Of what this huge ark was to be built was made plain by Jehovah:  “Make for yourself an ark out of wood of a resinous tree [literally, trees of gopher].”  (Genesis 6:14)  This resinous wood here prescribed is thought by some to be cypress or a similar tree.  In that part of the world what today is called cypress was in abundant supply; it was particularly favored for shipbuilding by the Phoenicians and by Alexander the Great, as it is even down to the present time; and it is especially resistant to water and decay.  Doors and posts made of cypress are reported to have lasted 1,100 years.  In addition, Noah was told not merely to caulk the seams but to “cover [the ark] inside and outside with tar.”

Simple.  Christ was ready, the tree was not.  Be ready when Christ comes asking something of you.  Remember, it is God, your life should revolve around Him, not things of this world.

There is a location in present-day Iraq that the locals associate with the biblical garden of Eden. (I think I saw this in National Geographic.) This is understandable since Mesopatamia is known as the cradle of civilization. Today, garden of Eden is usually understood more in a literary sense than an actual historical one.

Olive trees were a common tree in Biblical times. The wood was used as seen in the previous verses posted by others. Also, probably more important symbolically was the tree or oil itself. For example, the two witnesses in the books of Revelation and Zechariah are called the two olive trees. Olive oil was used to burn for light, also was used in annointing such as annointing kings and priests etc. Olive oil seems to be used a number of  times when speaking about the Spirit of God. Not sure if this means it is a symbol for the Spirit or not, but does seem to be related somehow.  Also of interest is when Noah sent the dove out from the Ark it brought back an olive leaf. Here is a search on olive tree for you... \n\nhttp://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/?search=olive+tree&searchtype=all&version1=31&spanbegin=1&spanend=73\n\nYou can also do a search on other terms such as olive oil, annoint, oil, olive branch, olive, etc.\n\nHope this helps

God created mankind good and gave them all they needed in the garden of Eden. Imagine how wonderful it must have been. There was no curse, no pain, no weeds and thorns to pick, no burning sun to sweat under and no difficulties with the animals. Even the mosquito's didn't bite. God gave them a paradise but one thing He would not give up was that He was God, not them. And so He gave them the command not to eat from one of the trees so that they might always know that He was God. Imagine only one of all the trees. How much easier could it have been. He could have kept all the trees and told them they could only eat potatoes or something after all they were His, He made them. But when Satan tempted them and said "you will be like God!" they disobeyed. Not because they just wanted to eat but wanted to be like God robbing Him of His honor. We get upset just when someone is driving to slow in front of us. How much more does God have a right to maintain His honor. We are only creatures after all. Plus God is perfect, and Holy. If He didn't keep His word (He told them they would be punished), He would be a sinner and not a Holy and Righteous God. He had no choice but to keep His word. On top of that He has also given a way to be forgiven by sending one to pay the price. Seems like merciful and Good God to me. I know I'm not perfect.

Because someone told Adam and Eve they were naked!\n\nBereshit - Genesis vs.\n24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife, and they shall be one flesh.\n\n25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.\n\nthen >>>\nBereshit - Genesis\nChapter 3\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which HaShem G-d had made. And he said unto the woman: 'Yea, hath G-d said: Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'\n\n2 And the woman said unto the serpent: 'Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat;\n\n3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, G-d hath said: Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.'\n\n4 And the serpent said unto the woman: 'Ye shall not surely die;\n\n5 for G-d doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as G-d, knowing good and evil.'\n\n6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.\n\n7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves girdles.\n\n8 And they heard the voice of HaShem G-d walking in the garden toward the cool of the day; and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of HaShem G-d amongst the trees of the garden.\n\n9 And HaShem G-d called unto the man, and said unto him: 'Where art thou?'\n\n10 And he said: 'I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.'\n\n11 And He said: 'Who told thee that thou wast naked?

