One of the greatest mysteries in the Bible isn’t hidden in Revelation.
It’s hidden in Genesis.
The Garden of Eden is described as being watered by one river that divided into four:
• Pishon
• Gihon
• Tigris
• Euphrates
Here’s what caught my attention.
The Tigris and Euphrates are well-known rivers. They have been recognized for thousands of years.
But what happened to Pishon and Gihon?
Where are they?
Did they disappear?
Did they change their names?
Did the landscape of the world change so dramatically that they can no longer be identified?
Or is there something about Eden that we still do not fully understand?
The Bible never explains.
Perhaps the greater question is this:
If Genesis gives us two rivers we can recognize and two that remain a mystery, was it inviting us to realize that not every detail of humanity’s beginning would be fully revealed?
Sometimes, the silence of Scripture is as fascinating as its words.
What do you think happened to Pishon and Gihon?
