What happened immediately after Adam ate the fruit?
Immediately after Adam ate, the eyes of both were opened, and they knew they were naked. This was the immediate consequence of their disobedience, a dramatic change from Genesis 2:25, where they were naked and not ashamed; afterward, their nakedness drove them.
Les teaches that Genesis 3:7 records the immediate aftermath: Adam has eaten, and immediately everything takes place. The first proof is that the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. Les compares this with Genesis 2:25, where the man and his wife were naked and not ashamed—they could even walk in the presence of God in the cool of the day with no problem. He notes it was a warm tropical climate, so clothing was not needed for warmth. Before sin, some have imagined an ethereal euphoria that disappeared, but whatever it was, the key is the tremendous change: after disobedience, their nakedness drove them. Les emphasizes the contrast between their former state of no shame and the new awareness that followed.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
