S
Just wanted to share this, please read the ENTIRE post before replying and just think about it.
We all know we were banished from Eden and from reaching out to the tree of life. What I find amazing though is that Revelation says the tree of life still exists, IN the paradise of God, where Jesus said he was going after the cross btw, (above). Which the word of paradise in Greek is basically translated as beautiful pleasure garden.
Rev. 2:7-"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes,I will give the right to eat from the tree of life,*which is in the paradise*of God."
So if Eden was there in the beginning and there in the end, where is it now. And if you are thinking what I'm thinking about it being above, what does that mean for the fall of man, and why are we looking for it on Earth?
If you read Ezekiel carefully you will see he even prophesied that Eden was somewhere else. I'm going to highlight the key words that point that out in the order they appear, because the prophecy spans a few verses and the key words are spaced out so I would like to highlight those.
13-You were in Eden,the garden of God...
15-You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created till wickedness was found in you.
16- So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you....
17- So I threw you to the earth...
To paraphrase even more...you were in Eden, until driven away in disgrace, and then thrown to the EARTH.
So then if he WAS in Eden, and then THROWN to the Earth, how could those two be in the same place?? I mean, clearly the tree of life is in the Garden of God in the beginning, and in the paradise of God in the end. No where is it ever said that Eden was destroyed, it just said immortal man became mortal and was then banished from it. So it's there in the end and there in the beginning, where is it now? Surely the tree of life we couldn't reach out to has something to do with Jesus saying the kingdom has come to us...right? Surely the tree of life wasnt wiped out in the flood, its still around, its eternal LOL. I mean what other tree are we in that could possibly give eternal life!?!? (THE grafting of the branches would be a great tree to be in for eternal life, right...)
It's there in the beginning, and the end, where is it now...ohhhhh the FALL of man...Lol. Just food for thought.
