This is a good point, and defines the sabbath rest, basically all is completed and the purpose of God would be done. But just to add, while total creation was said to be ‘very good’ and also worthy of a Sabbath rest day, 5 out of 6 days were said to be ‘good’, the second day has no such mention of being good. This leaves open the possibility of something not right about it, though the days taken as a whole cover anything amiss about day 2.
According to the Bible everything that had been created was created for Jesus (Col 1;16) (thus not Adam), however also according to the Bible we get to share in that inheritance with Christ:
(Ro 8:17)“Now if we are children, then we are heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory”
Which also answers Czarcasm’s statement:
The present suffering will be met in the end of being co-heirs with Christ.
This has been taken by some to mean learning from the animals, and naming them once the lesson was learned, as opposed to just calling that tree swinging thing a Monkey out of the blue.
In the Bible names were ofter more then identification but had meaning behind them that related to that person’s or objects function, such as naming a well after a battle or a agreement, or Jesus calling Simon Peter meaning rock, and stating on this rock I will build my church. It is in line that the naming of the animals implies some familiarity with them and some schooling going on, placing Adam in the position of a student which is a more ‘child like’ position.
The Bible says God says to Adam they should not eat of it. Eve is the one in the Bible who states God Stated they should not even touch it. It is uncertain that God said this, or if Adam told Eve God said this, or Eve added that to the instructions as an extra precaution for herself. The Bible does also indicate that Eve was deceived. Thus we don’t know if God also disallowed touching of the fruit.
