THE LEGEND OF LILTH; ADAM'S FIRST WIFE
Adam was a fulfilled man, God created him from dust, and gave him dominion over every living thing in the Garden of Eden. Over the birds of the air, the fishes in the water and the animals on land. There was enough to eat, fruits of different kinds were available for consumption, but he had just one problem, Lilith.
Lilith was created the same day as Adam, she was equally created from dust and she had breath just like Adam did.
The only difference was, she was a woman. And as God would want it, Lilith was expected to submit to Adam as his wife. Lilith was okay being Adam's wife, but she refused to submit to his every will.
She felt she had the right to have her own voice, the right to her freedom.
She strongly believed her opinion mattered, and it deserved to be considered.
She said
"there is no other animal that lays on their back to procreate"
But then Adam wouldn't let her have her way, he was not willing to let her have her wish, her wish to be equal to him. It wasn't what God wanted, it was certainly not what he wanted either, she should be totally submissive, just as God instructed.
It became an issue that God had to summon Lilith back to heaven hoping to convince her to rethink her resolutions. Adam was unwilling to let her have her way and Lilith wouldn't back down either. God had no choice, Lilith had to be summoned.
Dear Lord, I was created on the same day as Adam, from the ground just like him, I was given breathe as he was given, why would I submit to his will? Why don't I have a right to have a voice?"
Lilith poured out to God. She refused to return to Adam's side as his wife, since the only option to return was to submit.
It was settled then, God had no choice left, he had to replace Lilith, Adam needed a woman by his side, a woman who would be submissive just as he wanted.
He made Adam fall into a deep sleep and then he took a rib from him and made Eve. Eve became history in the Bible, because she acted just as God instructed, she submitted to Adam and all that he wanted. Although it wasn't long when they were tempted; the subservient wive got tempted by the serpent and got her husband into the sin as well.
Lilith watched from heaven with the drive to help Eve and every other women, she couldn't just watch women being trampled upon, she felt they deserved to be equal with men, to have a voice just like the men. She vowed to return to earth, not as just one woman, but as a spirit who would live in women, and show them just how to be strong, how to thrive, how to be equal to men, how to fight for themselves, and how have a voice in the society.
This is an awesome post! I honestly never knew about Lilith so you have opened my eyes to something new with this one. I can appreciate that she wanted equality for women and to support us. Thanks for sharing!
