The Garden of Eden

Genesis Chapter Two

Where is the Garden of Eden located. People can tell you anything they want to, I heard a man say that the Garden of Eden was located in America  What was so sad about that, was all the people that believed him.

 I Timothy says,   Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;  I did my homework, and the devil is a liar. You can do yours to.

In Genesis chapter two verse eight, it reads that God planted a garden eastward in Eden and there he put the man whom he had formed.

1. Where was the man that God had formed put?__________________________________________

Where is Eden? To help us find Eden's geographical location let's read on,

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.

(If your reading in your bible, did you notice that the name, "LORD GOD," is all capital letters, this is to let us know that God, Elohim is at work here.) lets continue on,

10. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted and became into four heads

11. the name of the first is Pison, that is it which compass the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold: And the gold of that land is good, there is bdellium and the onyx stone. ( note this, this is very important for you to know)

13. And the name of the second river is Gihon, the same is it that compass the whole land of Ethiopia
     ( note this, this is also very important for you to know)

14. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goes towards the east of Assyria.
     And the fourth river is Euphrates.

if you haven't already guessed where Eden is located, to find the geographical location of  Eden, take your Strong's Concordance, or a bible dictionary and look up the four rivers and note where each river is located.  This lesson will give us an understanding of where creation and man started.  This is very important for us to know.
