Protoevangelium Genesis 3:14-21

We all know the story of Adam in the garden.
There are 4 things in the painting of this shadow that I want you to consider about Adam in this historical event of the Garden
Adam is from the below. He was created from the dust, from a virgin earth, and to the fallen dust he did returned.
Adam from below (Gen 2:7)
Adam placed into a garden, the best of conditions where there was no sin. For all of it was good.
Adam is in the Garden (Gen 2:8)
Adam was given a positive law. Adam broke this law causing the fall of all mankind in him.
Adam broke the law (Gen 2:17, 3:6)
Adam was drove out of the Garden, to that of a sin covered world where all creation is crying out awaiting its redemption.
Transition to Jesus Now we will examine the historical Anti-type of this even found in Jesus. A story that I pray that we are all familiar with even more so than the garden. This is the mirroring effect that takes place in the fulfillment and in the success of the life of Jesus that reflects and magnifies the failure of Adam.
Jesus is from above John 8:23. being born of a virgin Matt. 1:21-23. and to the Throne above he returned Acts 2:25-34, Phil 2:5-11.
Jesus is from above
Jesus came unto the world John 1:14. which was totally fallen and depraved Matthew 23:37-39. It all was evil to the very core Galatians 1:4.
Jesus is placed in a fallen world
Jesus was completely obedient to the law 2 Cor. 5:21, 1 Peter 2:22. was completely perfect John 1:36, 1 Peter 1:19. and lived a life that none other could live for all those that are in Him Colossians 1:18.
Jesus never broke the law
Jesus was cast out the world John 1:10-11. was fully rejected by His own sinfully dead creation John 19:6-7. And He is placed in a garden where none else have laid John 19:41.
Adam is from below, Jesus is from above, Adam in a garden, Jesus in the fallen world, Adam broke the law in the best of conditions, Jesus kept the law in the worst of conditions, Adam is cast out of a garden by God into a fallen world while living, Jesus is cast out of a fallen world by man into a garden while dead.
PROTOEVENGELIUM - This is the first sharing of the Gospel. And it is shared here in the garden by God Himself.
