After this, Jesus left Nazareth and went and lived in the area of Capernaum, near the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. This, too, was in accordance with God's instructions, spoken through the prophet Isaiah.

One Sabbath day when Jesus went into the synagogue, He turned to the book of the prophet Isaiah and read from it. Then He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and said to the people who were gathered in the synagogue,

The Scripture that He had read was from the first verse of Isaiah chapter 61:1.

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord has anointed Me to preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.

From this, we can see that God's word of warning, which was given long ago in the Garden of Eden, was definitely accomplished.

Adam, the forefather of the human race, accepted the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil from his wife, Eve, and ate it. Eve had been deceived by the serpent and had eaten this fruit, the fruit that God had said was not to be eaten. As a result, the eyes of both of them were opened and they lost the blessing that God had given them in the beginning.

God had said that on the day they ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they would surely die. Even though physically they were still alive, their spirits were in a dead state. In other words, the communication between God and man was broken off, and Adam became the forefather of men who were dead in trespasses and sin.

In order to give life to the pitiful spirits of men who would inherit this dead state and be born in trespasses and sin, God said that the descendant of the woman would appear and bruise the serpent on the head (See Genesis 3:15). God gave this as a warning to the serpent, the tempter.

These were the words that God spoke in the Garden of Eden to Adam, who had forgotten the commandment that he had been given and had eaten the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and to the serpent who had led him to eat the fruit.

At the time when God created the heavens and the earth, He was pleased with what had been accomplished on each day except the second day, when He made the firmament.

On the sixth and last day of the creation, when God created man, we even find that God said, "it was very good" (see Genesis 1:31).

On the second day, however, God did not express any joy at all. When we look into this matter, we find that it was because of Satan, who had become the prince of the power of the air. So it was that God had commanded Adam to tend the garden and to take care of it (See Genesis 2:15).

Thus from the time Adam left the garden paradise, man roamed in the darkness until at one point in the history of mankind, God gave His only begotten Son. This was Jesus Christ, born as the descendant of a woman, as God had said in the Garden of Eden.
