The Tree of Life
Revelation 22:2The tree of life is first talked about in Genesis 2:9 in the garden of Eden, as well as the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Later God commanded Adam to not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. I find it interesting that God put two special tree's in the garden and one he commanded Adam not to eat, then Adam ate of the one he was commanded not to but did not of the other one. Of course satan wanted man to break God's commandment so he tempted Adam to do just that. Then in Genesis 3:22-24 God drove Adam and Eve out of the garden so they could not eat of the tree of life.
In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Then, in heaven, the tree of life is available to us again. And notice in Revelation 22:2 - first it is "the tree of life", then it says "each tree". It is like Jesus is the tree of life as the root, and we are like branches of the main tree being tree's ourselves that are for the healing of the nations. We have been called to go and make disciples in all nations and to pray for the sick for them to be healed. Also, if you accept Jesus as your savior you receive salvation and eternal life with Him in heaven.
Jesus, please forgive me and be my Lord, Amen.

I agree with Your two last sentences.
But regarding Your quote as You wrote, then it says "each tree", please note that this is translation related as "each" here is not literally in the original Greek. You did not specify, what translation were You using?
And regarding Your interpretation about "each tree", You wrote however "we are like branches", so You were obviously referring to John 15:5 where the Lord Jesus Christ depicted His disciples as branches that abide in Him and He in them, for He is the vine, but in the passage of Revelation 22:2 isn't "each tree" rather about the Tree of Life being "on either side of the river"?
Jesus Christ is Lord!

Hi dm, you got me curious how you found my site and this post. Thank you for commenting. And blessings to you.
It is a good thing to be pondering the Tree of Life and the WORD of God. May the Lord be with you dm mystery person.
It is interesting that the fact that the tree of life bearing 12 fruit each supplying wisdom for each month is completely ignored. It is time for people to awaken and begin to understand what they are reading because most do not. Yeshua teachings to start with are hard tough love which if looked at closely are not touchy feely at all.Start by reading the acount of the death of the apostles father! Let the dead bury the dead if you believe in who I am I am the living are you coming or staying ?? Is what he was implying . The bible is an interesting collection of books very little having to do with what is practised as religion. 'Seek Jesus' AND NOT church and the truth of knowledge(Romans?) will be revealed
Hello Anonymous. Blessing to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
It is wonderful how the Bible has something for everyone and in every situation. And of course we need to read and follow the whole Bible. Love, Judgment, Peace, Righteousness, Might, Wisdom, Victory, and Sacrifice.
Do not deny any of the aspects of God.
In His Service,
Fred
