Thank you, sister, for your links. The only thing I had to stop and think on was the part about the physical and spiritual realms (tree of life) both being created by God.
My concern regards the spiritual for the bible says, “God is Spirit.” (Therefore, eternal)
I might use the word “heavenly” rather than “spiritual” to describe the locus of the tree of life.
What do you think?
My central point is that the tree of life is in the midst of the garden of Eden and also in the midst of Paradise.
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
