ADAM’S FIRST JOB

ADAM’S FIRST JOB

"And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name." Gen. 2:19

Adam's first job Gen 2:19  "And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name."  The amazing underlying teaching here is that Adam being a few days old is here talking with God, receiving instructions and obeying what was asked. The underlying concept is he was listening, hearing, and understanding God and with no age to speak of. We read His words today in His book of truth and are stymied by what His intent is, Adam had no problem. His mind was not as the Catholic doctrine teaches, a monkey who just stood erect and God adds to His makeup. This was an immense task that men today in that realm could not perform as Adam did with ease.

This was a stupendous intellectual achievement, and reveals to us something of the capacity of man's mind before the Fall. While it is true that many of the 17,000 air-breathing species of modern taxonomy are probably only varieties of the originally created kinds. lt must also be remembered that Adam was confronted with many kinds of air-breathing animals that have since become extinct. Having an unfallen brain using 100% of its capabilities made this a simple task for Adam. The mind capabilities of Adam were unbelievable to accomplish this task. He had a memory which was photographic for he passed on all this information down the line until Moses (26 generations) put it in writing 3000 years later. There is abundant biblical and extra-biblical evidence that Moses wrote the Pentateuch during the wilderness wanderings after the Jews left their slavery in Egypt and before they entered the Promised Land (about 1445–1405 BC). Even the most insignificant detail of the Torah shines with the magnificence and depth of the brightest star.
