Discernment

Genesis 2:16-17:

16: God commanded the man saying, “of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;
17: But the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat; for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

God See And Know All. After Adam and Eve disobey God’s command and ate from the forbidden fruit, their eyes were open to know good and evil (Genesis 3:22).
The first thing they notice was that they were naked.
The second thing they learn to saw leaves together and make an apron to cover their naking.
The third thing they learn to hide from the Lord: They were in the garden and heard the voice of the Lord walking the garden in the cool of the day and the Lord God call for Adam but Adam hides from God.
The fourth thing they learn is to fear the Lord God: God call him again and when he came forward to show himself to God he says to him, "when I heard your voice I was afraid and hides myself because I was naking."
And finally the fifth thing they learn to blame the problem to other. Adam blames his wife for eating from the forbidding tree and Eve blames the serpent (Genesis 3:1-13).

The scripture explain it in order, after both of them sin their eyes were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
For the first time they learn to feel ashamed of their naked and made aprons to cover themselves.
And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day; and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden [for the first time they learn to be afraid].
And the LORD God called to Adam, and said to him, Where are you, Adam?
And Adam said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and when I saw that I was naked, I hid myself.
For the first time they learn to hid.
The Lord God said to him, “Who told you that you were naking.
Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?”

Here God looks like he did not have any ideal what really happen and who told Adam that he was naking.
He look like he did not have any knowledge what happen in the Garden.
As you continue reading you will notice in the scripture that God questions them again.
The Lord God said to Adam, what happen?
Adam answer back and says to him, the woman you gave me, Eve gave me the forbidden fruit and I ate it.
Here is where Adam for the first time learn to blame other the fault.

Then God came to his wife to interrogate her to find out what really happen in the garden, he asks her the same question he asks Adam; Eves answer him and says, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.
She blames everything on the serpent.
God was looking for an answer like if he did not have any idea what went wrong in the garden.

Let see if the story of Cain and Abel explain it better why God think and speak like this to them, so like that we have a better understand of the whole picture of the story.

After Cain slew his brother Abel, the Lord God came to him and ask him, “where is your brother Abel?” (Genesis 4:9).

Here again the question, God has no clue where was his brother or what happen to him.
But as you read the story more you will realize that he knew all the time what happen to Abel and he has his own purpose to ask him the question.
Let find out why the Lord asks Cain that question.

The Lord said to Cain, “what have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground” (Genesis 4:10).

What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground.
Here shows that God knew all the time where his brother was.

The Lord knew what happen to his brother, but he wanted to give an opportunity to Cain to confess his sin.
What have you done? It is a question that we ask to our children when they have done something wrong.
Even thus we already know what our children did, in that moment when we ask them the question is to give them a chance to explain it and confess their wrong doing.
We know what our children have done the wrong thing, but we pretend not knowing what happen.
When we ask a question to our children is because we want to hear their excuses will be to justify their wrongdoing or at least we give them a chance to defend themselves.

That is exactly what God was doing here with Cain and also with Adam, he was given them a chance to confess their sin.
God saw in the heart of Cain the evil thing he has done with his brother Abel.
He knew all along from the very beginning that Cain slain his brother Abel, because God can see and discern the thoughts of the heart.

Moreover here in the story of Adam and Eve it looks like in the beginning God did not saw from heaven the serpent coming to Eve and beguile her in eating the forbidding fruit and that she gave to her husband and after her husband ate with her, both of their eyes were open to know good and evil.

But the truth of the matter is that God knew what happen in the Garden of Eden "after" they ate the forbidding fruit, he discern it in their heart.
God knew all along that Adam and Eve disobey his commands because he discern their thought and the intention of their heart.

The same way with Cain, God knew in the beginning what Cain did to his brother because he saw in his heart what he did; his heart became an open book for the Lord to discern the thought and the intention of the heart.

When God asks man a question is because he expect man to confess his fault and honestly answer it.
God trusted Adam and Eve with the trees of the knowledge of good and evil and there was no reason whatsoever not to trust them.
There were no sin in the garden neither did they knew how to do evil.
Adam and Eve dwell in the garden peacefully with no problem whatsoever until the serpent came along and change everything.