Creation of Satan. Satan was created sometime before Adam and Eve. Genesis does not tell us exactly when this happened, but we know that this is true since we see Satan for the first time in Genesis 3:1. Adam and Eve are alive, and Satan appears in the form of a serpent.\n \n  Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said to the woman, “Indeed, has God said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” (NASB) Genesis 3:1  \n \nThe book of Revelation tells us that Satan, the dragon, or the devil, appeared as a snake or serpent.\n \n  And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. (NASB) Revelation 12:9  \n \nIn Ezekiel 28:13 we discover that he was a created being - a beautiful angel. He is a wicked angel.\n \n  You were in Eden, the garden of God; Every precious stone was your covering: The ruby, the topaz, and the diamond; The beryl, the onyx, and the jasper; The lapis lazuli, the turquoise, and the emerald; And the gold, the workmanship of your settings and sockets, Was in you. On the day that you were created They were prepared. You were the anointed cherub who covers, And I placed you there. You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked in the midst of the stones of fire. You were blameless in your ways From the day you were created, Until unrighteousness was found in you. By the abundance of your trade You were internally filled with violence, And you sinned; Therefore I have cast you as profane From the mountain of God. And I have destroyed you, O covering cherub, From the midst of the stones of fire. (NASB) Ezekiel 28:13-16 \n \nHe was the anointed cherub who used to cover God. A cherub is not a baby angel but a powerful angel with wings (Ezekiel 10:2). The word cherubim refers to more than one cherub (Exodus 25:19). They appear for the first time in Genesis 3:24 when God commanded some of them to guard the Garden of Eden to prevent Adam and Eve from returning to the garden. God had thrown Adam and Eve out because they had sinned.\n \n  So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim, and the flaming sword which turned every direction, to guard the way to the tree of life. (NASB) Genesis 3:24 \n \n     Fall of Satan. When Satan appears in Genesis, he is a wicked angel. But Satan was not always evil. Initially, he and the other angels in heaven were created holy. Their home was heaven. Sometime after his creation, Satan sinned when he wanted to be like God and take control.\n \n  How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations! But you said in your heart, "I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High." Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Shale, To the recesses of the pit. (NASB) Isaiah 14:12-15 \n \nBoth the gospel of Luke (Luke 10:18) and the book of Revelation explain that he was thrown down from heaven along with the angels who followed him. He sinned and became a fallen cherub - an evil cherub.\n \n  And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. (NASB) Revelation 12:9

a while back i asked a pastor that question at a friends house and we got into that discussion.. its not really proven yet where the Garden actually was.. some relegious groups say it never really existed and it was a heaven thing, but then in Genesis says Adam and Eve were the first persons on earth and they were at the garden. \n\nYet most geographicians(if thats a word lol) believe to be on the Middle East, near Mesopotamia. and that is because on text is say from Eden the river diveded into 4 other rivers or 4 branches which is tigris, Euphrates, Pishon, & Gohin. Today 2 of those rivers are no longer with water.. but from satellite photos, has reveled 2 dry riverbeds flowing toward the Persian Gulf, near where Tigris and Euphrates also terminate..\n\nwell hope that helped u asnwer ur question!!

Location of Eden. The original site of the garden of Eden is conjectural. The principal means of identifying its geographic location is the Bible’s description of the river “issuing out of Eden,” which thereafter divided into four “heads,” producing the rivers named as the Euphrates, Hiddekel, Pishon, and Gihon. (Ge 2:10-14) The Euphrates (Heb., Perath´) is well known, and “Hiddekel” is the name used for the Tigris in ancient inscriptions. (Compare also Da 10:4.) The other two rivers, the Pishon and the Gihon, however, are unidentified.\n\nSome, such as Calvin and Delitzsch, have argued in favor of Eden’s situation somewhere near the head of the Persian Gulf in Lower Mesopotamia, approximately at the place where the Tigris and the Euphrates draw near together. They associated the Pishon and Gihon with canals between these streams. However, this would make these rivers tributaries, rather than branches dividing off from an original source. The Hebrew text points, rather, to a location in the mountainous region N of the Mesopotamian plains, the area where the Euphrates and Tigris rivers have their present sources.\n\nThe fact that the Euphrates and Tigris rivers do not now proceed from a single source, as well as the impossibility of definitely determining the identification of the Pishon and Gihon rivers, is possibly explained by the effects of the Noachian Flood, which undoubtedly altered considerably the topographical features of the earth, filling in the courses of some rivers and creating others.\n\nThe traditional location for the garden of Eden has long been suggested to have been a mountainous area some 225 km (140 mi) SW of Mount Ararat and a few kilometers S of Lake Van, in the eastern part of modern Turkey. That Eden may have been surrounded by some natural barrier, such as mountains, could be suggested by the fact that cherubs are stated to have been stationed only at the E of the garden, from which point Adam and Eve made their exit.—Ge 3:24.\n\nAfter Adam’s banishment from the paradisaic garden, with no one to “cultivate it and to take care of it,” it may be assumed that it merely grew up in natural profusion with only the animals to inhabit its confines until it was obliterated by the surging waters of the Flood, its location lost to man except for the divine record of its existence.—Ge 2:15.

