Genesis 2:8-14, Revelation 22:1-2
The flood changed the entire earth, but there was nine witnesses of the earth before and after the flood (Noah and his family)
Vs. 8: Eastward in Eden
In order for us to determine where “eastward” is, we need a second reference point, which is not given
Eastward could be translated as a time word instead of as a place. It could be the word “before” in the old
language.
Vs. 9: Tree of Life
God placed Adam & Eve and gave them dominion over everything in the garden, including this tree.
Vs. 10: River of Life
One river came out of Eden, and it parted into four separate rivers.
Vs. 11 & 12: River #1 - Pishon
It was in a land of gold
It could’ve flowed possibly to Egypt and Ethiopia
Vs. 13: River #2 - Gihon
Currently, the Gihon River is located now around Jerusalem
Before the flood, it possibly flowed to Ethiopia
I Kings 1:33,38, 45

River #4 - Euphrates
Flows to the Persian Gulf