The serpent use cleverness to get an answer from Eve.
The serpent asks Eve, “Truly has God said that you shall not eat of any tree of the garden?”
She answer, “we may eat of the fruit of all the trees of the garden; but the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, you shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.”

The serpent got her, he has the answer he was looking for for him to deceive her.
This is his chance to tempt her, deceive her, and separate her from the Lord God.

The serpent said to her, “you shall not surely die; For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be like gods, knowing good and evil.”

The serpent introduces to her a new door of evil, a world she never knew, a world of lust, temptation, disobedience and many sins that separation man from God.

When she saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and that the tree was delightful to look at (the enemy show her how to lust for those things that are good, pleasant and delightful to look at), she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and she gave to her husband with her; and he did eat.
Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked.

Both Adam and Eve now have the knowledge of Good and Evil and according to the scripture Genesis 3:22, the Lord said, “behold, the man has become like one of us, to know good and evil.”

After Adam and Eve ate the forbidding fruit, their eyes were open, in another word, a new book were open for God to discern the heart and see what they have done in the garden.

Here are scriptures that will testify that God sees everything you do in this life because your heart is an open book for him to see it:

Another example is in the story of Jesus Christ with Judah and Peter.
Jesus knew that Judah the traitor was going to be betray him before he actually do what he did and with thirty pieces of silver he betray the Lord with a kiss on his cheek.

Jesus knew that Peter was going to deny him three times before the cockcrows and later it did happen.

Jesus knew the heart of the woman in the well.
She had five husbands and the one she has now is not her husband.

Jesus knew that there was a coin in the fish mouth before peter caught it.

Jesus knew before it happens that Jerusalem will be surrounding and destroyed by the Roman soldiers, and after his death, his prediction came to pass in the year 70 AD (Matthew 17:27; John 4:18; 13:36-38; 6:70-71; Luke 21:1-37).

All these scripture and verses above show us that the Lord Almighty can see into our heart and knows thing before or after it happen.
He searches the minds of the hearts of men to see what man has sowed inside the heart.

After Adam sins, he became like God, he gain the knowledge of good and evil, and that is where it all starting, for the first time the book of the heart of Adam was open for the Lord to see his intention and discern his mind before he does anything.

You may ask, “Then why God allow man to do evil?”

There is a reason why allow them; God gave men his law for men to choose which direction he wants to go.
God never intervene with man decision.
The scripture says, For man was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who gave him free will in the hope he would choose rightly [Roman 8:20].

After Adam sins, sin reign for many generations because there was no law to condemn it, sin reign from Adam to Moses.
Sin reign until God’s law came and condemn sin.
God gave man a free will to choose the direction he wants to walk after.
If man chooses the right way God reward him with blessing and eternal life, but if man chooses evil then God will reward him with curses and death and after death everlasting destruction.

Again the bible says that God gave men his law to choose life or death; blessing or cursing.
Man has two path and he has to select a path.
If man chooses life and blessing then both man and his family will live.
In the scripture God says to the people of Israel, "I call heaven and earth to bear witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessings and cursings; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; (Deuteronomy 30:19)..

But if man chooses the evils path, then man surely shall die.

You may ask again why God allow this to happen?
Again God gave man a free will to choose his path and he doesn't intervene with man decision before or after making it.
God wants man to love him freely and voluntary without being force or being control to do so.
Man is not a robot, but man is a living soul who was made in the image of God and who has gain the knowledge of Good and Evil and he can choose whether he wants to do good or to do evil.

Man is responsible for choosing and making the wrong decision, for doing evil.
After man has done evil then man brings forth sins, and when sins has matured (his evil ways has become impossible for him to control it, then evil and him will become one unto death), it brings forth death and condemn him for all eternity (James 1:14,15).

The condemnation for wicked men who does not want to stop sinning and repent is death and after death, eternal destruction.
God sees the evil that man does from the very beginning to the end; God sees and know what man is doing before and after he has done it.
He sit on his throne and he reward man according to his work.

