There are many embedded
similarities in this stories, for one God created Adam to be his direct
representative on the earth, Adam was and continue to be less than his creator
in every aspect. Adam who is God’s appointed custodian of the earth had the
privilege of naming the man. God also though the man everything he should know
about the earth and the kingdoms of the earth he was to govern. Which was
basically the Animal Kingdom and the plant Kingdom.
The deal was man was to take the
pattern that Yahweh had use, with him and replicate it with the
woman. Man was not a God so he could not create and therefore could not create a woman as Yahweh had created the man. So Yahweh did the next best thing, he created a woman from the extract of a rib from Adam. Every aspect of the man was found on this rib, Bone, flesh, blood etc. and in the same way God named the man, he brought the creature he created from the rib of the man, which was a more delicate version of the man to the man to be named and in the same way Yahweh took the time to developed a relationship with the man, the man were to follow the same pattern and develop a relationship with the woman. Teaching her everything she should know about herself (as God have taught Adam all things), Adam, Yahweh (Her creator) and the Kingdoms of the earth namely the plant and the Animal kingdoms.

It was the woman’s duty to bear,
carry and give birth to little men and women (children) after the birth
together with the man, the woman was to in turn develop a relationship with the
children as God took the time to develop a relationship with the man and the
man with the woman. It was to be an ever continuing cycle of relationship
building, which involved the passing down of the knowledge of each other, the
knowledge of Yahweh, the knowledge of Earth’s kingdoms and how to care for
them.
So while man had a responsibility
to reflect and represented God to the earth; the woman had a
duty
to reflect and represent the man to his children and the children had a duty to
reflect and represent the woman (their mother). All in all the earth was to be
a total and permanent of example of the reflection of God in every creature
especially his crowning act of creation Human. So the true role of the woman is
to reflect and represent her husband to her kids, her community and the world.
There is no other greater honor to have been achieved.
Today, the deceiver has deceived Yahweh crowning acts of creation: the human family into thinking that they can and will be more important
on their own. Here we have the man trying to reflect and represent him-self yet he expects his wife to reflect and represent him. And in like manner the woman trying to reflect and represent herself but she expect her children to reflect and represent her and the children trying to do the same and the end result is chaos, dissatisfaction, unfulfilled life, discontentment. No one is happy but everyone is on a never ending quest to become fulfilled and it is an elusive fate.
