The Lion King pt 8 - (sweeter than honey)

Judges 14:12  "And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments:"

Judges 14:13  "But if ye cannot declare it me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it."

Judges 14:14  "And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle."

This was a wedding feast made by Samson, for his marriage with a Philistine girl.  He put forth this riddle to the 30 thuggish Philistine men that were invited to the party.  The number "7" represents spiritual completeness.  The men threatened the bride's life, and her entire family, over 30 shirts and garments.  The antichrist, or "instead of Christ", satan, arrives at the sixth trump.  Will you know the difference between the real bridegroom and the fake?  Can you answer the riddle? 

Judges 14:18  "And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle."

Before all of this, on Samson's way to Timnath, a young lion came up against him.  With the Spirit of the LORD upon him, Samson ripped up this lion with his bare hands.  Upon returning from the trip, Samson saw a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion, scooped up the honey with his hands, and ate the honey.  He also shared the honey with his parents, but didn't reveal where he found it.  Even Samson didn't know the real answer to the riddle he put forth at this time.  He was too busy enjoying honey from bees and women.

Psalm 119:103  "How sweet are Thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!"

Psalm 119:131  "I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for Thy commandments."

Psalm 119:164  "Seven times a day do I praise Thee because of Thy righteous judgments."

Honey and the honeycomb are symbolic of the WORD of GOD.  It's the food of prophets; you eat the WORD and the meat of the WORD.  CHRIST is the Lion of Judah, the Root of David, and the Living WORD.  You feed your hunger with the Living WORD; it's sweet as honey to your spiritual mouth.

Revelation 5:5  "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof."

Revelation 10:9  "And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little Book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey."

The truth can bitter, initially, but there's nothing like pure truth from GOD's WORD.  It's like honey to the tastebuds of your mind, and will help you to absorb and gain wisdom and understanding in the WORD. 

The devil is a play actor, a copycat, a fake Christ.  Satan's the lion prince over all that is carnal and temporal.  He's no different than the dead carcass of a lion.  Satan's honey was something totally different than pure honey.  In Eden, the heifer [bride] that satan plowed was Adam's.  The devil's honey is another gospel, another jesus.  His honey is wormwood.   

Satan's honeycomb is a six-sided trap with a fallen star in the center.  The triangle is a representation of the Trinity.  An inverted triangle is a representation of satan's backward system and laws of reversal.  Therefore, the so-called star of David is comprised of both triangles (upright and inverted), as above so below, forming the shape of a six pointed star.  It's an image of false duality and contains six (6) points, six (6) triangles and a six-sided (6) polygon in the center - (6-6-6).  The star of David belongs to the false house of Judah, the synagogue of satan, also known as the sons of Cain.  There are good figs and bad figs.  By faith and belief in Jesus CHRIST as Lord and Savior, and through repentance to the FATHER, in Jesus name, a bad fig is no longer a child of darkness, but of Light.

In Psalms 119, David penned that GOD's words are sweeter than honey.  Which honey and honeycomb have you been fed?

"And Adam knew Hava [Eve] his wife, who had desired the Angel [satan]; and she conceived, and bare Kain; and she said, I have acquired a man, the Angel of the LORD. And she added to bear from her husband Adam his twin, even Habel [Abel]" (The Targum of Palestine).

Genesis 4:1  "And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD."

Genesis 4:2  "And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground."

again = H3254. yâsaph (yaw-saf') - A primitive root; to add or augment (often adverbially to continue to do a thing): -    add, X again, X any more, X cease, X come more, + conceive again, continue, exceed, X further, X gather together, get more, give moreover, X henceforth, increase (more and more), join, X longer (bring, do, make, much, put), X (the, much, yet) more (and more), proceed (further), prolong, put, be [strong-] er, X yet, yield. 

The word "again" is to continue, meaning Eve continued in labor and bare Cain's twin, Abel.  Two male partners (in this case, Adam and satan) had sexual intercourse with the same female partner (Eve).  One man’s sperm fertilize one of the woman's eggs, while the other man's sperm fertilize another one of her eggs.

The literal translation of the Hebrew text for "I have gotten a man from the LORD" is "I've acquired a man with the help of Yehovah".  For it is written, "All that openeth the matrix is Mine", saith the LORD (Exo 34:19).  So the matrix is this flesh life, and world system, that you're born into and it's named after the mother's womb, where conception of new life takes place.  Life begins at conception.  All that openeth the matrix belongs to GOD.  "All souls are Mine" means every soul belongs to GOD.  He's the CREATOR and He made each and every one of us.  Even though Cain was the son of satan, his very soul belongs to GOD.

Enoch 22:7  "And he answered me saying: 'This is the spirit which went forth from Abel, whom his brother Cain slew, and he makes his suit against him till his seed is destroyed from the face of the earth, and his seed is annihilated from amongst the seed of men."

