The Garden of Eden Accidentally Just Went Viral Today... · Off The Kirb Ministries

  OK, I want you guys to look at this and then wait to see
• 0:03
  whether they found the real Garden of Eden.
• 0:06
  You don't need me to tell you that everyone has been Googling
• 0:09
  the Pyramids of Giza recently. Why?
• 0:11
  Because apparently beneath these vast pyramids are chambers,
• 0:15
  staircases, and even an underground city.
• 0:19
  But wait until you hear this theory that has just come out
• 0:22
  today. It's just been announced that a
• 0:24
  new idea has been put forward suggesting that the actual
• 0:28
  Garden of Eden. You know, the place where God
• 0:30
  placed Adam and Eve. Well, it might not actually have
• 0:33
  been Mesopotamia after all. Instead, a researcher believes
• 0:37
  it could have been in Egypt. Yes, Egypt, right near the
• 0:41
  pyramids of Giza. Now before we dive in, let's
• 0:45
  acknowledge that no one is claiming that this is solid
• 0:48
  biblical truth. But it is worth mentioning,
• 0:50
  especially when our off the curb family know that I've got a
• 0:53
  completely different viewpoints on where the real location of
• 0:56
  Eden is. This theory comes from Doctor
• 0:58
  Constantine, a computer engineer who's been exploring how ancient
• 1:03
  worldviews might help us understand Eden's possible
• 1:06
  location. He has published his research in
• 1:09
  a peer reviewed paper and draws from a wide range of sources,
• 1:13
  biblical texts, ancient Greek writings, medieval maps, and
• 1:17
  even modern geographic analysis. The fact is this Genesis tells
• 1:22
  us that a river flowed out of Eden and then divided into 4 the
• 1:26
  Gehon, the Pichon, the Tigris and the Euphrates.
• 1:29
  I know you, we probably know this already, but traditionally
• 1:32
  scholars have associated this with the region around
• 1:35
  Mesopotamia, since the Tigris and the Euphrates River are
• 1:38
  still very much real rivers today, and they're flowing as we
• 1:42
  speak. But did you know this, that the
• 1:44
  name Mesopotamia literally means between the rivers?
• 1:49
  Are you imagining this right now?
• 1:50
  Because there is an issue. Guihon and Pishon are really
• 1:54
  difficult to place. They're just not easy to
• 1:56
  identify today, and that's LED a lot of speculation over the
• 2:00
  years. Some have even suggested
• 2:02
  locations as wild as Mongolia, Florida and even outer space.
• 2:07
  But we're going to talk about that in a second.
• 2:09
  Doctor Borisov, however, has taken a different approach.
• 2:12
  He turned to medieval European maps, circular ones that showed
• 2:16
  the world encircled by a great river called Oceanus.
• 2:21
  And According to him, right at the top of those maps is
• 2:24
  Paradise, which by the way, is literally labeled Eden.
• 2:28
  He argues that if you align these ancient rivers with the
• 2:31
  geography in those maps, they match up differently.
• 2:34
  The Nile becomes the Gehon, the Indus River becomes the Pishon,
• 2:38
  and the Tigris and the Euphrates, they stay as they
• 2:41
  are. I was really struck by this part
• 2:44
  of his theory because he says that the four rivers that flow
• 2:47
  out from Eden aren't located in one tight area, but rather they
• 2:51
  span out from a central point. And what is located in that
• 2:55
  central point, according to his theory, the Great Pyramid of
• 2:59
  Giza. OK, this is the part where I
• 3:01
  have to tell you with a big smile on my face that I'm kind
• 3:05
  of not buying any of this at all.
• 3:07
  And it actually gets worse. Doctor Porosov proposes that the
• 3:11
  Great Pyramid actually stands on the original site of the Tree of
• 3:15
  life. Yes, the Tree of Life that is
• 3:17
  mentioned in Genesis. And again, I really don't buy
• 3:21
  this at all. And it's almost as if he's
• 3:23
  trying to say that the pyramids were used to block entry from
• 3:26
  Eden. But hey, you might be wondering
• 3:28
  why the pyramid? Is this just symbolism?
• 3:31
  Well, actually, he points to a scientific study done in 2012
• 3:35
  where researchers used computer simulations to study how
• 3:39
  electromagnetic charge behaves inside the pyramid.
• 3:42
  What they found was that charged particles gather at the peak of
• 3:46
  the structure, and the way those particles spread around the
• 3:50
  sensor while they form a sort of branching pattern.
• 3:53
  According to Borisov, those branches mirror the shape of a
• 3:57
  tree, specifically a tree with five distinct branches matching
• 4:01
  the layers of the beams in the pyramids, relieving chambers.
