| 6025235411 | Garden of Eden | Often called Paradise is the biblical "garden of God", described most notably in the Book of Genesis chapters 2 and 3, and also in the Book of Ezekiel. The "garden of God", not called Eden, is mentioned in Genesis 13, and the "trees of the garden" are mentioned in Ezekiel 31. The Book of Zechariah and the Book of Psalms also refer to trees and water in relation to the temple without explicitly mentioning Eden. Much like records of the great flood, creation story and confusion of languages, the story of Eden echoes the Mesopotamian myth of a king, as a primordial man, who is placed in a divine garden to guard the tree of life.[6] In the Hebrew Bible, Adam and Eve are depicted as walking around the Garden of Eden naked due to their innocence.[7] Eden and its rivers may signify the real Jerusalem, the Temple of Solomon, or the Promised Land. It may also represent the divine garden on Zion, and the mountain of God, which was also Jerusalem. The imagery of the Garden, with its serpent and cherubs, has been compared to the images of the Solomonic Temple with its copper serpent (the nehushtan) and guardian cherubs. | 12 | |
| 6025237733 | Lucifer | Lucifer was once the most beautiful angel in Heaven. He was loved by God and was very respected, however he did not like that God made humans in God's image and that God put humans at a higher standard than his angels. Lucifer thought that the angels should be over the humans and should have power over them, so he rounded up the angels who were on his side and attempted to revolt against God. Obviously, he could not revolt against the person who created him, and God cast them out of Heaven and gave them the keys to the deepest darkest corners of the universe where they are to stay for eternity. So Lucifer became the Prince of Hell, or the devil, and the angels that followed him became demons under him command. | 13 | |
| 6025241738 | Daedalus and Icarus | Daedalus was an inventor who lived with his son, Icarus, on the island of Crete. He was approached by a king who asked if he could invent something useful and Daedalus did not disappoint. he created the fabled Labyrinth that would contain the half bull, half man, Minotaur. Unfortunately the king was greedy and had the man imprisoned so he would get all of his useful inventions. At first Daedalus did not mind because anything he asked for the king would obtain for him with very little or no question. But as his son grew up Daedalus began to wonder of a life in prison was really the best thing for his son. So he asked the king to release his son which the king denied rather quickly. So instead of living in Prison he devised an invention that would become myth. A set of wings. he used feathers and candle wax to create the wings and together he and his son escaped. While they were flying however, Daedalus told Icarus not to fly too closely to the sun as it would melt the candle wax and cause the wings to fall apart, but also not to fly too close to the water as the wings would become heavy and he would be unable to fly. The young man of course did not listen and flew very close to the sun where the wax would melt and he would fall to his death. | 14 | |
