  • Our Basis for Hope in Its Restoration
    Paradise Restored to Mankind—By Theocracy!
    • He accepted as true what the prophet Moses wrote down in Genesis 2:7-14:

  • Our Basis for Hope in Its Restoration
    Paradise Restored to Mankind—By Theocracy!
    • And the name of the third river is Tigris: the same passeth along by the Assyrians. And the fourth river is Euphrates.”​—Douay Version of the Bible.

      13. What ancestors of Jesus were exiles between those two rivers, but why was Paradise not then existing in that general area?

      13 As regards the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, human ancestors of Jesus Christ, namely, Shealtiel and Zerubbabel (whose name means “Seed of Babel [or, Babylon]”), had been exiles for many years in the Mesopotamian valley that lies between those two rivers. That was during the years 607 to 537 before our Common Era. (Luke 3:23-27; Matthew 1:1, 12-16) But at that time the original Paradise of Pleasure was not in existence, in that neighborhood of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers.
