MOTHER EVE
First there was Adam.
Then Eve.
She was taken from him; she owed her existence to him.
Here is a divine irony.
Without the man, there would be no woman.
But from that time forward the woman would become the bearer of life to all men and women.
This was a high honour.
Yet it was more than this: it was an elegant foreshadowing of the great restitution to come.
The Gospel-Age Church was brought to life by Christ Jesus, whose death on the cross had purchased her for his wife and knit her into a unified Body of believers.
And she will in the Millennial Kingdom on earth become the mother of all those who choose life over death. A second Eve. Such a high honour will be to her everlasting tribute. – AP
