I assume our bodies will experience some change, and we know our diet will. The Millennium is a time when it appears that we will collectively return to eating more like Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden.
#Hyperspaces in the garden of eden how to
My conclusion is that we should look to the revelation God gave us for our day, D&C 89 (the Word of Wisdom), for how to eat, and not to the Garden of Eden. When our parents left the Garden, they went from an immortal to a mortal state, I assume their bodies changed somehow. Our bodies are likewise not immortal. Note the future tense, “that shall come upon the face of all the earth, and every tree which shall have fruit upon it.” This encourages me to think that Adam and Eve were also given the plants and fruits that would come in the future on the face of the earth. When the Lord sent them out of the Garden of Eden, He cursed the ground for their sake and sent them to “till the ground” and to “eat bread” until they died (Genesis 3:23, 19).Įven if we knew exactly what Adam and Eve ate in the Garden, we don’t live in the Garden and those exact foods are unlikely to be available to us now. I can certainly imagine Adam and Eve eating raw plants directly from the ground, but I don’t believe they were limited to that. It is interesting that there is a small difference in the corresponding verse in the book of Abraham:Īnd the Gods said: Behold, we will give them every herb bearing seed that shall come upon the face of all the earth, and every tree which shall have fruit upon it yea, the fruit of the tree yielding seed to them we will give it it shall be for their meat. One thing is for sure, while it is likely that Adam and Eve had the technology to cook food, they certainly did not have blenders or juicers in the Garden of Eden! “Every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth,” would include fruit, vegetables, legumes, grains and other plant foods. I do not see this in the scriptural account. Some people claim that Adam and Eve ate a diet of mainly fruit with some herbs. Fruit of the tree is more specific, but between plants bearing seed and the fruit of the tree, this pretty much includes most plants, especially because God specifically states they are given all that are “upon the face of all the earth.” The Hebrew word for herb means plants, and most plants bear seed (and all can produce offspring which is what this might mean), so this is not very helpful in narrowing down the type of plants.
(JST Genesis 9:9, 11) What type of plants did they eat? In Joseph Smith’s translation of Genesis, we learn that God tells Noah that now he may eat meat, but He emphasizes its use only in times of need:Įvery moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you even as the green herb have I given you all things.And surely, blood shall not be shed, only for meat, to save your lives and the blood of every beast will I require at your hands. In the Bible account, consuming the flesh of animals is introduced only after the flood destroyed the vegetation on the earth. In the beginning, God gave our first parents a diet of plants. I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed to you it shall be for meat. We don’t know exactly what that diet was, but we do know that it was all plant foods. Undoubtedly Adam and Eve ate an ideal diet for their condition in the Garden of Eden.
