Genesis grows more specific moving from chapter 1 into chapter 2, and Eden itself turns out to point toward the Paradise of Revelation 22. The real differences between the two get traced out, both of them finally about communion and fellowship with God.
Continuing from God’s sovereignty over time, the focus turns to how we ourselves are meant to use it. Adam is more than a mere creature; he is a son, and the garden he is given anticipates, with real similarities and differences, the paradise of Revelation 22.
