God places us in the Garden of Eden and gives us every good thing.
Water, light, truth, love and beauty. Herbs for healing, sweet fruits in every season and a wall of protection surrounding us.
Why do we choose to have the knowledge of good and evil, when we could choose to know only good?
We trust in our limited knowledge and wisdom and rebel against his perfect wisdom and will.
Even in our rebellion, God is a faithful Father who shows us the way. He gives us his word.
His word guides us and teaches us truth and light, love and beauty, all good things.
The Garden of Eden is not some far away, mythical place, it is real and very near, God has written the plan in our hearts.
O' that we would listen to his voice, seek only good, then he would lead us back to the garden and to peace. For his lovingkindness and mercy are everlasting.

I believe God may have put this on your heart I also agree with what you wrote here. We started in the Garden (Paradise) and this is what our Heavely Father has waiting for us. We were taken out of the Garden and it was removed, but the day will come when it will be brought back and those who have been chosen will live again in Paradise in the beauty of His garden.
And there we will be always. Praise be to YHVH!

Following the symbology of the Garden story...

GE 3:23 So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

The cherubim were guarding the way back to the garden. The way to the tree of life was prohibited until the day Temple veil was torn, (Symbolic of the body of Jesus) This was the way back into the garden and access to the tree of life. In Jesus we have eternal life.

That was the point adonaicole- instead of being led by God and following Him they now walked according to the dictates of their own minds. With Him as their focus they had no worries- they didn'y even know they were naked.Now everything was about them and they could not hear His voice clearly. Just like lucifer they fell for the temptation of exaulting self to God's level- bad mistake. They also bore fruit after their own kind thus handing down the curse.

I think you understood me perfectly. I believe there are going to be some difficult days ahead, but those who persevere and listen to God's leading will have a great reward. God's kingdom on earth with his Son as King.
