“I Feel Like Havin A BBQ” (Part 2 time to cook!)

 

In the scripture we read yesterday (Genesis 10:10-14) we had the headwaters of four rivers that watered the Garden of Eden and science says that those headwaters were in the vicinity of Iraq somewhere.  Now we also discussed the Living Water (Multiple Scriptures from Old and New Testaments) which is the Holy Spirit of God flowing.  Here comes the sizzle as we flip this big old hunk of meat.  Let’s put on our spiritual glasses.  Their are 4 main religions in the world, Christian, Jew, Muslim, Pagan, all of these religions have one common place that is considered Holy Ground.  Where do all of these meet?  One other science note here.  One of the four rivers that was supposed to meet at the headwaters is not really  close to the other three so that 4th river was very controversial.  But their Holy places are all condensed into the city of Jerusalem at the temple mount.  For Christians the Church of the Holy Septicure, for the Jews it is the Wailing Wall, the Muslims the Temple that covers the rock that Abraham was to sacrifice his son Isaac.  They all are within a few yards or feet in some cases of one another and there has been hundreds of years of conflict over whose is whose.  They all have a common belief in a One and all Powerful God and we all disagree on bits and pieces of our Holy books.  Now let me get something straight right now.  I believe that the Holy Bible is the final authority in all things and God breathed.  Time to turn the meat.  All religions recognize Jesus as either, Savior, prophet, teacher, or good man.  I think that in end times the headwater will again appear but not where science is saying.  I believe that Jerusalem is the headwaters because who is the Living Water?  The headwaters is where Jesus was hung on the cross and resurrected from the dead.  The Living Waters flow from Him who was slain.  The end and the beginning the Alpha and Omega.  You see the Garden of Eden was closed permanently because of our sin and God made it so.  We will never again be allowed to enter it.  BUT, God does promise a NEW Garden and in this garden there will be a Headwater that the Living Water will flow from freely.  So as you are in your prayer closet ask the LORD to enlighten you on where He is planning to put His new garden.
