Genesis 4
Our story ended last week with a picture both of Judgment as well as Hope. Adam and Eve no longer in a state of innocence, having rebelled against their creator. They made fig leaves to cover their nakedness, hid from God. God found them as He always does - the blame shifting began. Now God is going to vocalize Judgment.
1. God Judges The Serpent - Genesis 3:14-24 (NAS)

Don't you know that from that promise, with the birth of every son Eve wondered, could this be the one?
2. God Judges The Woman - a. Physical Curse - 16 To the woman He said, "I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children; b. Spiritual Curse - 16b. Yet your desire will be for your husband, And he will rule over you."

Submission is not part of the curse - difficult submission is.
3. God Judges The Man
a. Physical Curse - 17 Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of y ...
