from the Hebrew word Adameh, which means "in my likeness", indicating one's ability to be like God.
Adam the 1st in the Thought of GOD
¶ Just as the natural child in the womb of its mother does not know the one who bears it, nor is it aware of its father, who, according to God, is the cause of its formation; likewise Adam, being in the mind of the Creator, did not know him. Therefore, when Divine Providence wanted to create the world, the formation of Adam was imagined and designed in the mind of God first, then that of other creatures. Therefore, Adam is older than the other creatures with regard to his conception, and the other creatures are older than Adam with regard to their birth and creation. And while God created all creatures in silence and by a word, he gave birth to Adam by his mind, and formed him with his holy hands, and breathed in him the breath of life of his Spirit, and Adam became a soul. alive, and God put in him the knowledge of the difference between good and evil. When he recognized his Creator, then God was formed and conceived in the mind of man; and man became a temple to God his creator, as it is written: "Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" And further, "I will dwell in them, and I will walk in them. |Cf The book of the Bee chap 1|
Conversation with the angels
According to the Ethiopian Kufale, the Angel of the Face revealed to Moses the creation of the world, and how, on the third day, God created the waters, the dry lands, the woods, the fruit trees and the garden of Eden, for the pleasure. |Kufale, p. 7; and K. Maim., SanJied. X|
¶ After creating everything, God said to the ministering angels who served before him, "Let us make man in our image and likeness. |Targ. Jonathan, Genesis 1:27|
R. Akha said: "When God prepared to create Adam, He held a council with the angels of the ministry and said to them: Let us make man! They then asked him: What will be his quality? God said: His wisdom will be greater than yours." |Bereshit c.17:4|
¶ And God formed man with His holy hands, in His image and likeness. When the angels saw his glorious appearance, they trembled at the beauty of his appearance; for they saw the form of his face blazing with glorious beauty like the sphere of the sun, and the light of his eyes was like the sun, and the form of his body like the light of crystal. And when he stretched himself, and stood in the center of the earth, he set his two feet on the spot where the cross of our Redeemer was placed: for Adam was created in Jerusalem, and there it was that he put on royal apparel, and the crown of glory was set upon his head; and there was he made king and priest and prophet, there did God set him upon the throne of His glory; and there He made him master over all creatures. |Cf S' Ephrem cl ; The Book of the Bee c.13, Solomon Machicha|
Adam is created from dust and clothed with the crown of glory
According to the Targum Jonathan and the Abulpharaj Arab, ELOHIM created Adam on the surface of the earth taking the dust of the sanctuary and the four elements and virgin red earth and a handful of soil of many different colors; and mixing it with various waters, He created the red man (black and white). |Abulpharaj. Arabe. Hist. Dyn., p5; Jonathan Gen 2|
¶ Then appeared an open right hand, having in it particles of the four elements; and into which God breathed a living soul, from which Adam came into existence. |Abulpharaj. Arab. Hist. Dyn., P. 5.|
*Note that if you mix red, black, and white, depending on the intensity of each color, you will get complexions ranging from very pale pink to very dark brown. So it is assumed that Adam the man made of dust and blood would most likely have had a mixed complexion or light brown, neither white nor very dark, but due to his composition, his descendants could come into existence with complexions ranging from: very pale pink to very dark brown. Hence men complexions range in these colors.

Acts 17:26 "From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth."

Here is the oldest depiction of Adam and Eve dating from the 2nd or 3rd century A.D. and found in the Catacombs of San Gennaro (St. Januarius) in Naples, Italy. They both appear to have brown skin, but scholars have speculated that the icons have darkened over time, due to varnishing, candle smoke, burning incense, lead staining, etc.
