John 1:1-2, 14 NKJV * 1/ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2/ He was in the beginning with God. 14/ And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,

Revelation 19:13 KJV 13/ His {JESUS CHRIST} name is called THE WORD OF GOD.

Revelation 22:1-5 NKJV 
1/ And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2/ In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.  3/ And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4/ They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5/ There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

JOHN 6:48-51 

48/ I am the bread of life.

49/ Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50/ This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. 51/ I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.”



 

  HIDDEN BUT FOUND IN 

 .

 ETERNAL LIFE FOOD FOR THE  SPIRIT

HIDDEN MANNA IS SPIRITUAL FOOD THAT GIVES REVELATION KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE HIDDEN DEEP THINGS OF GOD;  TRUTHS THAT ARE REVEALED TO US BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AS WE FEED FROM: 

• THE SPIRITUAL TREE OF LIFE, JESUS CHRIST, THE WORD OF GOD.

 

[John 6:53-54 (NKJV) * Jesus said, 53/ “Most assuredly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54/ “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” SEE WBS #15 "THE LORD'S SUPER-HOLY COMMUNION 

John 6:57-59 NKJV * 57/ As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.



58/ This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.”
59/ These things He [JESUS] said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.]

 GOD'S LIGHT TO THE WORLD JESUS!!!

Luke 1:78-79 NKJV* 78/ Through the tender mercy of our God, with which the Dayspring from on high has visited us; 79/ To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.”

 

 THE PHYSICAL TREE OF LIFE

WAS GOD'S PROVISION FOR IMMORTALITY FOR THE FIRST MAN ADAM AND HIS WIFE EVE, IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN. THEY HAD ACCESS TO THE TREE AS LONG AS THEY WERE OBEDIENT TO NOT EAT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. 

Genesis 2:8-9, 15-17 NKJV*  8/ The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. 9/ And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

15/  Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16/ And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17/ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

 ONCE EVE THEN ADAM COMMITTED THE SIN OF DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD, AND ATE FROM THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, THEY NO LONGER HAD ACCESS TO THE TREE OF LIFE; ETERNAL LIFE WAS NO LONGER THEIRS. THEY DIED, JUST AS GOD SAID THEY WOULD. THROUGH ADAM ALL MANKIND AFTER HIM WOULD BE BORN INTO SIN AND DIE.

BECAUSE OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER'S LOVE AND COMPASSION FOR MANKIND, HE BARRED ACCESS TO THE TREE OF LIFE AND LIMITED THE NUMBER OF YEARS MAN WOULD LIVE. FOR MAN TO LIVE ETERNALLY IN A SINFUL STATE WHICH CAUSES SICKNESS, HEARTACHE, PAIN, TOIL, HARD LABOR, DISEASE, AND GRIEF, WITH NO ESCAPE OR THE RELIEF THAT COMES WITH DEATH, WOULD MEAN ETERNAL SUFFERING AND SEPARATION FROM GOD FOR ALL HUMANITY. 

WITH THE SACRIFICE OF ONE SINLESS MAN, JESUS CHRIST, GOD'S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, GOD MADE PROVISION FOR ALL HUMANITY TO BE REDEEMED FROM IT'S FALLEN STATE. ALL WHO RECEIVE JESUS AS THEIR LORD AND SAVIOR AND REMAIN FAITHFUL TO HIM, WILL ONE DAY SEE & PARTAKE OF THE PHYSICAL TREE OF LIFE AGAIN IN THE NEW JERUSALEM, THE HOLY CITY OF GOD. 

Revelation 21:2-7 NKJV * 2/ Then I, John, saw the holy city,

New Jerusalem,

coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3/ And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle 0f God

{tabernacle meaning temple of God, literally a physical structure or building, as well as the newly regenerated or resurrected body of man }

 is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4/ And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away." 5/ Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And He said to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful." 6/ And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. 7/ He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

Revelation 22:12-14 NKJV* 12/ “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13/ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” 14/ Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.  

Romans 5:18-21 NLT * 18/ Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone. 19/ Because one person disobeyed God, many became sinners. But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous. 20/ God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant. 21/ So just as sin ruled over all people and brought them to death, now God’s wonderful grace rules instead, giving us right standing with God and resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

GOD LOVED-GOD GAVE GIVING IS AN ACT OF SHOWING LOVE

1 JOHN 3:18 NLT 18/ DEAR CHILDREN, LET US STOP JUST SAYING WE LOVE  EACH OTHER; LET US REALLY SHOW IT BY OUR ACTIONS.

Merry Christmas 2014 & Perpetually!

Christmas literally means "Christ's Mass". It is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ.

While the birth year of Jesus is estimated among modern historians to have been between 7 and 2 BC, the exact month and day of his birth are unknown.  

The birth month and birth day of Jesus is most commonly observed on December 25th, as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world.

 Modern customs of the holiday include church celebrations and gift giving.  

Traditional Christmas colors are green and red. Green stands for eternal life found in Jesus Christ. Red stands for the blood of Jesus which purchased our salvation with eternal life.

Many Christmas decorations include pine trees [they are evergreen & considered to be one of the oldest living species of trees in the world], covered with pine cones, or with added bright shining colored bulbs, & bright festive lights. The pine cones and/or added bright shining colored bulbs are symbolic of spiritual fruit {Galatians 5:22-23* 22/But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering/patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23/ gentleness, self-control.}; and the tree with bright lights are symbolic of JESUS as THE TREE OF LIFE who GIVES LIFE & LIGHT TO THE WORLD!!! 

The very top of the tree is usually adorned with a bright star which represents JESUS' PROCLAMATION THAT HE IS THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR.

Revelation 22:16 NKJV * 16/ "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."
