The Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil
Jesus passed down to the future generations hidden things since the foundation of the earth through spoken parables so as to fulfill what had been promised in the Old Testament (Ps 78:1-6, Mt 13:34-35).
Then what is the true form of the two trees (Gn 2:9) recorded in Genesis?
As we read Genesis 1:11-12, about what is written regarding God’s creation, there are trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their kind. Jesus told that a grain of seed as small as a mustard seed is sown in a field and when it is fully grown into a tree, the birds of the air come and nest in its branches (Mt 13:31-32). There are two kinds of seeds: the physical seed and spiritual seed. There are ten thousand different kinds of physical seed. What Jesus spoke of is the spiritual seed (Lk 8:11), and he revealed the secret of the book of Genesis through the parable of physical seed. It is also recorded that when the time (of the fulfillment of truth as a form of reality) came, this parable would be said not in figurative language but plainly of the Father (John 16:25). The time is when we no more read through prophecy, but are able to see face to face; not only we know in part, but we shall know fully (1 Cor 13:12), that is the time of the reality when the prophecies are being fulfilled, so it is the time of the second coming of Jesus (refer to 1 Cor 13:8-12).
The seed of God’s Word of life (Jn 1:1-4) is sown and grows into the tree of life, and from that tree, bears 12 kinds of fruit and in its branch, the bird (spirit) of the air comes and dwells (Mt 13:31-32). Jesus is the Word of life (1 Jn 1:1-2), the way, the truth, and life (Jn 14:6), and the Spirit of God descended and came upon him as a dove (Mt 3:16). The same Jesus said that he is the true vine (Jn 15:1-5), so Jesus is in fact the tree of life that bears 12 kinds of fruits (refer to Rv 22:1-2). Also Jesus told that he is the heaven (Mt 13:24, 37)
What is the difference between what is said in the above and Matthew 13:31-32 in which it says about a small grain of seed being sown, growing up into a big tree and birds nesting in its branches? Also, how does it differ from the tree of life in Revelation 22:1-2? All these parables are all referring to the same thing. Also in Proverbs 3:13-20, it is said that the man who finds wisdom and understanding it is a tree of life. From these verses, the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil do not merely refer to physical trees, but are used as a metaphor that indicates people.
If Jesus, the Word of life, is the tree of life, what is the tree of knowledge of good and evil (the tree that makes you know about good and evil)?
In Revelation 18:2-3, it is said that Babylon is a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird, and with the wine of the immorality, all the nations have drunk (and befallen). This evil spirit, devil is the serpent, Satan and the dragon (Rv 20:1-3). This serpent is exactly the one who made the woman, Eve to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil in Genesis chapter 3. The Babylon king in Daniel 4:20-22 was a big tree and its fruit abundant, and the birds of the sky dwelt in its branches and the beasts of the field found shade under it. This tree is the vine of the evil spirit or the serpent and the wild vine with the venom of serpents (Dt 32:31-33). Jesus, the true vine, is the tree of life as opposed to the wild vine or Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, who is the tree of knowledge of good and evil (refer to Dn 20-22). In other words, these two types of trees are not just a tree but two kinds of people. Matthew 13:38’s tree of life grown from the good seed is sons of heaven while the tree of knowledge of good and evil is grown from the seed of tare, sons of the evil one from hell. Today’s pastors of spiritual Babylon as recorded in Revelation are the trees of knowledge of good and evil, and the one who overcomes (or the ones who overcome) in Revelation 3:12, 14:1-5 and in 15:2, he and they are the trees of life. As written in Revelation, among the two types of trees in the Garden of Eden, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Babylon, will be fallen after its judgment and thereafter, the only one which will remain to exist is the tree of life (the victor) that bears twelve kinds of fruit (Rv 22:1-2).
To conclude, the field in which God’s Word, the seed of life is sown is neither an animal, nor the soil of the ground, it is people’s mind. The seed sown into the mind of people grows to be a big tree, which is the 12 tribes, 144,000 priests of God and a countless multitude clothed in white robes (Rv 7, 14:1-5, 5:9-10, 7:9-14). Upon them, the Holy Spirit comes and dwells (refer to Rv 20:4-6, 21:1-7). This place is the heaven as written in Matthew 13:31-32 and the tree within is the tree of life in the Garden of Eden and the tree of life that are standing on either side of the river that is formed by the water of life coming from the throne of God in the time when the prophecy of Revelation becomes fulfilled. Also, the big tree or an organization grown out from the seed of evil spirit, which is death, is the tree of knowledge of good and evil, the nation of demon, Babylon or hell (Rv 18:2). These two types of trees are the pastors that belong to either good or evil.
God has hidden this until today and now he has revealed it, but people are mistaken due to “not understanding the Scriptures, or the power of God (Mt 22:29).” But the believers who have their hopes in Heaven can reach to the salvation by believing and understanding it.
The two seeds and the two trees (the tree of life and the knowledge of good and evil) as written in Matthew chapter 13 are what Jesus has said in parables (Mt 13:24-41, Jn 15:1). These two trees were prophesized in the Old Testament, Genesis chapter 2, Ezekiel chapter 47, and Proverbs chapter 3, and these old mysteries were revealed through parables by Jesus and were prophesized again in Revelation chapter 22. In the time of the Second Coming of Jesus, the promised pastor, who saw and heard what Jesus made him understand so clearly through the angels of heaven, is testifying these things. (Jn 16:25, Revelation 1:1-2, Revelation 10, Revelation 22:8, 16).
Who receive the meaning of Revelation from Jesus, surely know and meet the true God.
