Q): Why in Genesis 3:20 does it say Eve is the Mother of All Living if Cain went off to other cities and people Yahweh created?

A): Actually Gen 3:20 properly translated states:

Gen 3:20 And the man called the name of his wife, Eve; because she became the mother of all living.

Now when we look at the scripture in context this proper translation makes perfect sense, because when Eve was created by taking the side out of Adam, her husband, she is simply called Ishah in Hebrew, meaning woman.

But, then the fall of mankind happens in chapter 3 when Adam and the woman rebel against Yahweh, in which He said if they ate of the fruit of the Tree of Life that they would die.

But, by Yahweh’s redemptive mercy in verse 15, we see the very first Messianic scripture, prophesying about a seed to be born to the woman, who will redeem mankind.

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He will bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.

And now, since the prophecy for redemption is to come from the woman, her husband calls her Chavah (Eve) which means life, because she will now become the mother of all mankind who will now not perish, but will be saved through this promised Seed.

The story continues in chapter 4 when Kain is born. As Scripture states, she (Chavah) has gotten a man Yahweh, as she thinks Kain is the promised seed, and the name Kain means to redeem, to purchase, to buy back. And then when his brother comes out, (they were twins) she names him Abel or in Hebrew Havel, which means vanity, or nothingness, as she already thought she gave birth to the Messiah, Kain.

This thought pattern of thinking the Messiah would be born at that time, went all the way until Noah was born, which means comfort, but of course we know the prophecy of Gen 3:15 was speaking of Yahshua defeating Satan.

Q): If we read in Isaiah 44:24~ it states Yahweh created by Himself and alone stretched out the heavens. Also, that Elohim did not speak through His Son till the last days. Why do some not agree with that verse and teach the Son spoke in the OT?

A): You are misinterpreting the English translation of a Hebrew scripture.

Isa 44:24 So says YAHWEH, your Redeemer and your Former from the womb; I am YAHWEH who makes all things; stretching out the heavens, Everything comes from me, even spreading out the earth. Who was with Me?

In the original Hebrew it is not stating that Yahweh was alone, as we know He had cherubs with Him, but it means that all life comes from Yahweh. And the second part of the verse is rhetorical asking who was with Him? And the answer is given in Isaiah.

Isa 49:1 Hear Me, coastlands, and you people from afar, and prick up your ear, YAHWEH called Me from the womb; He mentioned My name from My mother’s belly.

Isa 49:6 And He said, It is too little that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You, my Y’shua*, to be for a light of the nations, to the end of the earth.

And look what Yahweh’s servant states about Creation:

Isa 48:15 I, I have spoken; yea, I have called him, I brought him, and he causes his way to prosper.

Isa 48:16 Come near to Me; hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning. From its existence, I was there; and now Adonai YAHWEH, and His Spirit, has sent Me.

Yahshua, the servant of Yahweh clearly states He was there from the beginning of Creation, and it also states this in John the first chapter.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.

John 1:2 He was in the beginning with Elohim.

John 1:3 Everything existed through His hands, and without Him, not even one thing existed of the things, which have existed.

This also confirms Genesis the first chapter where Elohim creates the heavens and the earth, and Elohim is in the plural denoting more than one being. This is confirmed in verse 26 when it states about the creation of man:

Gen 1:26 And Elohim said, let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all the creepers creeping on the earth.

Again this creation is in the plural. Yahweh is a family name consisting of Yah Yahweh the Father and Yahshua Yahweh the Son. Six times in the New Testament Yahshua is called Yahshua Yahweh, and 68 times in the Old Testament Yahweh is called Yah Yahweh.

Here is one example of Yahshua Yahweh in the Old Testament.

Gen 18:1 And YAHWEH visually appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he was sitting at the door of the tent in the heat of the day.

Gen 18:2 And he lifted up his eyes and looked; and, behold, three men were standing by him. And he saw, and he ran to meet them from the entrance of the tent. And he bowed to the ground.

Gen 18:3 And he said, YAHWEH, if now I have found favor in Your sight, I beg You, do not leave from near Your servant.

Clearly, Abraham did not see Yahweh the Father in these verses, as no man has seen Yahweh the Father, but he saw a man whom He called Yahweh. And this Yahweh states in chapter 19:24.

Gen 19:24 And YAHWEH (on earth) rained fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah, from YAHWEH out of the heavens.

So, the Yahweh who was with Abraham in chapter 18, was now raining fire and brimstone from Yahweh out of the heavens. Clearly showing two Yahweh’s, Yahweh the Father, and Yahweh the Son.

There are many many more references like this in both the Old Testament and the New Testament showing Yahshua pre-existed and is eternal like His Father.

John 17:5 And now Father, glorify Me with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the existence of the world.
