The Growth of the Tree of KG&E and the Son

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (Genesis 2:17 KJV)

Before Eve was formed from Adam, God made him aware of the tree of KG&E that grew in the center of the Garden of Eden. The tree of KG&E was not dead or dying, it was growing. The knowledge contained in it was placed there by God Himself. God did not want man to have this knowledge because God is holy; and He wanted His creation to be holy also. So His command was that man did not eat from this tree.

God’s plan for His creation was complete before He created man. His glory was designed in His plan, and His plan for dealing with evil was also designed in His plan. God’s glory is best revealed when it triumphs over its opposition. Evil is the only opposition there is to Good. And its knowledge continues to grow just like the knowledge of Good.

God revealed His plan to the serpent when Adam confessed what he had done. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Genesis 3:14-15 KJV) 

God’s anger is revealed here, but what is not revealed here is God’s mercy on the serpent. God’s plan included a global stage to be set. The serpent; being the incarnation of evil itself, is allowed to be used to reveal who among all of those born from the decedents of His creation, that would honor His Word.

Time was given to man and to the serpent. Knowledge was to be acquired of both good and evil by man, and evil was used as the test of man’s application of faith. The sons of Adam and Eve were the first recorded having used the knowledge of good and evil. Able used the knowledge of good and was favored by God. Cain used the knowledge of evil and was marked by God for so doing. But there was another son born to Adam and Eve, His name was Seth, and his offspring called upon the name of God. “And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. 
And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.’ (Genesis 4:25 KJV)

The considerations of man to choose which knowledge to use grew from this point. As did the applications of faith; used primarily by those who called upon the name of the Lord. Today, we have among us those who have chosen to call upon and serve evil. The mercy given to the serpent has yielded him devoted followers just as it did in heaven. And the knowledge of evil continues to grow among mankind.

The tree of KG&E continues to grow in the Garden of Eden where God placed it. And from the eating of that fruit, mankind continues to use it. God’s plan to not loose all of His creation to this single act of disobedience was completed by the birth, life, death and resurrection of His Son; Jesus.

Though the decedents of Cain may have been removed from the world by the Flood, the ability to choose the knowledge of evil over good was not. Men and women today demonstrate by their actions and their voices which knowledge they have chosen. And yet, God has provided His grace to all of them; making His Son available to all who choose to surrender to Him and obey His Word.

The tree of KG&E may stand forever where God has placed it; but what was allowed to happen with God’s creation may never ever be allowed again. The battle between Good and evil that is taking place as you read this is coming to an end. The time given to man and to the serpent is coming to an end. Many have been deceived into thinking that what has been written in the Word of God is not true. It is written that many of God’s creation will be lost. "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it.” For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it," (Matt. 7:13-14)

In the knowledge of Good lies the knowledge of Jesus; find it and choose it while you still can. My life has been one of a sinful man, and it has only been by the grace of God that I have been able to find Jesus and choose to obey His Word. It is by an abiding relationship with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit that my knowledge of Good has far outweighed my knowledge of anything else. By no other means am I able to share this with you. Your knowledge of Good and evil and His Son is the only valuable knowledge that you need to consider at this time. Because, the time you have to do this, is quickly running out. Do not allow yourself to be deceived. Read John 3:16