When God looks into your heart God wants to see your submission toward him and that you are obeying his commandments, doing his will then your reward will be great, he will welcome you into his kingdom where there is eternal life.

God select those who love him, those who are obedient to his voice, for they are worthy to enter into his Kingdom.
That is how he sees and knows and judges his people.

Since the time that Adam sin until this present time, man's heart has become an open book for God to see his intention and the thought of the heart before or after it happen.
Everything you do or did or about to do in the future it is written in the book of your heart, for you had thought of it first, and then it is written in your heart, and once it is written in the heart, now the Lord God can see it your good or bad intentions in the book of your heart and base on your action he will judges your deeds.

Now does God correct and discipline man?
Yes he does, God does correct and discipline man, but you’ve to understand that God's correction is for our good, for our grow in the Lord.
God will not force man to do something he doesn’t want to do.
God's Spirit will repute, exhort and comfort you.
The Spirit of God will guide you to the true and will let you know when something is wrong but he does not force you to do something you don't want to do.
God can’t break his own law; if God would force man to do his will then God would not need us to preach the gospel because he will force man to submit to his will anyway.
No sir, God does not force anyone neither does things like this to people.
God is a gentleman, and he prefers that man seek him and love him voluntarily with all his heart.
Man must be able and willing to obey God's word and if man listen to God and obeys him is because he love him with all his heart.
Man can choose life and blessing or death and cursing, it is up to man to choose the direction he wants to go (Deuteronomy 30:19).

God does corrects man because the bibles says, "whom God love he correct" [Hebrews 12:6].

He also said, I rebuke and chastise all those whom I love; be zealous, therefore, and repent [Revelation 3:19].

In the book of Proverbs 3:12 God said, For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
But he will never force any man to do his will.

If you don't do his will neither obey his commandment, and even though God does not force any man to serve him; if you don't obey him then when the evil days comes and fall on you and on your children and on your family, you can not blame your ruin on God.
If you don't obey his law God will not be able to help you neither can he be by your side nor can he be on your side.
God will not help you in the time of need neither protect you from danger nor save you from death because God will not violet his own law.

People who disobey God's law and sin are curse and condemned to death.
God correct, but once man refuse to listen to him and he doesn't want to correct himself and he reject the true then after his evil has consumed and matured judgment of death will follow him.
God will judge him with everlasting destruction.

As long men stay inside the circle line of life man will not be harmed and destroyed, but once men cross over the circle line of life man will surely receive the penalty of death.

Before sins mature and bring forth death, man has the right to come back to the throne of God to ask God for forgiveness of sin.
If you look in the Old Testament you will find chapters and verses where God tell his people his judgment is a day of sorrow, mourning, sickness, plagues, poverty, pain, and death, it is a day of wrath and destruction to the people (Deuteronomy 28:15-68).

God from heaven can sees man’s heart and according to his deeds he shall reward him.
For whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7).

Judgment wills comes to those who are disobedient.
But those who hear his word and believe in Jesus Christ and love his brother and obey God saying, the bible says they do not come before judgment, but they have passed from death to life (John 5:24).

Let return at the beginning and go over what we have learned.
We have learn that God question people for a purpose and that purpose is for them to confess their sin and for them to answer the question honestly and truthfully.
And man after eating the forbidding fruit he gain knowledge of good and evil. Since Adam and up to now, man has become like God, to know good and evil” (Genesis 3:22).
God gave man his law and God expects man to make the right decision, it is up to man to choose which direction he wants to go.
Now lets see if God did saw all of this coming before Adam and Eve ate the forbidding fruit.


Did God Saw It Coming

To begin, before Adam and Eve ate the forbidding fruit and before their eyes were open, for sure God did not saw what they were about to do.
We know that God saw what happen in the garden after they ate the forbidding fruit and after their eyes were open.
But before Eve was deceived and ate the fruit, and before Adam ate of the fruit too, God did not know neither had any ideal that this things was about to take place in the garden.
But when they sin right away, at that moment God saw in their heart everything they have done in the garden.