1 John 3:12  "Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one [serpent; satan; the devil], and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous."

In Jesus's Own Words:

John 8:43  "Why do ye not understand My speech? even because ye cannot hear My Word."

John 8:44  "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

John 8:45  "And because I tell you the truth, ye believe Me not."

This all traces back to the real sin in the Garden of Eden, resulting in the birth of Cain and the downfall of Adam and Eve, from their sexual union with satan.  The original wheat and tare grew up together as twins, Abel and Cain.  They brought their offerings to GOD at the same time, being born at the same time, but the genealogies of Adam and Cain are listed separately, in the Book of Genesis.  Abel was murdered by Cain, the first murderer, and therefore, had no progeny.  From umbilical cord through umbilical cord, from Adam and Eve all the way to Mary, the Savior was born.  So you will also see in Luke 3 that it was Seth, from Adam and Eve, and not Cain. 

Only the Savior, Jesus CHRIST, would be born of a virgin, through the matrix, meaning womb.  The Tree of Life is Jesus Christ.  The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is satan.

Ezekiel 31:8  "The cedars in the garden of GOD could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chesnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of GOD was like unto him in his beauty."

Ezekiel 31:9  "I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of GOD, envied him."

Ezekiel 31:10  "Therefore thus saith the LORD GOD; Because thou hast lifted up thyself in height, and he hath shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;"

Ezekiel 31:11  "I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen [nations]; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness."

Satan is physically beautiful.  Ezekiel 28 tells us about the "king of Tyrus", who is not a man prince, but satan a.k.a. lucifer, the devil, being in Eden, the garden of GOD.

Ezekiel 28:11  "Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,"

Ezekiel 28:12  "Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD GOD; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty."

Ezekiel 28:13  "Thou hast been in Eden the garden of GOD; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created."

This refers to the serpent, or satan, in the Garden of Eden.  Notice that the devil's breastplate is three stones short of that of a priest's breastplate.  Lucifer was a protecting cherub of GOD's Mercy Seat and he became the instigator of the rebellion.  Satan tried to pollute the seedline from which CHRIST would come through, which could delay his execution and hinder GOD's Plan.  Obviously, satan did not succeed.  Satan's plan failed with the ultimate birth of Jesus Christ, who upon His crucifixion, defeated death, which is to say, defeated satan.

Ezekiel 28:14  "Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of GOD; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire."

Ezekiel 28:15  "Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee."

There are eons between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2; then, we count the six days of creation; GOD gave us rest on the Seventh day; and from the first Adam to the second Adam (CHRIST) is approx 4,000 years.  Before his fall, satan worked his way up to become a chief guardian cherub in Our Heavenly FATHER's Kingdom.  ALMIGHTY GOD promoted satan, then called lucifer, to protect the Mercy Seat, the very throne of our CREATOR.  But lucifer didn't just want to protect the Mercy Seat, he wanted to sit in it, as CHRIST, as GOD.

Satan's own pride and vanity led to his downfall.  Satan departed from GOD's plan and drew one third of GOD's children, arm in arm, with him in rebellion.  So when did all of this happen?  It occurred in the First Earth Age, before satan's overthrow, or "katabole".  It's also known as lucifer's flood, predating Noah's flood, and so devastating, the earth became void, a wasteland and ruin.  With common sense and discernment, it's obvious that satan's rebellion had to take place in a different dispensation, which was the First Earth Age.

Genesis 3:7  "And the eyes of them [Adam and Eve] both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons."

The couple was in a fig grove, thus they used fig leaves to make themselves aprons.  Does this truth surprise you?  Or did you picture eating a red apple, or some mythical fruit, in the story?  If so, where did this belief, idea or image of eating an apple come from?  Did you come up with it yourself?  The answer is "no".  Nowhere in the Book of Genesis is the word "apple" ever mentioned.

Genesis 3:8  "And they heard the voice of the LORD GOD walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD GOD amongst the trees of the garden."

Genesis 3:9  "And the LORD GOD called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?"

Genesis 3:10  "And he said, I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

Adam and Eve heard the very footsteps of ALMIGHTY GOD strolling through the Garden of Eden, in the cool of the day.  They hid themselves, because fallen man no longer quests for GOD, but for satan.  A hypocrisy and lie is arguing that the Earth is flat, when it's clearly round, or arguing that Adam and Eve literally ate forbidden fruit, when they clearly did something sexual and covered their privates because of shame.  It's like saying that the Statue of Liberty represents true liberty and freedom, when it represents idolatry.  Or saying that abortion means "choice", when it means murder, the removal of choice from a new soul.  Or that "do what thou wilt" means freedom, when it means bondage and rebellion.

Luke 22:48  "But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the SON of man with a kiss?"

