See the topic on Adam and Eve for the full scriptural information.  This topic is describing the consequences for Adam and Eve that affects everyone of us based on our Gender.

The Event Sequence dealing Adam and Eve

The summary of events in the scriptures are:

  1. God gave Adam the leadership role and dominion of the Earth. 
  2. Eve was deceived by Lucifer, which was also a sin of not believing the best of God, and she ate the Forbidden Fruit.
  3. When Adam was not deceived and knowingly ate the Forbidden Fruit, he lost the dominion of the Earth which was yielded to Lucifer.  Adam became a model of what Jesus Christ has done by joining us in our predicament so that we could have Salvation.
    (a) Regarding lost dominion of Earth, recall in Matthew 4:8-11 that Lucifer speaks of his ownership and in order for it to be a temptation, which Jesus Christ renounces, then the ownership has to be valid.
    Matthew 4:8-11 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
    10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
  4. When Jesus Christ arrives to end the Great Tribulation, known as the Second of the Second Comings, then Jesus will take full control of the Earth of the Earth which ends Lucifer, Fallen Angels and Demons influence by putting them in prison in Lower Sheol. 
    (a) This period is the fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant and the period of time known as the Millennial Kingdom.

The predominate consequences from judgment of God on Adam and Eve, based on our gender, are not explicitly listed but inferred that are more of the primary punishment edict from God on disobeying God.  The sin of Adam and Eve at the Garden of Eden event was not a insurrection, rebellion, and usurping as Lucifer and the Fallen Angels had attempted.

2. Adams's Consequences

God, in Genesis 3:17-19, explained and listed the summary consequences on Adam on all all males.  This consequence will be removed in Eternity after the Judgment Seat of Christ and the New Heaven and Earth.

Genesis 3:17-19 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toil shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; 18 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