God did not saw before hands, Eve being deceive by the serpent and Adam disobeying his commands, because there were no way to know how this thing was going to happen in the Garden.
Why I am saying this, because the scripture says so, lets look back in the scripture and see the whole picture of all events.

First of all we have to understand that in the garden of Eden there man was made good, their hearts didn't knew the meaning of evil.
Adam and Eve live in the Garden peacefully and no evil rule in the garden until the serpent came along and change everything.

Before sin enter into the world, Adam and Eve did only good and their books of the heart was clear as a crystal, there were no ink of sin written in their hearts.
God could not see in advance anything because there were nothing to see, they were transparent, clear as a crystal.

God saw in their heart "GOOD", for God made them that way good.
After they sin, their heart were stain with the ink of evil.
From that time forward Eve and Adam's books have two chapters "good" and "evil."
Now God can see their good and evil intention.
But before sin came and reign, God could not see nothing wrong with them therefore there were no way for God to know what Adam and Eve will do next.

Someone would probably stand up and says, “Waits a minute! You have said a few minutes ago that God can see and know all things before it happen and how come now you said he could not see neither know what Adam and Eve were going to do before he does it?”

Yes, I did say that God can see and know all thing before and after you have done it.
Remember I have said, after Adam and Eve sins their books of the heart open another chapter and that chapter is called evil.
This evil chapter did not exist in the book of their heart before, but after they sin it came to live.
From that time forward man had two chapters that can be seen by God.
But before Adam and Eve sin, they only have one chapter called, good.
In the beginning God only saw in them only good, this why he couldn't see what they were going to do next because there was no second chapter and without that second chapter Adam and Eve is innocent and clear as a crystal.

In the garden evil did not exist, nor reign evil, nor there were stain of sin; for everything in the garden of Eden was created for good.
Again Adam and Eve did not knew what evil was and how to do evil nor how to think evil, Adam and Eve were pure, more whiter than snow.
They were innocent living Souls.

You may ask, “How could that be possible?”
Because God made man a living soul in his imagine and in his likeness and they were made without sin and without any knowledge of evil.
In the garden Adam and Eve did not obtain neither possess the knowledge of evil neither did they have any idea how to do evil.
But after Eve was deceive and she ate the forbidding fruit and gave to her husband who also ate of the forbidding fruit, after they ate the forbidding fruit both of their eyes were open to know good and evil.
From that day forward Adam and Eve learn to look, desire and do evil.
Eve learned to cover and lust after things.
She saw that the tree was good for food, and pleasant to the eyes, and delightful to look at.
They learn that they were naking.
They learn to hid from God
They learn to accuse and blame the problems each other.
They learn to fear the Lord.
They learn to disobey God.

Adam said to God, he heard his voice and when he saw that he was naking he hid himself.
God said to him, who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?
Here show man did not knew the difference between being naking and being cloth, they did not even knew that they were naking at first, not until they have eaten the forbidding fruit and their eyes were open to understand it and be ashamed of their nakedness.
They did not know that they were naking because there was one chapter book to see, good, but unfortunately, Adam and Eve mess it up and added another chapter in their heart and now they have knowledge of Good and Evil.

Here God make it looks like he did not have any idea what they have done.
Adam excuse was his wife Eve, she was the one who gave him to eat the fruit of the tree, and God said to Eve, what is this that you have done?

God was looking for an good answer from both Adam and Eve.
God is still pretended to looks like he did not have any idea what she has done.
God saw the serpent in the garden trying to deceiving Eve, but he did not know Eve will disobey his commands and eat the forbidding fruit, for sure he did not have any ideal what she will do next, because Eve's heart was still pure and clear as a crystal (Genesis 3:1-14).

But after she ate the forbidding fruit God knew what Eve did in the Garden
It was after she look at the tree and ate of it, that God was able to see for the first time Eve and her husband Adam disobey his commands.
I repeat again God did not saw in advance in the heart of Eve and Adam eating the forbidding fruit, for there was no way to know and see it before they ate the fruit, because everything he had created in the garden was made good, and man's thoughts of the heart was only good.