Think about a kiss for a moment.  A kiss is normally given out of love and affection, like a mother kissing her child.  Now, turn that around, and think of a betrayer's kiss, a kiss from an enemy that is close to you.  If fallen angels, the very lieutenants of the devil, lusted after women, and used sex for a different purpose than love, what makes you think that their leader didn't do the same as well, and did it first?

Proverbs 5:3  "For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:"

Proverbs 5:4  "But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword."

Proverbs 5:5  "Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell."

Revelation 8:11  "And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter."

"a strange woman". Two words are used for "strange" and "stranger": one, Hebrew. zur, an apostate Israelite woman gone over to the idolatrous impurities of heathen religion; the other nakar, a purely foreign woman of a similar character. The danger is religious rather than moral. Hence here it is zur. See note on Pro_2:16 (Bullinger).

"drop as an honeycomb" = distil honey. The invitations of religious idolatry suit the tastes of the natural man (Bullinger).

drop = H5197. nâṭaph (naw-taf') - A primitive root; to ooze, that is, distil gradually; by implication to fall in drops; figuratively to speak by inspiration: - drop (-ping), prophesy (-et).

The strange woman represents false religion, even an apostate turning to another gospel, another jesus.  Her lips ooze a different doctrine, claiming that the synagogue of satan is GOD's chosen, and that evil is good and good is evil.  Her honey is wormwood, nothing but bitter poison from the mouth of satan.  Her sword is a counterfeit and her honeycomb is 666.

The Lion King pt 7 - (Garden of Eden)

Revelation 9:8  "And they [fallen angels] had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions."

Eden = H5731. ‛êden (ay'-den) - The same as H5730 (masculine); Eden, the region of Adam’s home: - Eden.

H5730. ‛êden, ‛ednâh (ay'-den, ed-naw') - From H5727; pleasure: - delicate, delight, pleasure.

In the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, Paul describes adultery using the example in the Garden of Eden, or the Garden of delight or pleasure.  Satan plays by the laws of reversal and brought his version of pleasure, which was lustful and carnal.

2 Corinthians 11:3  "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ."

beguiled = G1818. ἐξαπατάω - exapataō (ex-ap-at-ah'-o). From G1537 and G538; to seduce wholly: - beguile, deceive.

The serpent beguiled Eve means that satan "wholly seduced" (in Greek, "exapatao") Eve in the Garden of Eden.  Now what else other than sexual intercourse can "wholly seduce" mean?  A carnal preacher will try and sell you a fable about sinful fruit and a talking snake.  This is the initial bait and induction into false doctrines that is spread by organized religion.  The pure WORD is passed on by GOD's remnant from generation to generation.  It has never stopped because GOD is in control and His will and truth always comes to past. 

Isaiah 56:3  "Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from His people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree."

If we were to talk about your "fruit", you'll likely think of your works.  If we were to talk about your "seed", you'll think of your children.  The tree of the knowledge of good and evil wasn't a dry tree and was very capable of producing seed with woman, just like the fallen watchers fathered the Nephilim, which were of old, men of renown.  In the spiritual sense, a eunuch is no longer a dry tree, when he accepts and follows Christ through repentance, thus becoming a part of GOD's family.

We know that flesh man can survive on angel's food, manna.  We also know that Abraham served the LORD butter, milk and steak.  How cool is that?  And Jesus, after His resurrection, ate with His disciples.

Luke 24:42  "And they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb."

Luke 24:43  "And He took it, and did eat before them."

fish = G2486. ἰχθύς - ichthus (ikh-thoos') - Of uncertain affinity; a fish: - fish.

Honey and the honeycomb are symbolic of the WORD of GOD.  It's the food of prophets; you eat the WORD and the meat of the WORD.  ΙΧΘΥΣ (ichthus), or fish in Greek, is a cypher for "Ίησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ", (Iēsous Christos, Theou Yios, Sōtēr), which means "Jesus Christ, SON of GOD, Saviour".

Satan's honey was something totally different.  His honeycomb is a six-sided trap with a fallen star in the center.  The triangle is a representation of the Trinity.  An inverted triangle is a representation of satan's backward system and laws of reversal.  Therefore, the so-called star of David is comprised of both triangles (upright and inverted), forming the shape of a six pointed star.  It's an image of false duality and contains six (6) points, six (6) triangles and a six-sided (6) polygon in the center - (6-6-6).  The star of David belongs to the false house of Judah, the synagogue of satan, also known as the sons of Cain.  There are good figs and bad figs.  By faith and belief in Jesus CHRIST as Lord and Savior, and through repentance to the FATHER, in Jesus name, a bad fig is no longer a child of darkness, but of Light.

