A book about three topics. Messiah son of Judah or Joseph. Jerusalem or Shiloh, which was chosen. An alternative view of the Land of Israel. The story of Eden focuses on three aspects, The LAND of Eden, The GARDEN of Eden and the TREE OF LIFE planted in the Garden. This is paralleled in the story of Israel. We have the LAND OF ISRAEL, the HOLY MOUNTAIN where the temple was built and the PRESENCE OF GOD planted within the Temple representing the Tree of Life. When Adam sinned, the tree of Life was hidden, and Adam was kicked out of the Garden. When Israel sinned, the presence of God was hidden, and Israel was kicked out of the land. Is it really so out of context to suggest Eden is the land of Israel and the tree of life is the presence of God? So really the story of Israel is about nothing more and nothing less than the re-establishment of the Tree of Life in Eden.

In his latest book, Bishop Isiah Lawrence Nottage proves that the Garden of Eden was located – or planted in – East Jerusalem, below the Temple Mount/Mount Moriah. He gives the exact dimensions and size of the garden in this astonishing work. Bishop Nottage also pinpoints the area where Adam and Eve lived after they were expelled from the garden, and he proves it, by pinpointing the scripture where The City Adam is mentioned. In addition, he explains exactly what forbidden fruit Adam and Eve ate. He also considers: What was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? What was the tree of life in the middle of the garden? What was the exact date Jesus Christ was born? Who is the second Adam? He also explains whom Cain married and the country that is today the land of Nod, where he went. East Jerusalem: The Former Garden of Eden unravels many more mysteries.

From the Garden in Eden in Genesis at the beginning of the Holy Scriptures to the New Jerusalem in Revelation at the end of Holy Writ, "Holy Land" is a major theme in the Bible. The Holy Land was and is that estate where man dwells in the presence of Almighty God. Between the biblical bookends, the land of Israel, in particular, the Holy City of Jerusalem, and more particular, the Temple Mount is that "Holy Land," the Kodesh Kodeshim or the "Holy of Holies" that is esteemed above all the earth.
