was a blooming garden containing the tree of immortal life.  In the end we find the tree of life again “in the midst of the Paradise of God.”  In the beginning a curse was placed upon this earth.  In the world to come “there shall be no more curse:  but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it.”  In the beginning the first Adam lost his universal dominion over the earth.  In the end we find Jesus Christ, the second Adam, crowned King of kings and Lord of lords, and reigning in triumph and glory forever.  In the beginning man was barred from the tree of life and driven from the garden of Eden.  In the end, “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
