Matthew Henry John Bartlett

The bible the big story the question the big question arching over the question set up is how can we how can Adam humans get back to the garden back to God’s presence back to walking with God back home from exile. There is a gap in me and then israel in egypt in the exodus the tabernacle with the flowers and trees carved and the cherubim guarding and the temple in israel one man once a year back inside on very limited parole kings told not to enter no kings back in the garden and the exile again and again, far away even from the sketchy symbolic garden home babylon and even the symbol smashed and a corrupt replacement put in there instead. But then Jesus comes and says ‘come home’ and he is the garden and home and walking with God and the seed is planted dies rises and grows a tree with healing leaves to fill the earth.

O and death is exile Proper and there is Home to come to from there too, Jesus first.