The creation of Adam according to The Book of the Cave of Treasures
Now the formation of Adam took place in this wise: On the Sixth Day, which is the Eve of the Sabbath, at the first hour of the day, When quietness was reigning over all the Ranks, and the hosts, God said, " Come ye, let Us make man in Our image, and according to Our likeness." Now by this word " Us" He makes known concerning the Glorious Persons. And when the angels heard this utterance, they fell into a state of fear and trembling, and they said to one another, " A mighty miracle will be made manifest to us this day that is to say, the likeness of God, our Maker." And they saw the right hand of God opened out flat, and stretched out over the whole world; and all creatures were collected in the palm of His right hand. And they saw that He took from the whole mass of the earth one grain of dust, and from the whole nature of water one drop of water, and from all the air which is above one puff of wind, and from the whole nature of fire a little of its heat and warmth. And the angels saw that when these four inert materials were placed in the palm of His right hand, that is to say, cold, and heat, and dryness, and moisture, God formed Adam. Now, for what reason did God make Adam out of these four materials unless it were to show that everything which is in the world should be in subordination to him through them? He took a grain from the earth in order that everything in nature which is formed of earth should be subject unto him; and a drop of water in order Mysteries of Heaven that everything which is in the seas and rivers should be his; and a puff of air so that all kinds which fly in the air might be given unto him; and the heat of fire so that all the beings that are fiery in nature, and the celestial hosts, might be his helpers.
God formed Adam with His holy hands, in His own Image and Likeness and when the angels saw Adam's glorious appearance they were greatly moved by the beauty thereof. For they saw the image of his face burning with glorious splendor like the orb of the sun, and the light of his eyes was like the light of the sun, and the image of his body was like unto the sparkling of crystal. And when he rose at full length and stood upright in the center of the earth, he planted his two feet on that spot whereon was set up the Cross of our Redeemer; for Adam was created in Jerusalem. There he was arrayed in the apparel of sovereignty, and there was the crown of glory set upon his head, there was he made king, and priest, and prophet, there did God make him to sit upon his honorable throne, and there did God give him dominion over all creatures and things. And all the wild beasts, and all the cattle, and the feathered fowl were gathered together, and they passed before Adam and he assigned names to them; and they bowed their heads before him; and everything in nature worshiped him, and submitted themselves unto him. And the angels and the hosts of heaven heard the Voice of God saying unto him, "Adam, behold; I have made thee king, and priest, and prophet, and lord, and head, and governor of everything which hath been made and created; and they shall be in subjection unto thee and they shall be thine, and I have given unto thee power over everything which I have created." And when the angels heard this speech they all bowed the knee and worshiped Him.
The height of adam and eve
The authentic Sunni sahih hadith reported by Abu Hurairah states that Adam was created at a height of 60 cubits (about 30 meters high) |Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 55, Hadith 543|.
According to other sources, Adam's height was reduced to about 15 meters when he was driven out of the garden and after the flood the height of humans progressively degenerated to this modern height, due to sin, estrangement from ELOHIM and poor diet.
¶ The Man was as high as a palm-tree, and the hair of his head was long and thick, etc. |Jahias, p. 270.|
In the Testament of Abraham it is clearly mentioned that Adam had a gigantic size.
¶ And I saw there a man very great in height and fearful in breadth, incomparable in aspect, embracing a woman, who likewise approximated to the aspect and shape of the man. And they were standing under a tree of (the Garden of) Eden, and the fruit of this tree was like the appearance of a bunch of grapes of the vine, and behind the tree was standing as it were a serpent in form, having hands and feet like a man’s, and wings on its shoulders, six on the right side and six on the left, and they were holding the grapes of the tree in their hands, and both were eating it whom I had seen embracing. |The Apocalypse of Abraham Chap 23:2-3 |
It is also reported that the body of Hawa or Eve was buried in the district of Ammaria, in the center of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia. The tomb is mentioned in many classic travel stories from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The cemetery where the tomb is located is accessible only to Muslims and the entrance gate is heavily guarded by security. It is said that Eve's body is very large and long: her head is at one end of the cemetery, her body under the well in the center, and her feet at the other end several meters away. According to some scholars and historians, although all historical references agree on the presence of Eve in this part of the world at some point in ancient history, they disagree on the exact location of her tomb. One would then assume that there is indeed the skeleton of a massive human being in this tomb but it is probably not the body of Eve.
It is also mentioned in the Book of the Conflict of Adam and Eve that they could easily walk from one part of the earth to another: from East to West or from North to South. This would only have been possible if they were very gigantic.
