Do You Remember Eden lost?
Everything that happens on earth, especially to Israel, picture something much greater. When God drives Israel out of Jerusalem, it depicts God banishing mankind from Eden.
Earth is the center of God’s heavenly kingdom forever.
Isaiah says,
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”
Isaiah 9:6-7
We lost Eden because of the war in heaven
After the initial conflict, in which Lucifer and 1/3 of the angles fell, God reserved these seditionists under everlasting chains of darkness, until the final judgement.
Going after mankind in the Garden of Eden, was a coward act. Luci made one, last ditch effort to forestall her torment in the Lake of Fire. By making her destruction Adam’s doom also, she used mankind as a human shield. Essentially,, Lucifer did what bad people do in the movies, she grabbed the nearest innocent child and threatened, “if I die, he dies too”.
We are meant to live in Eden
We all long for Eden Lost. Almost every story of jealousy, betrayal, kidnapping, and wars portray, to some extent, what happened in the heavenlies.
The first war in heaven ended after approximately 1600 years of conflict and the near destruction of the heavens and the earth. God sent a flood in which only 8 people survived along with so animals. Our mighty God also wreaked havoc in the heavens, destroying stars and galaxies as he expressed Hid wrath on a perfect universe.
God is about to restore all things
God, once he saves the Christians from Lucifer, is going to destroy this present creation by fire. Jesus will cast all those not found written in his book of like into the Lake of Fire forever.
The only way that people can suffer the same fate as Lucifer and the fallen Angel’s if to become one with her and there evil. To escape that judgement God has made a way, through Jesus Christ, to be filled with his Spirit and become one with Him.
Longing for Eden lost
The city and temple in Israel is what this song is about. However, the bigger picture hearkens back to the original city of our Great King, in the sides of the north, on the mountain of God in Eden.
