1. And he
shewed me a pure river of water of life.
clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God
and of the lamb.
2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either
side of the river, was there the tree of life. which
bare twelve manner of fruit, and yielded her fruit
every month: and the leaves of the tree were for
healing of the nations.
3. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne
of God and of the Lamb.shall be in it; and his
servants shall serve Him.
4. And they shall see his face; and His name shall be
in their foreheads.
5. And there shall be no night there; and they need
no candle; neither light of the sun; for the Lord God
giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and
ever.
In Revelation 22/1 thru 5 is described a paradise in
that Great Holy Celestial Pearly White City of God.
or we might have just as well have said that the
Pearly
White City was in the Heavenly Paradise. Now this
paradise
was not the first paradise, but rather the second.
the first of course being the Garden of Eden.
Genesis 2/8 thru 10
8. And the Lord God planted a Garden eastward in
Eden; and there He put the man whom He had
formed.
9. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow
every tree that is pleasant to the sight,and good for
food; the tree of life also in the midst of the
garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and
evil.
10. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden;
and from thence it was parted and became into four
heads.
Now the plans for the third paradise has been drawn
but has never been created:
11 Chronicles 7/14
14.
If My people which are called
by My name shall humble themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
Yes God has promised to heal our land if: We His
people will pray, seek My face and turn from their
wicked ways, will heal their land: not maybe, but I
will heal their land.
Have you ever thought about the above and just what
it would take for God to heal our land: If My people
would repent and seek His face. Yes that is all it
would take. Just his people, or the redeemed and just
think about it, We as the redeemed within our selves
without the unredeemed, but we most likely will never
do all those things at least, not all the redeemed at
the same
time.
Then there is the Paradise of The Garden of Eden' It
was created for the first man and woman (Adam & Eve)
and God place them in the garden to care for it, Now
Adam's house was not a great mansion, It was a garden
The heavens was his roof, and never was any roof so
beautifully painted. The earth was his floor so
richly inlaid, The Lord God is the one that planted
this garden. Then in this garden were all the trees
that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food. and
the tree of life, and the tree of good and evil. were
also in this garden. Every thing to delight the human
so. and yes God place Adam and Even in this garden to
care for it.
Yes Adam and Eve was given this garden with everthing
to make them comfortable, Just think with only one
commandent to keep. Ofcourse there was some one else
living in this garden. Oh yes old Satan himself in
the form of a snake. Now you and I know that Satan
could never be content with that condition, So he
used his very best weapon the same that he still uses
so successfully. You said that right Pride-Pride, and
they yielded to tempation and broke their one
commandment and because they did eat of the tree of
good and evil which God had told no to eat thereof.
so God run them out of their paradise. Yes this
garden was a temporary one.
However the paradise of the pure river of water of
life is quite different in so many ways. First it is
eternaly. This Paradise will be forever and ever, It
was created for the redeemed child of God that has
already lived their life on earth, and was a redeemed
child of God. Here they can live for ever in the
presence of God and the Lamb, where joy and peace
reigns for ever and ever. That river unlike all the
river on this earth gets muddy and unclear. But the
rivers here is as clear as crystal.Then the tree of
life with fruit that is delightful to the taste with
fruit alway on the tree, plus that fruit is life
giving.
In revelation 22/4
4. And they shall see His face; and His name shall be
in their foreheads.
Yes just think that the redeemed of all ages will be
able to live and dwell with Jehovah God and the Lamb
forever and ever in that Celestial City of God there
beside the River:
