This time there is no cherubim or flaming sword guarding it from God\u2019s children.&nbsp; On the contrary, the very One who paid the price to give us access\u2026 is also the One who says, \u201cTo him who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the TREE OF LIFE, which is in the Paradise of God.\u201d (Rev. 2:7)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some have speculated that since approximately 6,000 years have passed since the Garden of Eden was removed from this earth and transported to Heaven, that possibly the TREE OF LIFE has continued to grow.&nbsp; Unhindered by the restrictions of the curse, it may be growing throughout the whole great city of New Jerusalem. I suppose we really won\u2019t know until we get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John writes in the last chapter of the book of Revelation, \u201cOn each side of the river (of the water of life) stood the TREE OF LIFE\u2026 \u201cbearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the TREE are for the healing of the nations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John\u2019s description of the tree of life here in Revelation 22 is almost identical to what is spoken by the prophet Ezekiel in the Old Testament: \u201cFruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing\u201d Ezek. 47:12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine that\u2026 a tree that produces a different fruit every month\u2026 Heaven fruit\u2026 Even the leaves have some special power and purpose. This majestic tree is unlike any tree we have ever seen on this earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God has chosen to only give us glimpses of the Heavenly City\u2026 just enough for us to know that it is going to be spectacular in every way\u2026 just enough to know that whatever we must endure here, it will be worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friend, if you will search your own heart, I believe you will sense a drawing, even a deep longing within yourself\u2026 to go HOME\u2026 to your real home\u2026 and this is not it.&nbsp; We were made for Heaven and Heaven was made for us. This life is just a breath and will soon be over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our purpose here is to draw as close to God as we possibly can\u2026 and then as His ambassadors, to bring others with us to Heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll have eternity to enjoy the pleasures our Father has prepared for us. (Luke 12:32) The great TREE OF LIFE in the Paradise of God\u2026&nbsp; is just one of those countless pleasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u05d1\u05e8\u05db\u05d5\u05ea, \u05de\u05d9\u05d9\u05e7<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1478936 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1478936\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ea6bf6a\" data-id=\"ea6bf6a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-6011b9e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6011b9e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-773052c\" data-id=\"773052c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a7ca3f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a7ca3f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><p style=\"font-size: 16px;white-space: normal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 700;font-size: 2rem\">\u05d4\u05d0\u05dd \u05ea\u05e8\u05e6\u05d4 \u05d0\u05ea \u05d4\u05d1\u05d9\u05d8\u05d7\u05d5\u05df \u05e9\u05dc \u05d7\u05d9\u05d9 \u05e0\u05e6\u05d7 \u05dc\u05e2\u05e6\u05de\u05da?<\/span><span style=\"color: inherit;font-family: inherit;font-size: 2rem;white-space: pre-wrap\"><\/span><\/p><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-950c668 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"950c668\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: bolder;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u05e6\u05e4\u05d5 \u05d1\u05e1\u05e8\u05d8\u05d5\u05df \u05d4\u05de\u05e8\u05ea\u05e7 \u05d4\u05d6\u05d4 \u05d1\u05d0\u05d5\u05e8\u05da 6 \u05d3\u05e7\u05d5\u05ea.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-df8b9bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"df8b9bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=WkDVR7oup38&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49855a0 elementor-align-center animated-slow elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"49855a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:30000}\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-lg\" href=\"\/he\/come-and-see\/\" id=\"come\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">\u05d1\u05d5\u05d0\u05d5 \u05d5\u05e8\u05d0\u05d5<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heaven Series #19&nbsp;
