For mothers day this year, my daughter Amie gave me a pendant of the tree of life. Kelli my other daughter is on a quest to start a non-profit 'plant a tree' called Trees of Life Charity. I do not believe in coincidence - so this led me to a study on the tree of life. The circle of life, so to speak. We are a part of this cycle and I hope to plant seed to anyone who will hear what Yahweh has to say in His Word.
The tree of life is given to man in Genesis 2:9. Man disobeys Yahweh. In Genesis 3:22 man eats from the tree of good and evil so..... the tree of life is now protected so man does not eat from the tree of life as man will be like Yahweh. The tree is protected by a flaming sword which turns every WAY, to GUARD THE WAY of the tree of life.
- Yahweh tells us to guard his commands, statues and His Feast Days
- Yahshuah is THE WAY
If you read Proverb 3:15-18, you see that WISDOM is what we must attain through UNDERSTANDING in order to take hold of the tree of life. Proverb 3:1 - "Do not forget my Torah, let your heart watch over my commands"
- Again, Yahshuah is THE WORD and THE WORD is Torah
Proverb 11:30 - When we live the Torah, we receive the fruit and we become righteous and then we achieve the tree of life.
Proverb 13:12 - The longing (faith) we have is the tree of life not the expectations.
Proverb 15:4 - When we learn to use our voice in love, we have the tree of life.
Revelation 2:7 - When we are WITH EL, we will eat from the tree of life, His kingdom here on earth.
Revelation 22:2&14 - When the 12 tribes come together, as in the prophecy, the tree of life shall be theirs.
Simple put - If we obey Yahweh by loving and understanding His Torah, we will be given the tree of life.
