And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
-- Gen. 2:13 (KJV)
The first river Pison was listed in 2:11 and was proven to have ran through the middle of Saudi Arabia. This second river that is called Gihon in this verse ran through the whole land of Ethiopia. If you look at a map of modern-day Africa, then you will see that the Nile River encompasses the entire land of Ethiopia. The first two rivers that came out of Eden have been proven to be true. However, there are two more rivers that have to be proven in order to ensure that there really was a Garden of Eden.
Numerical Analysis: The numerical pattern for this verse is 2,4,6,1,3. (2) The name Gihon means "bursting forth." Walk in God's kingdom so that you will experience a breakthrough in your life. (4) Stay in God's Word to be encompassed by Him. (6) Expose evil in order to be encompassed by God. (1) Stay in the anointing in order to be encompassed by God. (3) Stay in the Spirit in order to be encompassed by Him.
