The garden of Eden - עֵדֶן `Eden - Meaning: Eden=
"pleasure"
The term, the Tree of life are used in a few
scriptures, let’s read:
Gen.2
[9] And out of the ground made Yehovah 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.
Gen.2
[17] But of the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it: for
in the day that you eat thereof you shall surely die.
Gen.3
[22] And Yehovah God said, Behold, the
man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put
forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat,
and live for ever: [23] Therefore Yehovah God sent him forth from the garden of
Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
[24] So he drove out the man; and he placed
at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned
every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Prov.3
[13] Happy is the man that findeth wisdom,
and the man that gets understanding.
[14] For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and
the gain thereof than fine gold.[15] She is more precious than rubies: and all
the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.[16] Length of
days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.
[17] Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.[18] She
is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is
every one that retaineth her.
Prov.11
[30] The fruit of the righteous is a tree
of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
Prov.13
[12] Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but
when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.
Prov.15
[4] A wholesome tongue is a tree of
life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
Rev.2
[7] He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give
to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Rev.22
[1] And he showed me a pure river of water
of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
[2] In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was
there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her
fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the
nations.
[3] And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb
shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
[4] And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
[5] And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light
of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign
for ever and ever.
[6] And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and
the Yehovah God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants
the things which must shortly be done.

An evil spirit from God sent…
Judg.9 [23] Then God
sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously
with Abimelech:
1 Sam.16[14] But the Spirit of Yehovah departed from Saul,
and an evil spirit from Yehovah troubled him.
[15] And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold now, an evil
spirit from God troubleth thee.
[16] Let our lord now command your servants, which are
before thee, to seek out a man, who is a cunning player on an harp: and it shall come
to pass, when the evil spirit from God is upon thee,
that he shall play with his hand, and you shall be well.
[23] And it came to pass, when the evil
spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and played with his
hand: so Saul was refreshed, and was well, and the evil spirit departed
from him.
1 Sam.18 [10] And it came to pass on the
morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon
Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his
hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand.
1 Sam.19 [9] And the evil
spirit from Yehovah was upon Saul, as he sat in his house with his javelin in
his hand: and David played with his hand.
Evil spirits:
Luke 7 [21] And in that same hour he
cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits;
and unto many that were blind he gave sight.
Luke 8 [2] And certain
women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary
called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
Acts 19 [12] So that from his body were
brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from
them, and the evil spirits went out of them. [13] Then
certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which
had evil spirits the name of the Lord Yeshua, saying, we adjure you
by Yeshua whom Paul preacheth.
[15] And the evil spirit answered and
said, Yeshua I know, and Paul I know; but who are you? [16] And
the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and
overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house
naked and wounded.
2
Cor.11
[13]
… false
apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of
Messiah.
[14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of
light.
[15]
Therefore it is no great thing if Satan’s ministers also be transformed as
the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their
works.
2 Cor.4
[3]
But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
[4] In whom the god
of this world had blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Messiah, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
John 14
[30]
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and hath nothing in me.
John
16
[11]
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
Rev.12
[9]
And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil,
and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was cast out into
the earth, and his angels were cast out with him
[10]
And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength,
and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Messiah: for the
accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and
night.
[11] And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word
of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death
[12]
Therefore rejoice, you heavens, and you that dwell in them. Woe to the
inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto
you, having great wrath, because
he knoweth that he had but a short time.
2 Thes

[1]
Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and
by our gathering together unto him,
[2] That you be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor
by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Messiah is at hand.
[3] Let
no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come,
except there come a falling away first, (apostasy) and that man of sin
be revealed, the son of perdition;
[4] Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is
worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that
he is God.
[5]
Remember you not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
[6] And now you know what withholds that he might be revealed in his time.
[7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will
let, until he be taken out of the way.
[8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall
consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of
his coming:
[9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying
wonders,
[10] And with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that perish; because they
received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
[11] And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should
believe a lie:
[12] That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but
had pleasure in unrighteousness.
[13] But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of
the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through
sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
[14] Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of
our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
[15] Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have
been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
[16]
Now our Lord Yeshua the Messiah himself, and God, even our Father, which hath
loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through
grace,
[17] Comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
Josh.24
[14] Now therefore fear Yehovah, and serve
Him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served
on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye Yehovah.
[15] And if it seem evil unto you to serve Yehovah, choose you this day
whom you will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were
on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye
dwell:
but as for me and my house, we will serve
Yehovah.
1 John 2 [16] For all that is in the
world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life,is not of the Father,
but is of the world.
[17] And the world passes away,
and the lust thereof:but he / or she that does the
will of God abides forever.
In closing for now:
John said: - 1 John
2 [21] I have not written unto you because
you know not the truth but because you know it, and that no
lie is of the truth.
I am reminded again to inform you to beware
of the false image
of love, false emotions, loneliness, depression, financial
drain, suicide and the artificial false festival lights they
put up.
Satan really sets the stage to deceive you.
Beware
if you feel or hear a voice telling you to separate yourself from the
congregation, go off on your own and read or whatever.
Be safe out there; keep your
eyes open if you are around crowds, malls etc…
