I, and many biblical scholars believe it to be the city of Jerusalem, Israel.
The similarities between Jerusalem and the Garden of Eden and God's preoccupation with Jerusalem and returning His people there all point to Jerusalem as the location of the Garden of Eden.
The Lord Jesus was sacrificed just outside the city just as the Lord had to slay an animal to use its skin to cover Adam and Eve, as a result of their sin, in the garden. Not only that, but The Lord Jesus' return to crush the serpent's head is encapsulated by him putting his foot on the Mount of Olives, the site of the original sin according to many biblical scholars and splitting it (crushing the serpents head or rule) through a tremendous earthquake according to Zechariah 14:4 and Revelation 16:20.
It's the site where it all began and it's the site where it will all end. It all follows the biblical pattern.
I believe the Berean Endeavor channel encapsulates many of the scriptural truths that point to this truth of this so I have embedded it here so you can watch the video below.
