What does Revelation 22 say about the tree of life and its fruit?
Revelation 22 says the fruit of the tree of life will grow on both sides of the river. It will provide fruit twelve months of the year. Its purpose is to be eaten. This shows that resurrected bodies can ingest food, with no need for sanitation and a totally different chemistry.
Les explains that Revelation 22 describes the fruit of the tree of life growing on both sides of the river and providing fruit twelve months of the year, and its purpose is to be eaten. He connects this to the resurrected body, teaching that we will have pleasures this world knows nothing of, including eating without weight, diabetic, or high blood pressure problems. He says there will be no need for sanitation, and the chemistry will be totally different because what is eaten will be totally consumed rather than only a small percentage. This follows the example of the resurrected Christ eating broiled fish and honeycomb.
