GENESIS 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. INTERPRETER: No matter how much man had suffered to eat or how much man had eaten, food of dusts cannot remove man from being dust: No matter how much one transforms dust into beautiful things or images, what came out of dust must return to the dust – This is the law of dust. The greatest image and treasure that came out of dust was man; so if the greatest image and treasure of dust must return back to dust, then there is no treasure of dust that will escape dust forever including the cars, possessions, gold, precious stones, minerals, riches and clothings, all of dust etc. Man is from the dust, and the food he eats is from the dust of the ground: How can man escape dust by eating the food that comes from the dust? VISION: Man hoped to become gods by eating the forbidden fruit, but man ended up becoming dust which must return to dust. What is the use of eating like gods, but die like men of dust? (Psalms 82:6-7) It is the gift of God that enables man to eat even in the sweat of his face (Ecclesiastes 3:13): As it is written, “There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.” (Ecclesiastes 2:24) God did not remove the power to eat from Adam, rather he rendered everything man eats from the dust to vanity. Let us not live our lives on food under the dust, but on food which can never be turned into dust, for it neither came from dust nor will return therein: As it is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God” (Luke 4:4). HARBINGER: Since Genesis 3:19 began with eating and end in dust returning to dust, then what one eats is a prophecy of how one will end: 1. Let us eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Corinthians 15:32-33): this is how eating and drinking prophesies that one will end in death; 2. Do not labour for the food that perishes, but for that food that endures to everlasting life through the Son of man, Jesus Christ, who is sealed by God the Father (John 6:27): This is how eating and drinking prophesies that one will continue to everlasting life beyond death. Remember it all began when God told Adam, saying, ‘the day you eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you shall die’. Therefore, what you eat prophesies how you will end: if you have eaten of the forbidden fruit already (food of dust), try and eat of the tree of life so that you will live forever (Bread of life) – Genesis 3:22.