To says, God knew in advance that they were going to sin, is to says God is responsible of man's sin and down fall of man, and if that is the case then God should be accounting for their sins and not man, because man were innocent souls, they did not knew what they were doing not until their eyes were open to know what they have done was evil.

Adam and Eve gain the knowledge of good and evil after they have eaten the forbidding fruit.
Adam and Eve from that time forward were able to do "Good and Evil."
If you disagree with me and you said. yes, God did know this will happen, then you are telling me God is responsible of the man fall.
No brother, Adam and Eve did not have any knowledge of evil, nor did they knew the meaning of sin, unless you are saying it was God plan from the very beginning to happen that way?
And if that is the case then how can man be found guilty, whom mind and heart was like a little innocent child created for good.
How can Adam before he sins, knew the knowledge of evil when he is made good, to do good?
How can he practice evil without having the knowledge of evil?
The knowledge of evil he gain it after he ate the forbidding fruit.

But I insist saying, how can God knows what will happen next if Adam and Eve didn't possess the knowledge of evil?
How can God know before time Adam will disobey his commands, and how you put evil in someone who is made good and never existed in their heart?
In another word, before the Serpent came to the Garden to deceive her, how did God knew before hand that Eve will sin, when she did not have the knowledge of evil?
No brothers, I don't think so, God couldn't know before the Serpent arrive in the Garden of Eden that Adam will be responsible of man fall.

A new chapter were open "knowledge of evil", from that time forward the Lord God can discern the evil intention of man's heart, he actually can see now what evil deed man is about to do next.
Adam and Eve have open a new door of another world, a carnal world which draw every man to die in sin.
God who use to discern only good thoughts in Adam and Eve's heart, now he is discerning evil thoughts too, since the fall of man, all people can't hid nor escape from God.

Genesis 3:7: the scripture mention that before Eve and Adam ate the forbidden fruits their eyes were close to the knowledge of evil.
But after they ate the fruit, their eyes were open, they gain knowledge how to sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons to cover their nakedness.”

If God would have know that later on man whom he has created every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was evil continually provoked God to feel sorry that he had made man on the earth and grieved him in his heart, he would have avoid making man or he would have not created him.

How I know this because in Genesis 6:1-6 the scripture says, “the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was evil continually.
And the Lord was "sorry" or "regret" (according to Tanakh bible) that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.”
Genesis 6:7 explain that man's sin cause God to execute justice against them and against all living creature to destroy all of them from the face of the earth with flood.

This is why Adam is responsible that sins reign and have dominion over us.
But thanks be to God that he has sent his only begotten son that whosoever believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
Man in Christ Jesus has pass from death to life, and we are no longer under the law but under grace.

Every believers have authority to capture every thought to the obedience of Christ.
To transformed their mind to the mind of Christ by the renewing of the spirit of the mind.
Man can mind on true, just, pure, honest, love, good report, and everything that is virtue and give praise to God.
Men are to sow things of the Spirit and walk after the Spirit and from the Spirit reap life everlasting.
If man can transformed their mind to Christ's mind, then man can also present his body a living sacrifice holy and acceptable unto God, and grow up spiritual strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

Some people argue that God did know man was going to sin because in the book of 1 Peter 1:18-20, it said, "Knowing that you have not been redeemed from your empty works which you have received from your fathers, by corruptible silver and gold, But with the precious blood of the Lamb without blemish and without spot which is Christ, Who verily was foreordained for this very purpose before the foundation of the world, and was manifest in these last times for your sakes."

Now if we read this we will think well God knew that man was going to sin and for this reason God prepare his Son Jesus Christ before the foundation of the world to redeem us with his precious blood, right?.

But that is not what it says, but God foreordained his Son before the foundation of the world to be life and light and this life and light came to the world, and manifested himself to the world to be life and the light of the world.

