Every farmer know "the laws of nature" concerning the fruit trees and the process of nutrition; trees have their own natural laws, growth, needs. When Jesus decided to explain to mankind what the Kingdom of heaven it's all about, He gave to us many examples taken from our daily life, and most of all the life ofa shepard and the life of a farmer.
The seeds, the soil, the sheeps, the trees, the fruit are all example of man daily life and God's style; afterall in this earth we do things, that God Himself did before us. It is God that planted the trees before we did, it's God Himself that before man, made the grass and the crops, it is God Himself that made the sheeps for us to eat. What we do in this world, is nothing less and nothing more, that what God did already; we are a replica of Heavenly work.
The tree of Life is also something we can learn from the Bible, but what many people did not meditate enough, it's the "grafting of the Gentiles into Israel" and the cost of it. Grafting it's like a "surgical operation" for the tree, and "the cut" to place a foreign or unknown branch, it's an operation that has conseguences and advantages. The conseguences are for the tree, that must adapt to this "new branch" and must "carry the sap" for this new branch. But also for the new branch there are conseguences: the new branch receives the sap to grow freely, without doing anything, but it cannot tell the tree that he is better that the tree himself.
The branch flourishes without doing anything, while the tree keeps doing his job, without asking the branch for anything; this example is the story of Israel and the gentiles, of the Tree of Life and the world comparing to the Nation of Israel, and most of all this is God's plan for Israel and the world and for the Final blowsom of the ONE HOLY TREE, where there is a place for everyone. But each one in his own place!
The letter fo the Romans teachs about this Holy plan, using the example of the Tree, the branch, the surgical grafting that the branch had to go hrough and the pain of the tree, when "the cut" was made to add to the tree, a little branch in order to give to the world, the same fruit the good tree will make for himself.
The farmer knows too well that when a branch is grafted into a tree, is "making a cut" to the tree, and in order to keep the little branch attached, he must "make a bandage" around the branch, to make possible the healing of the little cut made to be graft it in.
We understand this notion of "surgical cut" or "surgical grafting" only when we feel it in our own body, when for any reasons, we undergo a surgical operation to remove or add in our own body of flash, a piece of leg or arm. For some reasons in a very Spiritual Way God was teaching us to pay attention to what He was going to do when, grafting the world into His Holy Tree Israel, we would be given Life to become ONE UNITED and Blessed Holy Tree, that would bear good fruits not only for ourselfs, but for God.
God therefore "set a condition" not only for the grafted branch (the gentile christians), but also for the "original tree"(Israel and the jews), in order to make clear either to the tree than to the branch, that to bear much good fruit, one must be UNITED in respect of God's desire. Abba' God in fact is many times described as the farmer, but also as the winegrower, to show that not only He is the ONE who does the grafting, but also the ONE who does the good wine. God is an expert in farming and crops, and He knows when, how and wich plant needs be taken care of.
In the Gospel Jesus gave many examples of a shepard working with his flock, the farmer working in his land, and finally the good winegrower who is an expert of good wines.
Nowdays wine has seen a boom in our modern tables, with many variety of red and whites, from everypart of the world, but it's true one thing; to Israel God promised good wines and good fruits, all kind of animals to eat and enjoy and a Land where this good harvest would take place. So in order to be "part of this good life", we must both, jews and gentiles follow the "laws of Nature" that are also the laws that God Himself put into place to make the world.
In our modern day we might find new ways to grow things, but the Natural laws cannot be changed; we must go thruogh the process that God set for us since the beginning.
The story of a good Tree is the story of Israel, the story of "a little branch" is the story of the gentiles, and the story of a Tree that gives good fruits and happiness, is the story of how both the tree and the branch, are able to go trough the "process of the surgical grafting" together, to be able to be at the end, once the branch is grafted in, and TOGETHER BE ONE UNIQUE TREE OF LIFE for the world and for God.
Sometimes we have the solution for people dubt and hunger, but we refuse to follow the simple Natural law of God to be fruitful, happy, and prosperous. God made sure we know one thing: we are fruitful, happy and prosperous together, and there is no way the branch (gentiles) or the original tree (Israel) can bear fruit alone or detached: WE ARE STRONG TOGETHER and togher we are in the original project God made for mankind. In the Beginning God chose Israel and in the final stage God made sure nobody WILL BE HAPPY WITHOUT ISRAEL!
