1 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:15,610 Our reading will be portions from the book of Genesis in the 2 00:00:15,620 --> 00:00:21,320 Old Testament and Ezekiel, and in the New Testament portions 3 00:00:21,330 --> 00:00:27,860 from the Book of Revelation. Let's hear the word of the Lord, 4 00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:35,610 Genesis 2 eight to 10. And the Lord God planted a 5 00:00:35,620 --> 00:00:40,430 garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had 6 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,210 formed, and out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up 7 00:00:45,220 --> 00:00:49,050 every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. 8 00:00:50,410 --> 00:00:53,220 The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the 9 00:00:53,230 --> 00:00:55,260 tree of knowledge of good and evil. 10 00:00:56,830 --> 00:01:01,070 A river flowed out of Eden to water the garden, and there it 11 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:10,830 divided and became four rivers. Genesis 2 verse 15 to 17 The 12 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,850 Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to 13 00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:17,470 work it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the 14 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,010 man, saying, You may surely eat of every three of the garden, 15 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,570 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not 16 00:01:25,580 --> 00:01:30,650 eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die. 17 00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:36,190 Genesis 3/8 And they heard the sound of the Lord walking in the 18 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,090 garden in the cool of the day, And the man and his wife hid 19 00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:44,070 themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of 20 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:49,840 the garden. Genesis 323 to 24 Therefore the 21 00:01:49,850 --> 00:01:53,530 Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden, toward the 22 00:01:53,540 --> 00:01:58,230 ground from which he was taken. He drove out the man and at the 23 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,230 east of the Garden of Eden he placed the sherbim in a flaming 24 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,070 sword that turned every way to guard the way to the Tree of 25 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,970 life. Ezekiel, Chapter 28 Verse versus 26 00:02:11,540 --> 00:02:18,320 11 to 15. Moreover, the word of the Lord 27 00:02:18,330 --> 00:02:22,420 came to me, son of man, raised a lamentation over the king of 28 00:02:22,430 --> 00:02:27,040 fire, and say to him thus says the Lord God. 29 00:02:28,290 --> 00:02:31,920 You were the signet of perfection, full of wisdom and 30 00:02:31,930 --> 00:02:36,320 perfect in beauty.

Then I saw and you haven and a 42 00:03:23,620 --> 00:03:28,370 new earth for the 1st heaven and the first earth had passed away, 43 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:33,090 and the sea was no more.

And I heard the cloud, a loud 46 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,130 voice from the throne saying, Behold, the dwelling place of 47 00:03:46,140 --> 00:03:50,150 God is with men. He dwell with them and they will 48 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:55,080 be His people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 49 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,370 Revelation Chapter 22 versus 123. 50 00:04:01,780 --> 00:04:05,530 Then the Angel showed me the river of water, of light, bright 51 00:04:05,540 --> 00:04:09,230 as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 52 00:04:09,410 --> 00:04:13,210 through the middle of the street of the city, also on either side 53 00:04:13,220 --> 00:04:17,709 of the river, the tree of life, with its twelve kinds of fruit 54 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,410 yielding its fruit every month.