In the prophecy of the Prophet Ezra, it is written: "And she herself shall answer you, They that be born in the strength of youth are of one fashion, and they that are born in the time of age, when the womb fails, are different. Consider you therefore also, how that you and your contemporaries are smaller in stature than those that were before you. And those who come after you will be smaller than you, as the creatures which now begin to be old, and have passed over the strength of youth." |The Second Book of Ezra, Chap 5:53-55 |
If one holds to the Holy Scriptures, the evolution (or rather the degeneration) of man would look like this:
-
Deuteronomy 3:11 "For only Og king of Bashan had remained of the remnant of the Rephaim. His bed of iron, nine cubits long and four cubits wide, is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites"
-
Numbers 13:33 "We even saw the Nephilim there—the descendants of Anak that come from the Nephilim! We seemed like grasshoppers in our own sight, and we must have seemed the same to them!”"
-
1 Chronicles 11:23 "He also killed an Egyptian, a huge man five cubits tall. Although the Egyptian had a spear like a weaver’s beam in his hand, Benaiah went against him with a club, snatched the spear from his hand, and killed the Egyptian with his own spear."
-
1 Samuel 17:4 "Then a champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out from the Philistine camp. He was six cubits and a span in height,"
-
Amos 2:9 "Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them, though his height was like that of the cedars, and he was as strong as the oaks. Yet I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below. *A cedar tree can reach an average height of 10-15 meters
Although Adam's height cannot be defined, it is fair to say that he was a massive human being with a stature far beyond our imagination.
There are also biblical verses that seem to mention that there were 2 types of transformations on our predecessors who underwent biblical divine punishments:
A petrification:
Meaning they were:
-
Either stupefied or paralyzed due to a strong emotion. - Exodus 15:16 "Terror and dread fall upon them; because of the greatness of your arm, they are still as a stone"
-
Or their remains were transformed into mineral bodies, which occurs when a body has been in calcareous water for a long time. - Genesis 19:26 "But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt."
-
Or their remains were transformed into a stony substance. - Exodus 15:5 "The depths have covered them; they sank there like a stone."
2. A fusion of their corpses with mountains, valleys and ravines
-
Ezekiel 32:4-6 I will leave you on the land; I will cast you on the open field. And I will cause all the birds of the heavens to dwell on you, And I will satisfy the beasts of the whole earth with you.. I will lay your flesh on the mountains, And fill the valleys with your refuse. I will also make the land drink the discharge of your blood. As far as the mountains, And the ravines will be full of you.
Strangely enough, there are rocks, boulders, and mountains all over the world that which are very real, very mysterious, and bewildering places, that strongly resemble antediluvian or pre-historical giants. These very disturbing places seem to corroborate the writings of Ezra concerning the reduction in size of humans and of what existed.
Some call these rocks Pareidolia or Mimetoliths, in other words they are just natural rock formations and what we think we see is just a figment of our imagination. Now, according to historical accounts, the presence of giants was a common belief. In 79 AD, the Roman historian Flavius Josephus reported: "There were giants. Much bigger and different from normal people. It is horrible to watch. Who has not seen with his own eyes, he can not believe that they were so huge."
Note that these sites, which should attract flocks of tourists, are hardly advertised or talked about. It also seems that those who were building cities near these sites were very careful to preserve them in remote areas, difficult to access and out of the public eye. All these elements put together could also imply the following facts:
-
These could be the remains of the sons of fallen angels, however, due to their extraordinary size, it isn't possible to conceal them. As such, they are discreetly preserved in remote locations, either difficult or off-limits. And they are also preserved by organizations such as UNESCO.
-
ELOHIM allowed these sights to endure as a testimony to this historic event.
-
Isaiah 46:8-9 "Remember this, and be assured; Cause it to return to your heart, you transgressors. Remember the former things long past"
-
Job 8:8 "Inquire of the former generations, pay attention to the experience of their ancestors."
Here are a few images, you be the judge.
40 days for Adam, 80 days for Eve
According to the book of Jubilees, Adam was created in the land of Elda: this is the place where Adam's feet first trod the earth. It is reported this was the same place where the cross of YESHUA was set up. For 40 years or 40 days he was just a clay form no one had ever mentioned, for there was nothing remarkable or special about him, until God breathed in him the breath of life. Then he was brought into the Garden of Eden.