Satan's honeycomb traces back to the real sin in the Garden of Eden, and the birth of Cain, from the sexual union between satan and Eve.  False duality began here.  The original wheat and tare grew up together as twins, Abel and Cain.  They brought their offerings to GOD at the same time, being born at the same time, but the genealogies of Adam and Cain are listed separately, in the Book of Genesis.  Abel died, so therefore, had no progeny.  Adam's genealogy is listed in Genesis Ch 5; You can find Cain's in Genesis, Ch 4.

Have you ever heard of twins having different fathers?  It can happen when two male partners (in this case, Adam and satan) have sexual intercourse with the same female partner (Eve).  One man’s sperm fertilize one of the woman's eggs, while the other man's sperm fertilize another one of her eggs. 

Genealogies in the Bible are accurate and detailed, which is why Adam's genealogy is listed separately from that of Cain.  The occult's obsession with "false" duality and the number "11" start from the "sin" in the Garden of Eden.  The original wheat and tare grew up together as twins - Abel and Cain.  With the key of David, you don't need a mountain of keys to open doors.  One Key starts the journey in the Word and the Key is Jesus Christ.  Now let's go back to the "Origin" or "The Beginning" in the Book of Genesis (from the Greek γένεσις, meaning "origin"; in Hebrew: בְּרֵאשִׁית‎ (Bərēšīṯ) "In [the] Beginning").    

Genesis 3:4  "And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:"

Genesis 3:5  "For GOD doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

Your eyes shall be opened refers to the "third eye", which comes through satanic initiation, via contact with evil spirits, sorcery and committing abominations.  The pedophiles, whoremongers, homosexuals and adulterers, etc, who've reached high positions in the world system, guess what their initiations involved?  The act of committing sin is the satanic ritual itself, without need of a black-robed religious ceremony or a pentagram drawn on the floor.  

Many old pagan religious and cult practices included all sorts of sexual rituals and perversions, with the incorporation of human sacrifice, temple prostitution and orgies in the groves.  The rituals tie back to Satan's old attempt of polluting the lineage of CHRIST, using unlawful sex as a primary weapon.  Satan's first attempt was in the Garden of Eden, where he is referred to as the serpent.  The second attempt was by his lieutenants, the fallen angels, which led to Noah's Flood.  The offspring (hybrids and giants; half demonic children) of the third attempt, or influx, were ordered by GOD for destruction by Moses, Joshua and the Israelites.  With demonic hybrid children running around the world, it's not difficult to understand why our FATHER would want them destroyed.  If you have sympathy for the devil and the children of fallen watchers, then go join the rolling stones.  On a side note, the song ("sympathy for the devil") actually tells about satan's laws of reversal as well as some of the works of his children, the kenites.

Genesis 3:6  "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

food = H3978. ma'ăkâl (mah-ak-awl') - From H398; an eatable (including provender, flesh and fruit): - food, fruit, ([bake-]) meat (-s), victual.

pleasant = H8378. ta'ăvâh (tah-av-aw') - From H183 (abbreviated); a longing; by implication a delight (subjectively satisfaction, objectively a charm): - dainty, desire, X exceedingly, X greedily, lust (ing), pleasant. See also H6914.

H183. 'âvâh (aw-vaw') - A primitive root; to wish for: - covet, (greatly) desire, be desirous, long, lust (after).

The tree, satan, appeared pleasurable, pleasant and favourable for flesh/fruit, in the carnal sense.  He was "pleasant to the eyes", meaning lust in Eve's eyes.  The word "wise" in this verse refers to carnal knowledge, which is enlightenment in the occult through esoteric knowledge.  The real sin in the Garden was a satanic sex rite, an initiation, and the participants were satan, Eve and Adam.

The thorn tree, or roaring lion, in the Garden of Eden seduced Eve into committing spiritual adultery (idolatry) and physical adultery.  Adam saw the lust before him and did the deed as well.

Genesis 3:7  "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons."

Back in Luke 6:44, the figs represent the children of cain, or kenites, and the fig leaf is symbolic of things that are hidden, going back to the Garden of Eden.  Adam and Eve tried to cover their shame, the body parts involved in their sin, with fig leaves.  They weren't in an apple orchard, but a fig orchard.  If they sinned with their mouths, they would have covered them, like when a child says something he shouldn't of said, or puts in his mouth a cookie or sweet, that he took without permission.  Can you see the spirit of slumber that is upon mainstream Christianity, where men and women believe that Adam and Eve would cover their privates, due to sin committed by their mouths?  Did Adam and Eve make apple leave masks to cover their mouths?  No, Eve covered a different mouth and so did Adam. 

Proverbs 30:20  "Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness."

