Bible Question:
Greeting Tim Moran you are not specified about the Eden here. see Ezekiel 31:9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him why eden is specified here ? why should envied him come here ? did u notice the same type of word are coming in 14:8 Yea, the fir trees rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us. 14:9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. can u explain them by verse by verse with scriptures.did they are written literally or did they have some significance or secret.it is a prophetic book. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Tjkathiresan! The 'Garden of God' or 'Eden' is used in a general sense in the Old Testament of a state of blessing, especially when it concerns nations. For instance, 1) Gen. 13:1 - "Lot looked up and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan was well watered, like the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, toward Zoar. (This was before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)" 2) Is. 51:3 - "The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins; he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the LORD. Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing." 3) Ez. 36:35 - "They will say, 'This land that was laid waste has become like the garden of Eden; the cities that were lying in ruins, desolate and destroyed, are now fortified and inhabited.'" So, Ez. 36:8-9 is simply saying of Assyria that no nation, no matter how blessed, could compare to Assyria and that all nations envied Assyria. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
