Garden of Eden
Location. It is impossible to locate the Garden of Delights. Even if the ravages of time left a dim outline of its glories for a few centuries, everything would have been blotted out by the flood. The thoughtful student will readily conclude that it covered a large territory. Its products were varies, and were those peculiar to every zone ( Genesis 2:8 Genesis 2:9 ). The portion of the garden over which Adam and Eve roamed in sinless bliss was doubtless in a tropical climate, for they lived there without clothing ( Genesis 1:25 ), and the fig tree grew in primitive luxuriance ( Genesis 3:7 ).
Edmondson Scripture Views of the Heavenly World is an excellent work on heaven. What is in heaven, what is not in heaven, so as to prepare the believer for when they get there.
Inhabitants. It appears that Adam was the first and lonely inhabitant of Eden. He was required to dress and keep it. To him the law involving life and death were given. All the inhabitants of earth and air passed before him, and he named them all; but for him there was not found a suitable companion, and to meet this want, the woman was created and placed in the garden with him ( Genesis 2:8-23 ).
Law of Marriage. When the woman was presented to the man, the Lord declared, in view of the fact that she was bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh, a man should leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and they should be one flesh ( Genesis 2:21-24 ). This law has never been repealed ( Matthew 19:1-9 ).

In this class, Treasury of Scripture Knowledge we show you what is and how to use TSK, Treasury of Scripture Knowledge. This work is simply a commentary of all the verses in the Bible where the author has gone through hundreds if not thousands of English study Bibles, and he has added whatever Bible references each of those Bibles had on that particular verse. As a pastor making sermons, this excellent reference tool within theWord can help you generate a very excellent sermon in a minimum of time and effort. This will leave you with a lot of extra time to pursue illustrations, commentary explanations, making structure and outline of the sermon, etc. It is a God send for preachers, really!