The serpent's system of indoctrination will make you see things, like Adam and Eve eating an apple in the Garden of Eden, when it's simply not there in Genesis.  Most people are conditioned to think it, through media, illustrations, stories and the doctrines of men.  The world is backwards, friend.  The majority of things that mankind tends to value highly are the least important and most fleeting.  The carnal and temporal things are all the devil can offer.  He offered lust and carnal pleasure to Adam and Eve, in Eden, and they did eat.

The Lion King pt 6 - (thorn tree)

Genesis 2:17  "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

tree = H6086. ‛êts (ates) - From H6095; a tree (from its firmness); hence wood (plural sticks): carpenter, gallows, helve, pine, plank, staff, stalk, stick, stock, timber, tree, wood.

H6095. âtsâh (Haw-tsaw') - A primitive root; properly to fasten (or make firm), that is, to close (the eyes): - shut.

H6096. ‛âtseh (aw-tseh') - From H6095; the spine (as giving firmness to the body): - back bone.

We know from The Lion King III that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, in Eden, was satan.  The knowledge of good and evil means "two" minded, or two-spirited, and hypocrisy, or simply to know good but to do evil.  There was no literal eating of "forbidden" apples.  Jesus Christ, the Tree of Life, or as the Shepherd, the great apple tree, is not a literal tree.  Satan was not a literal tree, either. 

In the Strong's Concordance, the word "tree" is "ets" in Hebrew, and it comes from "atsah", a primative root meaning to "fasten" or "to close" or "shut" the eyes.  The word "atsah" comes from the word "atseh", meaning the "spine" or "back bone".  So what we have is a torso, which we still refer today as the "trunk" of the body.  The trunk houses the spinal cord that connect to the brain.  The nervous system of the body consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs and all of the nerves connecting the organs with the rest of the body.  Together, these organs have responsibility over controlling the body and communication amongst its many parts.  The brain and spinal cord form the central nervous system, or CNS, where decisions are made.

Your brain guards the pupils of your eyes, and it has a "blinking center" that controls the automatic nerve action of blinking.  Now you see the relationship between the Hebrew word "ets" with its root words, "atsah" and "atseh".  The trees are symbolic of people, hence "I see men as trees, walking" in Mark 8:24. 

Song of Solomon 2:3  "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste."

The girl, representing the bride of Christ, in the Song of Solomon is comparing her love, the Shepherd, symbolic of Jesus Christ, to a great apple tree.  Think about it.  Jesus, the Living Word, is sweet to your spiritual stomach, or mind.  When you take of the truth of His Word, it fills you and you want all of it.  You also want to share it because it's so nourishing and good.  Christ is the great apple tree and His fruit is perfect and good.
 

Revelation 2:7  "He that hath an ear, let him hear what The Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the paradise of GOD."

Luke 3:9  "And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire." 

Luke 6:43  "For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit; neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit."

In the Garden of Eden, the Tree of Life was Jesus Christ.  The verses in Luke can be applied to our understanding of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, in the Garden of Eden, which was satan.  He is a double-minded, hypocritical being.  He cannot be both good and evil, bringing forth good fruit and corrupt fruit.  "Cast into the fire" is the destination for satan (Rev 20:10), his lieutenants, and those on dark ride no. "13".

Luke 6:44  "For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes."

Luke 6:45  "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.

You know a man by his deeds and ye shall not respect persons in judgment (Deut 1:17).  Satan is physically beautiful and extremely intelligent.  He once held the title of protecting cherub.  If you judge people by the appearance, via carnal measurements and worldly standards, you'll end up loving the world and the things of the world.  This is a simple lesson that many Christians fail to understand, because they love to praise men and their words.  People love "great" teachers, athletes, business men, scientists and musicians, etc, but they don't praise GOD for the very gifts that allow such men to be seen as great in the eyes of mankind. 

Figs and thorns should take your memory back to the events in the Garden of Eden, even to the beginning of the original wheat and tare.  The tares are also the naughty, or bad, figs as spoken of in Jeremiah Ch 24.  The bramble should remind you of Judges Ch 9. 

Judges 9:15  "And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon."

The bramble is basically a spiny shrub or thorn tree.  It's not going to provide you air condition-like shade during the heat of the day, because it doesn't cast much of a shadow.  So the bramble is a liar, like satan, whose shadow brings only deception, confusion and hypocrisy.  In the Bible, the cedars of Lebanon are symbolic of GOD's children.  Now let's go back to the Garden of Eden.

Genesis 2:25  "And they were both naked, the man [Adam] and his wife [Eve], and were not ashamed."

In this verse, it is emphasized that "the man" Adam and his wife, Eve, were nude and not ashamed.  There was nothing for them to be ashamed of, for they hadn't "eaten" or "dined" with satan, yet.  Only innocent souls, such as children, can run together nude through a garden completely unashamed.  Adam and Eve possess no lust or perversions in their minds and hearts at this time.

