Hello Miri , I have a little knowledge concerning The Tree of life and would love to share it with you and all who will . We need to start with Christ and end with Christ ; To begin with Mark Chapter 8 is an appropriate lesson on understanding the symbolism of trees , or in what fashion God wants us his children to see them , turn off your flesh eyes and open your spiritual eyes to seeing trees (walking)as men ,mk 8:21 how is it that you do not understand ? is the question Christ is asking you and I as asked the physically blind man ( we are spiritually blind ) Now the first action Christ took was to take the (blind man) out of town, for us that is to forget what you have learn to date and become as a child ready to learn God`s truth,not mans traditions or teachings, to carry on getting knowledge in our hearts of God`s truths is like getting the spit and clay put on our eyes, you know the hungry sheepNow Christ then asked the man if he saw aught ? and the man looked up and said ( I see men as trees walking ) So Christ put put his hands on the mans eyes (open your spiritual eyes) and made him look up (so we should look up) and he was (we are) restored ( by God`s truth ) God says he is an ever green fir ans come here to me child ,I want to hold you in my arms... the Tree of life was in the Garden ,it was God...The tree of the knowledge of good and evil was also in the garden, it was satan . see your self as a tree and know your head is the top arms and legs limbs ,connected to a trunk , so get yourself rooted and grounded in faith and understand to understand God`s word in depth you must be healed as the blind mind so was... read a final scripture with this understanding Luke 23:31 God and Christ are one John 10:30 we have two bodies and the green body is the flesh and the dry body is the eternal spiritual body.. Amen Amen and Amen.
