Tree of life.

Hi truth,
Here is an excerpt that should help with your questions.
http://bible-truths.com/lake4.html ------------------
The eighth day of this Feast of Tabernacles was called "The Last Great Day of the Feast." Jesus Christ Himself came to the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem and spoke on the Last Great Day:
"In the last day, that GREAT DAY OF THE FEAST, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If ANY MAN thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of LIVING WATER" (John 7:37-38).
At what point in future prophecy, will Jesus Christ CUT OFF the invitation to all and any who are athirst to drink of His LIVING WATERS? Our Lord NEVER cuts off the invitation to drink of the living waters. These waters (a symbol for God’s SPIRIT) will be available until every creature in heaven and earth is saved:
"And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the FOUNTAIN OF THE WATER OF LIFE FREELY" (Rev. 21:6).
"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And WHOSOEVER WILL, let him take the WATER OF LIFE FREELY" (Rev. 22:17).
And this declaration is made just five verses before the END OF THE BIBLE!
But don’t be deceived, Jesus Christ IS the "tree of life" in the Garden, and NO ONE can partake of that tree of life except he first pass the through the "FLAMING SWORD" that points in all directions and guards the tree of life. Remember, "Our God is a CONSUMING FIRE" (Heb. 12:29).

"She[ Wisdom of God] is a tree of life to those who embrace her..." ( Proverbs 3:18)
[ Christ the Power and Wisdom of God ] For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but it is God’s power to us who are being saved.(1 Corinthians 1:18,24)
I hope that clarifies the mist!

Jesus is never referred to as 'she'. The parable you quoted from Proverbs uses a figure of speech known as personification...where something is spoken of as a person. God does this all the time throughout the scriptures. Wisdom is the ability to apply knowledge, not a person, entity, or deity.
Hope this helps,

Hey truth. I think I came across your YouTube videos when I first started studying what hell really is according to Scripture. Great videos! Interesting question. I'm pretty sure if there was a literal tree of life it symbolized Christ but how do you take from a literal yet symbolic tree and live forever? If the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was literal then you'd think the tree of life was also... it doesn't make sense for it to be literal but "lest they take and eat..." doesn't seem to make sense if it weren't literal.

So the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is distinct and different from the tree of life (Jesus), right?