There is no such thing as a literal, physical tree with a mind of hypocrisy and double-mindedness.  Trees do what GOD intended them to do; they follow GOD's laws of nature and are in complete submission to the ALMIGHTY. 

Genesis 2:16  "And the LORD GOD commanded the man [the Adam], saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:" 

Genesis 2:17  "But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."

Genesis 3:1  "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD GOD had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath GOD said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"

serpent = H5175. nâchâsh (naw-khawsh') - From H5172; a snake (from its hiss): - serpent.

beast = H2416. chay (khah'ee) - From H2421; alive; hence raw (flesh); fresh (plant, water, year), strong; also (as noun, especially in the feminine singular and masculine plural) life (or living thing), whether literally or figuratively: -    + age, alive, appetite, (wild) beast, company, congregation, life (-time), live (-ly), living (creature, thing), maintenance, + merry, multitude, + (be) old, quick, raw, running, springing, troop.

The serpent, satan, is more subtil and cunning than all other flesh in the Garden of Eden.  He's even wiser than the wisest in the ways of the world.  Satan is slick and poses his question in a way that he can setup a trap for half-truths and deception.  He also speaks in the third person, including himself in "every tree of the garden".

Genesis 3:2  "And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:"

Genesis 3:3  "But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, GOD hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."

touch = H5060. nâga‛ (naw-gah') - A primitive root; properly to touch, that is, lay the hand upon (for any purpose; euphemistically, to lie with a woman); by implication to reach (figuratively to arrive, acquire); violently, to strike (punish, defeat, destroy, etc.): - beat, (X be able to) bring (down), cast, come (nigh), draw near (nigh), get up, happen, join, near, plague, reach (up), smite, strike, touch.

Satan, the tree of the knowledge of hypocrisy and double-mindedness, is corrupt and his works are evil.  For a corrupt tree bringeth not forth good fruit.  Interestingly, Eve is the first to mention fruit.  The "fruit" from this tree, as a result of sexual intercourse between a woman and the leader of the fallen angels, satan, is a child (Cain).  Eve will partake of satan's lies and his seed, or sperma.  Fruit is also connected with seed.  There are seeds for sowing (in your mind), seeds for eating (for your physical body) and seeds for procreation.

Eve ended her sentence with "lest ye die", but we know from Genesis 2:17, GOD said "thou shalt surely die".  The phrase, "neither shall ye touch it" is new information to the reader, because they were not stated in Genesis Ch 2.  We're provided with more detail here to what GOD commanded Adam and Eve concerning the trees.  Let's analyze the phrase further and look at the Hebrew word for "touch", which is "naga".  It can mean to touch, or draw near, such as in Exodus 19:12.  Or it can mean to touch in a sexual manner or lie, as in sexual intercourse with someone, as in Genesis 20:6.   

Genesis 20:3  "But GOD came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man's wife."

Genesis 20:6  "And GOD said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against Me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her."

Now, is it a sin to touch a tree?  Or is it a sin to "touch" someone other than your own spouse?  Which version are you going to believe?  Use some common sense here.  GOD's command to Eve was to not touch, or lie, with satan.

Genesis 3:6  "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."

good = H2896. ṭôb (tobe) - From H2895; good (as an adjective) in the widest sense; used likewise as a noun, both in the masculine and the feminine, the singular and the plural (good, a good or good thing, a good man or woman; the good, goods or good things, good men or women), also as an adverb (well): - beautiful, best, better, bountiful, cheerful, at ease, X fair (word), (be in) favour, fine, glad, good (deed, -lier, liest, -ly, -ness, -s), graciously, joyful, kindly, kindness, liketh (best), loving, merry, X most, pleasant, + pleaseth, pleasure, precious, prosperity, ready, sweet, wealth, welfare, (be) well ([-favoured]).

food = H3978. ma'ăkâl (mah-ak-awl') - From H398; an eatable (including provender, flesh and fruit): - food, fruit, ([bake-]) meat (-s), victual.

pleasant = H8378. ta'ăvâh (tah-av-aw') - From H183 (abbreviated); a longing; by implication a delight (subjectively satisfaction, objectively a charm): - dainty, desire, X exceedingly, X greedily, lust (ing), pleasant. See also H6914.

H183. 'âvâh (aw-vaw') - A primitive root; to wish for: - covet, (greatly) desire, be desirous, long, lust (after).

The tree, satan, appeared pleasurable, pleasant and favourable for flesh/fruit, in the carnal sense.  He was "pleasant to the eyes", meaning lust in Eve's eyes.  The word "wise" in this verse refers to carnal knowledge, which is enlightenment in the occult through esoteric knowledge.  The real sin in the Garden was a satanic sex rite, an initiation, and the participants were satan, Eve and Adam.

