Thank you for your post!

Doesn't Genesis 2 give a different order for Creation, though? How does that fit in?

Well, without getting into a lot of detail here unless you want me to - the passages of Genesis 2 and Revelation 2 indicate that the tree of life is located in the center of paradise/Eden.

This indicates to me that Genesis 2:4 through 3:24 are describing events concurrent to Creation week, but taking place in the Spiritual realm. In the end, Adam/Eve are banished to mortality, i.e. the physical realm.

Once that distinction of Spiritual v physical was made, all the other pieces seemed to fall into place easily - for me.

Thanks for the explanation.

You know something, you're the first Christian I've met who's ever said anything about the discrepancy that makes sense to me.

Interested in the Kabbalah?
