Redemption of creation :The five pairs of blessing and curses in Genesis

Themes of RedemptionGender Equality
Galatians (NRSV) 3: 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise.
We know Jesus redeemed us from hell's grave, by suffering the cross, as Lord Jesus said "when Jesus is lifted up, the whole world will be drawn to Jesus."
Jesus Christ's risen and miraculous presence in this world 2019 years later, to come and go with His bride the Church (Orthodox, Anglican, Catholic, brethren). But because God is Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit, the redemption is seen right through the whole Holy Bible: front cover to back cover.
So God made the world as a blessed world, and Adam and Eve sinned cursing the world.
From Genesis chapters 1 to chapter 11, there are 5 verses with the word "bless" and 5 verses with the word "curse".
Then in Genesis 12 to 18 there are 5 words "bless" redeeming through Abraham and Sarah (and their legacy including Israel's nation, and Israel's last generation of Jesus, and Jesus' Christianity).
First pair of verses
The Theme of this pair, is acting within your day's dimensional context , or as the snake in a lower dimensional context.
Humans and Land animals should think in long-term plans. The snake's Science's curse (that facilitates the world's destruction) is to think about only one single moment.
The God said "in that Day you eat you will die" . the snake said the antithesis hypothesis about her that very moment "in that day your eyes will be opened"
Land creatures belong to 6th dimensional context of long-term future plans, but the snake only saw that present-instant in which Eve could eat or not, thus God gave the snake the abilities of a fish in the thick medium of water, or a bird in the unstable medium of air, turning left or right at any one time.
Genesis 1:22
And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”
1:22 בראשית
בָּאָֽרֶץ׃ יִ֥רֶב וְהָע֖וֹף בַּיַּמִּ֔ים הַמַּ֙יִם֙ אֶת־ וּמִלְא֤וּ וּרְב֗וּ פְּר֣וּ לֵאמֹ֑ר אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֹתָ֛ם וַיְבָ֧רֶךְ
Genesis 3:14
The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.
3:14 בראשית
וַיֹּאמֶר֩ יְהֹוָ֨ה אֱלֹהִ֥ים ׀ אֶֽל־הַנָּחָשׁ֮ כִּ֣י עָשִׂ֣יתָ זֹּאת֒ אָר֤וּר אַתָּה֙ מִכָּל־הַבְּהֵמָ֔ה וּמִכֹּ֖ל חַיַּ֣ת הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה עַל־גְּחֹנְךָ֣ תֵלֵ֔ךְ וְעָפָ֥ר תֹּאכַ֖ל כָּל־יְמֵ֥י חַיֶּֽיךָ׃
The Second pair of Verses
God gives humans dominion over the specifically mentioned creations, so that by works, the humans and creatures can multiply, and increase heaven-above's futures with life. Protestants call this the covenant of works by which Adam lived before the curse. Consider Abraham's "those who bless you will be blessed, but those who curse you will be cursed": The works of the hand, upon the earth, even though we might try doubly blessings will reap equal curses, what is farming without harvest. Moses had a plan for blessing creation, this is why it requires obedience, even total obsessive love for the God, so that in eating only green, the branches and creatures may survive, and in eating fruit, the seeds may wisely be sown. This assumes total populationi obedience, the curse would be that life-multiplying people are so successful, that world-dest.l more (for economic gain). Let's see the pair. .
Genesis 1:28
God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground."
1:28 בראשית
וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ אֹתָם֮ אֱלֹהִים֒ וַיֹּ֨אמֶר לָהֶ֜ם אֱלֹהִ֗ים פְּר֥וּ וּרְב֛וּ וּמִלְא֥וּ אֶת־הָאָ֖רֶץ וְכִבְשֻׁ֑הָ וּרְד֞וּ בִּדְגַ֤ת הַיָּם֙ וּבְעֹ֣וף הַשָּׁמַ֔יִם וּבְכָל־חַיָּ֖ה הָֽרֹמֶ֥שֶׂת עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
Genesis 3-17
To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat from it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life.
3:17 בראשית
וּלְאָדָ֣ם אָמַ֗ר כִּֽי־שָׁמַעְתָּ֮ לְקֹ֣ול אִשְׁתֶּךָ֒ וַתֹּ֙אכַל֙ מִן־הָעֵ֔ץ אֲשֶׁ֤ר צִוִּיתִ֙יךָ֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לֹ֥א תֹאכַ֖ל מִמֶּ֑נּוּ אֲרוּרָ֤ה הָֽאֲדָמָה֙ בַּֽעֲבוּרֶ֔ךָ בְּעִצָּבֹון֙ תֹּֽאכֲלֶ֔נָּה כֹּ֖ל יְמֵ֥י חַיֶּֽיךָ׃
The third pair.
Concerns the works of the hands, as Jesus Christ said "sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath". We remember the sabbath day, that it is rest from all our works. But we see that cain killed abel, because cain didn't like abel's works, and by cain's works killed his fellow-human brother. We also remember that seventh day and Genesis is in the historical context of Moses and Jesus Christ, such that the 10 commandments are the greatest revelation to mankind from God own finger and spoke upon the mount. So only in the 10 commandments of Exodus 20, mentions the creation of the world, in relation to the 10 commandments and the sabbath day. Only Exodus 20, of all the chapters within the holy bible relate these two logically different times, within the same passage.
Genesis 2:3
Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
2:3 בראשית
וַיְבָ֤רֶךְ אֱלֹהִים֙ אֶת־יֹ֣ום הַשְּׁבִיעִ֔י וַיְקַדֵּ֖שׁ אֹתֹ֑ו כִּ֣י בֹ֤ו שָׁבַת֙ מִכָּל־מְלַאכְתֹּ֔ו אֲשֶׁר־בָּרָ֥א אֱלֹהִ֖ים לַעֲשֹֽׂות׃ פ
Genesis 4:11
And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.
4:11 בראשית
ועתה ארור אתה מן־האדמה אשר פצתה את־פיה לקחת את־דמי אחיך מידך׃
A Fourth Pair. The name is important. what is a name? is it the first word which escapes the mouth when something is discovered?
When New Zealand was first seen by people on boats, arriving they said it was "land of long-white cloud". Noah's name blesses us as it remembers the curse upon the earth, for the sentient humans to avoid, and guide life to avoid "curses". Adam's family was called "adam" so that male and female, all humankind are "adam", which hebrew people will say "adam" is symbolic of "atom" because adam is related to earth by name, and earth is related to atomic matter, by post-modern scietific view of the holy bible.
Genesis5:2
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
זָכָ֥ר וּנְקֵבָ֖ה בְּרָאָ֑ם וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ אֹתָ֗ם וַיִּקְרָ֤א אֶת־שְׁמָם֙ אָדָ֔ם בְּיֹ֖ום הִבָּֽרְאָֽם׃ ס
Genesis 5:29
He named him Noah and said, "He will comfort us in the labor and painful toil of our hands caused by the ground the LORD has cursed."
וַיִּקְרָ֧א אֶת־שְׁמֹ֛ו נֹ֖חַ לֵאמֹ֑ר זֶ֞ה֠ יְנַחֲמֵ֤נוּ מִֽמַּעֲשֵׂ֙נוּ֙ וּמֵעִצְּבֹ֣ון יָדֵ֔ינוּ מִן־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֵֽרְרָ֖הּ יְהוָֽה׃
fifth pair
Children of Noah are blessed, blessed to multiply. are His children "different" from Noah? that is what people say. is every human a descendant of Noah? yes, even if you found someone living underground the chance that their ancestor is a descendant of Noah, is 1 out of any possible 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (nontillion ancestors on your family tree alone, for 4000 years). the Curse is to be dedicated to serving people, which means we make possible what it impossible for the individual and his two hands. But the blessing is to obey and serve God our Father of Jesus.
Genesis 9:1
And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
וַיְבָ֣רֶךְ אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֶת־נֹ֖חַ וְאֶת־בָּנָ֑יו וַיֹּ֧אמֶר לָהֶ֛ם פְּר֥וּ וּרְב֖וּ וּמִלְא֥וּ אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
Genesis 9:25
And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.
וַיֹּ֖אמֶר אָר֣וּר כְּנָ֑עַן עֶ֥בֶד עֲבָדִ֖ים יִֽהְיֶ֥ה לְאֶחָֽיו׃

