Chronlogical Through the Bible in one year notes
Jan1, 2003 Genesis 1-3

Genesis 1
Ten times (the number of perfection) God said, and seven times (the number of God), God saw that it was good. The Bible clearly states what has happened. Does that mean that these are to be taken as literal days? Does that mean there was light before there was a sun? I do not know what it all means. But I have faith that it happened as the Bible wrote it. And the progression is perfect. You need water for plants, you need plants for animals to eat. One thing I noticed though. Before the fall, man was a vegetarian. After the fall things changed.

Genesis 2
Other than the beginning of two, where the sabath is defined, Chapter 2 is just a retelling of Chapter 1 from a different direction. Notice man was doing his job of dominion over the animals. He named them, the one who rules gets to name. But a helper was needed for man. And the triune God chose to take a part of man, the female side he was created with, and make a separate being.

Genesis 3
The serpent was the Devil in disguise. He planted a seed of doubt in Eve's mind. Why did Eve respond with something that was a stretch of God's teaching. Did Adam not teach her properly, did she exegerate? The tree was good for wisdom, but the type of wisdom that wold make man independant of God, and that brought about the death, when we think we do not need God we are spirtualy dead. Adam did not need to take the food, but he did, listening to his wife (God even says that) instead of God. And here we have the first example of passing the buck. Adam blames God (the woman you gave me) and Eve. Eve blames the serpent. The serpent, actually Satan, get the first prophecy of Christ's coming said to him, Eve gets told there will be pain in childbirth, and that she will loose co-leadership with her husband and desire to rule over him. And Adam gets the worst, life without parole in working the earth and never having enough. Lastly they get kicked out of the garden so they do not eat the fruit that let them live forever in their sins.
