“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
Three places where the authority of God is manifested. The earth and fullness of it belong to God. He gave human beings stewardship responsibility over it.
First
God planted a garden eastward in the city of Eden. He planted two trees. A river came out of Eden to water the garden, and it became four rivers that flowed into the earth.
Second
The Heavenly places. God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places, Ephesians 1:3.
The heavenly place is where Adam dressed the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Jesus is now in this place serving as a High priest.
“Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens: a ministry of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.” Hebrews 8:1-2
God pitched this tent when he planted the garden eastward in Eden
Third
The paradise of God is prophetic picture of the Garden of Eden. It is uncovered.
“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. In the midst of the street of it, and either side of the river, was the tree of life…” Revelation 22:1-2
Why the prophetic image of the Lamb? The first sacrifice was fruit. The last sacrifice is the Lamb of God.
What is the significance of the Lamb? What is God saying by putting the Lamb on the throne?
The Lamb is connected with LIFE
Jesus said, the Father hath life in himself and he has given the Son to have life in himself, John 5:26
LIFE is the infinite power source. He upholds all things by the word of his power.
It flows out of the throne of God and the Lamb.
Romans 1:20 God’s eternal power can be understood by the things that are seen.
Why did God put the image of a lamb on the throne?
“For every house is builded by some man; BUT HE THAT BUILT ALL THINGS is GOD.” Hebrews 3:4
He never wanted Adam to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
He never want Adam to know good or evil. They were created to know his glory. They had eyes for him.
Go back to the Garden of Eden, God planted two trees in the midst of the Garden. One for sacrifice and one for reward.
He chose to be served with a fruit sacrifice.
He chose trees as a source. He chose the tree for the crucifixion. He chose the tree as a method to give life in paradise
Life
Many people will grieve because they missed this one GIFT, they could have been healed and delivered but they had more faith in the world’s system of things than the immeasurable gift of life.
They have no revelation of life. John 4:10 & 14, it is a well of living water.
John 7:38, rivers of living water flowing out of your innermost being.
1 John 1:1-2, the Word of Life, which is simply saying the message of life
All of these scriptures are prophetic images of the Garden of Eden.
The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is life.