Satan's not an actual tree and would never use a piece of fruit to tempt anyone.  To put it bluntly, a harlot doesn't tempt you with peaches from trees or pineapples from plants.  The devil's style and method of operation has been the same for thousands of years.  When you hear the WORD as a fable with a talking snake and sinful fruit, you've fulfilled 2 Timothy 4:3-4, and heathens mock you for good reason.  Because, honestly, you're Biblically illiterate and you've put your understanding of the WORD in the hands of indoctrinated men and their systems.  Satan will use things such as pride; perversion; lust; greed; drugs; sex; and fame, etc, to tempt you to go his way, to be a little god... a fake one.  For there is nothing new under the sun.  Satan is the bramble, or thorn tree, the counterfeit lion king.

The Lion King pt 5 - (the lion and adder)

Psalm 91:9  "Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the MOST HIGH, thy habitation;"

Psalm 91:10  "There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling."

Psalm 91:11  "For He [The LORD] shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."

Psalm 91:12  "They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

Psalm 91:13  "Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet."

lion = H7826. shachal (shakh'-al) - From an unused root probably meaning to roar; a lion (from his characteristic roar): - (fierce) lion.

adder = H6620. pethen (peh'-then) - From an unused root meaning to twist; an asp (from its contortions): - adder.

dragon = H8577. tannı̂yn (tan-neen'), tannı̂ym (tan-neem') - (The second form used in Eze_29:3); intensive from the same as H8565; a marine or land monster, that is, sea serpent or jackal: - dragon, sea-monster, serpent, whale.

Satan is a word smith and he likes to contort and twist words like a serpent, or snake.  He will give you 95 percent truth and twist it at the very end, just like he did with Psalm 91 in the temptation in the wilderness.  He does it concerning the real sin in the Garden of Eden.  The devil's law is the law of reversal and turning people to hypocrisy in the process.  The game never changes.

Treading upon the lion and adder means treading on the the devil's agents and satan himself in the name of Jesus CHRIST.  We see that the "lion" and "adder", or "dragon", are to be understood figuratively.  You aren't going into the wilderness in search of actual lions and dragons to trample under your shoes.  In Luke 10:19, Jesus said, "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you".

Luke 10:19 is better translated (from the Greek text), "Behold, I have given you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in anywise hurt you."  That's a promise from Jesus Himself.  The serpent is satan and the serpents, plural, are the very offspring of the devil, the children of Cain, from the real sin in the Garden of Eden.  The scorpions are the fallen watchers, or angels, that will be kicked out of Heaven (Rev 12:9), onto the Earth, pretending to be the good guys, with satan pretending to be Christ. 

Psalm 44:5  "Through Thee will we push down our enemies: through Thy Name will we tread them under that rise up against us."

Luke 9:1  "Then He called His twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases."

As a Christian, you have the authority in Jesus' name over all, and that means all, evil spirits.  It's not us but GOD that delivers, casts out demons and heals the sick.  Our main enemy, or adversary, is satan.  Through the Name of Jesus CHRIST, our Heavenly FATHER will give us the victory against all of our enemies.   

As a student of GOD's Word, we must be able to know when the words, in the WORD, are to be taken literally and when they are to be taken figuratively.  If you're indoctrinated to the point where you cannot apply critical thinking and critical reading towards the WORD, you need to put down what you think you know.  Humbling yourself is a bitter pill to swallow because you have to make yourself a fool, in order to become wise. Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the Kingdom of GOD as a little child, he shall not enter therein" (Mark 10:15).  For a child's mind is open, an indoctrinated mind is closed.  Pray to our FATHER in Heaven for Truth and for eyes to see and ears to hear. 

Now let's go back to the archetype of words smiths, and scripture lawyers, the serpent.  Satan's fluff and lies work like leaven, and a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.  Leaven modifies, lightens and fluffs TRUTH.  Indoctrination will turn your mind upside down, filling it with half-truths and contrary beliefs.  The evil one knows Scripture better than most Christians.  It's unfortunate but true.  However, the devil quotes the Scriptures with a twist.

Matthew 4:5  "Then the devil [satan] taketh Him [JESUS] up into the holy city, and setteth Him on a pinnacle of the temple,"

Matthew 4:6  "And saith unto Him, If Thou be the Son of GOD, cast Thyself down: for it is written, He shall give His angels charge concerning Thee: and in their hands they shall bear Thee up, lest at any time Thou dash Thy foot against a stone."

The evil one has no shame, because he is deliberately misquoting Scripture to Jesus CHRIST.  Jesus is the Living WORD.  But what does that tell you?  Satan is doing the same thing many so-called teachers do this day, misquoting and taking things out of context, fabricating traditions and false doctrines.  Did you catch the adding of "cast thyself down" and lest "at any time"?  The devil also left out "in all thy ways".  A "way" is a path or course of life, your walk with Christ.  GOD will protect you on this journey.  If you test GOD, you are off that path, and His angels will not provide the protection.

