Central Theme of the Holy Scriptures – Marketing
We'll continue with our exploration of the central theme of the Holy Scriptures. In this episode, we're focusing on why Adam and Hawa did it.
And this one is very simple, but it shows how deeply confused people are about what took place in the Garden of Eden, so it comes in a form of a question, and it goes like this.: “Why did God put that evil tree in the garden; obviously, he knew that they would eat from it?
I have said that the two trees were symbols. Symbols are owned by those who create them. The purpose of a symbol may be announced by the creator. He alone knows its secrets until observable results show in a community of believers. Promoting a symbol is done by the owner and the use of it by believers reveals the truth behind it.
I want you to keep that in mind, and when we start the book of Daniel, it should become very clear to you.
Adam and his wife had been crowned king and queen over the domain. In Hebrew ritual symbolism, still practiced in West Africa, a kingdom is planted like a tree. Again, in Hebrew culture, the symbol is as real as the object or the product it represents, so we know that Adam and Hawa were not shown representations of two trees. They were looking at actual two trees in their backyard as the God of heaven explained the effect that both trees with generate, in the event that one became the favored option of the couple. The symbol is real because you expect whatever ritual you use it for to produce real results.
Let me give you a typical example that would explain this better. Let's take the symbol of the product called Starbucks. Starbucks symbol is real. It was created long before the product itself filled any container.
The business entity that created the symbol also owns the product. The marketing of the symbol began long before people began to taste the product itself. Pay attention!
The business entity that created the symbol, which owns the product itself had a duty to display the symbol in front of people everywhere. They needed to create awareness, to make people fall in love with the symbol. Once they do, they will be attracted to the product that will follow.
So, the process of displaying the symbol in public in order to get potential consumers to fall in love with the product is an ancient ritual that modern man has labeled as branding or marketing. As long as that symbol is displayed in front of you persistently, over time, you will fall in love with the symbol and you will consume the product or use the service that is connected to the symbol.
Here's the truth with regard to what happened in the Garden of Eden. Until it was promoted or projected by the serpent, our first parents had no taste for the fruits of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They did not like it. They did not believe it contained some special, healthy nutrients. They avoided it at all costs because they thought it would terminate human life. They believed it would kill them.
They were not starving for lack of access to that tree. In fact, they were flourishing before they ever touched the fruit of that tree. They did not need anything from it.
But you know what? When the serpent made time to project the tree and its supposed benefits to the man and his wife. They fell in love with a tree and the fruit thereof.
Let's read it together, Genesis chapter 3, verse 6, "and when the woman saw that the tree was good for food. And that it was pleasant to the eyes. A tree to be desired to make one wise. She took of the fruit thereof and did eat and gave also onto her husband with her, and he did eat".
The tree sat in the backyard of Adam and his wife all the time. Yet the magic of advertising made it seem to Hawa as if she was seeing it for the first time. She forgot that somebody had warned her the tree was going to kill her. Such is the power of advertising.
If you have access to fruit from a tree of life, why would you choose a deadly diet instead? But isn't that exactly what advertising does to men and women every day? How it shapes the things in their lives? How it informs their choices, how it decides their savings, their income, and how long they live?
I just want you to know, that the industry has a long history. It took place as far back as the time our 1st parents lived in Eden.
