Good Trees and Rotten Trees

27 March 2011

By Mark Farquharson

As a person, you are a good tree or not a good tree. This is not based on what people call a good person or a bad person. Someone could say that a person is good because of all the good things they do, like helping people, but this is not the definition of a Good Tree, in terms of the scriptures.

An Ideal or Good Tree is a person who is spiritually in Christ. It is not all those who call themselves Christian, these are not ideal trees. It is only those who have been chosen, who have true faith in Jesus Christ, that are the Ideal trees.

Luke 6:43-45 For an ideal tree is not producing rotten fruit; again, neither is a rotten tree producing ideal fruit." For each tree is known by its own fruit. For not from thorns are they culling figs, neither from a thorn bush are they picking grapes." The good man out of the good treasure of his heart is bringing forth that which is good, and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure of his heart is bringing forth that which is wicked, for out of the superabundance of the heart his mouth is speaking." {CLV}

The tree, person will be known by its fruit. Thus a person who has true faith, true knowledge of Jesus and of God, will know of their true love for all. Thus this person will produce ideal fruit, by informing people about this love. This idea tree is not producing rotten fruit. The rotten tree is producing rotten fruit. This person is bringing that which is wicked.

Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree ideal and its fruit ideal, or make the tree rotten and its fruit rotten, for by its fruit the tree is known." {CLV}

If you know and believe in the true love of God and Jesus for all, then you should also know that a tree, a person can be changed. Thus the tree which is not ideal can be made ideal. Through out history there has been chosen a destine for all trees. This destine was chosen by God, either you would be a rotten tree or a ideal tree. If chosen for being an idea tree, then at some point you would change from the tree you were to the good tree.

Matthew 7:15-20 Take heed of those false prophets who are coming to you in the apparel of sheep, yet inside they are rapacious wolves." From their fruits you shall be recognizing them. Not from thorns are they culling grapes, nor from star thistles figs." Thus every good tree ideal fruit is producing, yet the rotten tree noxious fruit is producing." A good tree can not bear noxious fruit, neither is a rotten tree producing ideal fruit." Every tree not producing ideal fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. Consequently, from their fruits you shall surely be recognizing them." {CLV}

There have been many false prophets, that come in sheep’s clothing, but are rapacious wolves. From their fruits, what they say and do, you shall be recognizing them. A good tree is not bear noxious fruit. The noxious fruit out there these days is all the preaching about people burning in hell or being annihilated. All these trees unless they change to ideal trees, will be hewn down and cast into the fire. That is they will be cast into the lake of fire at the White Throne Judgement. For an in-depth study on the Judgement refer to my: “Judgement Series”

Every tree that is not an ideal tree producing the ideal fruit will be hewn down and cast into the fire. That means everyone that did not become an idea tree will be case into the fire. It does not matter if they did not preach about the burning fires of hell or annihilation, the fact is they did not become the idea tree, they did not produce the idea fruit. If you are one of the idea trees however you will know that the lake of fire is not their end, but actually their next step in bringing them to salvation. In the end all mankind will be idea trees producing idea fruit.

A tree planted by waters:

Jeremiah 17:7-8 Blessed is the man Who trusteth in Yahweh, To whom Yahweh is his ground of confidence; For he shall become like a tree planted by waters, And, by a stream, shall he send out his roots, Neither shall he perceive when heat cometh, But, his leaf shall continue green: Even in a year of dearth, shall he not be anxious, Neither shall he cease from bearing fruit. {Rotherham}

Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, that is in the Lord Jesus Christ. That man will be like a tree planet by waters, his leaf shall continue green. Even in a year of dearth, that is a year of scarcity, he shell not be anxious, Neither shall he cease from bearing fruit. That is the person will continue to bear the ideal fruit, even in a year of scarcity.
