Genesis 2:9

9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Commentary

 

Resurrection, the first

  

'The first resurrection,' mentioned in Revelation 20:5, 6, does not mean a first resurrection, but the essence and primary part of resurrection, which is salvation and eternal life. There is only one resurrection to life. A second does not happen, and is not mentioned anywhere in the Bible.

Psalms 114

Study

   

1 When Israel went forth out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign language;

2 Judah became his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.

3 The sea saw it, and fled. The Jordan was driven back.

4 The mountains skipped like rams, the little hills like lambs.

5 What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?

6 You mountains, that you skipped like rams; you little hills, like lambs?

7 Tremble, you earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

8 who turned the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of waters.
