When Adam and Eve were ejected from the Garden, an angel was placed at the entrance to the Garden...?

Question

...to keep Adam and Eve--or anyone else--from returning to the Garden.

How long did the angel stay there?

Answer 1

The most celebrated garden of history is the garden of Eden. It seems to have been an enclosed area, bounded, no doubt, by natural barriers. The garden, located “in Eden, toward the east,” had an entrance on its eastern side. It was here that cherubs were stationed with the flaming blade of a sword, after Adam’s sin, to block man’s access to the tree of life in the middle of the garden. (Ge 2:8; 3:24) The garden was well watered by a river flowing from it and parting to become the headwaters of four large rivers. This parklike “paradise of pleasure” contained every tree desirable to one’s sight and good for food, as well as other vegetation, and was the habitat of animals and birds. Adam was to cultivate it and to keep it and eventually to expand it earth wide as he carried out God’s command to “subdue” the earth. It was a sanctuary, a place where God representatively walked and communicated with Adam and Eve; it was a perfect home for them.

Although the Bible does not state how long the cherubs remained to guard the way of the tree of life, it may have been that such an arrangement existed until the Flood, after the creation of Adam, untended by Adam, who with Eve had been driven out for their disobedience in eating from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and bad, the garden likely suffered deterioration. At any rate, it would at the latest have been obliterated by means of the Flood.

Answer 2

The tree of life is no longer in the garden. That is what the angel was placed there to protect.

as to the weepingprophet15
Jerusalem is not at the mouth of the Tigris and Euphrates.
Nice try. You got 2 points anyway.

BTW: Are there that many weepingprophets?

Cherubims and a flaming sword which turned every way were put there to keep anyone from entering back into the garden...to protect the tree of life...

Answer 5

The angel is still there. And to answer a responder's question...the Garden of Eden is located in what is modern-day Jerusalem, Israel.

Answer 6

The Bible doesn't say. But it was long enough for the garden to decay and disappear ( or not be usable any longer ) as it was.

Answer 7

I don't really know, but I would imagine that they remained there until their purpose was fulfilled or their assignment had been completed based on the Almighty's timeline.

Peace,

Hope
