Revelation 2:7 · Camden Bucey
I would like to speak a bit about the symbolism of the tree of life in the covenant of works and how the tree of life appears once again in the book of Revelation. In Revelation 2.7 and 22.7. And we want to explore what that means and how it actually informs our understanding of the covenantal arran

Revelation 2:7 · Camden Bucey
I’d love to cover this in a following episode, hopefully just in tandem with this one, where we’ll talk about the symbolism of the tree of life. And just to provide an advanced look at that, certainly the tree of life is present in the garden, but we see it reappear in the book of Revelation, especi
Revelation 2:7 · Camden Bucey
If the tree of life is a sacramental sign and it establishes and is a conduit of God’s relationship between him and his people, and it talks about who God is, and it conveys something real through that established relation, what is the significance of the fact that this tree reappears, especially in
Revelation 2:21 · Lane G. Tipton
without ever yet looking at Revelation 2.21 and 22, what that establishes is this, that the life that is symbolically and sacramentally associated with the tree of life brings into view an advancement of a state. And here’s why I’m wanting to say that. In Eden, the communion that Adam and Eve have w
Revelation 2:7 · Camden Bucey
we could say that you see the tree of life in Revelation 2.7, 22, I believe. It’s there as well. So there seems to be the reward, this presence even after Christ’s work is the reward that was present before Adam even fell into sin. Well, not present, but offered even before he fell into sin. It seem
Revelation 2:7 · Lane G. Tipton
His biblical theology, 1 through 40, we’ve already looked at, but let me give you a quote from his question 22 in Reform Dogmatics. This is on page 46, RD 246. Yeah, volume 2. Listen to it. Yeah, yeah, volume 2. He says this, Revelation 2.7 speaks of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the pa

Revelation 2:7 · Lane G. Tipton
That’s exactly right. Now here’s what’s interesting then. Once you’re viewing Revelation 2.7, which is the text I want us to look at, think of Jesus as the obedient, crucified, glorified last Adam who speaks to his church who will overcome in him. And note the theme. This is critical of overcoming.

And what that indicates on terms that are in Genesis 2 and 3 themselves, without ever yet looking at Revelation 2.21 and 22,
Revelation 2:7 · Lane G. Tipton
I’m the way, the truth, and the life, John 14.6. I’m the resurrection and the life, John 11.24 and 25.26. Jesus is, to the overcomer, will give the right to eat from the tree of life, Revelation 2.7. And he himself, therefore, is the life-giving spirit, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15.45.
Revelation 2:7 · Camden Bucey
But even if you don’t agree with that or won’t follow our exegesis on that, just look at the symbolism of the tree of life. The tree of life is present in Revelation 2.7, Revelation 22 at least, but also in 21 there’s indication there. I might be getting some of my verses mixed up, but it appears ag

and has prepared a place for his people. He goes to prepare a place for them. And what does he promise? He says, I’m going to send the spirit when he goes to heaven.

and John 3.13. Thirdly, omnipotence, which you can see in Revelation 1.8, John 5.19, and Hebrews 1.3. Fourthly, omniscience, John 21.17, 16.30, 2.24-25, and 1.49, but also Revelation 2.23 when compared with 1 Kings 8.29, and then Mark 13.32 is no objection.
