Revelation 22-Tree of Life with heavenly fruit!

The River of Life

1Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2down the middle of the main street of the city. On either side of the river stood a tree of life, producing twelve kinds of fruit and yielding a fresh crop for each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

Psalm 46:4–5 (NKJV)

4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,

The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.

5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;

God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.

You’ve heard the saying, “it is what it is”? 

Spurgeon alludes to it here.

“The picture presented to the mind’s eye would appear to be that of a wide street, with a river flowing down the center, like some of the broader canals of Holland, with trees growing on either side, all of them of the same kind, all called the tree of life. I do not know how we can make the figure out in any other way.” (Spurgeon)

“producing twelve kinds of fruit and yielding a fresh crop for each month.” 

Can we eat in heaven? I believe we can as Jesus did after the resurrection and angels did with Abraham. 

In this verse we have 12 different kinds of heavenly fruit and a new crop monthly! 

I wonder what heavenly fruit tastes like?

Blessings, David
