Where is it written that Adam in God's Garden of Eden was in the third heaven? You are making that up.
In Genesis 2, God's Garden of Eden was ON EARTH. And that is where God formed Adam from the dust of the GROUND. As shown in Ecclesiastes 12:5-7, our flesh is made from the earthly elements, and the earth is where God formed Adam's flesh.
Another proof that God's Eden was ON EARTH when He formed Adam was the fact that God's River in Eden flowed out to feed four other rivers UPON THE EARTH, two of which are still on earth today, Euphrates and Tigris (or Hiddikel). This is what Genesis 2 shows.
Once Adam and Eve had sinned, it was then that He cast them out of His Garden that was ON EARTH, and then placed Cherubim (plural) to guard the tree of life, which including MOVING His Eden OFF THE EARTH to the hidden dimension where it is now, the heavenly.
This is why in the future of God's Kingdom under Christ, God's Eden and His River with the tree of life is prophesied to return TO THIS EARTH, in final (Ezekiel 47; Revelation 22).
You did not respond to my excellent rebuttal.
I love the Word of God and I read it with “open eyes”.
So, the 4 rivers are still on earth, and the River that came out of Eden and watered the Garden and then became the “head waters” of 4 rivers on earth was and is an atmospheric river. Atmospheric rivers can carry more water than the Amazon.
We lived in the Pacific Northwest for decades and we had an atmospheric River called the Pineapple Express come out of “heaven” above the Hawaii area and dump on us about Thanksgiving every year.
It also would dump on California, some years.
The atmospheric river that came out of Eden was fed by the waters above the heavens, which you can read about in Genesis 1, day 2, of creation week.
And as to Eden: it is also called the holy Mount Zion of the heavenly realm in the ancient writings, and it is in the third heaven, and that was formed on day 2, also, of creation week, when the heavens were stretched out between the cut in two elemental waters of creation and half lifted above the stretched out heavens and half remaining below the stretched out heavens.
It all started right here, on this earth, which is the center of God’s creation.
So in the stretched out heavens, which are stretched out in stories/layers, as the Word states, there is Mount Eden, where God’s Garden is planted, in which Adam was taken and set to be a guardian there, as the original Hebrew wording clearly states.
Use the concordance and look at the words used for Adam being taken to the Garden of God/Paradise, in which He would have remained as the high priest and high king of earth, over his kingdom which the Creator made for him to reign over, with free going back and forth forever....
That is to be restored in the New Man Name, and going up and down will commence when the veil is removed that is spread over all the nations and heaven is opened to our eyes again.
And Paul said he was caught up to the third heaven, to Paradise/God’s Garden, in 2 Cor...
Jesus said the Tree of Life is in the midst of the Paradise of God, and that is where it always has been, from the beginning of creation.
As to Paradise ever being on this earth below the heavens: there is not one single Scripture that teaches that, but much to be found in the facts of where it was and still is.
2 Cor 12:2-4
I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth) such an one caught up to the third heaven.
And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth)
How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Rev 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
And FYI: modern men did not understand atmospheric rivers until not so many years ago, "
