Thread Name: Folklore: Tree of Life
Subject: RE: Tree Of Life?
Genesis 2:9 "And out of the ground the Lord God made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the Garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."

And in Revelations, 22:1-2 "Then he showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also on either side of the river, the tree of life, with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month, and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations."

The imagery of the tree of life flows through the bible, from the first to the last book.
