Parable Having to do with
Two Angelic Spirits
Who Lived in God’s
Eternal Tree of Life
Part II

“Blessed (enviably happy, fortunate and spiritually prosperous with the joy of eternal life and satisfaction that comes from God’s favor) are the pure in heart…for they shall see God (Ps 24: 3,4) and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be completely satisfied. (Isaiah 55: 1,2)"

Jesus Christ

As mentioned previously, a long time ago there were two angelic spirits who lived a happy life in God’s tree of eternal life, but were frightened by an eagle flying above them.. They thought about flying to the tree next to their’s, God’s tree of his knowledge of good and evil. But, just before this, they heard a rustle in the branches and saw a few leaves floating to the ground from that direction. From their vantage point above the ground they could see that there was a tiger hiding in the tree’s branches who had used the back of an elephant to climb there. Worse still, around the same time, when they looked at the other direction on the ground there was a hunter with a gun who had spotted them and was looking to fire his weapon at them. So, the female said to her mate, “I am frightened, what shall we do.” And, her mate said, “Do nothing, trust in God as we have been told to.” So they froze in fear, while waiting there. And, just as the hunter was aiming to fire his gun, a snake bite him on the foot disturbed his aim, made him miss and hit the eagle. And, on a branch next to the tiger there was a monkey. The monkey was rattled by the sound of the hunter’s shot and shook the tree’s branch. This was enough for the tiger who was hiding there to fall out, hurt himself and run away. So they (the two angelic spirits) were safe, but, shortly after that harrowing experience the female lost her patience and her trust in God’s word. Then wind of the out breath of God (Wisdom and Understanding) caught her up and she flew away. And, God stirred the depths and the heights of the ocean’s waters and brought a great flood on humankind. Both their spirits and souls went away together. For the wind of the out breath of God had taken away their hopes and dreams. This was because; they needed each other for happiness.
