The Persian Gulf Formed when Ice Age glaciers melted and sea levels rose. Before that it was a river valley and dry basin called the “Gulf Oasis”. (Time frame as of Genesis 1:10).

In Biblical Genesis the Persian Gulf was already a sea by then, so whales, dolphins, humpbacks, and sharks would’ve been swimming there.

In Genesis 2:19, Scripture reveals something profound:

Whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name thereof”.

Remember this included the great whales and the rest of the sea creatures.

Today the Persian Gulf still has whales, dolphins and sharks; but just fewer than the open ocean; because it’s now shallower than before the Noah’s flood.

On the open visions of the garden of Eden as expressed in the book of Genesis; the Euphrates River branches out as part of the Tigris-Euphrates river system, eventually merging with the Tigris to form the Shatt al-Arab, which discharges into the Persian Gulf. It shares tributaries like the Sajur, Balikh, and Khabur, and forms the four rivers of Eden alongside the Tigris, Pishon, and Gihon. (Notably Genesis 2:10 KJV – And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads).

The “Pong Pong tree” (Cerbera odollam); which is known as the “suicide tree”; throughout the ancient of days; is a tree which grows near the coastlines and was also instituted by God in the garden of Eden.

It got this reputation because the seeds/kernels are extremely toxic and have been used for suicide and homicide. The toxin is the chemical compound called “cerberin”, which is a highly potent cardiac glycoside.

In Genesis 2:25 – we read, that the very moment they both ate of the poisonous fruit which God warned them both, Adam and Eva of; they became naked. 

(Clinically they both died the very moment they munched it’s fruit).

The cardiac toxins of it caused immediate cardiac arrest on them; as they were creatures born of flesh and blood; and were not born as Heavenly beings.

What’s more critical here is that Adam couldn’t see that when Eve offered him the fruit; that her body was already clinically dying of it’s poison. 

The very presence of “the old serpent” the Devil made this distraction upon him.

When God called “Where are you Adam”? that’s the very moment they received back life.

Remember it’s conjunction where Jesus calls out to Lazarus: 

(John 11:43b records;

“He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth”); and he came forth similarly out of death.
