Bible passage: Genesis 2:15Andiko la Biblia: Mwanzo 2:15
"Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it."“Bwana Mungu akamtwaa huyo mtu, akamweka katika bustani ya Edeni, ailime na kuitunza.”
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ.
This is the 54th Lecture on Genesis. In the last lecture, I explained how dinosaurs became incited by Satan. Dinosaurs envied the cherubim so much. Since the cherubim escorted Adam they were always with him. The dinosaurs' envy grew greater and greater and was reaching a level that could have deteriorated into evil. Satan kept an eye on the Garden of Eden and immediately sensed this change in the dinosaurs' character. Satan kept on sending the waves of untruthful thought to the dinosaurs. Eventually the dinosaurs began to accept the thoughts that Satan sent.
Later, the dinosaurs were tempted by Satan who told the dinosaurs that they could become like cherubim once they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. As a result, the dinosaurs asked Adam to permit them to eat the fruit. Adam explained to them why they should not eat from it, but he couldn't convince them at all. They began to look for an opportunity to eat the tree's fruit I explained everything up to this point in the last lecture.
Dear brothers and sisters. When parents tell their children that they must never do something, there are some would try even more eagerly to do it. For example, a mother gives caution to her son, saying, "Don't play with the matches. You may burn down this whole house."
Ndugu wapendwa katika Kristo.
Hili ni somo la 54 la Mafundisho ya Mwanzo. Katika somo lililopita nilieleza jinsi dinosauri walivyochochewa na Shetani. Dinosauri waliwaonea wivu makerubi sana kwa sababu makerubi walimsindikiza Adamu na kuwa pamoja naye daima. Wivu wao ulizidi kukua, ukikaribia kugeuka kuwa uovu. Shetani aliitazama Bustani ya Edeni na mara moja akatambua mabadiliko hayo katika tabia zao. Akaendelea kuwatumia mawazo yasiyo ya kweli, na hatimaye dinosauri wakaanza kuyakubali.
Baadaye Shetani akawajaribu, akisema kwamba wangeweza kuwa kama makerubi kama wangekula matunda ya mti wa ujuzi wa mema na mabaya. Kwa hiyo dinosauri walimwomba Adamu awaruhusu kula matunda hayo. Adamu aliwaeleza kwa nini hawakupaswa kula, lakini hakuweza kuwashawishi. Wakaanza kutafuta nafasi ya kula matunda ya mti huo. Hayo ndiyo niliyowaeleza katika somo lililopita.
Ndugu wapendwa, wazazi wanapowaambia watoto wasifanye jambo fulani kamwe, baadhi yao hujitahidi hata zaidi kulifanya. Kwa mfano, mama anamwonya mwanawe, “Usicheze na viberiti. Unaweza kuchoma nyumba nzima.”
