This comparison came to me a while back while I was studying for a 
sermon. I do not presume to have unearthed deep truths, but pray this simple comparison prompts the reader to consider each Word that has proceeded from the mouth of God.
Contrasting Adam and Israel.
| Adam | Israel |
|---|---|
| Formed by God from the dust of the earth. | Formed by God from the dust of the people of the world. |
| Was brought to life by the word and breathe of God. | Was brought into being by the word of God. |
| Had close fellowship with God. | Had close fellowship with God. |
| Was given a covenant within which to live and prosper. | Was given a covenant within which to live and prosper. |
| Broke the covenant and received the penalty of death, which was carried out in due time. | Broke the covenant and received the penalty of death, which was carried out in the fullness of time. |
| Was cast out of the garden, cursed to walk and work in the world which was wrecked by The Fall. | Was divorced by God, left desolate, cursed to walk and work in darkness until the light of Christ. |
| As a type of Christ, Adam points us to the anti-type, Christ Jesus, in whom there is life for Adam’s children who are secure in the Last Adam. | As a type of Christ, Israel points us to the anti-type, Christ Jesus, in whom there is life for Abraham’s children of promise. |
