I've heard speculation that the Garden of Eden could've been where the Temple Mount is today, or at least where Solomon's garden was. Kingly gardens, in ancient days, was believed to be where the gods communed with the Kings.

God knowing that man's rebellion would also eventually surface, it seems fitting that God allowed the enemy access into the Garden to facilitate His purposes.

After Lucifer's and the angels rebellion against God, He fashioned our home here on Earth rather than in Heaven.  This is why we must all be tested, for this cause that none should ever enter the Lord's home that didn't love Him!

And as we count and calculate the days of history seeing how exacting God's times are, perhaps Satan's entrance in the Garden was to help precipitate God's timing as well?!

Indeed the Garden and every day since has been a time of testing.  But with the cross of Christ, our victory is resurrection!

Aha ...

As I was unpacking today I came across this book called “Mysteries of the Bible Now Revealed”.  I never got a chance to read the book yet ... so I was skimming through it and just saw in Chapter 1  Grant Jeffrey talks about the names of 25 trees encoded in Genesis 2 ... here they are:

Vine
Grape
Chestnut
Dense Forest
Date
Acacia
Bramble
Cedar
Nut
Fig
Willow
Pomegranate
Aloe
Tamarisk
Oak
Poplar
Cassia
Almond
Mastic
Thorn Bush
Hazel
Olive
Citron
Fir
Wheat (related to Tree of Knowledge)

Sooo  the question now is what fruit does the Wheat tree produce?

OK ... since we know the Knowledge of Good and Evil was a “Wheat” tree  ... I was doing some research of what the fruit might have been. :mail:

Since nobody came forth with their view yet ... here is mine ...

Wheat is a major ingredient in such foods as:
bread, porridge, crackers, biscuits, Muesli, pancakes, pasta and noodles, pies, pastries, pizza, polenta and semolina, cakes, cookies, muffins, rolls, doughnuts, gravy, beer, vodka, boza (a fermented beverage), and breakfast cereals.

I’m focusing on the donuts.  Why?  Because of 2 things:

  1. “A popular Israeli folktale holds that the word "sufganiyah" (Jelly Donut) comes from the Hebrew expression "Sof Gan Yud-Heh" ("סוף גן יה"), meaning "the end of the Garden of the Lord"[6] (referring to the Garden of Eden)”
  2. Jelly Donuts are also eaten during the celebration of  Hanukkah

Sooo could it be the Knowledge of Good and Evil wheat tree contained a batch of Jelly Donuts hanging from the branches and this is what Adam and Eve took a bite out of? :whistle:

Or ... do I need to go back to the drawing board in more research?   B-)
