Paradise Eternal

“The expulsion from paradise is in its main portion eternal: That is, the expulsion from paradise is final; life in the world is unavoidable; but the eternity of the event… makes it possible… not only that we might be living permanently in paradise, but that we actually are continuing to live there, regardless of whether we are aware of it here or not.” ^[1]
