Today is a short post.

Metaphorically, an apple with a bite missing led to Eve. Although I firmly believe it wasn’t an apple, but something far more damning. I believe it was partaking of knowledge forbidden to Adam and Eve. Why? Because it took away their immortality, in exchange for death, and all that is inherent to it.

People like to think in physical terms, but this tree in the garden may have had fruit; the depth of eating from it went far deeper than a physical fruit.

A friend posted the picture you see here. He said, “Tonight I will have a post that I consider pretty important. I hope many of you will read it and give it your sincere consideration. Nothing is wrong… just to be honest… something is changing.. I am changing… and that change… it all started with an apple. I hope many of you will read it and share your feedback this evening. Have a great morning and an even better day.”

I know what his thoughts are, and they likely have nothing to do with where my mind went. The Bible likes to put things in a frame that humans can connect with. Then comes spiritual growth, and the deeper meaning starts to surface.

My reason for the post is this. Those who have read this for most of their lives, thinking of an apple, need to start digging deeper. It’s time to start looking at things with our spiritual eyes and seek understanding of what’s really happening around us. All that is physical is the end result of spiritual motivations.

Eph 6:12 – For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

What’s really going on is in the invisible realm. These principalities and powers of the unseen realm are deceiving and puppeteering humankind.

That bite from a tree in the garden was the starting point of the chaos that is around us today.
