Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is Jesus Christ, and you cannot eat Him with a knife and a fork. The Tree of Life left in the Garden of Eden, and while it was there, they had no knowledge of how to eat from it, but in these last days, the Tree of Life has returned and also the knowledge of how to Eat of that Tree of Life, which is Jesus Christ, the Living Word of God. The Book of Revelation is written in Symbols, and unless you have the Holy Ghost, you will not know what those Symbols mean. IN this last and evil day, God has sent His Prophet-Messenger to reveal to us the Sealed Book, and then we can understand what these symbols really mean. Like most church ages, when God sends His Messenger, the world calls it false, but when the world sends one, they call it God, but they have eyes that see not, and ears that hear not, and a heart that cannot understand. If Our Gospel is hid, it is hid to those that are lost, as Jesus said these things are hid from the wise and prudent, but revealed unto babes, such as will learn. His Sheep Hear His Voice, and they will not follow strangers. Thank God if you hear His Voice............Thank God if you have His Eye-salve to see. In Revelation 22, just before He closes the Book, He tells us of the Tree of Life was in the midst of the Street of the River of Life, and on either side of The Holy Ghost, as that is the River of Life. So the Tree of Life is in the Holy Ghost. The Word of God, the Tree of Life is in the Spirit of God, the Holy Ghost. See? Now this Tree of Life had 12 manner of fruit, and no natural tree has that. What could a peach, apple, or pear tree do to bring 12 manner of fruit? That 12 is speaking of the 12 Apostles, is the fruit you can receive. See that? That Tree had a crop every month,and the natural trees of earth cannot ever do that. Remember this; the Tree of Life is here now so that you can partake of it, and get into Eternity with Eternal Life, for if you ever get into Eternity, it will be because you ate of this Tree when it was offered to you. See That? Remember there is no hours, days, weeks or years in Eternity.
In centeral Florida where I live, the Oak Tree can live in the winter and the summer, as well as the Pine Tree, but the Orange Tree has trouble, and in North Florida cannot live, and in the South Florida does just fine. The Orange Tree has fruit of 12 Plugs (Good Number) and the shape like a Pyramid with the seed at the top to produce the entire Tree. It has Vitamin C that promotes good health, and I type the Vitamin C as Revelation SEE, or understanding, and it can't live in a cold formal church or person. The Natural revealing the Spiritual.
Take a leaf and with a Powerful Microscope, magnify to one thousandeth of an inch, and you see 12 rows od cells with 5 in each row.(A.W.Pink on the leaf).
You do not get life from the fruit of A Tree, as how can you eat fruit unless you already have life with mouth, hands, eyes, teeth, and a stomach? The fruit gives you strength to the life you already have. Life comes from the leaf, as the leaves give off Oxygen to enter your lunges and give you Life. Also the leaf takes in Carbon Dioxide, the poison we give off. Now can't you see the Gospel gives you life, and takes your sin away? On top of that, the leaves fall off, and rots, and forms compost, which is the best fertilize for the tree to bring another crop. Therefore the books of Martin Luther, Wesley, Spurgeon, Moody, William Branham stimulate me, fertilize me the other crop to come forth. In Eternity you will not be keeping the Commandments of God, but you will be enjoying what Keeping His Word had done for you. Rev.22;14 says this; Blessed are they that do His Commandments, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Verse 15 For without are dogs, and Sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and Idolaters and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. In Eternity there will be no kind of sinner outside the city of God, the place of rest. Gal.4;22,26 says the New Covenant is the Heavenly Jerusalem, the Mother of us all where the Truth is preached and children are born into the family of God. Heb.12;18,29 says when you come to Church, you come unto Mt. Zion, and unto the City of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of Angels. Verse 23 To the General Assembly and Church of the Firstborn, which are written in Heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the Spirits of just men made perfect. Amen to the Word of God !
Now these symbols tell you the Gospel in Symbol form, and I pray this article will stimulate you more and more , and mold you more and more into the Image of Jesus Christ...Like Eph. 4 says there is One God, One Faith, as that is what He said to us, and the One Baptism that He can come and live in us and continue the Works He started in the Book of Acts, as Eph. 4;10 says that He might fill all things, as we live and move in Him, or in Him we move and have our being.We live in God like a fish lives in the Ocean.
