Eve desire (sin nature) was not towards her husband In this verse thus God commanded her to do so after the fall. While his brother Abel has had his offering accepted by God. Cain is furious; his whole countenance has changed. Jealousy and murder are rising up in his heart. The Lord comes to Cain and gives him a rebuke, a kind warning. He says, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Your sinful desire (sin nature) is looking to rule you, but you must rule over it.” Here is that same word—desire. Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee. An obedient wife would follow Sarah example of calling her husband Abraham Lord (ruler) In which she controlled her (sin nature) desire, as God commanded the wife. In (Gen. 3:16).(I Peter 3:6) Think about a snake here, a serpent like the devil. The moment that door open with Eve in (Gen 3:5) and like a lion hiding by a door. She open the door, and there it is, coiled and ready to pounce. The moment that door is opened, Wham!, Sin pounces all over you. Sin wants to dominate and destroy you. Keeping that in mind, we can go back to Genesis 3 where God tells the woman, “Your desire shall be for your husband.” What we see is that God is not referring to a good sexual desire, but about that Mat 6:10 Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
“DISOVERING THE KNGDOM OF GOD WITHIN YOU” LUKE 17:21 MAGAZINE bad, sinful desire, just like in his warning to Cain. A woman’s desire (sin nature) shall be to dominate her husband just like sin seeks to dominate all of us. In place of the family structure God calls us to, with a husband lovingly leading his wife and the wife joyfully submitting to his leadership, there would now be a power struggle, a struggle to dominate. A woman’s desire (sin nature) for her husband shall be a desire to push him out of his place of leadership. It should not be lost on us that this is exactly what happened when man fell—the woman was led by a creature and the man was led by his wife. The whole God-ordained leadership structure was reversed. And that is how it continues today. A wife struggles to submit to her husband. The ESV puts a little note in the text explaining that the word for could also be translated against. The woman’s desire shall now be against her husband— against his God-given position of leadership and authority. Her heart will rebel against what God has said is good. The woman will engage a lifelong battle against this sin. It’s part of her sinful nature. (End of lesson 2)