The importance of learning and knowing the WORD is vital... it seals your mind with Truth.  If you can see or hear, if you can read and write, the more abilities and skills that GOD has given you, the more you use them towards learning and sharing His WORD.  So why does satan stop at Psalm 91, verse 12?

Psalm 91:13  "Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet."

adder = H6620. pethen (peh'-then); From an unused root meaning to twist; an asp (from its contortions): - adder.

Because Psalm 91, verse 13 refers to satan's own head being crushed (Gen 3:15).  The adder is a venomous snake and it moves by contorting or twisting.  It injects venom, or poison, to immobilize and digest its prey via toxins.  That sounds exactly like satan in a figurative way.  The enemy immobilizes and dissolves the minds of the sheep with indoctrination and false doctrines.  Double-mindedness will render the prey immobile and ready to be used as puppets.  The serpent and the dragon are names of satan.  He is the very same serpent in the Garden of Eden.

Matthew 23:33  "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"

generation = G1081. γέννημα: gennēma (ghen'-nay-mah). From G1080; offspring; by analogy produce (literally or figuratively): - fruit, generation.

G1080. γεννάω: gennaō (ghen-nah'-o). From a variation of G1085; to procreate (properly of the father, but by extension of the mother); figuratively to regenerate: - bear, beget, be born, bring forth, conceive, be delivered of, gender, make, spring.

vipers = G2191. ἔχιδνα: echidna (ekh'-id-nah). Of uncertain origin; an adder or other poisonous snake (literally or figuratively): - viper.

Jesus Himself said, "You serpents, you offspring of vipers".  Now do we understand this to mean a generation of poisonous snakes, or an offspring of satan's children?  Generation, in this verse, is "gennema" in Greek, meaning offspring.  Gennema comes from the word "gennao", meaning to procreate or conceive.  In contrast, the word "generation" in Matthew 12:39 is "genea", which is an age or generation.

Matthew 12:39  "But He [Jesus] answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:"

generation = G1074. γενεά: genea (ghen-eh-ah'). From (a presumed derivative of) G1085; a generation; by implication an age (the period or the persons): - age, generation, nation, time.

Critical thinking is rational thinking.  The Word of GOD never states that one must give up rational thinking, and pick up spiritual stupor, in order to have faith.  The Word tells us to "study to shew thyself approved unto GOD, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth " (2 Tim 2:15).  The word "study" here means to do diligence and make an earnest effort, as a workman or teacher, not just taking some man's word concerning the Scriptures, without first checking things out for yourself. 

Are you really proud of your intelligence or fancy degree?  Well, have you ever studied the Word of GOD and put in even half the effort as you did towards institutional exams and tests?  You have no excuse if you know how to study.  Don't put the intelligence of men and their systems of education over GOD's Word.  One uses critical thinking to improve the process of thinking.  The precepts of men indoctrinate people to accept beliefs uncritically and throw out critical thinking and common sense.  Jesus often pointed out the hypocrisy of men, especially the religious leaders.  Sitting in the pew, being spoon fed watered down doctrines, is easy.  You might be giving too much credit to your teacher's title and the nice church building, thus, putting your spiritual health in the hands of men and their traditions.

Luke 7:31  "And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?"

Luke 7:32  "They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept."

Luke 7:33  "For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil."

Luke 7:34  "The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!"

Luke 7:35  "But wisdom is justified of all her children."

The world, as well as many religious Christians, are double-minded, hypocritical, confused (in Babel), and backwards.  Remember, double mindedness refers to "two", one set of ideas, values and beliefs being right and another set of them being wrong.  Satan employs this tactic to influence hypocrisy and ultimately the great apostasy in the end times.  It's very simple to see, when you have wisdom and understanding in GOD'S Letter to you. 

With some common sense and basic knowledge in science, you know darn well that all of the races didn't come from one man.  You know that the Earth is millions and millions of years old.  So if you understand the facts, yet also accept the religious precepts of men, stating that the Earth is several thousand years old, and all races came from Adam, you're indoctrinated to the point that you have no critical thinking skills and have allowed the leaven of hypocrisy, and double-mindedness, to propagate through your mind.

Keep "two" in your mind looking at it as positive and negative.  There's good and evil, there's the True CHRIST and the false christ, there's truth and lies.  For every positive force, satan will use a counter, an evil, negative force - a negative doctrine for every positive one.  When one accepts two conflicting beliefs, he becomes "two" minded or two-spirited.  It directly lessens critical thinking, which is inward directed to improve the process of thinking as well as maximize rationality.  When one simultaneously believes a truth and it's counter force, a lie, his mind becomes unstable.  The lies include fables that keep you enslaved and in darkness, but the Truth will make you free and bring you into the Light.
