“Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.” (Ezek. 28:13). Eden is the garden of God; it is God’s orchard. The things that are grown in it are God’s. Eden is a realm where the things that pertain to God are found (Heb. 2:17).
A garden does not only consist of trees; grasses, shrubs and other plants can be found there as well. God grows different things; but when He is anointing them, He uses herbs. Trees are not the only things that are God’s, herbs are also God’s.
“All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.” (Ps. 45:8). What made Jesus glad are spices. It was this same ointment of the apothecary that was used to anoint Jesus after resurrection.
Most of the trees in Eden bear fruits. Beneath these trees are shrubs which may not grow as mighty as the trees, and yet they are of God. This category of plants does not develop in height, yet, this does not mean that they do not have age. Shrubs represent another description of God. This tells us that God has many sides to Himself.
Those spices in the oil are the reason for gladness. They are all bitter spices but they result in gladness. “Gladness” is an eternal attitude; it is also a doctrine of reward. One cannot use these spices without the ministry of an eternal state; as such, Jesus was not anointed with these spices as an everlasting Being but as an eternal Being.
“And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.” (Mark 16:1). When God was anointing Jesus, He did not use sweet spices; rather, He used bitter ones (Ps. 45:8). He did this to show that the One who is seated on the throne is a dead Man – One dead to the things of man; for He is God’s man. All the things of man died in Him until He became a God-man.
“And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. [9] And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.” (Gen. 2:8-9). The tree of the knowledge of good and evil would not have grown in the garden if it did not have a god capacity. This tree is the tree of a god who is a liar (John 8:44); while the tree of life is the tree of the true God. All the trees in the garden of Eden are lights to lead those who partake of them unto God.
“And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. [10] And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.” (Gen. 2:9-10). The water was not in the garden, but outside it - in Eden. This means God used the natural to feed the supernatural. This water was the help that increased the stature of both the good trees and the evil one.
Only God can use the natural to supply growth to the spiritual. This means Eden was a special place; its power was not ordinary. God put something in Eden to enable it grow spiritual things. The ground of Eden could grow spiritual seeds. The seed of the Tree of Life had the capacity to take natural food just the same way Jesus could partake of natural food after resurrection (Luke 24:43). The other tree could also do this. The Tree of life, even though spiritual, could use the natural for its growth. This is what makes Eden a supernatural place – it is the realm where the spiritual and the natural touch.
The trees in Eden cannot be compared to those outside Eden. Those trees in Eden were governed by the light of the Tree of Life. When Adam ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the tree followed him outside the garden and infected all trees and life forms. However, the Tree of life did not follow Adam out of the garden. As such, the community and governance of the Tree of life is limited to the garden of Eden.
One cannot compare the trees in the garden to those without, for the former are higher. The rest of the trees in the garden have an interpretation of light and God calibrated these things for a symbolic explanation of the Kingdom.
“The two doors also were of olive tree; and he carved upon them carvings of cherubims and palm trees and open flowers, and overlaid them with gold, and spread gold upon the cherubims, and upon the palm trees.” (1 Kings 6:32). Solomon used the palm tree to depict cherubims. This means that everything about these angels has to do with palms. Palms represents openness (2 Cor. 3:18) or the writing of laws. However, evil spirits have also taken advantage of this and have taught men to use palms to interact with oracles. Fallen angels will teach you anything once you break order in the spirit.
There are certain things we should not do to avoid entering into covenants with fallen spirits. For example, we should not seek to see spirits, because one will end up seeing an evil spirit that will make a covenant with such a person. When this happens, one’s angel would be unable to protect such a person at that time; because order in the spirit has been violated.
Do not be excited about seeing spirits because when you do, you excite yourself outside of scriptures and into the hands of an evil spirit that will torment you. Follow scriptures and teach the Bible. Do not call for an angel; rather, just stay on the Word. It is even wrong to ask Jesus to appear physically to you; rather, pray to Him to appear by revelation. We are given the right to pray to know Jesus through understanding; and this is the only portal that is safe. Do not open some portals but stay on scriptures fully.
“And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.” (Rev. 22:1). The throne of God is the source of the river. This means the throne of God is not in Eden, even though it caters for Eden. You need to go through Eden before you can sit on the throne; the last reward is to sit on the throne (Rev. 3:21).
“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” (Rev. 22:2). The river flows from the throne into the street. Anyone who will sit on the throne will have to go through the street and pass through to the throne. You must walk through the river to eat of the tree because the tree is in the midst of the street. The water from the river is to wash one’s feet and it changes strength as one progresses. The water of life which is clear as crystal is the eternal dimension of the river that grows the tree of life.
“And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ankles. [4] Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins. [5] Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.” (Ezek. 47:3-5). The strength quality of the water is from the throne. Walking in the water is greater than the water carrying you. When the river carries you, washing is taking place; but we are to move from being washed to being purged. The process of purging is to make one pure.
