Understanding Trees

In Genesis 1:1 God created the heaven and the earth.

The earth was without form and void with God moving upon the face of the waters. Verse 6 God SAID let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters. Verse 10 shows the appearance of dry land and verse 11 God said for the earth to bring forth grasses and trees.

Bring forth in the Greek Concordance means to sprout. And the earth brought forth. Where in Genesis 1 to verse 12 does it show a creation of the grasses and trees? The grasses and trees already were in existence and brought forth to the earth.

The tree in verse 12 according to the Greek means to make firm but with eyes closed or shut.

Mat 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.

In order for Satan, (a created soul), to fall from heaven to the earth, Satan had to exist prior to the creation of this earth when he fell from heaven into the Garden of Eden.

Genesis 2:7 God forms man and becomes alive. Formed in the Greek is to squeeze into shape.

Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Psalms 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

According to Matthew and Psalms, you are a tree. Satan is the representation of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. A soul is not “in” the tree of life, or a part of the tree of life unless it is pleasant to the sight and shuns the tree of good and evil.
