AN ABUNDANCE OF TREES. A great multitude of trees growing on the West side of the river and on the East side. These are fruit trees of various kinds. All drawing their strength and growth from the waters of the river. A great number and variety of trees, all from the same source but different. Eze. 47:12 When we come to the New Jerusalem, there will only be one tree. To understand why, look at the church. Trees every where, all trees but different one from the other in doctrine, in manner of worship, in many ways. This is destined to change. There will be but one true church, not yours, not mine but HIS. His Bride, the Church of perfection and the Bridegroom will be that one tree in the midst of the paradise of God. Impossible? The Lord loves doing the impossible.
THE RIGHTEOUS, THE PLANTING OF THE LORD. The Zion of the Lord, the Bride, to be blest of the Most High. She will be made to be beautiful, anointed with the oil of the joy of the Lord. Her garment is the garment of praise. She is called the tree of righteousness, planted by the Lord. All to the praise and glory of the Lord. Isa. 61:3 All who are a part of the Bride are righteous. The New Heavens and the New Earth are to be their eternal possession. This is the work of the husbandman which He has planted with His own hands. Here will be seen the eternal display of His splendor and glory. Isa. 60:21 The church will be on exhibition as the crowning work of the Lord, throughout the ages to come. Eph. 2:7
THE AMAZING ABILITY OF THESE TREES. They are for meat, or sustenance. They are a source of life giving fruit. Their crops are unfailing,
consistently and constantly producing. Their leaves do not wilt nor
fall. They are green all year long. They do not follow the course of other
fruit trees, they are ever green and filled with life. Every month they will
bear fruit. Surely they are supernatural trees. Trees that live by the
mighty power of the Holy Spirit. Their fruit will be for food. This prophetic vision given to Ezekiel is comparable to John fifteen. As the trees must drink from the river, so the branches must abide in the Lord Jesus Christ. When his
will is accomplished there is an abundance of life giving, spiritual food,
dispensed to the lost of this world. The leaves are for medicine. As in the
natural there is a healing element in some leaves, so there is a double healing
wrought by the leaves of these trees. There is physical healing for the body
found in these leaves. Many are saved because of a divine healing of one who was sick. Then, of most importance, is the Spiritual healing of the spirit
and the soul that is to be derived from these leaves. They bear the message of the vine and the tree where ever they go. The Word will bring about a
change in life style in every one who will respond to it. We have been made a part of that tree that we might become a blessing to a sick and dying world. We are for the healing of the nations. That is our call. That is our
responsibility.
