ALL

Joel 2:3

A fire consumes before them
And behind them a flame burns.
The land is like the garden of Eden before them
But a desolate wilderness behind them,
And nothing at all escapes them.

Genesis 2:8

The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.

Indeed, the Lord will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her waste places.
And her wilderness He will make like Eden,
And her desert like the garden of the Lord;
Joy and gladness will be found in her,
Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.

The cypresses could not compare with its boughs,
And the plane trees could not match its branches.

Fire devours before Him,

And it is very tempestuous around Him.

The land

The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.

Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the

valley of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere—this was before the Lord

destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah—like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar.

Indeed, the Lord will comfort Zion;
He will comfort all her waste places.
And her wilderness He will make like Eden,
And her desert like the garden of the Lord;

Joy and gladness will be found in her,

Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.

And behind

“but I

scattered them with a storm wind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land is desolated behind them so that no one went back and forth, for they made the pleasant land desolate.”
