The way is closed to the Father and the Tree of Life. This was the ending of Genesis chapter 3. Now what? This is where it is clear that Jesus, when He says in John 5:39, sometime between 24-30 A.D., that scripture (it was only the Old Testament then) testifies of Him, we see the GOOD NEWS, the GOSPEL according to Moses. Jesus says He is the Way and the Truth and the Life. He is the Way and the only way to the Father! This is obviously so connected to the fact that the way is closed to the Father after the sin of Adam and Eve. But, Jesus is clearly telling us the WAY is open, we can go back , we can enter Gan Eden, Paradise, if we chose Him.
Adam and Eve freely chose to disobey God and they lost it all. Now, God sets up the same situation in reverse. If we chose Jesus then we gain it all, we gain eternal life! But, in Matthew's Gospel Jesus says that there are many who will come and say they did this or that in Jesus' name. And Jesus said that is nothing. It amounts to NIL. Why? Jesus said
He did not KNOW them
I wonder. Jesus is speaking Hebrew and not Aramaic. He says they did not KNOW Him. The first time this word comes up in the Torah is Genesis 4:1, or Adam KNEW his wife. Is there something about this word KNOW in Hebrew that will give us insight into our relationship with Yeshua? You bet.