¶ And He brought before Him the beasts and the birds and asked them what they were. The angels did not know it. God then asked Adam who answered: This is an ox, a donkey, a horse and a camel. God said: And what is your name? It suits me to be called Adam because I was made of earth. And what is my name? God said to Adam. It is fitting for You to be called Lord of all. God said: This is my name given to me by Adam first. |Cf Bereshit c.17: 4|
¶ When Adam had passed forty days in the land in which he was created, we, the Angel of the Face, brought him into the Garden of Eden; and Eve his wife, after eighty days. Wherefore it is written in the tables of heaven, that a woman continues forty days until cleansed, for the birth of a man-child, and eighty days for that of a female. |Kufale chap. III, p12|
¶ And after Adam had completed forty days in the land where he had been created, we brought him into the garden of Eden to till and keep it, but his wife they brought in on the eightieth day, and after this she entered into the garden of Eden. And for this reason the commandment is written on the heavenly tables in regard to her that gives birth: "if she bears a male, she shall remain in her uncleanness seven days according to the first week of days, and thirty and three days shall she remain in the blood of her purifying, and she shall not touch any hallowed thing, nor enter into the sanctuary, until she accomplishes these days which (are enjoined) in the case of a male child. But in the case of a female child she shall remain in her uncleanness two weeks of days, according to the first two weeks, and sixty-six days in the blood of her purification, and they will be in all eighty days. |Jubilees 3:9-11|
Ebn-Ali adds that while Adam was thus a figure of clay — either forty nights or forty years Satan came and kicked it; and as it gave a sound, he said, "This is not created, but to rule and govern." And God said to His angels, " When I have animated it, ye shall fall down and worship him." They did so, but Satan would not. |Maracci, p. 22|
Note that the number 40 is frequently found in the Bible.
YESHUA stayed 40 days on earth after his crucifixion.
-
Acts 1:3 "He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God."
This number usually symbolizes a period of trial, testing or wandering in a spiritual desert.
-
Genesis 7:4 "For seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living thing I have made.”
-
Matthew 4:1-2 "Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry."
-
Jonah 3:4 "On the first day of his journey, Jonah set out into the city and proclaimed, “Forty more days and Nineveh will be overturned!”"
-
Deuteronomy 25:3 "He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be degraded in your sight."
The number 40 is also considered a generation in the Bible, meaning that a new group of Israelites reign and then die.
-
1 Kings 11:42 "Thus the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years."
-
2 Samuel 5:4 "David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years."
Adam and Eve take care of the garden
¶ The air of Paradise is full of sweet and fragrant smells; Adam drew breath from it, and grew thereby. |S. Ephrem, 8erm. X, on Par., vol. iii, p. 595|
¶ Adam and his wife were seven years in the Garden of Eden, tilling and keeping it, " and we," says the Angel of the Face, " gave him work and taught him everything needful [lit. visible] for husbandry; and he laboured at it, and gathered the fruit thereof, and laid it in store for himself and his wife. |Kufale, i.13|
Lucifer refuses to bow down to Adam, a war breaks out in heaven
¶ Lucifer was furious when he saw Adam sitting on a great throne, a crown of glory on his head, a scepter in his hand and all the angels worshipping him. And when God said to him, 'Come and worship My image and likeness,' Lucifer refused to obey and adopted an insolent and arrogant attitude. |Cf S' Ephrem cl|
¶ And when the prince of the lower order of angels saw what great majesty had been given unto Adam, he was jealous of him from that day, and he did not wish to worship him. And he said unto his hosts, "Ye shall not worship him, and ye shall not praise him with the angels. It is meet that ye should worship me, because I am fire and spirit; and not that I should worship a thing of dust, which hath been fashioned of fine dust." And the Rebel meditating these things would not render obedience to God, and of his own free will he asserted his independence and separated himself from God. But he was - swept away out of heaven and fell, and the fall of himself and of all his company from heaven took place on the "Sâtânâ" because