The Beginning and the Past: The 6 Days of Creation and the
Garden of Eden
Hi there! I haven’t been posting for a very long time because I was busy
typing some articles for (----- ---). Oh well, at least I am typing right now.
We are now tackling a new chapter which is “The Beginning and the Past”. In
this article, I will talk about the 6 days of God’s creation.
"In
the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…” (Genesis 1:1)
As I said earlier in (paste link to who am I article)did you realize that we were created from the soil and buried from the soil when we die? (Genesis 2:7)Isn’t that amazing? God really is quite mysterious and that is one of the reasons that I study His Word, which is the Bible.
God is our role model. He is our God and He is our Lord, yet He chose to
be an example to us. He can create the whole world with a snap, but He did it
day by day and even rested!
He showed us that you and I
should not cram our work in one day and that we need to rest after several days of working.

God created Adam on the sixth day. His job was to name all the animals and beasts that God brought to him. God placed him in the Garden of Eden so he could take care of them.
The
Garden of Eden was described in the Bible in Genesis 2:8-14
Many say that the Garden of Eden is located in Iraq between the Euphrates
and Tigris rivers. I agree because there are some ziggurats around the country
which is an evidence of ancient people living there and besides Iraq was
Mesopotamia.
Mesopotamia or present-day Iraq is where Abram (Abraham) the “Father of all Nations” was born. He lived in the city of Ur now present-day Al-Nasariyah. Babylon is also located in Iraq which is now Al-Hillah. The ancient place called Sumer also lies in Iraq. Sir Leonard C. Wooley discovered tombs and artifacts of the Sumerians. He also found some ziggurats in ruins.
Hmmm… Sumerians are known for their ziggurats and they are located in Iraq. Babylon, the place where the Tower of Babel can be located, is also located in Iraq. So since they both lived on the same era, (3500 B.C.)then the Tower of Babel most probably looks like a ziggurat! So since the Tower of Babel is in Babylon, which is in Iraq, then civilization may have started there! Besides, Babylon is near the said to be place of the Garden of Eden. The name of the two rivers was mentioned on the location of the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2:14 “The name of the third river is Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is Euphrates.”
I will gather all the resources that I got from the net for you and compile it in another blog post entry so you could read the information for yourselves. See you!
