Just following up on my study of the "healing of the nations" and the significance of the tree of life. It all corresponds to "service."
Notice the following scriptures:
Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.
Proverbs 12:12 The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Jeremiah 17:8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.
There you have it. Scripture after scripture stating how our faithfulness in serving God is depicted as a tree bearing leaves and yielding fruit unceasingly.
Need I say more?

I have read both posts on this subject. I believe you are correct as to what the "healing of the nations" means. I've also heard it explained different ways. I agree that we won't need any healing, so it has to mean something else.
It ties it all together. Service.
Good posts and also a good study.