he turned aside, and "Shêdâ" because he was cast out, and "Daiwâ" because he lost the apparel of his glory. And behold, from that time until the present day, he and all his hosts have been stripped of their apparel, and they go naked and have horrible faces. And when Sâtânâ was cast out from heaven, Adam was raised up so that he might ascend to Paradise in a chariot of fire And the angels went before him, singing praises, and the Seraphim ascribed holiness unto him, and the Cherubim ascribed blessing; and amid cries of joy and praises Adam went into Paradise. And as soon as Adam entered Paradise he was commanded not to eat of a certain tree; his entrance into Paradise took place at the third hour (Friday at 9 am) of the Eve of the Sabbath. |Cf The Book of the The Cave of Treasures - The Revolt of Satan and the Battle in Heaven|
¶ How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O destroyer of nations. You said in your heart: “I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit on the mount of assembly, in the far reaches of the north. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. |Isaiah 14:12-14|
Satan deceives Eve by making a false promise
¶ After God had given His commandment to Adam and Eve, not to touch the tree, Satan said within himself, I shall not be able to make Adam fall, but I can make Eve do so. He then drew near to her, and while whispering in her ears, he shook the tree with his hands and feet, until the fruit thereof fell to the ground; so that Eve should take of it without touching even the root of the tree. |Pirke Avoth of R. Nathan, fol. 2|
According to the Scriptures, there are two trees:
-
The tree of life: given that the human body is not immortal, it will receive the great privilege of immortality through the effect of this tree, whose fruit has the power to always preserve its strength and prevent it from being weakened by diseases, or afflicted by the sensation of pain.
-
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil: has the property of opening man's understanding to distinguish between the virtue of obedience and the evil of rebellion. Eve, seduced by the beauty of that tree, and motivated by a vain curiosity, could not resist the temptation to eat its fruit.
¶ And when Satan saw that Adam and Eve were happy and joyful in Paradise, that Rebel was smitten sorely with jealousy, and he became filled with wrath. and he went and took up his abode in the serpent, and he raised him up, and made him to fly through the air to the skirts of Mount Eden whereon was Paradise. Now why did Satan enter the body of the serpent and hide himself therein? Because he knew that his appearance was foul, and that if Eve saw his form, she would betake herself to flight straightway before him... In this manner did Satan enter in and dwell in the serpent, and he watched for the opportunity, and when he saw Eve by herself, he called her by her name. And when she turned round towards him, she saw her own form reflected in him, and she talked to him; and Satan led her astray with his lying words, because the nature of woman is yielding. And when Eve had heard from him concerning that tree, straightway she ran quickly to it, and she plucked the fruit of disobedience from the tree of transgression of the command, and she ate. Then immediately she found herself stripped naked, and she saw the hatefulness of her shame, and she ran away naked, and hid herself in another tree, and covered her nakedness with the leaves thereof. And she cried out to Adam, and he came to her, and she handed to him some of the fruit of which she had eaten, and he also did eat thereof. And when he had eaten he also became naked, and he and Eve made girdles for their loins of the leaves of the fig-trees; and they were arrayed in these girdles of ignominy for three hours. At mid-day they received their sentence of doom. And God made for them tunics of skin which was stripped from the trees, that is to say, of the bark of the trees, because the trees that were in Paradise had soft barks, and they were softer than the byssus and silk wherefrom the garments worn by kings are made. And God dressed them in this soft skin, which was thus spread over a body of infirmities. |Cf The Book of the Cave of Treasures|
-
Genesis 3:6-7 "When the woman saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eyes, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom, she took the fruit and ate it. She also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate it. And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves.
-
Genesis 3:21 "And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them."