1 Peter 1:18-20, does not said God knew that man will sin before he created him, no brother it does not said that.
The bible is saying, "who very was foreordained for this very purpose before the foundation of the world," (before the foundation of the world Jesus was decreed or appointed to be life and light of the world, a redeemer) and he was manifest in these last times for your sakes, but it does not mean God know before Adam's sin, he was going to disobey his commands, no at all brother, but was decreed by God that Jesus be life and light, a redeemer before the foundation of the world.

Lets read the book of Ephesians 1:4 it says, "Just as from the beginning he has chosen us through him before the foundation of the world, that we may become holy and without blemish before him."

God from the beginning before the foundation of the world [before he created everything], he chose us [Adam and Eve and all generation] through Jesus Christ, to be pure in heart just like Adam and Eve was created pure in heart in the beginning, but not necessary mean God knew man was going to sins in the beginning and later the world will need Jesus to make them again pure in heart, I don't think so.

For this verse will contradicted Genesis 6:5-7 which said, man has become wicked in the earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was evil continually; and the Lord was sorry that he had made man on the earth and it grieved him in his heart; so the Lord said, he will destroy men whom he has created from the face of the earth ... for he is sorry that he have made them.

How can God in the beginning before the foundation of the world knew man was going to sin, when we look in the book of Genesis chapter 6:5-7 and we read these verses and it speak the opposite.
Did not God know that every imagination of the thoughts of the heart of man will be evil continually before Adam sins? You might said he did knew
Then why was he sorry and grieved in his heart to made man and now he wants to destroy him, if he knew from the beginning before the foundation of the world that man will sin and be wicked anyway?
You see how foolish it is to says, God knew Adam and Eve was going to sin before they look. touch and ate the forbidding fruit, no my brother, God did not knew Adam and Eve was going to sin but after the ate the fruit God saw for the first time in their heart a new door of sin and they could not hid from God.

The first man Adam and all creatures has life through him, and everything God has created he called it, good.
You have to understand Jesus is the life who gave life to all living creature of the world.
God foreordained Jesus to give life to man before the foundation of the world for life is holy and without blemish, pure without any spot and without any stain before God.
To understand the saying of Paul and Peter we have to back it up with other scriptures because scripture with scripture connect and agree and will not contradict for the scripture reveal the truth and it is the record of the word of God.

Just in case you still don't understand, Jesus in the beginning was with God and before God created the heaven and the earth, he was the word of God.
Before the foundation of the world Jesus Christ [Wisdom] was brought forth as light and life of the world, a redeemer, and through Christ Jesus every creatures and every man on earth exist, move and live and without him nothing that was made would have been made,
Jesus was the redeemer who give life to every man and he light up man's heart, Jesus Christ was the light of life before the foundation of the world and when Adam and Eve was created Jesus was their light of life and when Jesus took flesh and was born he became to all who believe and obey his word the light of life.

Another Scripture to search is in Luke 11:49-50.

Luke 11:49-50, it says, "Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. "

"Shed from the foundation of the world", here is referring from the time man was created until now all the prophet that was killed and their blood was shed on the temple will be required of this generation.
This statement of Jesus has nothing to do with God knowing that Adam and Eve will sins after he created them.
In Matthew 23:29-39 Jesus says, "from the blood of the "righteous Abel" unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias shed upon the earth.
Jesus call Abel a "righteous" man but not a prophet.
Jesus was just saying to the Scribes and Pharisees that he is going to have them and the generation of that day be accountable for all the Prophet blood shed on the ground started from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias.
Jesus' blood neither John the Baptist blood nor any of the prophet after him the Scribe and the Pharisees is not accountable.

Now no where in the Old and in the New Testament does it mention that Abel is a Prophet, it was Jesus who called Abel a righteous man (Matthew 23:29-39).

We know that Enoch the seventh from Adam was a prophet too for he prophesy: "Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him" (Jude 1:14,15).

In those time Prophet was anointing by God to prophesy to his people.
We know through the bible that Enoch the seventh from Adam was taken to heaven and he did not die a physical death neither was his blood shed on the ground.

