Ellen Gould White
What does Ellen White write about...
Ellen Gould White über: "When Adam and Eve had to leave Eden, the Paradise remained on Earth until just before the Flood. Ellen White describes that Adam, with his family, came to worship before the entrance of Eden and offered his sacrifice on an altar he had erected there, facing east."
Answer
Ellen White confirms that the Garden of Eden remained on Earth for many centuries after the Fall and was visible to people. The first worshippers, including Adam and his sons, gathered at the gate guarded by cherubim, where divine glory was revealed and they erected their altars.
Only when human wickedness grew so great that God cleansed the Earth with the Flood did He withdraw the garden from the earth, to bring it back in even greater splendor at the final restoration.
Worship at the Gate of Paradise
»The Garden of Eden remained on Earth for a long time after humanity was driven from its pleasant paths. The fallen race was allowed for a long time to look upon the home of innocence, though its access was barred only by the watching angels. At the gate of Paradise guarded by cherubim, divine glory was revealed. Adam and his sons came here to worship God. Here they renewed their vows of obedience to the law whose violation had banished them from Eden.«
The First Sacrificial Sites
»And they had a silent witness to the truth in the Garden of God, which remained among people for many centuries. At the gate of Paradise guarded by cherubim, God's glory was revealed, and the first worshippers came here. Their altars were erected here and their sacrifices offered. Cain and Abel brought their sacrifices here, and God descended to communicate with them.«
The Preservation of Eden before the Flood
»The pure and lovely Garden of Eden, from which our first parents were expelled, remained until God intended to destroy the earth with a flood. God had planted this garden and especially blessed it, and in His marvelous providence He withdrew it from the earth and will restore it to the earth, more splendidly adorned than before its removal.«