¶ Thou didst hearken to Satan, and didst forsake the Word of God who created thee; and thou didst believe that Satan would fulfil all he had promised thee. But now, O Adam, we will make known to thee, what came upon us through him, before his fall from heaven. He gathered together his hosts, and deceived them, promising them to give them a great kingdom, a divine nature; and other promises he made them. His hosts believed that. his word was true, so they yielded to him, and renounced the glory of God. He then sent for us according to the orders in which we were-to come under his command, and to hearken to his vain promise. But we would not, and we took not his advice. Then after he had fought with God, and had dealt forwardly with Him, he gathered together his hosts, and made war with us. And if it had not been for God's strength that was with us, we could not have prevailed against him to hurl him from heaven. But when he fell from among us, there was great joy in heaven, because of his going down from us. For had he continued in heaven, nothing, not even one angel would have remained in it. But God in His mercy, drove him from among us to this dark earth; for he had become darkness itself and a worker of unrighteousness. And he has continued, O Adam, to make war against thee, until he beguiled thee and made thee come out of the garden, to this strange land, where all these trials have come to thee. And death, which God brought upon him he has also brought to thee, O Adam, because thou didst obey him, and didst transgress against God. |Cf Conflict of Adam and Eve book 1 chap 55|
The curses on Adam, Eve, and the serpent
¶ Adam and Eve were in Heaven, clothed in glory and sacred praise. Immediately after the transgression, Adam and Eve lost the angelic vision and intelligence they had before they transgressed God's commandment. And now their sight and power of discerning became limited only to matters corporeal and sensible. |Cf S' Ephrem cl|
¶ They were stripped of the garment of glory and light with which they were clothed. And when they had tasted the forbidden fruit, the garments of honour which they were clothed fell down at their feet, and they were naked and ashamed of their nakedness. They heard a thundering voice that cried out: Come out and get down from this place! You will become enemies of one another and you will have your habitation and sustenance on earth for a time. |Cf Dictionnaire historique p. 69 ; Qu'ran s. 7:24|
¶ And for the serpent, I restrained his legs in his womb and gave him the dust of the earth for food. |Cf S' Ephrem cl|
¶ When the Holy One, blessed be He, said to him, 'On your belly you will go,' the ministering angels came down and cut off his hands and feet. And his cries resounded from one end of the world to the other. |Cf Bereshit c.20:5|
¶ God took Adam, Eve and the serpent to judgment. And God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this thing, thou shalt be accursed among all the beasts of the field, and shalt walk upon thy belly: thy legs shall be cut off, and thou shalt pour out thy skin once in seven years; A deadly poison shall be in your mouth, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. And I will make an enemy between thee and the seed of the woman; and they that keep the law shall smite thee on the head, and thou shalt bite them on the heel; but there shall be a remedy for them, and they shall apply the healing power upon their heel in the days of the king Messiah. And the Lord God said unto Adam, Thou shalt eat the grass of the face of the field. And Adam said, By the graces that are in thee, O Lord, I pray that we shall not be counted as the beasts of the field, to eat the grass that grows therein, but that we arise and plow with the effort of our hands to eat our food from the fields of the earth; that by this a distinction may be made between the children of men and the beasts of the field. |Cf Targ. Ton. c.3:35|
Adam and Eve are driven out of the Garden
According to the Kufale, Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden exactly seven years, two months and seventeen days after being brought there from the land of Elda, where they had been created, and where they were now returning.
¶ Then the Lord God [the Word of the Lord] said to the ministering angels: "Behold, Adam is alone in the earth as I am alone in the high heavens, and men shall come from him who shall know good from evil. Had he kept My commandment he would have lived and continued [stood] like the Tree of Life, forever. But now since he has transgressed, let us decree to drive him out of Eden ere he take of the Tree of Life. And God drove Adam from the Garden of Eden, and he went and dwelt on Mount Moriah, to till the ground from which he had been taken. |Targ. Jonathan, dans Gen. III|
¶ Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden exactly seven years, two months, and seventeen days, after having been brought into it from the land of Elda, where they had been created, and to which they now returned. On this day [the 10th of May, Syncel.] Adam offered a sweet smelling sacrifice of incense and other spices, at sunrise; and on this day were all creatures driven from the garden, and their speech taken from them. For until that day Adam was driven from the garden, all animals, birds, and reptiles, had one speech of their own. |Kufale, p. 14, 15.|
Adam's Staff
A legend says that Adam possessed a marvelous staff, that he would have been taken from the Tree of Knowledge. Adam gave it to Enoch, Enoch to Noah, Noah to Shem, Shem to Abraham, Abraham to Isaac, Isaac to Jacob, Jacob to Joseph. On the staff was an inscription: the Shem HaMephorash of the angel Michael, according to which, if one could read it, one would understand the words of men, the language of flocks, the whistling of birds, the tongue of beasts and dogs, demons, angels, the movements of the sea, the unity of hearts, the murmur and the thoughts of the rain. |Cf British Journal - Selection of Translated Articles from Great Britain and America p. 416, 1868)|
¶ When Adam and Eve went forth from Paradise, Adam, as if knowing that he was never to return to his place, cut off a branch from the tree of good and evil--which is the fig-tree--and took it with him and went forth; and it served him as a staff all the days of his life. |CfBook of the bee c.30|
When Joseph died, everything he owned was seized and taken to Pharaoh's palace. Pharaoh planted it in the middle of his garden and when Moses entered the garden, he went straight to the staff, read the inscription and took it. Another variant says that the staff was in the garden of Jethro his father-in-law, Pharaoh's former steward. It is also said that the staff was made of almond wood.
