Numerical Expositions: Genesis 3:7

And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

-- Gen. 3:7 (KJV)

The moral of this verse is very simple.  When the focus turns away from God, then a person will begin to focus upon his or her own insecurities.  Notice that Adam and Eve made clothes in order to cover their inadequacies.  Do not allow for materialism to cause for you to become a disillusioned person.  If you cover up your flaws, then you will never fix them.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 3,7,1.  (3) Stay in the Spirit so that your vision does not become locked in upon depravity.  (7) To be complete, do not focus upon your own inadequacies.  (1) To follow God, do not attempt to cover up your flaws.

Numerical Expositions: Genesis 3:6

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

-- Gen. 3:6 (KJV)

How could Adam and Eve do the only thing that they were not supposed to do?  Notice the progression that is within this verse.  The incorrect focus led to the desire to do wrong.  Realize that your eyes are the key to your future.  You will do whatever you focus upon.  If you want to do something in life that will impact others in a positive fashion, then you need to focus upon the topic of positivity.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 3,6,9.  (3) To stay in the Spirit, do not allow for your focus to stray.  (6) To expose evil, realize that something is not good solely because it looks good.  (9) To overturn evil, do not take shortcuts when you are seeking after wisdom.

Numerical Expositions: Genesis 3:5

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

-- Gen. 3:5 (KJV)

The devil was quick to capitalize on the lack of commitment towards God's command given to man in regards to eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  The devil tricked the woman by making the scenario seem like that she was missing out on something.  That's the same trick that he uses now; the deceiver tries to make it seem like God is holding out on you.

However, that persuasiveness should not influence you.  The things that the devil claimed the woman would have were the things that God had already given to mankind.  Knowing your identity is the key to not caving in to the devil because the devil will attempt to offer you things such as power, enlightenment, authority, and knowledge which are things that God has already given you when you choose to believe in the Lord.  Never go for the shortcut that the devil offers.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 3,5,8.  (3) To stay in the Spirit, realize that you can never put limitations upon how much He knows.  (5) Stay in God's presence in order to receive enlightenment.  (8) Choose to have a new beginning in God in order to have authority.
