“And it came to pass after these things that God did tempt Abraham, and said to him Abraham: and he said, ‘Behold, here I am. And he said, Take now your son, your ONLY son Isaac, whom you love, and get to the land of Moriah: and offer him there for a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will tell you of vs.1-2

“And on the 3rd day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place afar off.” vs. 4 (Abraham saw into the future where God’s own Son was crucified)

Mt. Moriah is Jerusalem

“ Abraham called this place Jehovah –Jireh: as it is said to this day, In the Mt of the Lord, it shall be seen.” (vs 14)

Jacob’s Dream- Genesis 28

“And Jacob went out from Beer-Sheba, and went toward Haran. And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set: and he took of the stones of that place and put them for his pillow, and lay down in that place to sleep.

After he dreamed and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached and descending on it.”

And behold, the Lord stood above it, and said ‘I am the Lord God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon you lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed. And your seed will be as the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west, to the east, to the north, and to the south: in you and in your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.” (vs. 10-14)

“And Jacob wakened out of his sleep and said, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not.” And he was afraid and said, ‘How dreadful is this place’ This is none other than the House of God, and this is the gate of heaven.’ (vs. 16-17)

Jesus Was Crucified on the Mt of Olives Facing Jerusalem!

Page 17: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

“And after He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward Heaven as He went up, behold 2 men stood by them in white apparel, which also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up to Heaven?

This same Jesus, which is taken up from you to Heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into Heaven; Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mt. called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath’s day journey.” Acts 1:9-12

He Ascended to Heaven From the Mt. of Olives

The Tree of Life

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and

Evil

There was only One Rule They Could Disobey…

“Adam, of every tree of the Garden, you may freely eat, BUT of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, you shall NOT eat of it: for in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die.” Genesis 2 :16-17

Page 26: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

“And when the woman saw that the tree was

good for food, and that it was pleasant to the

eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took fo the fruit and did eat, and

gave also to her husband with

her; and he did eat.

“And the eyes of them both were opened, and

they knew that they were naked, and they

sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.”

(Genesis 3: 6-7)

Walking in the Garden in the cool

Page 28: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

“And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of Life, and eat and live forever:” Gen 3:22

Adam and Eve Cast out of Garden and God’s Presence

Page 31: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

Just as Adam and Eve were

in great agony after experiencing the

consequences of sin - Separated from God’s

Presence!

So Jesus was in great agony over the great price He would soon pay for our

sins.

It all Happened In the Garden!

How Can We Know Jerusalem is the Center of

the Garden of Eden?

Back to Genesis

Where it Begins is Where it will be finished...

Page 34: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

“And a River ran out of Eden to water the Garden, and from thence it parted becoming 4 heads: the Pison, the Gihon, the Hidekel and the Euphrates” 2:1-14

The Tigris and Euphrates frame the Mesoptamia Area, while the Pison and the Gihon are now subterranean rivers, all originating from The Garden of Eden. Ezekiel 47:1-12 talks about the supernatural River that will flow from the Temple of God and heal the land of Israel. Revelation 22:1-2 declares the same!

Page 35: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

God Cuts Covenant with Abram Jerusalem Again! Genesis 15 “And God said to Abraham, ‘Take Me a heifer 3 years old, and a ram 3 years old a turtledove and a young pigeon”

And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece against the other: but he did not divide the birds”

And when the fowls came down on the carcases, Abram drove them away. And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram: and lo, a horror of great darkness fell on him.”( vs. 9-12)

“And it came to pass, that when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. “ (vs. 17)

Page 36: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

“In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying ‘Unto your seed have I given this Land, from the River of Egypt to uto the great river, the Euprates.”

The Eternal Land Covenant God Cut with Abram – Genesis 15:18

Page 37: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

The Rivers Also Mark the Boundaries of New Jerusalem – Revelation 21

“And the city lies foursquare, the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the City with the reed, 12,000 furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.” Revelation 21:16 1500 miles x 1500 miles x 1500 miles!

Page 38: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

“Behold, the man is become as one of Us, to know good and evil: and now lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the Tree of Life and eat, and live forever” Gen.3:22

“Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden to till the ground from whence he was taken.” Gen 3:23

Page 39: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

“And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also to her husband with her and he did eat.” Gen 3:6 “And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” (vs. 7)

What if the leaves and the fruit came off the same fig tree?

Page 40: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

Bethphage is the back side of the Mt. Of Olives where Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey. And the people came to greet Him, waving palm branches and singing,“Hosanna, Blessed is the King of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord.” John 12:13Zech

9:9

Psalm 118:25-26“And when they were near to

Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mt. of Olives, then Jesus sent 2 disciples, saying to them, ‘Go to the village against you and right away you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me.” Matt.21:1-2

“So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way , to keep the way of thE Tree of Life.” Genesis 3: 23

Page 43: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

The Veil separates the Holy Place from the Holy of Holies where the Presence of God dwells. Before Jesus’ crucifixion, only the High Priest could enter on the Day of Yom Kippur to apply blood for the atonement of the Nation of Israel.

Page 44: Jerusalem Belongs to the Lord! ….It is His Place!

Notice the 2 Cherubim on the Veil guarding the Holy Place Just like in the Garden of Eden. …..They are protecting the Presence of God!

And in that Day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people; all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered against it. (Zechariah 12:2-3)

“And I will pour upon the House of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of Grace and Supplications: and they shall look on Me at whom they have pierced. And they shall mourn for Him as one mourns for an only Son, and shall be in bitterness for Him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” Zechariah 12:10

The Tribulation Will Bring Israel to Her Messiah – Yeshua

“ Why do the heathen rage, And the people imagine a vain thing? The Kings of the earth set themselves And the rulers take counsel together,

Against the Lord And His Anointed One(Christ!), saying ‘Let us break their bands asunder, And cast away their cords from us”
