Genesis Article Guide

At a Glance

This study presents Eden as the center of biblical sacred-space theology: the primordial temple mountain where God dwelt with humanity and commissioned human beings as royal priests. It traces the garden’s sanctuary imagery, Adam’s vocation, the serpent’s divine-council setting, Second Temple interpretations of cosmic rebellion, and the promise-plan’s movement toward Christ and the New Jerusalem.

What This Study Explores

  • Eden as the archetypal temple and cosmic mountain
  • Adam and Eve’s royal-priestly commission to serve and guard sacred space
  • The serpent as a rebellious divine throne guardian
  • The three cosmic rebellions in Second Temple Jewish interpretation
  • Tabernacle and Temple patterns as movements back toward Eden
  • Christ as the last Adam, priest-king, and restored sanctuary
  • The New Jerusalem as creation’s final, restored Holy of Holies
