V15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
V16. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
V17. Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
V18. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
V19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
V20. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Bring forth fruits meet (of value) for repentance?
Mat 3: v4. And the same John had his raiment of camel’s hair, and a leathern girdle about his loins; and his meat was locusts and wild honey.
V5. Then went out to him Jerusalem, and all Judaea, and all the region round about Jordan,
V6. And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
V7. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
V8. Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
V9. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to [our] father: for I say unto you, that Yahweh is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
V10. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Luk 3: v10. And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then?
V11. He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise.
V12. Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
V13. And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
V14. And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse [any] falsely; and be content with your wages.
V15. And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were Yahweh incarnate or not;
V16. John answered, saying unto [them] all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire:
Be filled with the fruits of righteousness?
Php 1: v1. Paul and Timotheus, the servants of YahwehShua Messiah , to all the saints in YahwehShua Messiah which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
V2. Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from Yahweh our Father, and [from] the Son YahwehShua Messiah.
V3. I thank my Father Yahweh on every remembrance of you,
V4. Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy,
V5. For your fellowship in the evangel from the first day until now;
V6. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform [it] until the day of YahwehShua Messiah (7th Trump).
V7. Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the evangel, ye all are partakers of my grace.
V8. For Father Yahweh is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of YahwehShua Messiah. And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and [in] all judgment;
V10. That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of YahwehShua Messiah .
V11. Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by YahwehShua Messiah unto the glory and praise of Father Yahweh.
What is the fruit? Where’s it from?
Gal 5: v19. Now the works of the flesh (Satan) are manifest, which are [these;] Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
V20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
V21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of YahwehShua.
V22. But the fruit of the (Holy) Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
V23. Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
V24. And they that are YahwehShua Messiah’s have impaled the flesh with the affections and lusts.
V25. If we live in the (Holy) Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
So the Holy Spirit from Father Yahweh to the Son YahwehShua Messiah to YOU has fruits! The Tree of Life (Spiritual and Physical) has good fruits! What are these trees?
Gen 2: v9. And out of the ground made Yahweh to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Gen 3: v17. And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;
Gen 3: v22. And Yahweh said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
V24. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Rev 2: v7. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Assemblies; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of Father Yahweh and YahwehShua Messiah.
Rev 22: v1. And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of Father Yahweh and of the Lamb (Son).
V2. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, [was there] the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner of] fruits, [and] yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree [were] for the healing of the nations.
V3. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of Father Yahweh and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
V4. And they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] in their foreheads.
Rev 22: v14. Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
The tree of life is the only 2 eternals Father Yahweh and his Son YahwehShua Messiah (lamb). The only way to meet them both is to be 1 of the 144,000 Saints at the 7th Trump or 1 of the latter day Saints or the Innumerable Multitude after the Millennial Sabbath. What about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? None other than Lucifer who was created by the Son to be the head angel (knew good), then rebelled (all planned) and deceived 1/3 of the angels (deceives all humans) to follow him as Satan.
Isa 14: v12. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations
v13. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Yahweh: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
v14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
v15. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
v16. They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, [and] consider thee, [saying, Is] this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
v17. [That] made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; [that] opened not the house of his prisoners
v18. All the kings of the nations, [even] all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.
v19. But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, [and as] the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
v20. Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, [and] slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.
v21. Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Ezk 28: v13. Thou hast been in Eden, the garden of Yahweh; every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created
V14. Thou [art] the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee [so:] thou wast upon the holy mountain of Yahweh; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
V15. Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
V16. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of Yahweh: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub*, from the midst of the stones of fire.
V17. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.
V18. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee**, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
V19. All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt] thou [be] any more
*Lucifer likely replaced by Michael and Gabriel, two covering angels on the ark of the Covenant.
**Lake of fire may be our Creator taking the hedge down on Satan and the fallen angels and they destroy each other and those not in the book of life.
So if the fruits of the tree of life or Holy Spirit is peace, love, joy, goodness, gentleness, kindness, meekness or humility, longsuffering or patience, temperance or self control, and faith. Fruits of the evil spirit is NO peace, NO love, NO joy, NO goodness, NO gentleness, NO kindness, NO humility or PROUD, NO patience, NO self control, NO faith and many other ways of the world. Be a light in the world come out of the ways of the world!
On with the good fruits.
Pro 3: v11. My son, despise not the chastening of Yahweh; neither be weary of his correction:
V12. For whom Yahweh loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son [in whom] he delighteth.
V13. Happy [is] the man [that] findeth wisdom, and the man [that] getteth understanding
V14. For the merchandise of it [is] better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.
V15. She [is] more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.
V16. Length of days [is] in her right hand; [and] in her left hand riches and honour.
V17. Her ways [are] ways of pleasantness, and all her paths [are] peace.
V18. She [is] a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy [is every one] that retaineth her.
Pro 11: v30. The fruit of the righteous [is] a tree of life; and he that winneth souls [is] wise.
Pro 15: v3. The eyes of Yahweh [are] in every place, beholding the evil and the good.
V4. A wholesome tongue [is] a tree of life: but perverseness therein [is] a breach in the spirit.
Luk 12: v15. And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
V16. And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
V17. And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Luk 12: v18. And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
V19. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.
V20. But Yahweh said unto him, [Thou] fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
V21. So [is] he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward Yahweh.
Inspect your fruit. Is it rotten? You’ve got the wrong tree!
Do you have (good) fruit?
HalleluYahwehshua!
