Back to the Garden

 

                Let us go back to the Garden of God that began in the east, in Eden; back to where all kinds of trees can grow out of the ground – trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. A place where a river watering the garden flows as a unit instead of four separated “headwaters” as did those that flowed from Eden (division).

Let us go back to the tree of life, by a way which is guarded (coming and going) with a flaming sword flashing back and forth. “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.”

Let us back into the garden that began in the east, in Eden and now includes a multitude with a voice like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: ‘“Hallelujah!, for our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)’

Let us go back into the garden where God was, is, and always will be the One and only God, a garden wherein we are free from the ambitious desire to be like him, the desire which is above and beyond the image that has the tree of life in the midst of it, the image he created us - for, in the midst of which is the Tree of Life.

 Let us repent and worship God, instead of ourselves, the light through which we are again allowed to reach out our hand and take from the Tree of Life and “eat” to live (consistently) forever.

God is Spirit and he is real, more real than you or I, more real than any physical created thing for which death waits. ‘The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing.’
