The first three chapters of Genesis are far more than unassuming folklore, devised to amuse and instruct our youth with mythological tales of earth's origins and humanity's fall from innocence. In the context of Eden's Israeli location, these three chapters are a mountain cast into a calm sea! They are the first wave, which moves and ripples throughout the pages of scripture, and echoes into the heart of the Adam in all of us. They are a roadmap that permeates the Bible, which is entrenched into our very subconscious, providing landmarks and beacons to chart our way back home.

Like an encryption key that exposes a hidden message within an encrypted document, the Eden in Israel proposition unlocks symbolic imagery throughout the scriptures text. God's redemptivepurposes using this region and the imagery of the garden take on a whole new weight.

Follow the journey as we explore the evidence for the Eden in Israel proposition in: mitochondrial genetics; remnant images residing within ancient Sumerian and Egyptian mythology; ancient Jewish apocrypha texts like the Book of Jubilees, and within the Bible’s text. Many of the implications of this proposition are unconventional, and challenge some of the traditional concepts we have held in the scriptures, but the mysteries uncovered by this theory are nothing less than astonishing, providing a remarkable framework for understanding the message of God's Kingdom and His purposes with the land and people of Israel.
Welcome to The Living Waters of Eden

The purpose of The Living Waters of Eden is to proclaim the Kingdom of God. During the Protestant Reformation the Church returned to a more Biblically centered doctrine, but this message of the Kingdom has remained obscure and misunderstood. Historian H. G. Wells once wrote: "This doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven, which was the main teaching of Jesus, and which plays so small a part in the Christian creeds, is certainly one of the most revolutionary doctrines that ever stirred and changed human thought." The message of the Kingdom is inclusive, transcending all denominations and embracing all those who call on the name of Jesus.

It's interesting to point out how so many denominations believe that their adherent's maturity is predicated on their effective indoctrination to a specific theological platform. Yet when one assesses this list of celebrated Christians, they would find that these historical giants are theologically all over the map. Leaders like Augustine, John Wesley, Simo Mennen, Cori Ten Boom, Francis of Assisi, Jan Hus, Charles Spurgeon, Hudson Taylor, John Knox, Madam Guyon, D.L. Moody, George Muller, Charles G. Finney, John Wycliffe, C. S. Lewis, Mother Teresa, John Calvin, G.K. Chesterton, and William Seymour, all had quite different personalities, cultural backgrounds and theological convictions.

It appears that the church itself often uses the wrong kind of measuring stick, for the simplest way to describe the common traits of these remarkable people is that they all smelled, tasted, and looked like Jesus. Their hearts had been won by His mercy; they strived to know Him better through God's word; their lives are marked by a devotion to worship & prayer, and they longed to express the love they found in Christ to others. They had been conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. The correct measuring stick is first see back in the beginning, where the elements from the first unsophisticated but profound relationship with God are found within the confines Eden's orchard:

  • The River of Life - Our lif walking in and being filled with the Holy Spirit
  • The Tree of Life - Growing in an experiential knowledge of God through his word.
  • The Ground to Work - Our life of service and obedience, which is true worship.

It's the mandate of The Living Waters of Eden to call the church back to this simplicity of this relationship with God we see here in the Garden. To proclaim the inheritance that is beyond their wildest dreams or imagination that God has in mind for them in His Kingdom. An inheritance that can be won or lost, predicated on how they overcome lifes chalenges through a living faith and in so doing, conform into the very image of Christ.
