Where is the Garden of eden now?

Question

OK i have 2 questions.

1) I know the Garden of Eden was located near the rivers in the middle east..i forget their names like euphartes and tigris river or something but does anyone know where it is now and of its still there or like did it vanish

2) How did adam and eve die? Did the die of old age or what?

Answer 1

1) Iraq as you say.. Eden was closed to Adam and Eve and then destroyed in the Great Flood of Noah's day.

2) They died of old age

Answer 2

It probably vanished.

Adam died at the age of 930 years. Although Eve died of a ripe old age, the bible does not mention how old she was.

If the Garden of Eden still exists, an Angel of the Lord is hiding it's entrance and we will never know until God decides to reveal it to us himself.

There were 4 rivers flowing into the Garden: They were : The Havilah, The Gihon, The Tigris, and The Euphrates.

Answer 3

The Garden of Eden was in Egypt, I believe. The rivers your referencing are the Euphrates and the Tigris. I don't believe it vanished. The bible tells us that after Adam and Eve were put out, there were Angels with swords that guarded the garden from anyone ever entering it again....all 4 corners of the Garden. So it's probably one of those uninhabited places in African that is sacred.

If you're talking about when Adam and Eve ate of the fruit, then they died spiritually right then, but they didn't physically die until later like every one else, except their life expectancy was much longer than ours....they probably lived to be like 120yo. or so.

Answer 4

Location of Eden. The original site of the garden of Eden is conjectural. The principal means of identifying its geographic location is the Bible’s description of the river “issuing out of Eden,” which thereafter divided into four “heads,” producing the rivers named as the Euphrates, Hiddekel, Pishon, and Gihon. (Ge 2:10-14) The Euphrates (Heb., Perath´) is well known, and “Hiddekel” is the name used for the Tigris in ancient inscriptions. (Compare also Da 10:4.) The other two rivers, the Pishon and the Gihon, however, are unidentified.—See CUSH No. 2; HAVILAH No. 1.

Some, such as Calvin and Delitzsch, have argued in favor of Eden’s situation somewhere near the head of the Persian Gulf in Lower Mesopotamia, approximately at the place where the Tigris and the Euphrates draw near together. They associated the Pishon and Gihon with canals between these streams. However, this would make these rivers tributaries, rather than branches dividing off from an original source. The Hebrew text points, rather, to a location in the mountainous region N of the Mesopotamian plains, the area where the Euphrates and Tigris rivers have their present sources. Thus The Anchor Bible (1964), in its notes on Genesis 2:10, states: “In Heb[rew] the mouth of the river is called ‘end’ (Josh xv 5, xviii 19); hence the plural of ro´s ‘head’ must refer here to the upper course. . . . This latter usage is well attested for the Akk[adian] cognate resu.” The fact that the Euphrates and Tigris rivers do not now proceed from a single source, as well as the impossibility of definitely determining the identification of the Pishon and Gihon rivers, is possibly explained by the effects of the Noachian Flood, which undoubtedly altered considerably the topographical features of the earth, filling in the courses of some rivers and creating others.

The traditional location for the garden of Eden has long been suggested to have been a mountainous area some 225 km (140 mi) SW of Mount Ararat and a few kilometers S of Lake Van, in the eastern part of modern Turkey. That Eden may have been surrounded by some natural barrier, such as mountains, could be suggested by the fact that cherubs are stated to have been stationed only at the E of the garden, from which point Adam and Eve made their exit.—Ge 3:24.

After Adam’s banishment from the paradisaic garden, with no one to “cultivate it and to take care of it,” it may be assumed that it merely grew up in natural profusion with only the animals to inhabit its confines until it was obliterated by the surging waters of the Flood, its location lost to man except for the divine record of its existence.—Ge 2:15.

2. A place mentioned along with Haran and Canneh as a principal trading center with Tyre, specializing in fine garments, carpets, and rope. (Eze 27:23, 24) It is suggested to be an abbreviated form of the name Beth-eden referred to at Amos 1:5. “The sons of Eden” are included among other inhabitants of places that were vanquished by the Assyrian forces (2Ki 19:12; Isa 37:12), and some consider this Eden (Beth-eden) to be the small district of Bit-adini along the middle course of the Euphrates River.

3. One of the Levites who responded to King Hezekiah’s call for reform; thereafter assigned to work under Kore, “the gatekeeper to the east,” in the distribution of the holy contributions among the priestly divisions.—2Ch 29:12; 31:14, 15.

Answer 5

For me it's my back yard. I live in NYC and am fortunate to have a private yard, it's very very special to me (and to my terrier).

But if it's actual location is in Iraq, that's good, they could use a garden of eden right about now.

It is said people lived to be very old back then , but considering the elements and where we stood in the food chain, a 30 year old man would have been an old man.

Answer 6

I heard the Garden of Eden was would now be considered in Iraq or something like that

Answer 7

I think God moved the Garden of Eden into the spiritual dimension and it is in heaven...maybe in the throne room...waiting for the end of evil and sin at the end of Revelations.

Can't prove it. :)

Adam and Eve probably died of old age. The Bible does not say anything different.
