Eden Retold

Eden, Retold.

Eden begins again. The beginning reads as this,

[So the Lord God banished them from the Garden of Eden… After sending them out, the Lord God stationed a mighty cherubim to the east of the garden of Eden . And He placed a flaming sword that flashed back and forth to guard to the way of the Tree of Life.] Genesis 3.22-24.

There is One who has been stationed outside the Gates of Eden since the beginning of time. His duty is to keep and protect. To fight for Eden. That she would remain pure, whole and beautiful. Within her borders exists the Tree of Life, whose branches are destined to heal the nations. For this cause, Eden is guarded. Set aside for the time of the End, when an invitation would be extended to all humanity. An offer to enter her holy courts once again, this time no longer stained by sin, but clean and free. The leaves of her fruit will heal this land, and prepare the Earth fit for a returning King.

And they will say, “This land that was desolate has become like the Garden of Eden…” (Ezekiel 36.35)

“I make known the End from the Beginning, From Ancient Times, what is still to come…” (Isaiah 46.10)

Eden reveals the majesty of the mundane, and a world without end. A place where sin must bow its knee and sickness does not tarry. A place where death cannot keep us, and our loved ones will never leave us.

Eden is within our reach. The flaming swords have lifted for a lost humanity to return home once again.

The heart of a King.

The blood of a Savior.

The sacrifice of God.

And it is with these things, an anthem of a new country is being heard across the lands. An open invitation to every broken heart, lost mind and sick body. This is for every man, woman and child. For every race, gender and identity. It is for every person and every name, every tribe, language and nation.

Come Home. Eden is calling.
