1. What was the fruit that Eve ate in the
garden of Eden?

2. Forbidden fruit
Genesis 2:16-17
16 And the LORD God commanded the man,
saying, Of every tree of the garden thou
mayest freely eat:
17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and
evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that
thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

3. Numbers 6:3-4
3 He shall separate himself from wine and strong
drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or
vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink
any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or
dried.
4 All the days of his separation shall he eat
nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the
kernels even to the husk.

4. Why is the vine tree for a Nazarite
"forbidden fruit"?
Blood is
forbidden
• Genesis 9:4
Type of blood
• Matthew 26:27-28

5. Forbidden
Before
the law
Genesis

Under
the law
Leviticus
17:10
After
the law
Acts
15:28

6. First two public miracles in the O.T. and
N.T.

7. Now let's put it all together.OldTestament
Before the law--
under the law--
after the law--
blood is
forbidden
Grape juice from
a vine tree is
forbidden to a
Nazarite.
NewTestament
Grape juice is a
type of blood
Christ shows up,
the first thing He
does is turn water
into grape juice
Then He says
grape juice is a
type of blood.

8. So it's a picture of getting life from
water.
• The first life in the Bible
– Genesis 1:20
• Moses takes water and turns it into blood.

9. Life from water

10. What was man made of?
Genesis 2:23
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones,
and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called
Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
• Adam was bone and flesh no blood.

11. Jesus' Body after the resurrection.
Luke 24:39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself:
handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh
and bones, as ye see me have.

12. 1 Corinthians 15:50
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither
doth corruption inherit incorruption.

13. What's the context?
Verse 45: So it is written, The first man Adam
was made a living soul; the last Adam was
made a quickening spirit.
Then Adam, when he was made, had flesh and
bones but no blood. Christ, when He arose
from the dead, had flesh and bones but no
blood. At the Rapture, you'll have flesh and
bones--but no blood!

14. What was the fruit that Eve ate in the

Come thou, and reign over us.
3. Verse 12: Then said the trees unto the vine,
Come thou, and reign over us
4. 14: Then said all the trees unto the bramble,
Come thou, and reign over us.

17. Olive Tree
Romans 11:17-24 the olive tree is a picture of
God's life to Israel. And olive oil a picture of
the Holy Spirit*. Therefore, the tree of life is
an olive tree.
* Ex. 40:9-11, Ex. 27:20-21, I Cor. 2:14; II Cor.
4:3-6, Lev. 14:14-18, Isa. 1:6, Lk. 10:34, Mk.
6:12-13,

18. Fig Tree
The tree of self-righteousness is a fig tree; it's
cursed.

19. The vine tree
And the vine tree has to be the tree of
knowledge of good and evil; Because it's
forbidden fruit.

and he planted a vineyard: And he drank of
the wine, and was drunken
• That's what Adam did.
• So, what they took was a grape.

22. Deuteronomy 32:31-32
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our
enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of
the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are
grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