“And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.” (Ezek. 47:10). These difficult and cursed lands are men. There is not enough time to heal some souls here on earth; it is until such souls get to the world to come that they can be healed. This is because the person who did the work in them did an everlasting work; it was a work of a throne!
It is not easy to change people. Those who will minister to men in the world to come are men that make up the city. They are men that have partaken of the resurrection of the dead (Philipp. 3:11).
The new earth will be governed for some time by men who have the light of the city. The city is made up of men in their different categories. They will not all minister at the same time because every part of the city is a ministration. Overcomers of many generations make up the city; they will minister to billions of people who will need healing in the world to come.
You first start in the water by swimming; then the water gets to your loins. This stage is still referred to as Christ, until you can walk in the water. You cannot jump from the river to the throne. One whom the water is carrying is not walking but swimming.
“In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” (Rev. 22:2). We are to walk against the flow of the water. Walking against the flow makes one inherit the ingredients of the water. When we walk against the flow, the things of the water settle on us.
The tree has twelve manners of fruits; six on either side (Rev. 22:2). One needs six months to complete each side of the tree. This means it will take twelve months to sit on the throne. These months are months of eternity.
The Tree of Life is the timing of eternity. A month is a fruit - this means the moon is a fruit also; each fruit is a moon. Each month will be composed of many of one type of fruit. Each overcomer will eat a fruit, which is their reward. The twelve months are the calibration for all the rewards. These rewards have two categories: there is the reward of the within; and after eating this fruit, one can eat of the hidden manna also (Rev 2:17).
The hidden manna is an eternal corn, while the everlasting manna is an everlasting corn; the shewbread is a corn of life and peace (Rom. 8:6), that is, Christ. The everlasting corn is the first corn of the field of Eden; it is the testimony of our Lord Jesus which is needed to war. After one has overcome, one is given the eternal corn which is the corn of the land.
“And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. [28] And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. [29] I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.” (Ezek. 36:27-29). The corn referenced here is the eternal corn. This corn is given after one has attained the salvation of the soul (1 Pet. 1:9); and it is called for by God after the people have entered the promised land (Ezek. 36:27-29).
“To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” (Rev. 2:17). The white stone follows the hidden manna; the stone and the hidden manna complement each other. The season of the fruits is the season of the manna. The first six fruits are for the life within, for you need to be kitted with the inward reward. The stone that Jesus will give can never be operational without the hidden manna; it is the hidden manna that controls the stone.
The hidden manna is the character that will ignite the character of the stone. The first six months is for the within life. This shows that the twelve manners of fruits are not of the same order. Once one has finished the first six months, one will need to eat for the next six months also; and as one is eating it, the crown of life, rod of iron and morning star will be given to one.
It will take another allocation of the fruits for one to access the crown of life, rod of iron, and the morning star (Rev. 2:27-28). One must have been kitted with all these facilities to sit on the throne. The rod of iron is not a physical tool; it is a life that is used to reign. The crown of life is the mastery of reward, which is higher than the everlasting crown. Everlasting crowns are crowns of righteousness, but the crown of life is a holy crown; it is a crown of rest on the throne (Rev. 2:10). It is this crown that gives one the access to the rod of iron.
One cannot be given the rod of iron without attaining Eternal Life; for the rod of iron cannot be activated without the presence of this life within. Thus, one will first need the inward name, the hidden manna, the white stone, and the Tree of life. When one has attained all these, one would be sealed again eternally before one can be made to seat on the throne. This eternal seal is what Jesus called His new name; and the person with such a seal can no longer depart from God.
“Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.” (Rev. 3:12). This was the name Jesus obtained after resurrection, which He will write on the head of overcomers. This new name is a seal of eternal preservation; it is an eternal seal. The inward name is for one person alone; no two people can have it. It is only he that receives it that can know it. The inward name is attached to an eternal mystery called manna. The hidden manna is what will teach one how to know his/her name.
Alongside all these resources is the right hand that will teach terrible things (Ps. 45:4). These are the terrible things in eternal righteousness; they are things of the Majesty. Majestic things are things of Eternal Life; they are the things of the throne.
“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John…” (Rev. 1:1). “Coming” is Everlasting Life while “to come quickly” is Eternal Life (Rev. 22:12). When He comes quickly, things shall be done shortly. Everlasting life is running while Eternal Life is flying. One who has attained Eternal Life will fly swiftly. However, this act of flying is a walk to him who is carrying it out; but to others, such a person is flying.
Eden is the school that makes God known. We have been sealed with everlasting life and it is by this seal that we are being taken to Eternal Life. There is still more to learn about Eternal Life. The message is both the works and reward; and the men of the end will teach both.
We have been shown Eternal Life with a blessing in it. We must keep the things that we have been shown; for they were not taught with senses but by the power of God. Nothing can shortchange you from lasting. Anyone who has heard these things and turns back cannot be useful to God.
