Current things we are concerned about, like always, were not part of the original scene. Clothes, appearances, danger, worry, regret, living outside God's plan, of course sin of any kind, and death. Before the fall they were living together, vulnerable, feeling worthy of each other's love. They had virtually limitless provision, they had God walking with them in the coolness of the garden, and they were vulnerable but not weak. From here, they might look uncivilized or pre-development but the reality is that if shame and selfish, wicked behavior comes with those developments then we don't actually want them. But it's too late now.. Unless God should deal with them we are hopelessly stuck. Then, He did deal withthem. He did provide rebirth, Spiritual healing, and he conquered shame, sin, and death. We don't live like we are fallen. We are now to live a life alive in Him, our darkest hours are known, our foolishness, wickedness, our shame, and He has dealt with it all. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us. We live beyond the veil, behind the curtain, insidethe bubble, and we have already won though for all practical appearances the battles still rage.
