Trees

If the story of the two trees, one of life and one of knowledge in the garden, is an allegory then what do the two Trees represent, what does it mean to eat of them and what does it mean to be naked?

Both are sources. The word tree in Hebrew is translated in the King James bible as tree 162 times, wood 107, timber 23, stick 14, gallows 8, staff 4, stock 4, and numerous other ways including plank.

The first time we see the word tree in the Bible it is from the word ץע ‘ets.^[1]

It is a shortened form of the three letter word הצע AYIN TZADIK HEI. ^[2] Those same letters are also used to represent the word הצע ‘etsah^[3] which is said to mean counsel, advice, purpose. The letters הצע is only translated tree once but counsel over 79 times.

What does the word tree have to do with the word counsel?

All Hebrew words have at least two meanings. One is usually an object and the other is a more abstract meaning. The Hebrew letters of the words also have meaning.

Some Hebrew scholars see that the word ‘ets [ץע], “tree,” was created on the third day. It is thought to equal in gematria tzelem, 160, the “Divine image” in which man was created on the sixth day. “Man is the tree of the field.”^[4] Even the Torah, a way of life, has been said “It [the Torah] is a tree of life for all that hold onto it.”

Words are symbols of ideas and when the letters of a word are also symbols forming the word one needs to grasp metaphors to understand the word of an author. Counsel is a source of guidance and while translating the word counsel as tree is nice for the story we may understand the ideas expressed if we accept that God has placed two sources of counsel in the garden of the world.

One is what we call the tree of knowledge and the other is the tree of life. Both may counsel us, guide us and show us the way to go and live our lives. One way to identify the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is to say it is our own flesh and blood mind.

That tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the Dendritic tree of our own Minds.

The tree of life is Spirit because we know that:

"The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life." (Job 33:4)
"Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." (2 Corinthians 3:6)
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God." (Revelation 2:7)

Following the leading of the spirit is eating of the counselor of life which is the Holy Spirit which Christ sent as a comforter or guide:

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;" (John 14:16)
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (John 14:26)
"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:" (John 15:26)

How do you know if you are following the Holy Spirit or your own mind, your personal tree of knowledge?

What are the fruits of your faith? Do you have Faith that the tree of life or Holy Spirit will keep you on the straight path. Faith in your own flesh and blood mind wrought by vanity and pride will lead you away from righteousness.

Are you keeping the commandments?

Are you doing what Christ said to obtain Eternal life?

Are you using your own mind to rationalize why it is okay to violate those commandments and stray from the righteousness of God?

The "tree" or body and flesh of Christ was nailed to a "tree" in sacrifice of one to the blessing of all in Spirit. We are to walk with His Spirit guided by the counsel of the Holy Comforter He has sent us. Many study the Bible depending on the flesh of their own minds.^[5]

It is by doing or attempting to do righteousness that we come face to face with our own unrighteousness. Seeing the truth about ourselves nurtures the humility that must come with that confession and repentance of the heart which lets His Spirit enter. Daily fasting and prayer and walking in His ways of sacrifice and service allows us to be drawn near to God's righteousness of His Kingdom and away from our own vain unrighteousness.

"Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers [did], so [do] ye." (Acts 7:51)

Knowledge of good and evil

The tree of the Knowledge of good and evil is identified with a word translated knowledge from the Hebrew word (תעד) daath.^[6]

It is said to be from the word (עדי) yada. ^[7]

The word daath (תעד) which is said to mean "knowledge, perception" is composed of three letters DALET AYIN TAV while yada (עדי) meaning know or knowledge is the three letters YUD DALET AYIN.

The two letters DALET AYIN (עד) are supposed to mean opinion^[8] if you add a KAF the word that is formed is daak ךעד which is said to mean "to go out, be extinguished, dry up"^[9]

Adding the letter TAV which means faith and is supposed to mean the Mark of God we are told the word DALET AYIN TAV becomes the word for knowledge in reference to the tree of knowledge of good and evil. So does it really just mean knowledge or is it the type of knowledge that extinguishes faith.

The truth is most people do not really believe in God but in their opinion about God. That is why they were so willing to allow the change of the meaning and definition of the word Religion. People often construct an image of God in their mind and either worship that image or denounce God or that image of God they hold in their mind.

Ultimately the real God, whoever He is, is not subject to our opinion or what we think. Could it be that there is another way to know something is true other than figuring it out in our minds? Can we know something by revelation? Certainly that is what God and the prophets have been saying from the beginning.

"For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:" (Hebrews 8:10)

"But this [shall be] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people." (Jeremiah 31:33)
