History 101

by Christopher Smith, 2012


Tree, Man, Promise (a tree not for man and a promise)

The fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was forbidden, but eaten, and a plan was made for redemption: "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." (Gen 3: 15)

Promise, Tree, Man (a promise on a tree for all man)

"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.'" (Gal 3: 13)

Man, Promise, Tree (man and the promised tree...forever)

"For as many as received Him to them he gave power to become children of God." (John 1:12) "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city." (Rev 22:14)
