Tree
Redwoods are the word's tallest trees, ranging from 10 to 20 feet in diameter and towering over 300 feet high. They can live to be 2000 years old! At the very beginning of time, long before today's giant redwoods were seedlings, there were two other kinds of powerful trees: the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God warned Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; if they did, they would die. Deceived by Satan, they ate from it anyway, and they were sent away from the Garden of Eden and the tree of life. Their one act of disobedience plunged humankind into an existence of separation from God.

The Bible begins and ends with gardens. In Eden, the tree of knowledge of good and evil brought death. In the heavenly garden, the tree of life will give healing to all people.
