God's Garden

[veteran]

Here's a simple poser, yet a profound mystery.

When God formed Adam and Eve in the flesh, and placed them in His Garden of Eden, the serpent tempted them.

Per Rev.12:7 and 20:2, our Lord tells us "that old serpent" is simply another title for Satan himself.

We also know Satan was cast from Heaven down to the earth at his original rebellion (Luke 10:18).

And we also know per Genesis 2 that God's Garden of Eden was upon this earth at the time of Adam and Eve, since God's River in Eden is show flowing out of the Garden to feed four other rives upon the earth.

If God's Garden (Paradise) of Eden is His Abode, then what was it doing upon the earth at that time, and how was it that Satan was in it?

the river flowed from his throne- to the garden- where it went in four directions. what was that river? the word,the blessing.where is his throne?eden. where was the garden?eastward in eden. the four rivers we know are not the same that flowed from the garden.

Right, the River went out of Eden to water the garden, and then parted to feed four other rivers on the earth. We know where Hiddekel and Euphrates still are, near modern day Iraq.

And the tree of life was in the garden.

In the Greek Septuagint Old Testament, the word Eden is rendered as Paradise. It's pointing to Eden as God's Abode. In Ezekiel 28 & 31, we're shown how Satan was in Eden and he rebelled.

In Ezekiel 47 we're shown a future time when that River will flow out of the Milennium Temple, also as in Zechariah 14 and Revelation 22.

So what was that River doing feeding four other rivers upon the earth in that time of Genesis 2? Why was God's Garden there on earth in that time? What is that pointing to?

The river that went out of the garden wasn't water.it was gods word
And the tree of life was in the garden.
it was in the middle of the river. and now its on both sides also.
In the Greek Septuagint Old Testament, the word Eden is rendered as Paradise. It's pointing to Eden as God's Abode. In Ezekiel 28 & 31, we're shown how Satan was in Eden and he rebelled.

some believe the garden was not on earth, for gods throne has always been above the heavens and the garden was in the east of it. jesus watched him fall as lighting
