Eden to Eden, Part 4
We’re in the fourth week of our Eden to Eden series. We’re looking at the grand story of the Bible. From beginning to end, God is pursuing His people. We’ve learned why God would pursue us. We found in the Scriptures that God is Omnibenevolent, He is perfectly good. And last week we learned of God’s unbreakable covenant with Abraham. You can listen to the previous three episodes in this series by clicking the links below.
This week Chris focuses on how God desires for His presence to be on earth. We see Him over and over again throughout the Bible finding ways to be with us here, which is yet another sign of His desire to be with us and to pursue us back to Eden.

Apples of Gold
Zvi shares that just because Jewish people live in Israel does not mean God will automatically bless them. He shares Deuteronomy 11:26-28, “Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.” He explains to some Israelis that they are violating this passage. The conversation turns to how they are violating Scripture and Zvi is able to share with them the good news of Jesus.
Zvi’s story is available in Elwood McQuaid’s book, “Zvi: The Miraculous Story of Triumph over the Holocaust,” available at our online store.
More stories from Zvi are also available in his book, “The Best of Zvi,” available at our online store.
