Gen.1.31 "Good- the tree of good and evil.' (2 of 2)
Everything that God made was good but what does God see in a man who stops short at the sixth day? Evil is it not? "And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day."(1.31) The Holy Spirit in introducing the Covenant uses this ubiquitous term,'behold' to preface the verse,'it was good.' Behold refers to signify it was according the word. It serves us the voice of the Lord, a sound as well as a sign.
It was thus God planted the garden. "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."
In the midst of it God sets two witnesses as the two 'great' lights in heaven.
The tree of knowledge of good and evil refers to the two generations one of Jesus Christ and the other who refused to enter into the rest of God. Without 'I am the truth', the believer lost his way and also life. Thus the tree of life was for the blessed believer and the other for the children of darkness. It is for this reason the Holy Spirit introduced in v.2 core value of the scripture: Generation of Jesus Christ. "And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." The tree of life on one part shall judge the other. God made it clear. Without the Son a man is under judgment. In his Son was life, the light of men. "And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man."(Jn.5.27)
