APPENDIX 255
NoTs 7. (See page 42)
Although God put a flaming sword east of the Garden
of Eden, to keep Adam and Eve from partaking
of the tree of life, yet now in the near future the
entire earth will be made like unto the Garden of
Eden when the Lord has lifted the curse from mankind
and from the earth itself. "Then shall the earth
yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall
bless us. God shall bless us; and all the ends of the
