Sin entered Eden; and not only man, but all creation felt the wound, and received the wages of sin, which is death.
In Eden dwelt bliss; but sin came, and bliss fled: bliss cannot abide with sin, no, not in Eden.
....."hope" was begotten by the first promise: "Thy seed shall bruise his head." (Gen.3:15).
Adam and Noah died in the faith, and left this hope to be cherished by their posterity; and their race have, in one form or another, ever cherished this hope, and will cherish it, until the time comes for it to be fulfilled." H.D. Ward
