Chapter 3 The Tree of LIFE The tree of life was also in the mist of the garden (Gen 2:9). In the Hebrew manuscript man was often described as a tree. This tree was planted (placed) there symbolizing eternal life by GOD. The tree has a head branches and a trunk and roots describing man throughout the bible. There is but one giver of life his name is JESUS the only eternal and begotten son of GOD. JESUS is the tree of life that’s right he was in the garden remember we are in paradise eternity. GOD is the GOD of all living he is not of the GOD of the dead. JESUS said I’m the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the father but by me. (JN14:6/Matt20:28/Rev2:7/Rom6:23/Jn1:4). JESUS spoke of himself as the true vine (a branch) and his father as a husband man. The Holland Dictionary transliteration of Hebrew and Greek and Latin defines it as one who tills the soil, a farmer. He also states we are branches and that if we are in him we can bring forth good fruit (Jn15:5). Life in the bible has a much wider view application such as a physical or bodily existence. We as believer must not continue to place limitation on the awesomeness power and wisdom of GOD. In (Jn6:35/48) JESUS states he is the bread of life and what does one do with bread, eat it. Because Jesus was GOD in the flesh he made life a reality, when he told Martha I’m the resurrection (Future, bodily rising from the dead of all, proclaiming he is both Lord and Christ and that through him is eternal life. The statement made by Jesus can only be identified with the supernatural. That GOD can be whatever or whoever he choose to be. Moses asked who should I say have sent me? GOD replied I am that I am (Exodus 3:14) in other words I am everything. The trees were a test and Adam chose to listen to the wrong tree (Man).Daniel 4:1/37/Matt7:17-19/Mk8:24/Rev11:4-11/.All of these references and symbols of the trees and Christ. I pray that you have understood what was said with the leading of the Holy Spirit. Let’s take (Matt 7:15) where JESUS is talking about false prophets coming in sheep clothing. Being interpret mans that are evil and liars coming to people deceiving them by gaining there trust and confidence. With the intent of ripping out there hearts after all there trust and faith is gone. Take the verse of speech (Sheep, wolves and man) in the 17th verse GOD speaks of man as trees bringing forth good fruit meaning good works or righteous acts of GOD. Then (GOD) speaks of trees (man) bringing forth corruptible fruit that these trees are evil (Satan) look (Mk 8:24) when JESUS healed the blind man and Bethsaida and he said unto JESUS after he opened his eyes when he has spit of the ground and made little mud patties and place them on his eyes he replied I see man’s walking that look like trees. This was not a mistake he stated what he saw and that spirit rim JESUS placed his hand upon the man eyes the second time and he saw clearly in this rim. JESUS is the tree of life because life is in him and life comes from him. Let’s move on to the other tree (Man) Satan good and evil. Chapter 4 The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil The tree of knowledge of good and evil is none other than Satan because he was in the beginning lets go to (Ezekiel 28:1:19) because of his beauty it caused him to become prideful and the fact he no longer wanted to guard the mercy seat but sit in it as the messiah he was cast out of heaven and convinced 1/3 of the angles to follow him this happened in the first earth age. Clearly in order to understand the Bible one must start at the beginning; let’s go there Satan now then in heaven (Lucifer) the fir trees rejoice at thee and the cedars of Leb-a-non saying, since thou art laid down no Feller is come up against us (Cruel, fierce, savage to cause to fall) Webster. (Ezk 14:8). Now you have become like one of us a (Man) fallen Angel not born of women or from above but hewed down to the earth. This is called the Ca-ta-bolt when Satan was overthrew and cast out of heaven for his disobedient and pride iniquity was found in him. He was a (cherubim) that over step his power and wanted to be GOD in other words the created wanted to be the creator. And say he is GOD. (Gen 1:1, Ish 14:12-14) (Ezk 28:12-15) he was full of knowledge and wisdom the knowledge of what was good and that which was evil. Remember he has a will and his pride became his fall. His anointing was taken now he’s the terror in earth. (Ezk 28:12, 2 Tim 2:26, Ezk 28:14). Lucifer knew that Christ would come threw a virgin also he knew future events in the heavens because they are past (Matt 8:29, Dan 10:13, Rev 9:16) (Ezk 28:13) to them that are born again (Christian) the Heb. Definition of born again means= to be born from above. He was in the garden in Eden a very handsome man/and beautiful as an angel did you feel what I just felt. Man and Angel (celestial, and terrestrial, Ezk 28:15 now symbolically he is a tree in the garden the tree of knowledge of good and evil. JESUS is symbolically the tree of life in the garden. 2nd Thessalonians 2:3 confirms the fact that he is a man and the number of that man is 666 (Rev 6:1-13). (Rev. 13:18) The sixth vial, the sixth seal and the sixth trump. Revelation 13:6 states here is wisdom; let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man: and his number is six hundred three score and six. On the LORDS day Satan will be back on the earth (Defacto) to human form (Body) to deceive mankind. (2Peter 3:5-10) speaking of the overthrow, the flood in the first earth age the Catabolt (Greek word) the second earth age is the one we live in now. The LORDS day is (The Millennium) one day with the LORD is as a thousand years and thousand years with man is as a day with the LORD. This millennium will be the end of Satan. We will live on the earth in a different age in immortal bodies but on the same earth the heaven will be a different dispensation of time. With the Holy City New Jerusalem coming down on GOD most favorite place the Mount of Olives. GOD had commanded Adam not to eat of this tree (Man) which was with the knowledge of good and evil. That in the day he do so he will surely die (Gen 2:16-17) not a physical death but a spiritual death Satan did not explain that to Adam and Eve because he is the Father of all Lies.

About the Book
Most Christians—and many others as well—are familiar with the story of what happened in the garden of Eden. It’s a story we learn early in our religious education, and it’s one of few we are prone to question.
Few but not all. In The Mysteries of the Garden, author Anthony J. McClain examines what happened in the garden of Eden. McClain reexamines the roles played by Adam, the Tree of Life, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, Eve, the Serpent, and others in the fall of humanity. His research involves searching through the Bible for relevant passages and using historical context to bring you the truth of how sin entered the world.
The Mysteries of the Garden takes you beyond what you have probably been told throughout your Christian experience. McClain’s work provides historically and biblically based information on one of the most important events in the Bible. This God-inspired work brings forward the truth, which can help strengthen your faith.
