The Garden of Eden the First Residence of Man

The Garden of Eden the First Residence of Man

The Garden of Eden was the first residence of man, called in the Septuagint Paradise. The latter is a word of Persian origin, and describes an extensive tract of pleasure land, somewhat like an English park; and the use of it suggests a wider view of mans first abode than a garden.

Eden [N] [E] [H] (pleasure ).

The description of Eden is found in ( Genesis 2:8-14 ) In the eastern portion of the region of Eden was the garden planted. The Hiddekel, one of its rivers, is the modern Tigris; the Euphrates is the same as the modern Euphrates. With regard to the Pison and Gihon a great variety of opinion exists, but the best authorities are divided between (1) Eden as in northeast Arabia, at the junction of the Euphrates and Tigris, and their separation again, making the four rivers of the different channels of these two, or (2), and most probably, Eden as situated in Armenia, near the origin of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, and in which same region rise the Araxes (Pison of Genesis) and the Oxus (Gihon ).
One of the marts which supplied the luxury of Tyre with richly-embroidered stuffs. In ( 2 Kings 19:12 ) and Isai 37:12 “the sons of Eden” are mentioned with Gozan, Haran and Rezeph as victims of the Assyrian greed of conquest. Probability seems to point to the northwest of Mesopotamia as the locality of Eden.
BETH-EDEN, “house of pleasure:” probably the name of a country residence of the kings of Damascus. ( Amos 1:5 )

Eden meaning pleasure, God put man in a place where he could live a life of pleasure and what happened? The woman ruined it some might say and I always ask what is the Godly order in a ? Christian home? Then where was the man when all this was going on, when the serpent was deceiving the woman? According to Genesis 2:15-17 God told man not woman or man or guess woman he told man.
However he had to tell woman because she tells the serpent in Genesis 3:3 however she adds “nor will you touch it”.

Then he says back in Genesis 3:4-5 And this is where I wish to stop and talk about:
4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die! 5 For God knows that on the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” The serpent was not talking to man because he knew he had a better chance with woman, I believe for man was smart and would not have been fooled. With the lie “ you will be like God, knowing good and evil”.

Go back and read Genesis 1:26-27 “Let us make man in our image” If man had spoke up this lie would have stopped right there for man was as God…
