it to her husband to eat of.As soon as they ate of it,They became conscious of their nakedness(their focus shifted from God to the self)
As a consequence of this,their mindset "changed"from wanting to be submissive to the true God and be more and more like him,to one that didn't want to submit to God.Instead they became beings who were fooled to think that they could be "gods" without submitting to the true God(Rebellion) this was the view that the serpent wanted them to see.
When they became conscious of their nakedness(their lack of glory without God who previously covered them)They sought to make "coverings"for themselves(Gen 3;7).These coverings represent the fact that they sought to cover their "bare" selves with glory manufactured by themselves(making a name for themselves:pride)
Just as there were two trees in the garden there are also two mindsets today.That of the world and that of God.The mindset of God is centered on God just like Adam and Eve were prior to the fall.The mindset of the world is centered on the self just like Adam and eve were after the fall.That's why the Bible says in 1 john 4:4:Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. "He that is in You" represents the breathe of Life(Gods spirit)that dwelt in man prior to the fall.He that is the the world represents the forbidden fruit(satanic spirit)that lives and animates humanity.
Romans 8:21:"Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God"
From the above verse we can see that the whole of creation is in bondage to corruption(fruit of disobedience)This is because the whole world as it is today "defragmented" from the "tree of sin"that Adam and eve partook of.That's why all the seed of Adam and eve bear their sinful and rebellious image (Gen 5:3,Romans 3:23).That's also why the creation have "beastly" and not Divine tendencies.(Gen 3:1 psalm 49:20)They all look like their "beastly" father the devil(John 8:44)
Gen 10:32: "These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations "divided" in the earth after the flood".
Gen 11:1:"And the whole earth was of "one" language, and of "one" speech.
Gen 11:6:"And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have
