Where is/ was the Garden of Eden located?

Question

I believe it was located in northern Iraq. The Euphrates and Tigris Rivers of Iraq are mentioned in Eden's desciption in the Bible.

Answer 1

If you read the Bible, it was the East of Eden it was situated, which is, as you say Northern Iraq. Incidently, the city of Gomorrah was on the edge of the Red Sea

Answer 2

The pre-flood Garden of Eden was likely a supernatural result of God's grace. When Adam fell, the garden soon vanished.

Bur it's possible that some of the supernatural "infrastructure" still exists, but in a slightly different geographical location, due to the effects of Noah's flood.

One could make a good case that the present location of the garden, although no longer the garden itself, is on the mount of olives, just to the east of the temple mount, in Jerusalem.

This was the place where Jacob encountered the "ladder" where angels went to and fro from heaven and earth. This was the place Jesus preferred to pray, and even stay overnight. This was the place Jesus was transfigured. This was the place Jesus ascended to heaven. This is the place Jesus will return.

Answer 3

answer: the only difficulty the Bible tells us on the subject of the backyard of Eden’s region is recent in Genesis 2:10-14, “A river watering the backyard flowed from Eden; from there it grew to become into separated into 4 headwaters. The call of the 1st is the Pishon; it winds for the time of the full land of Havilah, the place there is gold…The call of the 2nd river is the Gihon; it winds for the time of the full land of Cush. The call of the third river is the Tigris; it runs alongside the east element of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.” the right identities of the Pishon and Havilah rivers is unknown, however the Tigris and Euphrates rivers are nicely widespread. If the Tigris and Euphrates stated are the comparable rivers with the help of those names right this moment, that would positioned the backyard of Eden someplace interior the middle East, possibly in Iraq. It can't be mere twist of fate that the middle East area is the place the planet grew to become into maximum lush—the situation the place the backyard of Eden grew to become into placed. If oil is, as maximum scientists have self assurance, on the whole decayed flowers and animal save in mind that has decomposed, then this is the section the place we could anticipate the appropriate deposits of the substance we call oil. because of the fact the backyard grew to become into the epitome of perfection, it stands to reason that the decomposition of the earth’s maximum appropriate and plush organic and organic components could produce vast shops of the earth’s appropriate oil. human beings have hunted for the backyard of Eden for hundreds of years to no avail. there are distinctive places that human beings declare to be the unique region of the backyard of Eden, yet we can't confirm. What got here approximately to the backyard of Eden? The Bible does not especially say. this is possibly that the backyard of Eden grew to become into thoroughly destroyed interior the Flood or that it lies decomposing into oil buried under centuries of sand deposits.

Answer 4

Supposedly, it existed in what is now Iraq, but since there was never such a place to begin with, its a moot point. Just like there was no Adam and Eve there was no Garden of Eden. There was no talking snake offering an apple to Eve - its all a fictional morality tale to make people lead good lives and to promote Judaism.

Answer 5

The Garden of Eden is presently in heaven. The Bible calls it paradise. At the time of the flood God took it to the third heaven.
2 Cor 12:2-4
"2 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.
3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the body, or out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;)
4 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."

From the above 2 verses it can be deduced that paradise is located in the third heaven. This is because the Tree of Life is located in the Garden of Eden and the Bible states in Rev 2:7 that the Tree of Life is in the "midst of the pardise of God.".