Warning against Satan's snares
¶ And the Lord said to the angel Uriel, prince of the angels of penance: "Go, gather Adam, Eve his wife, and all their race, and then give mankind instructions on all things, on the Most High King of light whose omnipotence is infinite, on the creatures of light who must never perish. Teach him that his heart must blossom, that his intelligence must shine, like the two angels who accompany him and converse with him in a familiar manner. Warn Adam and Eve, and all their descendants, to beware of the snares of evil one and Satan, the spirit of evil. Teach them prayers and songs, and that 3 times a day and 2 times a night they pay homage to the Lord of all creatures. |Cf Codex Nasar, i, p. 68|
¶ Adam’s whole life was 930 years, and he died at the 9th hour of the day, Friday, the 14th of the moon, the 6th of nisan which is barmudak (copt) bermuda, March-April |Cf Eutychii p. 19 ; Masudi p. 69|
¶ Adam was the first to be buried on earth; he lacked 70 years out of a thousand years, for a thousand years is like a day in the testimony of heaven, and as it is written concerning the Tree of knowledge, 'In the day that thou shalt eat thereof, thou shalt die'. For this reason he did not complete the years of that day and died before. |Cf Kufale p. 19 ; Jub. p. 13|
¶ After that God spoke to Michael and said: Go to the garden of the 3rd heaven and bring 3 sheets of linen. When he brought them to him, God said to Michael and Ozel and Gabriel: Take these linen sheets and cover the body of Adam and bring the sweet oil. They brought them and placed them around him and wrapped him in this covering. When they were done, God commanded them to bring Abel's body. They brought more linen sheets and dressed him, for he had been immobilized from the day that Cain the lawless slew him, and would hide him, but could not: for as soon as the body was in the dust, there came a heavenly voice, saying, it is not permissible to hide it on earth until the first creature is returned from the earth from which it comes. |Cf Apocalypse de Moise 40.1-41.3; The Conflict of Adam and Ever Chap 1-79|
¶ We buried my father Adam after his death and the angels and the virtues of heaven also made his funeral because he had been created in the image of God. And the sun and the moon were darkened, and there was darkness for seven days. And we sealed this testament in the Treasure Cave. |Cf Apocal. d'Adam p.457;Asian newspaper, Renan - Arabic and Syriac compilation|
Birth of ADAM
Adam's whole life was 930 years (Genesis 5:5).
► George Syncellus (Byzantine monk and chronicler) wrote that: "The world was created by Elohim on the first of Nisan, or March 25. This day was considered the day of creation, the day when the word of God decreed: "Let there be light."
► Jewish tradition attributed the date of the 1st of Nisan or March 25th to the day when the waters of the flood withdrew from the earth, after the dove was sent by Noah. As well as the sacrifice of Abraham.
► It was on this day that the angel Gabriel appeared to the Blessed Virgin Mary; and this day was also considered, very early on, as the day when Christ rose from the dead, 5534 years after the creation of the world.
► "Adam the first man, king of all that is on earth, was created in the last hour of the first Friday of the first week of Nisan, the first month of the first year of the world. |Bar. Hebraeus, Syr, Dyn. i, p. 3|
► In Mesopotamia, around 2000 BC, the New Year was celebrated on the 1st of Nisan at the time of the lunar new year, which was around the 25th of March. There was then only 10 months. The calendar at that time was based on the season, and March marked the vernal equinox or the beginning of the seeding season. However, after the fall of Rome in the 5th century AD, many Christian countries changed the calendar to better reflect their religion. According to tradition, during the reign of Numa Pompilius (c. 715-673 BC), the Roman Republican calendar was changed such that January replaced March as the first month. This was a judicious choice, since January was named after Janus, the Roman god of all beginnings.
