This hiding from God is kind of like the hiding in the clefts of the rocks which those who are 'ashamed' do when Christ returns on the Second Advent isn't it? (See…)

 

 Rev.6:16: And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

 

Isaiah 2 Read all: 1 Isaiah prophesieth the coming of Christ’s Kingdom. 6 Wickedness is the cause of God’s forsaking. 10 He exhorteth to fear, because of the powerful effects of God’s majesty. 

 

Obadiah 1: 3: The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwelleth in the clefts of the rock, who’s habitation is high: that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

 

Micah 7:17: They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee.

 

In Jesus Christ there is no shame. God is our Rock and Salvation.
     Notice how Adam is kind of trying to put this sin off on the woman. He partook also along with Eve.

 

Gen 3:13   And the LORD God said unto the woman, "What is this that thou hast done?" And the woman said, "The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."
14    And the LORD God said unto the serpent, "Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

     This cursing of 'upon thy belly' is a figure of speech, it shows how low Satan is in God’s estimation of him.

 

Ps.44:25: For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

 

Ps. 72:9: They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him; and his enemies shall lick the dust.

 

Isaiah 29:4: And though shalt be brought down, and shalt speak out of the ground, and thy speech shall be low out of the dust, and thy voice shall be, as of one that hath a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and thy speech shall whisper out of the dust.

 

 Remember, this is not a literal snake, but it is Satan who God is talking to.

Gen 3:15   And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her Seed; It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel."

 This is a very important verse. Don't miss the capitals in this verse either. This is the first prophecy given by God dealing with the 'Seed' of the 'woman', meaning the bloodline chosen 'Seed' which would come from this 'eth Ha'adham' (the man Adam) and his wife Eve, which is also the 'Seed' from which Christ would be born from.

Satan knew that Christ would come from this 'Seed' and he tried to destroy it, here, and all throughout God's Word. The prophecy here is that 'thy seed' in this verse, which is the 'seed of the serpent', i.e., Satan, would 'bruise' the 'heel' of Christ on the cross, and Christ would bruise the serpent's 'head' with the brightness of Christ's second coming.
