It's an analogy.
You need to learn to expand your thinking.
I can show you, but I can't make you see.
Everything that happened in the garden is played out, over and over again throughout the entire bible.
Genesis is the Grand overview from beginning to end.
Each consecutive book is that same Genesis only it is in greater detail.
When you come to the book of Revelation that is the Grand overview from beginning to end.
The only difference between Genesis and Revelation is Genesis is of the flesh, while Revelation is of the spirit.
It's the same story, yes the names and places change, but the foundation, the morals, the principles are all the same.
The same pitfalls, the same mistakes, the same successes, played out over and over across many generations.
History repeats itself. You only need to be willing to see it.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Alpha and Omega.. world without end.. eternal life.. forever and ever and ever.
The garden of Eden has always been there. It is still there today. It's called Baghdad, Iraq.
It's the same place Nimrod built the tower of Babel.
It's the same place God calls Zion.
It's the same place Christ was crucified.
Abraham came from the land of Ur. Ur is Babylon. He travelled to Egypt with Sarah and then returned to the promised land.
Isaac found Rebecca in Syria. Right next door to Iraq.
Gen 25:20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of
Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
Paddân, pad-dawn'; from an unused root meaning to extend; a plateau; or פַּדַּן אֲרָם Paddan ʼĂrâm; from the same and
H758; the table-land of Aram; Paddan or Paddan-Aram,
a region of Syria:—Padan, Padan-aram.
Jacob was living in the land when there was a famine and went down to Egypt. They hung there for 400 years until they were sent back to the promised land.
It's not called the promised land for nothing.
The promised land is the garden of eden.. in the physical landscape of things.
But in the spiritual landscape, The garden of Eden, Paradise, New Jerusalem is in the heart.
