<p> [[Genesis]] 3:7 (c) These leaves represent the actions and ways of human beings who attempt to hide their sins under their own righteous acts and deeds. As [[Adam]] and [[Eve]] made these transient coverings for themselves, and used the things which would soon shrink and fade, so self- righteous sinners try to cover up their evil deeds and wicked ways by good works and religious performances. You will note that Adam and Eve hid from GOD after they made the fig leaf aprons. They themselves realized that the aprons did not hide them from the eyes of GOD. Only the precious [[Blood]] of CHRIST avails to hide our sins from a holy Judge. </p> <p> [[Psalm]] 1:3 (b) This type illustrates the bright, attractive, happy life which is lived by that individual in whom is the life of GOD. As the leaf reveals the kind of tree that it is on, so the life of the individual reveals whether or not he belongs to JESUS CHRIST. [[Leaves]] usually represent a profession, but not necessarily the possession of eternal life. </p> <p> Isaiah 6:13 (b) By this we are taught that though one may be a [[Christian]] and have the real gift of eternal life, he may be having a winter-time in his experience, when the leaves are not to be seen. </p> <p> A live tree may have no leaves on it because of the conditions that exist. </p> <p> Isaiah 64:6 (a) As leaves fade, so the human life fades. Some grow more beautiful as they grow older. They become more attractive with age. As many leaves grow more beautiful, waxen, and tinted when they are ready to fall, so some lives are more glorious in their closing days. Other leaves, however, fade in a most unattractive way. They are sear, yellow, worm-eaten, curled, shrunken, and very unsightly. No one wants them. They are quickly swept up and burned. [[Many]] lives are like that. The individual grows sour, fault-finding, critical, demanding, and there is no grief when he falls and is swept away into eternity. </p> <p> Jeremiah 17:8 (b) By this figure we are taught that the person who walks with GOD in happy communion with Him will be a constant testimony and will continually bear fruit for GOD. The leaves represent both confession and profession. The godly Christian will never hide his identity with CHRIST, but will always be confessing Him. </p> <p> Ezekiel 17:9 (b) In this graphic way the Lord is telling us that in the time of persecution [[Israel]] would lose her identity with GOD and would no longer profess to be the people of GOD. They do retain their physical identity but their spirituality has disappeared. The present nation of Israel is a godless nation, with no recognition at all of the great truths of the sacrifices, the temple, and the Lord GOD. </p> <p> Ezekiel 47:12 (b) Here we see a type of the constancy, beauty and certainty of the profession and confession of the real child of GOD. The believer is represented as GOD's tree, planted in GOD's Word, and permeated by the [[Spirit]] of GOD. </p> <p> Daniel 4:12-21 (b) By this figure we are told that the profession and identity of the great king were clear, plain and definite until GOD cast him down from his throne. </p> <p> Matthew 21:19 (b) In this way we learn of the empty profession of the nation of Israel who claimed to be GOD's people. Their hearts were not right with GOD, and they produced no fruit for His glory. This figure also may apply to individuals who are members of some church, are active in the Christian life, and yet are not themselves saved by grace, and redeemed by the Blood. </p> <p> Revelation 22:2 (b) This is probably a type of the blessings and graces of CHRIST which are innumerable in number. They have their source in GOD's heart, and bring the blessings of [[Heaven]] to those who belong to the Lord. </p> | |||
