THESIS 91: EDENIC RESTORATION

The Prophets foretold the future Edenification of the Earth by speaking of Eden, the Mountain of the Lord.[315] These prophecies are now coming to pass: We now have access to the Tree of Life[316] because Christ, in His death on the Tree,[317] removed the Curse brought about by the First Adam.[318] We have been re-admitted to the Holy Mountain (#7) and placed in the wide open spaces[319] of the Garden of the New Jerusalem;[320] our task is now to perfect it.[321]
