Earth’s Location of the Garden of Eden, the Paradise of God

I believe that upon this earth the PLACE that would BECOME the holy city Jerusalem was the PLACE of the Garden of Eden, the paradise of God, that Adam and Eve inhabited?

I tend to believe this since the paradise of God and the tree of life will be in the heavenly Jerusalem in the new earth.

In the beginning upon the earth the tree of life stood in the midst of the garden (Gen.2:9 below).

In the "new heaven" and the "new earth" (2 Pe.3:10-13, Re.21:1, Isa.65:17), the tree of life (which stands in the midst of the paradise of God - Re.2:7 below), is in the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem (Heb.12:22, Re.22:1-2, Re.22:14 below).

I believe Bible history began with Adam and Eve in the place that would become the holy city Jerusalem and Bible history will end at the holy city Jerusalem with the battle of Gog and Magog.


Gen.2:9 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 (Re.2:7, Re.22:1-2, Re.22:14 below) also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Re.2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God (Re.22:2).

Re.22:14 Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Heb.12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion (Re.14:1), and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels.

Re.22:1 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.

Re.22:2 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.
