Numerical Expositions: Genesis 2:12

And the gold of that land is good:  there is bdellium and the onyx stone.

-- Gen. 2:12 (KJV)

There's an old cliche out there that is totally wrong.  The saying is, "Money is the root of all evil."  However, the statement is misquoted because the initial part of the text from I Timothy 6:10 was butchered.  The first part of the tenth verse reads, "For the love of money is the root of all evil:"

Genesis 2:12 states that gold and precious jewels are good.  Money is good.  Loving money is the problem.  Do not fall into the trap of materialism.  The amount of money that you possess does not determine how much evil pumps through your heart.  There are plenty of people that are broke that are very wicked people.  Also, there are some rich people that have good hearts.  A decision must be made to choose to be good instead of being evil no matter what your monetary status is at this present time.

Numerical Analysis:  The numerical pattern for this verse is 2,3,5,1.  (2) To be delivered, realize that having money is OK.  (3) To stay in the Spirit, know where you need to go so that you can generate wealth.  (5) To stay in God's presence, know where you need to go so that you can generate wealth.  (1) To stay in the anointing, know where you need to go so that you can generate wealth.