Letter to the Romans 11: the Ingrafted Branches
11 Again I ask: Did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery? Not at all! Rather, because of their transgression, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel envious. 12 But if their transgression means riches for the world, and their loss means riches for the Gentiles, how much greater riches will their full inclusion bring!
13 I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I take pride in my ministry 14 in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. 15 For if their rejection brought reconciliation to the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead? 16 If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you. 19 You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in.” 20 Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith.Do not be arrogant, but tremble. 21 For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either.
22 Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. 23 And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. 24 After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
All Israel Will Be Saved
25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in,26 and in this way[e] all Israel will be saved. As it is written:
There is an "impatiance" in the world to see this Tree of Life blossom in all it's magnifice and beauty, a ....of what "it lies at head of us" when thing will "start falling into place", when the painful "surgical cut" will get healed and the branch will start to blossom (christians) just like the original Tree (Israel and the jews). The tree herself must heal from it and must recognise that "an operation form above was made" and a little branch mas grafted, and it's now part of the tree.
On the other side, the branch must heal too from been grafted, and make sure it does not boost against the tree, thinking that alone could grow, becouse this is not the case: it is the tree that gives life to the brances (natural or grafted) and it's the tree that carries the brances, and not viceversa.
In the same Spiritual and Heavenly Way, Israel is the Tree of Life from God to the world, and ONE BRANCH ONLY was cut off, in order to fit in and add in surgical way the worldwide Christians, in order for them to graft in and enjoy the "Sap of Life". This is the original project from God and both the Tree (Israel) and the branch (christians of the world) must understand.
The Letter to the Romans, that are also the priviledged people that weere given the "temporary" mission to bear much fruit, while the Tree of Israel was healing from the grafting, give us a clear explanation of what can happend to a fragile branch grafted in by a surgical operation; a branch is a little piece of wood grafted in, and if this branch become arrogant against the tree of Israel, it can and it will be "CUT OFF", LOOSING ALL FRUITS AND BENEFIT OF GOOD LIFE WITH GOD.
This is in a way the risk that some branches of Christianity is risking in our modern times: for the fact that Christianity blossomed so much, does not mean it did blossom on it's own; even if the tree of Israel was in pain and "temporarily" unabled, it does not mean that Israel did not give life to the branch. And taking advantage of someone that is healing from a wound, is very wrong too!
The letter to the Romans explains quiet too well, that the bad and attogant branch can be cut off, while the tree will anyway continue to bear fruits and grow. So it's not Israel that will take advantage of the branch added to it, but it's the brunch fortune to be grafted into Israel.
This is what modern Israel and moder Christianity must learn quickly before the time comes to his closing period: we either understand that the grafted branch of Christianity must make changes and stop been arrogant aganst Israel, or they will be cut off forever, and become a dry useless piece of wood, that is good for nothing else that to be burned off.
The cost of been grafted into Israel
God did not grafted 2 branches but only one, and islam is not part of this project: God grafted in into Israel only Christianity by making the christians ecceting the jewish Messiah as the pre-condition to be part of God's original Tree of Life. So the new wicked and abnormal attempt by the Vatican and by some Christians denominations, to graft in also islam and the islamic bad doctrine into Israel, is completly evil and false. Christians and the Vatican cannot change the original plan of God, to open the door to the "rest of the world" by the means of the Jewish Messiah, making a new cut into the Tree of God, but the gentiles must respect God's plan.
Islam is not a Godly religion but a fake cult masked as religion in order to pervert and divert God's plan for Israel and the world, to enter the Kingdom of God trough Israel. Any attempt by the evil and wicke dVatican to change God's origila plan, will have the conseguence of CUTTING OFF not only the all Vatican establishment, but also any single Christian that follows this evil way of acting.
The cost for been grafted into Israel has a very important responsability; there is a costa for everything in life, and more than ever to be "grafted in" the Tree of Life under God's Supervision!
After the 70th Celebration of Israel rebirth, whoever fights Israel, will be cut off from God's original project of prosperity, and whoever perverts and deceive others, in regards of it, will see only his destruction! Now it's time to be with Israel!
