Everyone has heard the story about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil - even young children knew that one. Because Adam and Even sinned and disobeyed God by eating from that tree, they came to die. However, God gave them a way to have life again! Have you ever heard of the tree of life? When I learned about the tree of life recently, it confirmed my faith in Christ Ahnsahnghong...
According to Genesis 3:22, God said "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."
Then if we eat from the tree of life, we can live forever! Just when I was getting excited, I realized this kind of tree does not exist in the world! But was God referring to an actual tree that gives life? No, of course not...but Jesus said:
Matt. 13:34 "Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world."
NOW, that makes perfect sense! Then, the tree of life is a parable which Jesus hid since the creation. Then if it's a parable, let's find the reality in Christ. What did God give us, that if we eat (like the tree of life) can give us life forevermore?
John 6:53 "Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
If we eat Jesus' flesh and blood, we can (eat from the tree of life) have eternal life! So, Jesus' flesh and blood is the way to eat from the tree of life! Then, (we should know this one by now) the way to eat Jesus' flesh and blood - IS NOT THE COMMUNION- is the Passover of the New Covenant (Matt. 26:17-27).
This means, the reality to the tree of life is actually THE PASSOVER!
2,000 years ago Jesus opened the way to the tree of life by allowing us to partake in His flesh and blood thru the Passover. Unfortunately, the Passover was abolished in 321AD by the Nicean Council of Rome. The abolishment of the Passover meant no salvation for mankind. This is why Christ had to come a second time to bring salvation.
Jesus Christ appeared for a second time in 1948, according to the parable of the fig tree. At that time He started to preach the great news of salvation thru the Passover. He appeared, according to the prophesies, from the farthest land east of Israel & Patmos (where both Isaiah & John saw the savior coming from Is. 46:11, Rev.7:1, resp.), South Korea.
His name is Christ Ahnsahnghong.

Thanks be to Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghong for bringing the Passover because of him we can eat from the Tree of Life and have eternal life.