Adam came into existence 6 days after the Light was, that is, Friday. Therefore the date of birth of Adam is placed on Friday, March 30 (30/03). The same rule applies whether you use the Gregorian, Jewish, Islamic or Julian calendar. According to Scriptures, he stayed 7 years in the Garden of Eden to take care of it. It was at the end of the 7 years that the serpent came and deceived Eve. "He transgressed the order at the 6th Biblical hour (noon) and died on Friday, the 6th of Nisan, at the 9th hour of the day" |Cf Eutychii p. 19; Masudi p. 69|
Birth of YESHUA
► In the early 200s, the historian Julius Africanus wrote a book entitled "Narrative Of Events Happening In Persia On The Birth Of Christ", in which he placed the conception of Jesus on March 25.
► Between the years 202 and 211, Hippolytus of Rome, added 9 months to this date, saying, "The first advent of our Lord in the flesh, when he was born in Bethlehem, took place on December 25, a Wednesday."
► And towards the end of the third century, during the reign of the Roman Emperor Constantine, Pope Julius 1 officially declared that, "On December 25, Christ was born in Bethlehem, Judea." Now, it was the custom of the Jews in those days to pasture their flocks in the early spring (March-April). Towards the beginning of October, and throughout the cold and rainy season, shepherds would always bring their flocks from the mountains and fields and gather them into pens by October 15, in order to protect them from the cold and rainy season that would follow. According to Luke 2:7-8, at the time of YESHUA's birth, shepherds were watching their flocks in the fields, such an event in Judea, with shepherds in the fields watching over their flocks at night, could never have happened in the month of December.
Correlation between ADAM and YESHUA
-
Adam came into existence on 30/03 ◄► YESHUA dies at 33 years old
-
Adam is created on a Friday ◄► YESHUA is crucified on the day before the Sabbath or Friday (John 19:31)
-
At the 6th Biblical hour Adam transgresses the order ◄► In the 6th hour of the Bible the heavens darkened as YESHUA lay dying on the cross. There were 6 hours of time between his crucifixion and his death. (Mark 15:33)
-
Adam died on a Friday at the 9th hour of the Bible ◄► YESHUA died on a Friday at the 9th hour of the Bible
*Note that the 6th Biblical hour is equivalent to noon or midnight of our time; and the 9th Biblical hour is equivalent to 3:00 p.m. or 3:00 a.m. Thus in defiance of ELOHIM, sacrifices and great occult activities take place between midnight (6th hour of the night) and 3am (9th hour of the night).
Significance of the 6
The 6 is symbolic of the death of Adam and the death of YESHUA. It is the number of the soul of man. This number is associated with the death of humanity, in relation to the devil. Its mirror number is 9.

Revelations 13:18 "Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666."
Contrary to popular belief, the 666 or mark of the beast is not just representative of a single event that will commonly affect mankind. The mark on the forehead is representative of the thoughts and knowledge consistent with that of the devil, and the mark in their hand is representative of their actions. Thus the mark of the beast is a set of practices that many are already engaged in that will eternally lead their souls to damnation. These practices include but are not limited to: lying, slandering, hatred towards one's neighbor, stealing, murder, idolatry, witchcraft, fornication, adultery, and all that the LORD considers abominations.

Revelations 13:16-17 "And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark—the name of the beast or the number of its name."
Thus the mark of the beast is at the same time a worldwide system of mind control; but also a set of practices that many are already engaged in and that will eternally lead their souls to damnation. These practices include but are not limited to: lying, slandering, pride, hatred towards one's neighbor, stealing, murder, idolatry, witchcraft, sexual immorality (fornication, pornography, adultery), and all that the LORD considers abominable.
The real tragedy is to hear a person who does not adhere to the precepts of God and indulges in all the imaginings of his or her heart swear to you that he or she will never agree to the mark of the beast. This is exactly what the devil wants.
