This is the 58th Lecture on Genesis. 

Genesis 2:15 says, "Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it." God the Father formed the first man, Adam, from the dust of the ground of the earth and He breathed the breath of life into his nostrils to make him a living being. God led him into the Garden of Eden to live there. As God the Trinity taught Adam the knowledge of spirit, Adam came to have great wisdom as he used the knowledge. Since Adam had no sin in those days, he had, in a spiritual sense, tremendous authority of light as well. With spiritual authority and wisdom, he ruled and controlled not only the Garden of Eden in the second heaven, but also the first heaven. 

The period of time Adam lived in the Garden of Eden was too long for us to imagine. Adam lived in the Garden of Eden for countless years as he was fruitful and prospered in all tings. He frequently traveled to the earth as well. During such a long period of time, many things took place, and some of them had something to do with the earth. One of them was the dinosaur incident that I explained in the last few lectures. The dinosaur fossils are found throughout the whole world, but somehow they suddenly became extinct. Scientists invested long years of study, but they failed to find the correct cause of their extinction. There have been many proposals, but there is none to satisfy all the conditions. According to the word of God, however, we can get the answer so easily. 

That's what I have explained over the last few lectures. Now, can you recall the reason why dinosaurs were driven out to the earth from the Garden of Eden? It was because they tried to eat from the forbidden tree of knowledge of good and evil. The center area of the Garden of the Eden where the tree of knowledge of good and evil is located is the restricted area, and it was guarded by cherub. One day, Adam traveled to the earth on a grande scale, and he even took the cherubim that were guarding this restricted area.

Hili ni somo la 58 katika mafundisho ya Mwanzo.

Mwanzo 2:15 inasema, “Bwana Mungu akamtwaa huyo mtu, akamweka katika bustani ya Edeni, ailime na kuitunza.” Mungu Baba alimfanyiza Adamu, mwanadamu wa kwanza, kutoka mavumbini mwa ardhi, kisha akampulizia pumzi ya uhai puani na kumfanya kiumbe hai. Mungu alimwongoza aishi katika Bustani ya Edeni. Mungu wa Utatu alipomfundisha Adamu maarifa ya roho, Adamu alipata hekima kubwa alipoyatumia maarifa hayo. Kwa kuwa siku hizo Adamu hakuwa na dhambi, alikuwa pia na mamlaka kubwa ya nuru kwa maana ya kiroho. Kwa mamlaka na hekima ya kiroho alitawala na kusimamia si Bustani ya Edeni katika mbingu ya pili pekee, bali pia mbingu ya kwanza.

Kipindi ambacho Adamu aliishi Bustani ya Edeni kilikuwa kirefu mno kwetu kukifikiria. Aliishi humo kwa miaka isiyohesabika, akizaa na kufanikiwa katika mambo yote. Pia alitembelea dunia mara nyingi. Katika kipindi hicho kirefu mambo mengi yalitokea, na baadhi yalihusiana na dunia. Moja lilikuwa tukio la dinosaurs nililoeleza katika masomo machache yaliyopita. Mabaki ya dinosaurs hupatikana duniani kote, lakini kwa namna fulani walitoweka ghafla. Wanasayansi walifanya utafiti kwa miaka mingi lakini hawakupata sababu sahihi ya kutoweka kwao. Mapendekezo mengi yametolewa, lakini hakuna linalotosheleza mambo yote. Hata hivyo, kwa Neno la Mungu tunaweza kupata jibu kwa urahisi.

Hilo ndilo nililoeleza katika masomo yaliyopita. Je, mnakumbuka kwa nini dinosaurs walifukuzwa kutoka Bustani ya Edeni hadi duniani? Ni kwa sababu walijaribu kula tunda la mti uliokatazwa, Mti wa Ujuzi wa Mema na Mabaya. Eneo la katikati la Bustani ya Edeni, ambako mti huo ulikuwa, lilikuwa eneo lililozuiwa na lililolindwa na kerubi. Siku moja Adamu alisafiri duniani kwa msafara mkubwa na akawachukua hata makerubi waliolinda eneo hilo.
