A Bride For Adam

In John’s gospel we read the office of the Holy Spirit being as follows: ‘…the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost…he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance…’(14: 26,17)
Adam didn’t find a partner from the creatures God had made.

In the first chapter of Genesis we read that God commanded, ‘Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind… and God saw that it was good. (Gen1:24-25) Gods creations are good: cattle, fish of the sea and fowl of the air etc.,( ‘What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.’(Ac 11:9) God had made them good and yet Adam didn’t find them fit for his requirement. He wanted a companion to share his idyllic life. Of this we can read in the verse 19 of Genesis chapter 2.
As mentioned in an earlier post this chapter is speaking of the same Creative Chronicle but from another angle. From the standpoint of the Holy Spirit.
God had breathed into man. (vs.7)
As a living soul His spirit dwells in Adam. Holy Spirit is a spirit of Revelation, of Knowledge and as we read in the gospel of John is the Spirit of Truth. What is the office of the Spirit? He brings to remembrance what is the will of God. Then as now. Man was made a contextual substance so he could understand his own position in the Divine Will. Being taught of the Holy Spirit that was in him he could place all the creatures in relation to his own. He didn’t find in them a helpmeet. Rightly so.
It was then the Lord God caused a deep sleep in Adam. He had to have a woman. We are still following the thread of Creation Chronicle from the standpoint of the Holy Spirit. This being the case we are not to take creation of Eve in a literal sense.
In the previous chapter we read that, ’male and female he created them.’(vs.27) With the creation of Eve we see woman who is co-equal with man and having contextual substance. She also serves a special function: she is his spiritual Counsellor and Comforter. Man and woman are as one just as God the Father was with the Holy Spirit.
Woman had become a sign of the Indwelling of Spirit , the raison d’etre for the Church. Adam and Eve is a type of Christ and the Church.
