Bible Question:
In Revelation 22:1-21 (v 2- The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. This raises several questions for me: a) If this is the perfect state, why the need for healing and b) Where do these nations com from and who are they? |
Bible Answer: Now those are some good questions! Who are these nations? Where do they come from? Why do they need healing? The Bible doesn't tell us these things. But it's very provocative to think about, wondering what God may have in store for us in the ages to come. There is a similar passage in Ezekiel 47:12 "By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing." If I were to speculate based on the plainest reading of this passage, well, I probibly shouldn't! :-) Love in Christ, Mark |
