THE HEAVENLY PARADISE.


       

    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.





    THE CELESTIAL PARADISE


    REVELATION 22 /1 thru 5

    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:
