Pishon and Gihon

In the beginning...
A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters.  The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.  (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.  The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.  Rev 2:10-13


At the return...
The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name.  Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.  Rev 3:12-13



And these signs will accompany those who believe...
In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Mark 16:17-18

The Return to Havilah - Virgin promise land of the Church


The LIGHT shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it...  The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.  He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.  John 1:5,9-10


Havilah, The Virgin Promised Land
A RIVER watering the garden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters. The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.  The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.  The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.  Ge 2:10-13



Tabernacle and coming Holy City, The New Jerusalem
To the angel of the church in Pergamum write...whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give that person a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to the one who receives it.  I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich...And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, The New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God...the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.  The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass...The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it LIGHT, and the Lamb is its lamp.  The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it...the angel showed me the RIVER of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city.  Rev 2:12, 17; Rev 3:8, Rev 21:18-25, Rev 22:1
