Paradise on Earth

Post #1

Post by onewithhim »

When I learned that the Bible speaks of a restored Garden of Eden and the restoration of mankind to the perfection and endless life that Adam forfeited, I was thrilled. Who doesn't want to keep living on this beautiful earth, with our loved ones, and being able to do all the things we love to do---endlessly?

If God said to you today, "When do you want to die?" would you say "now!!"? I don't think very many people would say that.

We CAN live forever here on Earth. The Bible tells us that we can.

Matthew 5:5
Psalm 37:9-11,29

What does the prefix "re" mean?

If you don't know, look it up.
It can mean more than one thing, as the dictionary advises. "Replenish": "fill; store or stock."

The time for paradise is close. The signs that Jesus said would occur just before the Great Tribulation are all evident. (Matthew 24:7-15)

"When you see all these things, know that he is near at the doors." (Matthew 24:33)

What you're best guess as to what it means in the following word:

replenish (verb) -- restore to a former level or condition.
