The Tree - Revelation 22:1-2

Revelation 22:1-2 ESV 

Then the angel 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. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

The Bride of Christ will be with God and the Lamb. The tree of life on earth will be fed by the river of life. Israel will become that tree which will be for the healing of the nations. We have been grafted into that tree. 

Adam was the first man of a chosen people. He was given a choice in the Garden to bear the fruit of either of two trees. The first was the tree of life and the second was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. He chose the second tree and his descendants suffer that choice to this day. The Bible gives the account that follows them unto the end of the age. Israel will choose correctly the next time and fulfill their destiny to the nations. The Sabbath of God will be realized at last. Creation will be finished and it will be very good.
