An image of Eve convincing Adam to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, leading to the Fall of Man
Following the aftermath of the events of the Fall of Man, God was very displeased with Adam and Eve for not obeying and trusting him and his judgment. God cast them away from the Garden to the west, the worst part of the Garden because it had no pleasantries to remind them of their sins and transgressions against God and the world. God sent them to a place called the Cave of Treasures for 5,500 years as penance for his transgressions. Again, God had pity on them and allowed them to stay in the cave and not be killed by the cherub with a flaming sword, and instead allowed them to serve out their sentence. After grief and sadness and torture overcame them, Adam and Eve committed suicide only to be raised by God and given comfort and assurance. Again killed by the Beasts of Creation, God again raised them from the dead and allowed them to feel life and love from Him. They were punished with heat, thirst, sorrow, and darkness as well during this time. After another suicide and raising, their atonement had been paid in the eyes of the Lord and they were granted salvation after their 5,500 years of atonement and pain, to forever feel love, warmth, and happiness.
