What is the purpose of the Tree of Life's fruit in eternity?
The Tree of Life's fruit in eternity is for the pleasure of those present and to enhance their eternalness. It yields a different fruit each month, providing variety, while its leaves are therapeutic rather than for healing sickness. This reflects an eternal state that includes time factors, vegetation, and continuous enjoyment.
Les explains that the fruits of the Tree of Life are going to be for our pleasure, and the whole idea is that they will enhance our eternalness. The tree yields fruit every month, which indicates a time factor in eternity—whether a 30-day month or something else is unknown—and it evidently brings forth a different fruit than the month before, all for the same purpose. The tree also has leaves, so there will be vegetation much like we have today, alongside the animal kingdom and birds that enhance creation. Les also notes that King James uses the word “healing,” but that is unfortunate because healing implies sickness, and there will be no sickness. The true meaning of the Greek word, as he gathers from a Greek dictionary, is therapeutic.
