What is the tree of life.
If you have known what is meant by the tree of life, your question might be "Who is the tree of life?" Now you are getting a pretty good understanding of what or in truth who is the tree of life. The first instance of the Tree of life was first mentioned by Moses and he wrote it in his book.
Genesis 2:9 God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground —trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
In his book he clearly located where these trees are and they are in the middle of His Garden. At the end of this lesson you will finally know what are some of the story in the Old Testament are not really meant as what you thought they are. Infact they are parables that represents something else and that was how God relates his messages to his people. A very good example that you have known is the dream. The dream is also a parable from God but that is not known by most especially those who did not believe in God.
The verse above in Genesis 2:9 tells us that in the Old Heaven and in the middle of it where two distinct angels. One is known as The Tree of Knowledge and the other is The Tree of life. Try to keep up as I will prove to you that those trees in the garden are angels but not really trees. We will come to that in a short while. OK so there were two trees in the middle of the Garden and God is the one who took care of those trees. He can be called the Gardener in a sense as those trees are His in His Kingdom or what is known as His Garden. God called that Kingdom Eden.
What the tree of life offers
Genesis 3:22 And God said, "Adam has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever(Everlasting Life)."
The tree of life offers Everlasting Life. It means that if you eat the fruit from this tree, your life will be an Everlasting one.
