The Bible is All About Prosperity

The first Epistle, to the Romans, talks about prosperity:
"Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you." (Romans 1: 10)

In John’s third Epistle, he tells his beloved Gaius that he wishes above all else that he prosper and be in health, even as his soul prospers.
"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. " (3 John 2)

Prosperity from beginning to end --- with the final chapters of revelation all about celebrating our Life, Jesus! In which we can eat from all the trees with abandon!
"1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. " (Revelation 22: 1-5)
Jesus Christ is Life and Liberty for all who receive Him -- nothing about bondage, hurt, or unrest:
"The thief comes not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." (John 10: 10)
and
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." (John 8: 36)
The Bible, the Gospel, is all about prosperity, because the Bible witnesses of Jesus Christ, our Life and the Creator of all that is seen and unseen.