John the Baptist said this Jesus had a Fan in His Hand, His Ministry that molded you more and more into His Image, and He fanned away the husk, and the husk was part of the wheat at one time, and was not any part with the Tare-plant. He said He would throughly purge His Floor, where the Wheat fell back to, or dwelled at..Most says the fan thoroughly, but not so, as the Word is Thro, not Thor..Throughly..Through and Through by His Hand-Ministry anointed with the Holy Ghost.
Jesus said He was the Trunk, or the Vine, and we are the Branches that the Sap-Life of the Vine flows through to bring forth fruit of Itself, whose Seed is in itself, and it is so even today. The root of this Heaven-Plant is in Heaven and bearing witness in the earth. Remember that the Plant of the Lord has His citizenship in Heaven, and not in the earth, as he is a pilgrim and a stranger travelling in a land of Promise.
You now see that there is a Natural City of God hereafter that The Elect Bride will
live in as the Queen of The King Jesus Christ...There is also a Spiritual City of God, where the Message of the Hour is Preached, where the Present Day Truth is
sent forth, and to be in the Natural City of God hereafter, you must enter the One
here on the Earth right now as the Church of the Living God. That is what puts you
in the City of God here that Jesus went away to build for His Sweetheart Bride.
Notice on the outside of this City are Dogs, and Sorcerers, and whoremongers,
and murderers, and Idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. You see
then that you cannot receive the Holy Ghost in your Soul if you refuse to keep
doing those kind of sins. You can have the Holy Ghost on your spirit, cast out
devils and do many wonderful works in the Name of the Lord and still be lost.
Read Matthew 7;21,29. The complaint Jesus had against those kind of people,
was they did not take hear (understand) His Sayings, and do them.
You see you can't make a grain of corn sprout and be born again in a new Life,
unless the Life it was born with had become dormant. The same with a caterpillar.
He can't be born into a Butterfly unless he dies out to the worm life in the cacoon.
So come to Jesus Christ with your heart sold out to Him, and want to be molded
into His Image with His Life flowing through you.
God had a message in the days of Noah, but Moses could not tell the people to
build an ark made to float in a flood, as God now had more of His Word revealed.
Noah was a Prophet of God for His day and age.
So The Tree of Life in Noah's day was his message, and the Tree of death was the daughters of men mingled with the Sons of God.
Elijah was the Tree of Life for His day, and Ahab the King of Israel now mind you,
who with his wife Jezebell had 850 False Prophets with the tree of death message.
1 Kings 18;19.
John thre Baptist, Jesus and the Apostles had what God required for Life Eternal,
and through unbelief and the false church almost snuffed the Truth of God out in
the dark ages, and Martin Luther was the Tree of Life for God with His Message for
that day and age..God was starting the restoration of His Full Word.
They refused to go on after Luther left, and God brought up His Message through
John Wesley, and John Wesley was the Tree of Life to his day and age.
Since then through thousands of strange Voices claiming to be of God, was really
the wrong Voice, as the Tree of Life for this last-end-time-generation, is the Gospel
Message brought by William Branham..
John the Baptist had a message from God to prepare the People to accept Jesus
Christ as their Messiah, and when the Apostles came out of the Upper Room, God
had a new Message for His Elect.
God planted that age of believers, and then through the dark ages, Truth was a
scarce thing to find, but Martin Luther received a revelation from God that the Just
shall live by faith, and years later John Wesley preached Sanctification.Then God
let the Gifts of God return, and in 1906 in Los Angels the Holy Ghost fell. In a few
years they made denominations out of that, and God sent His Prophet William Branham with the Restoring what all the reformers did not know. Mal. 4 and Rev.
10 came into being fulfilled. Luke 17,26,30 and Rev.3;14, this was God preparing His Bride for the Rapture by using the Vessel of William Branham as His Voice.
Read on my new article section of His sermons and hear for yourself.
May this be a blessing to all that read this. Nathan Miller in Florida.
