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 3 (ligers, trunks and the blink of an eye)

We now have a better understanding, from The Lion King I and II, about lions and lionesses, as well as their different roles and responsibilities in the pride. GOD made his plants and animals just the way He likes them. We don't mess around with His creation.

A liger is a hybrid cat, a cross between a male lion and a female tiger. The liger's parents both belong to the genus panthera, but they are separate species. The liger is a huge feline and can grow over 10 feet long and weigh nearly 1,000 pounds. Ligers are intentionally bred by men, and in the wild, they occur only in legends.

Genesis 6:2 "That the sons of God [fallen watchers/angels] saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."

Genesis 6:4 "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." [first and second influx; after their destruction by the flood, as well as before it]

The subject of ligers should bring to mind the Nephilim. The giant offspring from the sexual union between the fallen watchers and women are known as the Nephilim. Like the Nephilim, ligers are giants, too. Unnatural mixing causes problems and produces unnatural results, so does pollution caused by man. Hybrid offspring end up with genetic problems, defects, deformities and just all around strangeness, such as oversized offspring with extra fingers and toes.

Tigresses suffer while giving birth to oversized liger cubs. So you can imagine what women went through giving birth to giant Nephilim babies. The fallen watchers taught men "the smitings of the embryo in the womb", meaning abortion, and likely c-sections, when it came to the birthing of giant offspring.

The world has been obsessed with fallen stars (e.g. Greek false idol gods, hollywood stars, fictional heroes), since the "men of renown", or "sons of God", in the days of Noah. The original fallen stars were the fallen angels that seduced the daughters of Adam, including two failed attempts to utterly pollute the seedline from which CHRIST would be born. The Greeks, Egyptians, Babylonians as well as other civilizations worshipped the fallen watchers, or their offspring, as their (false) gods.

The perversions started by the fallen watchers and Nephilim continued amongst men and a second influx of watchers, though smaller in size, occurred later after the flood. The events from the first influx of the fallen ones brought about Noah's flood. GOD would destroy the Nephilim, or demonic hybrids, with one devastating flood. Satan's plan to pollute the Adamic seedline from which CHRIST, the SAVIOR, would come through would not succeed.

Enoch 6:1-2 "And it came to pass when the children of men had multiplied that in those days were born unto them beautiful and comely daughters. And the angels, the children of the heaven [fallen watchers/angels], saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: 'Come, let us choose us wives from among the children of men and beget us children."

The sons of GOD, or fallen ones, lusted after the daughters of Adam. So too, did their leader, because satan (the serpent) lusted after and wholly seduced Eve, the first Adamic woman, in the Garden of Eden. An evil leader is never less evil than his followers, or he won't last as their leader for long. If the fallen watchers, the followers of satan, seduced their victims into sexual perversions, the same also applies to the works of their leader.

Sirach 10:2 "As the judge of the people is himself, so are his officers; and what manner of man the ruler of the city is, such are all they that dwell therein."

If Sodom and Gomorrah were filled with homosexual, child molesting perverts, you can bet that the rulers were the same. It's completely erroneous to believe that satan's mission in the Garden of Eden was to deceive Eve and Adam into eating some kind of forbidden fruit, such as an apple. The first time that the word "apple" appears in the Bible is in the Book of Deuteronomy (32:10), where it states that the LORD will guard His people as the apple, or pupil, of His eye. The second time apple is mentioned is in Psalms (17:8), where David asks the LORD to keep him as the apple of the eye. The third appearance is in Proverbs (7:2) which states, "Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye."

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 fourth time the word "apple" shows up is in the Song of Solomon. Here the girl, representing the bride of Christ, 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, and you also want to share it because it's so nourishing and good.

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.

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil, in Eden, was satan. The knowledge of good and evil means carnal knowledge, false duality, "two" minded or two-spirited, and hypocrisy. There was no literal eating of "forbidden" apples. Jesus Christ, the Tree of Life, or as the Shepherd, an apple tree, is not a literal tree. Satan was not a literal tree, either.

The trees are symbolic of people, hence "I see men as trees, walking" in Mark 8:24. 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.

And how does your body guard the pupil of your eye? With lots of care! Your brain guards your pupils so well, that you can't even not blink for mere seconds. It's why we even have a blinking contest. The brain has a "blinking center" that controls the automatic nerve action of blinking. In Hebrew, the literal translation for "apple of the eye" is "little man of the eye" in Deuteronomy 32:10, Psalms 17:8 and Proverbs 7:2, as referenced above. So what do you see in the reflection of another person's pupils? A tiny version of yourself. And if you abide in Christ, He abides in you! You can see the love of Jesus Christ in the eyes of another Christian.

So how do you eat an "apple" or "forbidden fruit" off a tree that's not a tree, but satan himself? You can't. It's a different kind of fruit and a different kind of seed. It's also impossible for all the races of mankind to come from one man. And if you didn't notice, all of the races, then being hunters and gatherers, were created on the Sixth Day. If you believe that all men came from Adam, you're not making sense. In Genesis 2:5-8, after the Seventh Day, the Word states that there was not a man to till the ground, so the LORD GOD, as the Potter, formed "the man Adam" of the dust of the earth and breathed life into his nostrils, and Adam became a living soul. GOD placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to be the first farmer, husbandman, and man priest.

The first Adam was tempted by satan in the Garden of Eden. Adam and Eve were both seduced by the serpent, satan, who even spoke of himself, in the third person, as one of the "trees" in the Garden. Satan seduced Eve and basically told her that if she sleeps with him, she can attain enlightenment and become a goddess, to be worshipped and adored. She saw that the "tree", satan, was "pleasant to the eyes", meaning "lust of the flesh". We'll get into the verse by verse explanations of the Book of Genesis in later studies.

The following words can be found in Genesis, starting from the end of Ch 2 and onto Ch 3: man; woman; wife; "they were both naked"; "were not ashamed"; "ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die"; "your eyes shall be opened"; "ye shall be as gods"; "pleasant to the eyes"; "a tree to be desired to make one wise"; "gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat"; "eyes of both of them were opened"; "knew that they were naked"; "she gave me of the tree, and I did eat"; "the serpent beguiled me and I did eat"; "thy seed and her seed"; conception; children. Only innocent souls, such as children, can run around naked in a garden, completely unashamed. In the Garden of Eden, this didn't last very long. The "liger" from the sexual union of the serpent and Eve was Cain. Obviously, Cain was not a literal "liger", or "tigon" (a hybrid cross between a male tiger and female lion), or tree, but you get the point now.
