New Jerusalem = Paradise = Garden of Eden?

[WhiteWings]

^YLTRev 2
7 He who is having an ear--let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming--I will give to him to eat of the tree of life that is in the midst of the paradise of God.

^YLTRev 22
2 in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, is a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree are for the service of the nations;

New Jerusalem = Paradise = Garden of Eden?

Isaiah 1:30
For ye shall be as a garden that hath no water.


Christ is The LIVING water of LIFE---- The garden is us- each man -ALL MEN-  ADAM - hebrew meaning MANKIND

Consider Christ in our GARDEN[ MIND] FROM THE BEGINNING, but through the Birth of the carnal mind ,  we slew HIM from within- our MIND KILLS HIS in US- this pattern is shown continually- therefore we lost our identity of who we really are-

so Christ was slain from the Beginning - HE DIES but will  BE resurrected again within us---we are the vessel of HIS RESURRECTION within-

now see this GARDEN as your MIND- we slew HIM in  OUR garden where HE IS BURIED-[ tomb] WE THE body\MIND OF THE GRAVE-

John 19:41
Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre[tomb]

Christ Crucified at Gogotha- the place of the SKULL[ MIND]

-- now the the RISEN CHRIST in our HEARTS and Mind- the MORNING STAR WHO RISES WITHIN----

HE is called th e GARDENER- HE who attends OUR garden , providing food and water for it to grow

Luke 13:19
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

THE TREE is CHRIST [ of life] IN Us-- so is is the kingdom of GOD, so is paradise----

THIS is why the carnal mind is the MURDERER, the Theif, the LIAR and acusser----  :icon_flower:

[Taffy]

so back to EVE WHO IS our CARNAL mind which slew the LORD within--- the carnal mind continually fight the spiritual MIND attempting to slay it -

see two minds one the carnal - the other HIS waiting\coming to birth----

cain is shown as is always the first born to be a similitude of the carnal mind which SLEW ABEL= the spirtual mind--- these patterns  exist everywhere in scripture--

now consider this- the COMING= revealing within]
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Mat 24:37   But as the days of Noe [were], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 


Mat 24:38   For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 


Mat 24:39   And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.  


Mat 24:40   Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  


Mat 24:41   Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.  

the treasure of scripture opens like never before and LIFE rises from the black and white Tony--

[Taffy]

Psa 18:11   He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him [were] dark waters [and] thick clouds of the skies. 

Christ HIDES asleep BEHIND THE veil OF THE heart \mind WAITING TO AWAKE WITHIN

ships are souls of men too--- you also find HIM asleep with them-- waiting to made awake----

Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.  :icon_flower: :icon_flower: :icon_flower: :icon_flower: :icon_flower: :icon_flower: :icon_flower:
