Ephesians 4:7-8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Psalm 68:18 - He gave gifts to men.
Led Captivity
Many years ago, I noticed that the Tree of Life seemed to have moved from the Garden of Eden to heaven. Revelation 22:1-2.
So why is it in heaven instead of paradise?
Many proclaim that, when we died, we go to paradise. That is what we read about at the cross with Jesus and one of the thieves.
But what about Paul who said when he died he would see Jesus, No mention of Abraham.
Romans 6:6-7, etc. speaks of being freed (from spiritual prison of sin).
Traditionally, we say that those in Paradise await the Day of Judgment.
My conclusion is that, at Jesus' resurrection, Jesus led the justified out of paradise and brought them and the tree of life to heaven.
That’s an interesting theory. My next devotional probably taps into more about what Paul is talking about.
After I discovered the Tree in Life in Heaven about 40 years ago, I wondered how it got there from paradise.
