Ezekiel: God who travels Chapter 22
As we dive deeper into reading Ezekiel 28, we come to a place, famous on earth but exclusive to God of the Most High, Eden, the garden of God.
Man was never created in Eden or what we call paradise. In God's hand, Adam was formed through dust so probably from earthly material. From Adam's chest, Eve was weaved by God but differences are..this we should know.
Eden must be a special place then, where God plants and grows special trees. I believe it's a place separated from earth or may it be a place somewhere in heaven divided into 4 rivers. In the middle of this garden is described where the tree of life lives and where the tree of knowledge between good and evil also grows.
God did not make Adam's life complicated. There is only 1 rule God set forth and that is... not to eat this tree of knowledge of good and evil. God instructed Adam but take note God never told this to Eve yet. For when God started to command this, Eve was not yet formed from Adam.
There was a time when Adam lived on his own in this God's paradise, he named all animals and gathered them according to its kind. He is somewhat fulfilled but looks incomplete. So God did the first steps and we would read: "It is not good for the man to be alone, I will make a helper suitable for him." But none of these animals were suitable for Adam.
Here comes the woman.
God caused the man to sleep inside Eden and God took out 1 of his ribs, filled it with flesh, and closed it out. Sounds like magic to me😊This is how Eve was created. Eve was created inside Eden and I believe God may have repeated the same commandment He said to Adam for Eve to hear and follow as well. Yes! Eve confirmed it in Genesis chapter 3 verse 3.
All is well.
Not until in the form of a snake, someone in that paradise altered this perfect reality and twisted Eve's purpose knowing that Eve would fail. Confident and beautiful the snake came to tempt Eve and Adam wasn't there to rescue her. Adam wasn't resisting Eve too maybe because of her God-given beauty that even the forbidden fruit became tempting, Adam took a bite.
So they ate.
Satan knows it is well done. This is just another day in paradise.😑👀
