CHAPTER

One

If Heaven Were a Perfect Place, and It Is, How Did Sin Originate There?

If heaven were a perfect place, and it was, and it is, as it will always be, then how did sin originate there? Yes, sin did originate in the third heaven, the heaven where God, his Son Jesus, and his holy angels live. Revelation 12:7 says, And there was a war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels. Verse 8, And prevailed not; neither was there place found any more in heaven . Verse 9, And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. So the scriptures are clear about where Satan came from, and this could also be the reason why the whole earth was water in the beginning when God began to create and call f orth.

Genesis 1:1 states, In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. Verse 2, And the earth was void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Water, as we know, purifies, so when God began to create and call forth in the earth, he first purified it with water and the washing of his Word (Ephesians 5:26). Although the verse is about Paul speaking to the husbands loving their wives, God’s Word applies and is true here. When God spoke this world into creation, his Word sanctified it and set it aside for his covenant people to have a spirit-to-spirit relationship with his greatness. So great is God that he had a desire to share it with a covenant people, a people that had his heart, and his mind. So multifaceted, so vast, so wide, so deep, so rich, so loving is God that he could not keep him to himself.

But let’s get back to the sin and the war that took place in heaven. Genesis 2:9 says, And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food: and that the tree of life also was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. So the tree of life, as well as the tree of knowledge of good and evil, did not grow but was placed there by God himself.

Revelation 22:1–2 states that God shows John a pure river of water of life, as clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. Verse 2 tells us that in the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was THE TREE OF LIFE. Revelation 2:7 says that to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Therefore, if the tree of life is in the third heaven with God, where one day we will be able to eat of it, then this tree of life is the same tree of life that was in the Garden
