I mean it's not like the whole garden thing was planned or anything. After that disaster some way had to be found to put things right that didn't leave God looking like the idiot he is.
Blaming it all on the woman was a good start but it left the man looking like a dufus. So you say something like "created them in his own image yada yada yada" and then you can back people off with "whataya mean he's a dufus! He's the image of God you got a problem with God?" One thing after another. You got to stay one step ahead or it gets ugly real quick.
Like Cain and Abel. Who would have thought a shepherd and a farmer would end up at each others throats and one of 'em dead. Now maybe it wasn't such a good idea to accept Abel's sacrifice and not Cain's but you got to have standards. And by God blood wins out. That's just the way it has to be. Wheat is just not the same. Green stuff don't bleed anybody knows that.
Well Cain took it the wrong way and next thing you know the plan is set back another couple hundred years. One little thing like one of the first two kids born on earth killing the other one is a major screw up. Take my word for it. It is
It can happen before you even know what hit you. Anyway it was the next screw up that really did it.
All of a sudden it was Sodom and Gomorrah [no wait, that's later on isn't it] things just went to hell [no wait] things got really bad. Really bad and there was nothing to do but put a stop to it. Have you any idea how much it takes out of you to drown an entire planet? It takes a lot but the real pisser is it added thousands and thousands of years to The Plan. Starting all over is no fun even when you're omnipotent.
Lets us cut to the chase. If you need a Messiah you can't just pluck one out of thin air. He has to come from somewhere don't you think. He's got to have a family. And a nation. And a history. And a people. All this takes time.
First it was Abram in Ur then Abram and the Land of Cannan and Sarai and people as the stars forever and ever. Then Hagar and Ishmael and Abraham and circumcision and Sarah and Isaac and it goes on and on and on.
Sodom and Gomorrah then Jacob and Joseph and his brothers and Egypt. Moses the plagues. Frogs. Lice. Flies. On and on. Exodus. The wilderness. Fourty years. The big Ten. Golden calf. Leviticus. Numbers. Deuteronomy. Joshua. Jericho and the walls came a tumblin down. Slay, kill, smite, murder, blood, death, kill a city here a tribe there save the cows and the girls cause you can use both of those but kill anything you can't eat or screw.
All this takes way more time than you know. And the stink. In all those verses did you read one even about burying the dead? No. The Land of Milk and Honey smelled. Bad
Saul and David and Bethsheba and Solomon and the first Temple. Rehoboam, Jeroboam, Abijam, Asa, Ahab and Jehoshaphat. Elijah and Elisha. Jehoram, Jehu and Joash. Jehoahaz, Amaziah and Ahaz. Israel in captivity.
Hezekiah, Isaiah and Nebuchadnezzar and Babylon they don't make names like they used to do they. Ezra, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, whoredom and judgement. Idolatry, disobedience and calamities. Back to Babylon and Lamentations. Ezekiel, Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk no they don't make 'em like they used to. Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi and then Jesus.
See how long it takes to get it right? It was only luck that got Jesus down there as soon as he did. And I'm not so sure it won't get screwed up yet again. God doesn't have the best track record you know.
