Genesis Lecture 49 (The 2 Fruits) Eng.
Bible passage: Genesis 2:8-10
[8] The LORD God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. [9] Out of the ground the LORD God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. [10] Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ.
This is 49th Lecture on Genesis. In the last lecture, I explained about the Garden of Eden.

Seoul and the Seoul Grand Park are different in sizes and their purposes. By the same token, Eden and the Garden of Eden are so different. The Garden of Eden is a special place located in Eden of the 2nd Heaven. It is the place that God prepared for Adam and his descendants to live in.
There are also other special spaces in addition to the Garden of Eden in Eden of the 2nd Heaven. For example, the place where the saved souls and the Lord will have the '7 Year Wedding Banquet' is located not in the Garden of Eden, but in Eden. I mentioned about the natural environment of the Garden of Eden in the last lecture. I said that there are no clear distinctions among different seasons, that there is no night, and that the time flow can be noticed through the change of temperature.
I also told you that there are no houses for an individual or a family, but that they all take a rest in beautiful tents. In addition, even though most of them stay naked, they have no problems because they have no evil at all. Then, why do we put on clothes in the Heavenly Kingdom where there is no evil-
