DECENCY AND ORDER The Hebrew word "yim-shal" means that the man shall have "dominion" or "power" over the woman--"rule over." The same word (in a different form) is used in Gn. 1:18 meaning "to rule over" the day and the night concerning the luminary prominence of the sun and the moon. The same word (in a participle form) is used in the prophetic utterance Micah 5:2, meaning "ruler" concerning the future authority of the Lord Jesus Christ over Israel --take note of Mt. 2:5. Afterward, Eve was no longer sinless; the sorrow, loss and chastisement that sin brings materialized: Her freedom had diminished. The liberal status of our progenitors in relationship to God had been corrupted due to the fall, and their relationship (as to the aspect of authority between themselves) became affected. Also man still tills the ground today to survive – the earth still brings forth thorns and thistles; take note of the consequence of the fall (Gn. 3:18). The curse still remains today; it will not include, but remain until: "the redemption of our body" (Rom. 8:18-23); "there shall be no more curse" (Rev. 22:3); "when that which is perfect is come" (I Cor. 13:10); "we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" (I Cor. 15:49); "this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality ... Death is swallowed up in victory" (I Cor. 15:54); we "are as the angels of God in heaven" (Mt. 22:30). Becoming converted, and saved through faith in Jesus does not take away all the evil, toil, affliction, and death that sin brought forth, not does it disannul God's judgement upon the serpent, woman, man, and the earth, even though we are "the sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus" (Gal. 3:26), and even though we are "the Israel of God" (Gal. 6:16). Adam and Eve were expelled from the garden of Eden: the whole creation has never been the same since (Rom. 8:22).
