Thank you for taking a look †
(Genesis 3:22-24) "And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Now a little recap. satan was the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Christ is the tree of life. Why not live forever now? Genesis 3:15 is the answer. Sin had to be paid for, and man to be able to live for God first through the cross. There is no playing the hokey pokey: you cannot listen and take in (consume and digest) satan's fruit/words then act, then blame others for it, and expect life. There will be no Heaven with God for it. And no one can get mad for what they've chosen themselves. God gives us what we ask for. You choose Him you get Him eternity. Inheriting the Earth with the rest of God's people. Can't lose there.
23Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
(Farming. What Adam "'eth ha adam" was formed to do. But not with the cursing(s) from the previous 7 verses). He could not handle the garden of Eden.
24So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life."
Now remember where the garden of Eden was, in the area of Babylon where the Tigris and Euphrates meet. What's east? the far east, where the Asian countries would form. Important because God made them specific as fishers of the oceans/sea (Genesis 1:26-28) (Blacks Africa--hunters). And so the concentrated center of the World, and HIStory have been the Babylon/Sumeria area in Mesopotamia. Between far east Asia and Africa.
Christ, the tree of life--the two-edged sword that comes out of HIS mouth. The Word of God that gives life. For HE is the word of God. His eyes are like a flaming fire. Representing when God looks at a person the purging out of sin, and consuming sin. The sword cuts to pieces. Could you imagine being cut to pieces but the Lord not building back up? Building back up with all His promises making us whole and complete in Him and through Him. He puts the pieces back together. Hebrews 4:12-13.
So, you have the Word, and the purging and consuming--which gives life (belief and repentance).
(Revelation 1:14) "His head and his hairs were white like wool (pure mind), as white as snow (purity); and his eyes were as a flame of fire (purge)."
(Revelation 1:16) "And he had in his right hand seven stars (angels): and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword (the Word of God): and his countenance was as the sun (He is the light of the world) shineth in his strength."
(Revelation 1:18) "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."
(And so it is).
Amen †
