LAST WEEK
We looked at a glimpse of Heaven
We concluded that one day Jesus will make all things new.
One day, there will be no more tears, sorrow, suffering, pain . . .
We as Bible Believing Christians can look at life in a very optimistic light, because we know that one day all will be made right.
THIS WEEK
We are going to look at another side of Heaven
We are going to look at the Final Message of Jesus to the Churches.
We are going to finish the Book of Revelation
READ
PRAY
Rev 22:
JOHN IS STILL SPEAKING WITH THE ANGEL
THE ANGEL BEGINS TO SHOW JOHN SOME OTHER INTERESTING DETAILS OF HEAVEN
HE SHOWED HIM A RIVER OF WATER OF LIFE
This river is clear as crystal
It proceeds from the throne of God and the Lamb
This River is very different from what we have ever seen
But it wouldn’t be foreign to those who study the bible and know a little bit about the prophetic books of the Bible.
Check our
Ezekiel
This is almost identical to what we are seeing in Heaven.
Written almost 700 years before the Book of Revelation
Ezekiel is describing a Temple, a City, that will be rebuilt for God’s Glory.
Let’s remember, in Revelation, we are also talking about the City and a people Group.
So in the middle of the street of this great city
And on both sides of the river
Was the tree of Life
This tree was larger than what we can imagine
It’s roots were deep into the foundation of the city.
So much so, that it looks like the tree sprouted up on both sides of the River.
You may be thinking, why is there a tree in Heaven, didn’t a tree keep us from Heaven in the first place?
If you remember, the Garden of Eden had two trees.
One, was the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
The Other was the Tree of Life
IN THIS TEXT WE ARE SEEING THE REDEMPTIVE QUALITIES OF GOD IN ACTION
THE GARDEN HAS THIS VERY BITTERSWEET TASTE
A PLACE WHERE SIN AND DEATH BEGAN
THERE IS THIS THING IN CHRISTENDOM, CALLED THE LAW OF FIRST MENTION.
ON ONE HAND, IT WAS GOOD, GIVEN TO ADAM AS A GIFT FOR HIM TO STEWARD
ON THE OTHER HAND, IT WAS A PLACE WHERE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN GOD AND MAN WAS DISTORTED.
But in this text, we see a different Garden
A renewed Garden, with one Tree
So, let’s take a look at the Garden of Eden for a second
Where the first mention of something dictates how that is defined in the rest of the Biblical text.
So, let’s take a look at the Garden of Eden for a second
Genesis 2:8
God plants this Garden in a place called Eden
This was man’s home
This was a place that God created for man to enjoy.
Trees that God planted for man’s nurture and pleasure
Pleasant to the sight and good for food.
Within this Garden, there was two trees
The Tree of Life
The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
From this Garden, there flowed a river
This river lead to places of prosperity
Places where gold, bdellium, onyx, and life was abundant.
All God required from the man, was to tend the garden
But there was two things he needed to be mindful of
The man could eat of ever tree
He could enjoy of all that the River of Life nurtured.
Except for one tree
The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil
For in the day that he ate of it, he would surely die.
WE KNOW THE STORY
GOD THEN SEE’S THAT MAN HAS A DEEPER NEED THAN FOOD, AND LABOR.
GOD CAUSES THE MAN TO SLEEP
GOD CREATES FROM HIS RIB, A WOMAN,
SHE, THEN EATS FROM THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL
WHICH BEGINS THE SNOWBALL EFFECT FOR ALL OF HUMANITY.
BUT TIMEOUT:
Do we ever think about the other tree?
Was there any repercussions for eating from that tree?
ACTUALLY, GOD CLUES US IN IN GENESIS 3
CHURCH, HUMANITY HAD THE ABILITY TO LIVE FOREVER
Genesis 3:22
Adam and Eve were supposed to live forever
If they only had stuck to the plan.
GOD HAS
If they only remained disciplined.
If they only took God’s word at face value.
So Adam and Eve sinned, and now they are bound by the consequences of sin.
A couple that was supposed to live forever, will now surely die.
says that the wages of sin is death.
Romans 6
THOUGH CONSEQUENCES ARE CONSEQUENCES
ISN’T IT RADICAL THAT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE DOESN’T FORSAKE US EVEN AFTER WE HAVE SINNED?
ISN’T IT AMAZING THAT HE IS WILLING TO WORK THROUGH THE CONSEQUENCES WITH US
YES, ADAM AND EVE WILL SURELY DIE, BUT GOD STILL PURSUED THEM
“ADAM, WHERE ARE YOU”
BEFORE HE KICKED THEM OUT OF THE GARDEN
WHY ALL OF THIS GENESIS TALK?
BECAUSE THIS IS THE NATURE THAT WILL BE RESTORED
WE ALL HAVE TAKEN FROM THE TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL
WE HAVE ALL QUESTIONED GOD’S WORD
DID HE REALLY SAY
