OKEY DOKEY Steadfast WHATCHA TALK N BOUT?

I will bite the bullet and let it explode later. :D

Rev 2:7 of course is the first scripture that comes to my mind.

"Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations: To him that conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God."

I will say the Paradise of God is the Heavenly Kingdom of God made up of 144,000 and not the earthly Paradise.


But because that scripture I believe is the only one in Rev that mentions Paradise, I know you must be look n for something else.

OK Stead out with it, lets have it. :P What are ya up to. :)

The paradise is in an individuals heart,
as its the heart condition of the meek and humble which will inherit everlasting life. The heart reflects love and Jehovah is love and we love the christ and as he said to the evil doer who had a change of heart "you will be with me in paradise" its only then that the reality can be made manifest.

(Rev 2:7) Let the one who has an ear hear what the spirit says to the congregations: To him that conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.'

(Gen 2:9) Thus Jehovah God made to grow out of the ground every tree desirable to one's sight and good for food and also the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.

(Gen 3:17) And to Adam he said: "Because you listened to your wife's voice and took to eating from the tree concerning which I gave you this command, 'You must not eat from it,' cursed is the ground on your account. In pain you will eat its produce all the days of your life.

(Gen 3:22) And Jehovah God went on to say: "Here the man has become like one of us in knowing good and bad, and now in order that he may not put his hand out and actually take [fruit] also from the tree of life and eat and live to time indefinite,-"

(Gen 3:24) And so he drove the man out and posted at the east of the garden of E'den the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way to the tree of life.

(Pro 3:18) It is a tree of life to those taking hold of it, and those keeping fast hold of it are to be called happy.

(Pro 11:30) The fruitage of the righteous one is a tree of life, and he that is winning souls is wise.

(Pro 13:12) Expectation postponed is making the heart sick, but the thing desired is a tree of life when it does come.

(Pro 15:4) The calmness of the tongue is a tree of life, but distortion in it means a breaking down in the spirit.

Seems like it was in the garden of Eden.
But really I wanted to bump this topic up as I want to know what Steadfast thinks.

Is at the point that Jehovah through his Christ fully accomplishes his original poupose.
Romans 8:21 --- that the creation itself also will be set free from enslavement to corruption and have the glorious freedom of the children of God.
1 Cor 15:28 --- But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone. ;)
