For so many years, there have been chronic questions about the exact location of the first residence of man on the earth, known in the Holy Bible as the Garden of Eden. The Garden of Eden is not a heavenly domain or something spiritual. (Unseen).
The Bible puts in words that God created an unprecedented place and leeway in the manner made after a garden. A garden suitably made to accommodate the man who was created by God.
In Gen 2:8, “And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.” The eastward would have been east of where he created Adam. But we can not assert in findings the place in which the development was brought about.
It seemed to be a confidential portion of theorizing where man was made by God. But in the subsequent verse, we are put in a chance of well to get the location of the Garden of Eden if not agree with in totality.
In Gen 2:10, “And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.” In connection to the verse was the mention of some rivers and these were; Pishon, which passed through Havilah, and Gihon, which passed through the whole land of Ethiopia, and Hiddekel which passed through the east of Assyria, and the fourth which is named Euphrates.
The Bible made the citation of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is an ancient country in the Eastern part of Africa. It has hookups with some fundamentals in history, But should we because of this fact situate the Garden of Eden somewhere around the verge of Ethiopia?
In one of my premature findings on this subject about six years ago, it was discovered that the Garden of Eden was somewhere around the plain of Babylon between the River Tigris and Euphrates. Likewise, the Garden of Eden should geographically be around the Persian Gulf of Old and or chiefly between the skeleton of Ethiopia’s borders and the Yemen of today.
Some observations affirmed my premature findings about the exact location of the Garden of Eden on Earth. But it seems complex to admit that fact beyond any form of proof. A lot of emergencies of time have slithered in as they adjust the geographical coordinates of the entire world.
What are these emergencies? There have been considerable cataclysmic changes in the Earth’s surface and landscape which have altered the initial appearance and position of mountains, rivers, land, and sea. The flood in the time of Noah has necessarily affected the finding of the exact location of some places, part of which was the historic sites of the Garden of Eden.
Genesis 7: 17 – 18.“And the flood was forty days upon the earth, and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lifted above the earth. And the waters prevailed greatly upon the earth, and the ark went upon the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.” The flood had a devastating phase as some elements were destroyed and this meant well for the topography shift and its altering.
In the days of Peleg, the Bible recorded the geographical division of the world. This time would be kind of significant, but few comments were given to the point. This time, no doubt would have done a kind of disservice to the discovery of the exact location of the Garden of Eden.
Another substantial point that tends to be the intricacy of knowing the exact location of the Garden of Eden was the result of what was later found to be a continental drift — a new phenomenal project. Even with the belief that the continents are still drifting. But the Bible never had any comment about the theory if it should be true.
The only reference to the division of the world is interestingly the time of Peleg, the Bible says in Gen 10: 25, “In his days was the earth divided.” The division would have had a great deal against the subject of our discussion.
Attention should be brought to the protection God immediately procured after he banished Adam and Eve from the said Garden of Eden. In Gen 3: 24, “So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”
The Tree of Life was in the Garden of Eden, so, God was mindful of any development that might later surge to the effect which had already taken place. This is an assertion that nobody has ever gotten the exact location of the Garden of Eden afterward.
However, with the various discoveries made and proven, yet, it is established that the exact location of the Garden of Eden is potentially not known, except on mere assumptions based on some existent factors that had already been altered. The exact location of the Garden of Eden can never be gotten today despite the fact of technological advances.
