TEXT: "And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died."-Genesis 5:5

God created man in his own image and likeness. He created them male and female, and he called their name Adam, in the day he created them, Genesis 5:1, 2. In Genesis 2:7, God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breath into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul, called Adam. The spiritual man was created in Genesis 1:27, while the natural man was formed in Genesis 2:7.

Adam is a type of Jesus Christ. Isaac the son of Abraham is also a type of Jesus Christ. And by implication, these three men are all types. And by definition, a type is a group of people or things that share particular qualities or features and are part of a larger group.

A body was prepared for the Son of God, Hebrews 10:5, and the body was conceived and delivered by Mary. And the body was called Jesus, Matthew 1:18-21. Also a body was prepared for the created man, Genesis 2:7, and the body was called Adam, Genesis 5:1, 2.

Jesus Christ, began his work of ministry at the age of thirty, Luke 3:23. Adam began his work in the garden at the age of thirty, Genesis 2:15.

Isaac the son of Abraham got married at the age of forty, Genesis 25:20. Adam was forty years old when God introduced the woman to him, as his wife, who was later called Eve, Genesis 2:21-25.

In summary, the life and time of Adam goes thus: Adam was formed as a little child. God nursed him until he was thirty years old. When he was thirty years old, God puts him in the garden, to dress and to keep it, Genesis 2:15. Adam worked for ten years before he got married.

When Adam was forty years old, God formed a help meet for him. Adam called this help meet a woman, who became his wife. She was also later called Eve. She would have given birth to her first born child, in the garden, when Adam was forty years old. But that did not happen because they disobeyed God, Genesis 3:6. And God drove them out of the garden, Genesis 3:24. However, the seed remained in the woman, Genesis 3:15, until the fullness of time, Galatians 4:4; Revelation 12:1-6.

Consequently, outside the garden, and in thirty years' time, when Adam was seventy years old, Eve gave birth to Cain, Genesis 4:1. Thirty years later, when Adam was one hundred years old, she gave birth to Cain's brother Abel, Genesis 4:2. And in another thirty years' time, when Adam was one hundred and thirty years old, Eve gave birth to Seth, Genesis 5:3. Adam and Eve also gave birth to sons and daughters. And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died, Genesis 5:5.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.
