What stands on either side of the river?
Answer
"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." Verse 2.
NOTE - The tree of life which Adam lost through transgression is to be restored by Christ. Access
to this is one of the promises to the overcomer. Rev. 2: 7. Its bearing twelve kinds of fruit, a new kind each
month, suggests a reason why in the new earth "from one new moon to another," as well as "from one
Sabbath to another," all flesh is to come before God to worship, as stated in Isa. 66:22,23.
