Introductory Lesson 4 

The Figurative Tree and Bird 


Main Reference : Mt 13:31-32 
31 He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. 
32 Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."

2. God's tree and Satan's tree 
1) God's Tree 
Jn 15:1) "I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardner. 
Jn 15:5) "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 
Ez 47:12) Leaves: healing leaves

3. True meaning of Parable of the Bird 
*characteristics: ability to fly, perch on trees 
1) God's bird: Holy Spirit 
Mt 3:16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 

Rv 19:17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, "Come, gather together for the great supper of God, 

2) Satan's bird: evil spirit 
Lk 8:5, 12) bird that snatches away God's word 
Rv 18:2) Babylon: home of unclean and detestable birds 

4. The Conclusion of Two Kinds of Trees 
1) The tree of Life: it grew from the seed of life. 
-> Heaven 
*Jesus was the tree of life 2,000 years ago 
2) The tree of knowledge of good and evil: it grew from the seed of death 
-> Hell 


Mt 7:15-20 
15 "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 
16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 
17 Likewise, every good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 
18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 
19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 
20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. 


What do we need to know today? We should be part of the tree of life with God, not the part of the tree of knowledge of good and evil which is judged.
