God did not create Adam to be alone; He also created Eve to be Adam's spouse. Just as there was a tree in the Garden of Eden which symbolized a perfected man, there also should have been a tree which represented a woman who has fully realized the ideal of creation. The tree of the knowledge of good and evil, standing beside the tree of life,14(Gen. 2:9)CEV|KJ|NIwas this tree which, by fulfilling its good purpose, represents the ideal woman, perfected Eve.
The Bible refers to Jesus using the metaphors of a vine15(John 15:5) CEV|KJ|NIand a branch.16(Isa. 11:1)CEV|KJ|NI; (Jer. 23:5) CEV|KJ|NILikewise, to give us a hint about the secret of the human Fall, God provided the symbolism of two trees to represent perfected Adam and Eve.
