Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Kingdom and Comings of Christ: Wherein Is Explained the Prophecies of Daniel, the Predictions of Jesus With Reference to the Destruction of Jerusalem, and the Book of Revelation God established the Church of Jesus Christ in Eden immediately after the fall. Man showed his sorrow for sin by making aprons and hiding from God. When called to account, he confessed his sin, and God at once provided a Saviour - "the seed of the woman." And however brief the account given in Genesis, yet full and explicit explanations of the plan of salvation were doubtless given at once; and man was instructed as to how he was to become reconciled to God. And now, lest he should come direct to the tree of life without the mediation of Christ, and eat and live forever as he was, God "drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life." Here man was to worship God through Christ, and through him and him alone he was to "have right to the tree of life." The cherubim here are identical with those found in the tabernacle and temple with their wings shadowing the mercy-seat; and what is called a "flaming sword" here was the "shekinah," as it was called in the temple worship. And all this was not to keep man from the tree of life, but to preserve the way of the tree of life. There were symbols of Divinity perpetually present to man before the flood. In Hebrews ix. Paul speaks of these symbols, and shows that they were ordained of God until "Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us." And again: "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us." Evidently there was at the east of the garden of Eden a mercy-seat, with cherubim on either end of it, whose wings shadowed this mercy-seat, and over which was the shekinah.
