🧠 Devotional

Before the Ten Commandments.

Before Sinai (the mountain where God gave Moses the Law).

Before Moses.

There was one command.

📖 Genesis 2:16–17 (KJV)

“And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”

In Genesis, a fruit was forbidden. Eating it brought death.

In the garden, humanity reached for what was not theirs.

And

After the Law.

After the prophets.

After the cross.

There was one final command.

Some point to Revelation 22:18–19 as the final command. Others point to this verse. We’re focusing here because it’s the last invitation the Bible gives.

📖 Revelation 22:17 (KJV)

“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”

So why are we looking at the first and last commands in the Bible?

Because they mirror each other.

God went from “thou shalt not eat” to “Come.”

Why?

Because in between those two commands is Jesus.

In Genesis, a fruit was forbidden. Eating it brought death.

In Revelation, water is offered. Drinking it brings life.

That’s symmetry.

Eat and drink. Fruit and water. Death and life.

In the garden, humanity reached for what was not theirs. At the cross, Jesus took what was ours.

So if you learned one thing from all of this, let it be this: when the first and last commands mirror each other like that across centuries of writing and different authors, you’re not looking at coincidence. You’re looking at truth.
