In my last blog, I said that this scripture, that God breathed into man's nostrils and he became a living soul was the most exciting verse in Genesis.  In John 20:21-22 we find another similar scripture: "Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you:  as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.  And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost."  God's breath.  So we see that God's breath is His Spirit.  Jesus was God.  His breath is His Spirit.

But let's get back to Genesis.  In Gen. 2:8-9 "And the Lord God planted a garden eastward  in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.  And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every three that is pleasant to the sight and good for food;  the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."  Four kinds of trees.

1.  Trees that were pleasant to the sight.  Beauty, simply to please us.  Dogwoods.  Redbuds.
2.  Trees that were good for food.  Nourishment, 'Meat'.  To sustain our bodies.
3.  The Tree of Life.  Eternal Life.  Which Adam never got to taste because he sinned, and was cast out
     of the garden.  " ...lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live  
     forever." Lest he should have become a 'dead man walking'.  Forever.
4.  The tree of knowledge of good and evil.  Which was not for the human species to eat.  God didn't
     plan for us to know evil.  He created us for Himself.  Perfect.

He placed man in a garden.  Heaven on earth.  A garden.