Genesis 12: 1-5 The Calling of Abram

(Genesis 12:1-5; 26)
1Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran. 5And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

Redemption


Gender Equality

Genesis 1:27 Genesis 5:2 Men and Women were created by God on the sixth day of creation,
Genesis 12:1 Abraham and Sarah were born into the same family by blood, they were kin and kith.
Genesis 16:5 When Abraham had a child called "Ishmael" by his prostitute "Hagar, " Sarah grew insulted, and separated herself from Abrahm.
When Abraham and Sarah had sex, to conceive their child of promise, the child of the covenant named "Isaac". they became 'one flesh" as the tradition of Adam and Eve, in Genesis 4:1-2 The two became one flesh.
Abraham and Sarah, and Isaac, understood this hard-faught self-respect and mutual respect of Gender equality.
that is why Isaac had one wife when he grew up.
But unfortunately, Though Jacob had Isaac's heart, for one woman alone. Jacob loved Rachel.
Abraham and Jacob the GrandFather and GrandSon had many wives. But Isaac the child of promise, the seed of hope's promise of faith. He had one wife. in the Hope of Adam and Eve's start. We see this Genesis 1:28, when God made the humans. Even Genesis 2:4 - 3:18 , where Eden is the Mind of God, as though the lone divine mind watching all of life, is only God, in Eden, and Adam slept in 5-dimensional futures, before Eve was created, even after Adam ran around naming all the animals.
But literally the curse is in Genesis 3:16, that man will rule over woman, with the judge's gavel (hammer) which represents all the ways men snarkily complain about women , their beauty etc, to beat them into submission.
Here then, we see fulfilled in Genesis 6-2, the Nephilim, the sons of gods, who mated with the daughters of humanbeings.
Because that behaviour of having multiple wives and being superior to women's humanity, has happened since the first wars and the cause of Noah's flood.
We can see in history, the pyramid builders were male-dominated, as world war 2 people were male-dominated.
The Europeans judged the beauty of their women maids, and those pyramid builders elongated their heads.
Their bulbous heads were why their deification is remembered, if only by UFO-plausibility-accepting scholars.
Abraham and Sarah's life thus shows the redemption of Genders, back to the state in Genesis 1.
Abraham and Sarah were born as step-siblings.

Jews believe that Sarah is Sarah's third name which she changed herself. Her first name, is "Iscah" sister of "Milkah". and then Iscah changed her name to "Sarai" when she married. Iscah means "seer", and so despite the connotations of female-prophets, "seer" probably meant "beautiful maiden". (beauty of seer is in the eyes of the beholder.)
Sarai means "my princess" , because she was royalty like her sister, and now married to Abram. When Abram turned 100 years old, and changed his name to Abraham. Sarai changed her name to Sarah.
Sarah means "the princess" (the female captain).
Thus today, Jews say Abraham was Sarah's uncle. The ancient people lacked a name "uncle" or "neice" and just used "brother and sister."
Anyway, Abraham and Sarah were related by blood, one family, one kinship. One Flesh.
But when for all the reasons thinkable,
