Etz Chaim explains a parable relating to the Tree of Life that the Lord spoke to the author - a Messianic Rabbi. The parable opens wide the unique components of the Word and the physical Tree of Life that is introduced in Genesis and again in Revelation.
"The LORD 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 lifeā¦"(Genesis 2:9).
- The ground.
- The seed.
- The roots.
- The trunk.
- The branches.
- The leaves.
- The fruit.
Each of these components brings seven life-changing conclusions to light that stimulate spiritual growth and maturity. The simple yet profound image is powerful and compels you to into self-examination to assure your spiritual health and growth in each of the areas God wanted the author to share with you.
