Hebrew Word Pictures - Eden

As in many cases, we have experienced that in Hebrew word pictures, one word can have many meanings, just as an English word may have multiple meanings. The word Eden has two meanings, made of three Hebrew pictures; dalet (door or pathway), ayin (to see, know, or experience, and noon (activity or life). Our first experience with Eden is found in Genesis.

Genesis 2:8
And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

When we think of Eden, we think of paradise and perfection. This is exactly what the Garden of Eden was. It was paradise and it was perfect. In Hebrew word pictures the word Eden is synonymous with pleasant. But our shallow understand of the word pleasant is far, far away from the Hebrew word picture understanding for the word pleasant or Eden.

The second meaning of the Hebrew word picture for Eden is ÔÇ£a place of continual life where you can see or experience the door of lifeÔÇØ or ÔÇ£to personally know the judgeÔÇØ. DoesnÔÇÖt this word picture for Eden give us an understanding of what heaven is ÔÇô a place of continual life ÔÇô a place where we can see the door of life, the way (Jesus) to personally know the judge? And who is the judge? Jesus!

Once we open that door, we enter into Eden ÔÇô our eternal life.
We know that the Garden of Eden was a place of continual life. Hebrew word pictures just confirms that. For Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden was a place of continual life ÔÇô a place where they could live forever had they not sinned. Eden was a place where they could see and experience and commune and fellowship with God. It was a place where they personally knew God. Of course, all this was theirs until they sinned.

For all of us as believers in Jesus, once we take Jesus as personal Lord and Savior, we are assured of that continual life with Him in heaven. Here on earth we have a personal relationship with Jesus. We know the sweet fellowship we have here on earth but can we even begin to imagine what that will be in heaven! How much more personal can that be?
