Where Is Eve Today?

The creation of the first man, then the first woman (see also Who Was Never A Child? and Adam And Eve's Wedding Night):

"^2:7 And the LORD God [see Christ The Creator] formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul [see Where Is Your Soul?]" (Genesis 2:7 KJV)

"^2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; ^2:22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

^2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. ^2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (John 17:16-19 KJV)

"For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones"

The first woman, Eve, lived her life and died. She is today awaiting her resurrection (see Resurrections). But that Eve was a singular prefigure of a great multitude of people, male and female, who were also created from an "Adam" i.e. "^15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit" (1 Corinthians 15:45 KJV).

At the fulfillment of His ministry, God had the "second Adam" also put into a deep sleep, death (see What Happens When You Die?). From that, another "woman" was created, the church (see What Is The Church?), also from His side, also by His blood, for "we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones," "concerning Christ and the church":

"^5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; ^5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, ^5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

^5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. ^5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:

^5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. ^5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

^5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. ^5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband." (Ephesians 5:25-33 KJV)

Just as he focused his attack on the first Eve, Satan's primary target of unfaithfulness today is the "Eve" that was created to be the spiritual Bride of Christ, for "as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted."

"^11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.

^11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

^11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him." (2 Corinthians 11:2-4 KJV)
