Garden of Eden Foretells the Rapture

The Rapture cannot take place until the command that God gave to Adam in the Garden of Eden, to name all of his creation, is fulfilled.

Adam started to name all the animals in the Garden of Eden as God had commanded him. But then Adam and Eve sinned and they were both thrown out of the Garden of Eden. All of the naming of God's creation subsequently ceased, for God had to be present as Adam named everything as God was interested in what name Adam gave to his creations.

Then Jesus, the son of God, became man through a virgin birth. Jesus Christ was called the second and last Adam. The command to name all of God's creation now fell to Jesus Christ as the second and last Adam. The work started by the first Adam can be resumed by the second Adam, Jesus Christ. But of course Jesus was killed and was resurrected back up into heaven. The naming of God's creation came to an abrupt halt once again.

But then the Holy Spirit came and dwelled in all of those who believed in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is part of the Holy Trinity which means that whenever the Holy Spirit dwells in any believer so is Jesus Christ dwelling in that believer.

And so as every believer in Jesus Christ has Christ dwelling in them. Additionally every believer in Jesus Christ also has Adam indwelling in them as Jesus Christ in the second and last Adam and so the command to name all of God's creation is reinstated and passed on to every believer in Jesus Christ.

If one takes a careful look at history then the naming of God's creation resumed after the Holy Spirit came upon all of the believers in Jesus Christ (hint: remember that God was interested in what Adam named his creations, nobody else). The command given to Adam to name all of God's creation was now part of a Christian's duty. Every Christian society and Christian nation has as its mission to go forth and name everything it finds in its surroundings, as God commanded Adam in the Garden of Eden.

After Adam named everything in the Garden of Eden God withdrew. Next Satan entered into the Garden to tempt Adam and Eve through the serpent. In the same respect the forthcoming Rapture is indicative of God withdrawing right after man has finished naming everything outside of the Garden of Eden (hint: our current existence).

The rapture is God withdrawing after Adam's mission is complete whereby mankind, through the indwelling Holy Spirit, has finished naming everything God had created. Adam is in every believer since Jesus Christ is called the second and last Adam and Christ dwells in his believers through the Holy Spirit. Therefore every Christian is charged with completing the mission of Adam that began in the Garden of Eden.

After the rapture it will be exactly like the Garden of Eden where when God withdrew from the Garden of Eden Satan came to wreak havoc upon all of mankind.

Believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and rest assured that when all of God's creation has been named, which will be shortly, you'll be included in the rapture where Jesus will take all of his believers up into heaven to keep them safe as Satan tempts the world with the same disbelief in God that he had done to Adam and Eve.

God Bless
 
Genesis 2:19
19 And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.../

But it says that...every living creature. That sure sounds like he finished making them, to me.
