What event does all Scripture point back to as the vortex of the human problem?
All Scripture points back to the fall of Adam in Genesis chapter 3, when Eve partook and then Adam. That rebellion brought the curse upon everything—animate and inanimate—subjecting creation to vanity. It is the vortex of the human problem, and immediately God promised a remedy.
Les explains that Genesis 3 records where Eve partook, and then Adam, and this is the event that all of Scripture points back to as the vortex of the human problem—the fall of Adam. The moment Adam sinned, the curse fell, and everything came under its awful effect: inanimate, animate, the birds, the fish, everything. The creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of Him who subjected the same in hope. The curse explains great desert areas like the Sahara and the planet’s condition, all resulting from Adam’s rebellion. Yet as soon as the curse fell, God came back with a remedy and made a promise in Genesis chapter 3, verse 15.