• 4:05
  He suggests this could be symbolic or maybe even literal,
• 4:09
  representing the tree of life. Now I could be totally wrong,
• 4:12
  but I just do not get this whatsoever.
• 4:15
  But it is in the newspapers today.
• 4:16
  So tell me, what do you think about it?
• 4:18
  Because as I said earlier, I do think there is a much likelier
• 4:22
  location for Eden. But let's just wait to hear the
• 4:24
  rest of what Mr. Boris says before we write him completely
• 4:28
  off. So Borisov.
• 4:29
  He also explains that the emitted energy from the pyramid
• 4:33
  in simulation interacts with the atmosphere and produces photons,
• 4:37
  flashes of light in purples and greens, which let's be honest,
• 4:40
  is a pretty cool image. He also makes the case that if
• 4:44
  we follow ancient understanding of the world, that Oceanus
• 4:48
  encircled the earth and the Eden sat at the top feeding 4 great
• 4:51
  rivers. Then the geography aligned
• 4:53
  pretty closely with Egypt. As the.
• 4:57
  Now, as doubtful as I am about all of this, and perhaps you
• 4:59
  agree with this theory, but there is actually one thing that
• 5:01
  gives him the slightest bit of credibility to his argument.
• 5:05
  Borissov references the ancient historian Josephus, who noted
• 5:09
  that the Gihon ran through Egypt and that the Pishon flowed into
• 5:13
  India, and this is what the Greeks called the Ganges.
• 5:17
  This kind of adds a weight to the Nile and the Indus being
• 5:20
  potential candidates for the four rivers mentioned in
• 5:23
  Genesis. Now if you thought that was
• 5:26
  insane, listen to this next guy's theory on where he thinks
• 5:30
  the Garden of Eden is. Author Pete Van Dyke proposes
• 5:34
  that the Garden of Eden isn't located on Earth at all, but
• 5:37
  exists in a sort of cosmic E, essentially in a realm beyond
• 5:41
  our physical world. This idea, he claims, aligns
• 5:44
  with Eden being in an eastern horizon found Near Eastern
• 5:48
  cosmology, suggesting that Eden resides in a mythical space
• 5:52
  outside human reach. I did tell you it was bonkers,
• 5:55
  didn't I? But here are some theories that
• 5:57
  I personally do believe hold a lot of credibility.
• 6:00
  But if you, on the other hand, think that the pyramids theory
• 6:03
  or even the Space 1 hold credibility, let me know.
• 6:06
  Because at the end of the video, I do want to share with you the
• 6:09
  most important thing we should always remember when we're
• 6:12
  searching for the location of Eden.
• 6:15
  But first, listen to this. Archaeologist Juris Zarins
• 6:18
  places Eden at the head of the Persian Gulf, where the Tigris
• 6:22
  and the Euphrates River converge.
• 6:24
  He identifies the Pishon River with the now dry Wadi Baton
• 6:28
  River system and the Gehon system with the Quran River.
• 6:32
  Zarin suggests that during ancient times these rivers would
• 6:36
  have encompassed a large, lush, fertile region, aligning with
• 6:41
  the biblical description of Eden.
• 6:43
  A YouTube channel that I absolutely love is Joel Kramer's
• 6:46
  Expedition Bible, and there's a fantastic video on that Channel
• 6:50
  about where he tries to find the Pishon River, building upon
• 6:54
  similar foundations. Joel Kramer, who is an
• 6:56
  archaeologist by the way, focuses on the Arabian
• 7:00
  Peninsula, particularly the area that we know today as Saudi
• 7:03
  Arabia, and he correlates the biblical land of Javilar, known
• 7:07
  for its gold, with this region. Kramer rather helpfully points
• 7:10
  out that in Saudi Arabia there is around 55 gold mines
• 7:14
  supporting the biblical depiction of Javilar as a land
• 7:18
  rich in gold. He also identifies the ancient
• 7:22
  river Wadi Al Ruma as a potential candidate for the
• 7:25
  Pishon River, suggesting that this area could be the location
• 7:29
  of the Lost River of Eden. One theory that many of you
• 7:33
  won't have heard of is by Egyptian tologist David Roll.
• 7:37
  And no, this guy does not believe that it's in Egypt,
• 7:40
  despite his job. In fact, he offers a very
• 7:43
  different perspective, proposing that Eden was located in the
• 7:47
  region of ancient Persia. He identifies that the Gehon
• 7:50
  River with the modern day Aras River, which flows into the
• 7:54
  Castle been seed rolls. Theory is that the sources of
• 7:57
  these rivers, rather than their confluences, are the key to
• 8:02
  locating Eden, placing it in the Highlands near Tabriz.
