Some Naked Facts About Man #1

AROM

"That word 'Naked' sure conjures up some strange thoughts and feelings.

It's almost a gooey sound, like in 'ooooooh, he's nekked'.

And then you shiver at the thought".

Does God shiver at the thought? Or is He cool with it?

One of the first things you find out about man in the book of Genesis is that he is naked. Gen. 2:25. That's right, he and his wife, Eve, were naked as newborn babes. And what is really amazing is that they were not ashamed! Why? God created them that way, that's why! There is no other reason.

For a while, Adam was alone, and naked. He was given a job to do by God. That was to keep the Garden of Eden. He was a gardener by trade. He was also told to name all of the animals. So it could have taken Adam several days if not weeks or even months to do all of this. The whole time, naked. Eventually, he found himself lonely. Needing what he saw what other animals had...a Mate. So God created Eve.

Eve was naked too.

The first nude wedding took place.

Now God taught Eve, but He also gave Adam the responsibility to teach Eve as well. That may have taken a while too. Adam had a new friend and wanted to show off Gods wonderful creation. Wow! What a honeymoon! That too may have taken a long time. The people of those times usually took a very long honeymoon, averaging about a year. They were naked and were not ashamed. If you would read carefully, you would note that the time from Eve's creation to Satan's deception, there was no time frame mentioned. They could have been in the Garden for months for all we know. They were happily living out their lives nude until sin. That is when they became ashamed and fearful of what God created. Not while they were originally walking and talking with God.

The word 'naked' in Strong's Concordance (reference #6174) came from the Hebrew word 'Arom'. I have no idea how to pronounce it. But it does mean naked, nude. Nothing more or less is implied.

That very same word appears when King Saul prophesied in the nude as well. In fact, that behavior provoked the people to believe he was one of the prophets too! Speaking of which, another prophet also prophesied in the nude as well.
