THE RETURN TO EDEN

And Jehovah proceeded to answer me and to say: "Write down the vision, and set it out plainly upon tablets, in order that the one reading aloud from it may do so fluently."  For the vision is yet for the appointed time, and it keeps panting on to the end, and it will not tell a lie.  Even if it should delay,  keep in expectation of it, for it will not be late.    Habakkuk 2:2  for faith is not the possession of all people  2Thessalonians 3:2
 
Matthew 6
Our father in the heavens, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not in to temptation, but deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom and the power forever.  Amen

For the meek will inherit the earth
and reside forever upon it.  Psalms

Hebrews
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.  He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.  After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

For to which of the angels did God ever say,  "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"?  or again,  "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"?  And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, "Let all God's angels worship him."  Of the angels he says,  "He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire."  But of the Son he says,  "Your throne, O God,  is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.  You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, you God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions."

The Story of Satan Ezekiel 28:11

And the word of Jehovah continued to occur to me, saying: "Son of man, lift up a dirge concerning the king of Tyre, and you must say to him, "This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said:

"You are sealing up a pattern, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty.  In Eden, the garden of God, you proved to be.  Every precious stone was your covering, ruby, topaz and jasper; chrysolite, onyx and jade; sapphire, turquoise and emerald; and of gold was the workmanship of your settings and your sockets in you.  In the day of your being created they were made ready.  You are the anointed cherub that is covering, and I have set you.  On the holy mountain of God you proved to be.  In the midst of fiery stones you walked about.  You were faultless in you ways from the day of you being created until unrighteousness was found in you."Because of the abundance of your sales goods they filled the midst of you with violence and you began to sin.  And I shall put you as profane out of the mountain of God, and I shall destroy you, O cherub that is covering, from the midst of the fiery stones.

"Your heart became haughty because of your beauty.  You brought your wisdom to ruin on account of your beaming splendor.  Onto the earth I will throw you.  Before kings I will set you, for them to look upon you."

Satan would misrepresent god to his creatures (Genesis 3:1-5) and he would try to make god question the motives of his subjects.(Job 1:7-11)  Soon god would expel Satan from heaven and Satan would begin residing on the earth.

The War in Heaven

7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 10And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 11And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. 12Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.

"He was a man slayer from the beginning."  The Bible speaks of him as being.(John 8:44)

The Order of Resurrection

     20But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. 21For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. 23But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming, 24then comes the end, when He delivers up the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. 26The last enemy that will be abolished is death. 27For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. 28And when all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, that God may be all in all.

The Thousand Years

1Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit^a and a great chain. 2And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, 3and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.

4Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years.

The Defeat of Satan

7And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison 8and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. 9And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven^b and consumed them, 10and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Judgment Before the Great White Throne

11Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. 12And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. 13And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. 14Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

1 CORINTHIANS 2:9

But just as it is written: "Eye has not seen and ear has not heard, neither have there been conceived in the heart of man the things that god has prepared for those who love him."

Genesis 3:14

And Jehovah God proceeded to say to the serpent: "Because you have done this thing, you are the cursed one out of all the domestic animals and out of all the wild beasts of the field.  Upon your belly you will go and dust is what you will eat all the days of your life."  And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed .  He will bruise you in the head and will bruise him in the heel.

GENESIS 3:20

After this Adam called his wife's name Eve, because she had to become the mother of everyone living.  And Jehovah God proceeded to make long garments of skin for Adam and for his wife and to clothe them.  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...With that Jehovah God put him out of the garden of Eden to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken.  And so he drove the man out and posed a the east of the garden of Eden the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way to the tree of life.

What was the Jubilee year and what does it teach us about human nature?

Starting with the time of entering the Promised Land, the nation of Israel was to count six years during which time the land was sown, cultivated and harvested, but the seventh year was to be a sabbath year, during which the land must lie fallow. In the seventh year no sowing or pruning could be done. Even the growth from kernels of grain spilled during the harvest of the previous year could not be reaped, and they were not to gather the grapes of their unpruned vines.  Grain and fruit that grew of itself would be available to the owner, his slaves, hired laborers, alien residents and the poor.  Domestic animals and wild beasts also were allowed to eat of it.  (Lev. 25:2-7;  Ex. 23:10,11)  Seven of these seven-year periods (7x7=49) were to be counted, and the following year, the fiftieth, was to be a Jubilee ear.  It shared features of the sabbatical year.  The land again had complete rest.  The same regulations applied to the produce of the land. (Lev. 25:8-12)  This meant that the produce of the forty-eighth year of each fifty year cycle would be the primary source of food for that year and for a little over two years following, until the harvest of the fifty-first, or the year after the Jubilee. Jehovah' special blessing on the crop in the sixth year resulted in a crop yield sufficient to furnish food through the sabbath year. (Lev. 25:20-22)Similarly, God provided a bountiful and sufficient harvest in the forty-eighth year to supply the nation through the sabbath year and the Jubilee that followed, if the Jews kept his law.

The Jubilee was in a sense an entire year of festival, a year of liberty.  The keeping of it would demonstrate Israel's faith in their God Jehovah and would be a time of thanksgiving and happiness in his provisions.   AID TO BIBLE UNDERSTANDING WT publication

The Jubilee law taught the need for forgiveness in a practical sense-food and wealth, not just a statement of forgiveness.  It showed human nature as deficient, as unable to keep from dept and getting behind in life and the need for forgiveness to straighten life out.
