Adam

"Adam" in Hebrew means mankind.
H120 'adam, aw-dawm'; from 119; ruddy, a human being, mankind, person.

This word also means "Red Earth."
119 'adam, aw-dam'; to show blood (in the face), :-be (dyed, made) red earth,

So let's examine the symbology here. There are two ways to interpret this. Did God create a man named Adam, or did He create adam "mankind?" Perhaps both situations are true and correct.

Red earth has a very interesting history as well as symbolic picture.
Red ocher or red earth was used in virtually every Stone Age culture
on earth for religious ceremonies.

Earth or dirt is a picture of the body
"Out of the dust of the Earth He created them"

Now literally the phosphorous, hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen that makes up our bodies can be found in the dirt of the Earth.

But symbolically dirt, dust, earth, all mean the body.

Red is a picture of blood sacrifice and of life.
"The life is in the blood"
So the word/name Adam shows us
a living body,
a living sacrifice, and
a Life that is found only in the Blood of Christ (Anointed).


Adam, a type - The apostle Paul speaks of Adam as "the figure of him who was to come." On this account our Lord is sometimes called the second Adam. This typical relation is described in Rom. 5:14-19.

Can you show me verses in the Bible that point to the earth having a Stone Age? Or a Bronze Age? Or an Ice Age?

The only reason, I believe, that the 'old age earth' and various 'ages' have been promoted is to support the evolutionistic atheistic concept. There is no such thing as PREHISTORIC either! In the beginning, God....

I have heard teachings that Adam was male AND female. No sure about that. Weird huh.

Genesis 5:2 "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."

God let me watch while He created the first man. In a vision. It was cool.