no, Christians, not everything is about you and your religion.\n-------------------------------------------\nThe Tree of Life is an important symbol in nearly every culture. With its branches reaching into the sky, and roots deep in the earth, it dwells in three worlds- a link between heaven, the earth, and the underworld, uniting above and below. It is both a feminine symbol, bearing sustenance, and a masculine, visibly phallic symbol- another union.\n\nIn Jewish and Christian mythology, a tree sits at the center of both the Heavenly and Earthly Edens. The Norse cosmic World Ash, Ygdrassil, has its roots in the underworld while its branches support the abode of the Gods. The Egyptian's Holy Sycamore stood on the threshold of life and death, connecting the worlds. To the Mayas, it is Yaxche, whose branches support the heavens.\n\nThe tree has other characteristics which lend easily to symbolism. Many trees take on the appearance of death in the winter- losing their leaves, only to sprout new growth with the return of spring. This aspect makes the tree a symbol of resurrection, and a stylized tree is the symbol of many resurrected Gods- Jesus, Attis, and Osirus all have crosses as their symbols. Most of these Gods are believed to have been crucified on trees, as well. The modern Christmas tree hearkens back to trees decorated to honor Attis, the crucified God of the Greeks.\n\nA tree also bears seeds or fruits, which contain the essence of the tree, and this continuous regeneration is a potent symbol of immortality. It is the fruit of a tree that confers immortality in the Jewish creation story. In Taoist tradition, it is a divine peach that gives the gift of immortality. In ancient Persia, the fruit of the haoma bears this essence. The apples of Idun give the Norse gods their powers, much like the Gods of the Greek pantheon and their reliance on Ambrosia. This aspect of the tree as a giver of gifts and spiritual wisdom is also quite common. It is while meditating under a Bodhi tree that Buddha received his enlightenment; the Norse God Odin received the gift of language while suspended upside down in the World Ash (an interesting parallel is the hanged man of the tarot). In Judeo-Christian mythology, the Tree of heaven is the source of the primordial rivers that water the earth- similar to the Tooba Tree of the Koran, from whose roots spring milk, honey, and wine.\n\nCeltic Tree of Life. The Tree was a central part of early Celtic spirituality.\n\nTo the Celts, the tree was a source of basic sustenance- a bearer of food, a provider of shelter and fuel for cooking and warmth. Without trees, life would have been extraordinarily difficult.\n\nWood from sacred trees had magickal properties, which was reflected in the Celtic Ogham alphabet, wherein each letter represents a particular sacred tree (modern Ogham divination is based on the uses and importance of these sacred trees to the Celtic people). Some trees provided food, some wood for making hunting weapons; others were sacred to the fairy-folk or to the Gods. In Celtic creation stories, trees were the ancestors of mankind, elder beings of wisdom who provided the alphabet, the calendar, and entrance to the realms of the Gods.\n\nTrees were also associated in the Shamanic beliefs of the Druids and other Celtic peoples with the supernatural world. Trees were a connection to the world of the spirits and the ancestors, living entities, and doorways into other worlds.\n\nThe most sacred tree of all was the Oak tree, which represented the axis mundi, the center of the world. The Celtic name for oak, daur, is the origin of the word door- the root of the oak was literally the doorway to the Otherworld, the realm of Fairy. The word Druid, the name of the Celtic Priestly class, is compounded from the words for oak and wise- a Druid was one who was "Oak Wise," meaning learned in Tree magick and guardian or the doorway.\n\nLong after the Druids of old have vanished into the mi

Given the terrain (Eden is placed more or less in Iraq by its description) the most likely candidate, if we're assuming the tree of knowledge of good and evil is a plant analogous to a modern extant species, would have been a date, fig or a pomegranate. :-)
