The Earth's Renovations
The Earths Renovations
Man's Original Earth
I believe is actually earth 2. 0.
I think it is an exercise in futility to try to discover the location of the garden that God planted for man in the east of Eden today, because the earth that we live on today has been vastly reshaped since that time.
As consider the truth about the physicality of the earth and try to ascertain the beginning point from which we can orient the four cardinal directions: north, south, east. and west, I must admit that I ask questions that I cannot confidently answer.
Where was the center and what was there?
We cannot state this with complete confidence, relying upon the Holy Scriptures, because we are not directly told. We can only come to some inferences. We absolutely cannot trust history or any of the sciences, since they are completely filled with lies.
We can assume that eden was in the very center, which would make it fit in the north pole of today. However we know that in the beginning it was not frozen over. God planted a garden east of it. This begs the question to which I do not have an answer. If north is in the middle, then any direction from that central point would be south. East and west would be defined by the rising and setting of the sun.
What about now?
From observation from anywhere on the earth, TODAY, the center of the earth is directly below the central star. All of the other stars rotate around it. On today's earth, this is in the farthest point north, and we are unable to travel to it.
Many older maps show the central place in the north with four sections, which are divided by four rivers that flow into and out of a great mountain.

The Earth has been Renovated ...
... More than once. A house can have an original construction in undergo numerous complete restorations or renovations and still be the same house. It may look completely different or just partially different but it's basic foundation usually remains the same. The same is true with the earth. The record that we have of the creation of the heavens and the earth in the book of Genesis chapter 1 detail for us the creation elements that were created for us as human beings.
Earth 1. 0
When Genesis 1 tells us that God created the heaven and the earth, it tells us that water covered the earth, but does not tell us that He created it. He did, but it's creation is not a part of our creation story --that is the creation story for man.
I believe it is a part of a previous creation. We could refer to that as the foundation or the original home.
Isaiah tells us that the lord did not create the earth in vain, or empty or void.
Isa 45:18
For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
Among the original inhabitants were spirit beings.
In the details of the creation story that relates to us as mankind. We know that God created a firmament in the midst of the waters and made a solid division between heaven and earth. He he also separated the waters below from the dry land. Man was going to live on the earth, which refers to the dry land. God created man with lungs so he could breathe the air that He would create. The firmament makes this possible as well.
Keep in mind, the earth refers to dry land, the wet stuff is called seas. The spirit beings (called angels typically) were the first earth-. dwellers. There was a rebellion in heaven led by whom we believe would be called Lucifer. In his rebellion he was able to convince a third of the angels of heaven to join him in his revolt against The Most High God. Of course, his revolution was not successful and he was cast from heaven to the earth.
Before God created man as the replacement inhabitants for Earth 2. 0, we learn that the serpent was already there. The serpent refers to a spirit-form opposed to God that deceived the men that God had created.
One of the reasons that the enemy of God and his cohorts so hate man is due to jealousy. They left their primary estate and we have replaced them.
The spirit beings that God created were not created for procreation. There is never an account in the Scriptures anywhere that mentions a female angel. To further the transgression of some of these spirit beings, they decided that they would mary human women and produce offspring on the Earth 2. 0. (Anytime the angels take physical form, they appear as males).
Earth 2. 0
Read the beginning of the book of Genesis to get the basic history. I suggest that you read the first 10 chapters carefully.
Earth 3. 0
This is the earth following Noah's flood that was repopulated by Mr. & Mrs. Noah, their three sons and their three wives.
Earth 4. 0
This is the earth following what is called the second coming of Jesus Christ. The first time Jesus came to the earth, He came as the Lamb as a Sacrifice, the second time He came as the Lion as a Sovereign. As a part of His second coming to the earth there was a judgment by fire. We can still see the results of that event all across the earth.
Earth 5. 0
This final renovation of the earth is going to be amazing. We read about this in the book of Revelation. After God completely puts down the final rebellion, and the final judgment is accomplished, God will create a new heavens and a new earth. We are all looking forward to this!
