Variations on a Theme:
Gen 3:20-24
The musical story of Peter and the Wolf is a good learning tool for children. It not only introduces them to the sound of some instruments, but also demonstrates how music can tell a story. The story begins light with Peter represented by string instruments, but soon it becomes dramatic when the wolf, sounded by horns, comes on the scene. Now imagine Scripture being set to music. (I have heard of people singing verses in Hebrew.) In the beginning we heard the majestic sounds of creation. But then in chapter three the music becomes moody as sin enters the score. The rest of the Bible will be the interplay between sin and redemption. We have already read the first prophesy in verse 15, and now we have the first sacrifice in verse 21. Sacrifice is a variation on the Messianic theme. Note that the fig leaves that the couple used were not good enough. God had to provide an animal sacrifice because only blood can cover sin.
Finally, man is cast out of paradise. It seems that there was the possibility of Adam both being immortal and knowing good and evil. Perhaps it would have been a fate worse than death. Cherubims are set in place to guard the garden. They are a type of angel, and I assume that they were visible to Adam. However, beings from the spirit realm are usually invisible. I admit I’m confused on that point. But I do like the mention of the flaming sword. It’s a light saber!