Abraham is another man who was a prophet and he die an old age and his blood was not shed on the ground either.

How I know Abraham was a prophet because in Genesis 20:7 it says after the Egyptian took Abraham's wife thinking that she was only his sister and not his wife, The Lord spoke to the Egytian saying to restore Abraham his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live.

As we study all scriptures we can not come at least with a prophets whom blood was shed on the temple from the foundation of the world.

The prophets that existed in those time many of them die an old age and other a natural cause like Moses, Samuel and Elisha.
There were other that the bible does not give any information how they actually die.
At least 34 prophets are mentioned by name in the Bible, there is no record of their deaths, so there is no scriptural indication how they died.

In those days, false prophets like, Ahab and Zedekiah were put to death, roasted to death by King Nebuchadnezzar (Jeremiah 29:21).
These false prophet were not killed by their own people, neither were they people of God (Jeremiah 29:21).

We need to find the deaths of "true" prophets, not false one .
But unfortunately, there is insufficient information that the Jews did killed their own prophets by shedding their blood on the temple, or perhaps we can said, in Jesus' time there was evidence of prophets who was killed by their own people, we just don't know.
The only prophet that was killed by his own people was Urijah, who was caught and killed by King Jehoiakim himself and there is no record of shedding his blood on the temple (Jeremiah 26:20-23).

John the Baptist was killed, but not by his own people, but by Herodias, the wife and former sister-in-law of Herod, who she was offended by the word of John the Baptist; she was not a Jew but an Edomite.
In the Old Testament we have only the killing of prophets by a king, and no approval indictment in 2 Kings 19.

When Jesus said to the scribes and Pharisees that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed "from the foundation of the world", may be required of this generation; Jesus was speaking about those prophet who blood was shed from the foundation of the world to Zacharias.
Perhaps Jesus was probably saying all the prophet that have died will be required of this generation.

The blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world Jesus refers it form Abel the righteous to Zechariah the prophet.

Before the flood we understand that there were no record of any prophets blood shed on the ground by their own people except Abel who was killed by his own brother Cain and yet Jesus called Abel a prophet and a righteous man.

May God forgive me if I am wrong about this but up to now I have found no scriptures evidence that proof of any blood shed of the prophets (true prophets) by their own people after the flood, and if there any proof of blood shed of the prophets by their own people then it is hidden to me.

Perhaps Jesus was saying, all the prophets and all the righteous man beginning from Abel to Zechariah who die by the hands of man, the Jews will be accountable for it; if this is what Jesus said, then it is clearly and understood.

Now taking this into account we can come to 1 Peter 1:19-20 it says, "Who verily was foreordained for this very purpose before the foundation of the world, and was manifest in these last times for your sakes."

Therefore, God foreordained Jesus to be light of life before he made the world.
After he created Adam and Eve he became to them the light of life.
After the flood Jesus was the light of life to Noah and his family.
Jesus was also the light of life to the nation of Israel under Moses.
When Jesus appear to his people he was the light of life to them but they rejected him.
And now to everyone who believers and obey Jesus Christ's word, he is to them the light of life.
Jesus Christ is eternal life that lighten the world.
Jesus was brought forth by God and was born of a woman as a light of life, a redeemer to all Souls.

1 Peter 1:19-20 has nothing to do God knowing before he created the heaven and the earth, Adam will sin, no brother.

Lets continue, after Adam and Eve's eyes was open to know good and evil, they became like God knowing Good and Evil and God said, "lest man put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever; therefore God sent man forth from the garden of Eden, to til the ground from whence man was taken.
So the Lord God drove out the man; and God placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the path to the tree of life."

God secure the path to the tree of life from man because man has become like one of them; but before man's eyes was open God did not have to secure the path to the tree of life because man was not a threat and could be trusted in the garden of Eden, but now God does not want to take any chances with man with the tree of life.

Therefore there was no way for God to discern or to see the fall of man before it happen, and that their children's children will do wicked continually, for God creation was created good, but our enemy the devil change all that.
