Unchecked Copy Box Gen 1:16

God made the two [fn]great lights, the greater [fn]light [fn]to govern the day, and the lesser [fn]light [fn]to govern the night; He made the stars also.

God placed them in the [fn]expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,

[fn]This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:5

Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the LORD God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to [fn]cultivate the ground.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:6

But a [fn]mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole [fn]surface of the ground.

The LORD God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:9

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.

Now a river [fn]flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four [fn]rivers.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:11

The name of the first is Pishon; it [fn]flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:12

The gold of that land is good; the bdellium and the onyx stone are there.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:13

The name of the second river is Gihon; it [fn]flows around the whole land of Cush.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:14

The name of the third river is [fn]Tigris; it [fn]flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the [fn]Euphrates.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:15

Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:16

The LORD God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely;

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:17

but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not [fn]eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.”

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:18

Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper [fn]suitable for him.”

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:19

Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the [fn]sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:20

The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the [fn]sky, and to every beast of the field, but for [fn]Adam there was not found a helper [fn]suitable for him.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:21

So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:22

The LORD God [fn]fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:23

The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
[fn]She shall be called [fn]Woman,
Because [fn]she was taken out of [fn]Man.”

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:24

For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

Unchecked Copy Box Gen 2:25

And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
This was the design of God’s Kingdom.
First, it has a God,himself.
Second, it has an image in the middle of the kingdom.
Thirdly, It has a land.
Can you see it? This is told,shown many times thru out the old testament, even a whole book of Leviticus is dedicated to it. This was God’s goal for his world, people, and land.
Now if this was God’s plan from the start for his kingdom, and He is not ever-changing, then why would he do anything else but do this design? This is His Desire. period.
So why is it that we are believing in something else that God is worried about that does not include this in the final desire of God’s heart to do?
He is re-establishing His eternal purpose of His Kingdom, people, and land!