• 8:07
  I really do promise you that this brief overview that I've
• 8:10
  just done doesn't do any justice to the research of some of these
• 8:13
  guys that I've mentioned. And if you see a link in the
• 8:15
  description below, there is a much deeper dive into this
• 8:18
  topic. But for all of their scholarship
• 8:21
  and for all of their archaeological effort, no one
• 8:24
  can definitely say here it is. And maybe that's the point.
• 8:28
  After Adam and Eve were exiled, Genesis tells us that cherubim
• 8:33
  were placed at the entrance of Eden with a flaming sword
• 8:36
  guarding the way to the Tree of Life.
• 8:39
  The path was closed, not just geographically, but spiritually.
• 8:43
  Humanity wasn't just locked out of a location.
• 8:46
  We were cut off from the presence of God.
• 8:49
  So perhaps the real question isn't where is Eden, but more
• 8:54
  why can't we go back? Eden wasn't just a garden, it
• 8:58
  was a picture of perfect communion with God, where man
• 9:02
  fellowshipped with the Lord in this beautiful, tranquil place.
• 9:07
  And although we lost that paradise, the Bible doesn't end
• 9:11
  with a flaming sword. In fact, in the final pages of
• 9:15
  Scripture in Revelation, it tells us that the Tree of Life
• 9:18
  appears again, not hidden behind walls or guarded gates, but at
• 9:23
  the centre of the heavenly city, freely available to all those
• 9:28
  who belong to Jesus Christ. So maybe the better question
• 9:31
  isn't where Eden was, but who can take us back there again?
• 9:36
  And the answer is Jesus Christ. He doesn't just point us to
• 9:40
  paradise, He is the way back in. Oh my dear friend, can I ask
• 9:45
  you, are you waiting for the Lord Jesus Christ to take you to
• 9:49
  that paradise? Have you accepted the fact that
• 9:53
  there is a barrier between you and God and it's called your
• 9:57
  sin? But have you accepted the fact
• 9:59
  that Jesus Christ took that sin, put it in his own body, and died
• 10:04
  in your place on a tree on the cross so that you and I could be
• 10:08
  forgiven? Have you realized that the first
• 10:11
  Adam, he messed up and he, if you like, imputed sin unto us
• 10:16
  all. We all bear his sin because the
• 10:18
  first Adam sinned. We all sin.
• 10:20
  Now we all make a mess. We all go our own way.
• 10:22
  But the last Adam, there won't be another.
• 10:24
  The Lord Jesus Christ came in and fixed everything in the way
• 10:28
  the first Adam failed. The last Adam came in, lived a
• 10:32
  perfect life and bore our sins in his body, dying on that cross
• 10:37
  to redeem us, to buy us back. So as you remember when you read
• 10:41
  the Scripture, it says in the temple there was a big curtain
• 10:45
  that was a barrier, if you like, between man and God.
• 10:47
  He couldn't enter in. He couldn't go behind that
• 10:49
  curtain except for one day a year.
• 10:51
  As you know, we've talked about this before, but when Jesus
• 10:54
  Christ died on the cross and cried out, it is finished.
• 10:57
  What happened to that curtain? It was torn in 2 meaning the way
• 11:02
  is now. Open Access is there available
• 11:06
  through the Lord Jesus Christ because He truly is the way, the
• 11:10
  truth and the life. All friends, please put your
• 11:13
  trust in him. Please come to the Lord Jesus
• 11:16
  Christ and find out that He can restore paradise for you.
• 11:19
  He's going to make this world beautiful again.
• 11:22
  This earth is going to be perfect again, and Christ
• 11:25
  himself is going to be the King of kings and the Lord of Lords,
• 11:28
  and he's going to lead us in this new paradise.
• 11:30
  But if you refuse, let me end with one serious note.
• 11:35
  If you refuse to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, the Bible is very
• 11:38
  clear. Unless you repent, you will
• 11:41
  likewise perish, and you will stay in that state of Adam,
• 11:46
  you'll stay in your sin, and paradise will be lost
• 11:49
  forevermore, and you will serve the ramifications of that for
• 11:52
  all of eternity in a place apart from the love of God.
• 11:56
  Now you might disagree with me, but personally I don't think
• 11:59
  there's anything wrong with archaeologists and biblical
• 12:02
  scholars asking the question where did Eden once reside?
• 12:06
  As you know, this has been very brief in the overview and there
• 12:09
  is one theory that I also lean towards about Pangea the
• 12:14
  supercontinent. And also, if you want to hear
• 12:16
