[1 Enoch 24:8] — He answered me, saying, That mountain which thou beholdest, the extent of whose head resembles the seat of the Lord, will be the seat on which shall sit the holy and great Lord of glory, the everlasting King, when He shall come and descend to visit the earth with goodness.

Michael responded, stating that the mountain Enoch was seeing, with its large summit resembling the Lord's throne, will be where the holy and powerful Lord of glory, the eternal King, will sit when He comes to Earth with goodness.

This implies that the Mountain of Fire, the Seven Mountains, the fragrant Trees of Eden, and the Tree of Life, the Paradise, are all part of the Earth to come. We may not see these on the present earth, but there is another Earth that is one with heaven: so being there means one is both in heaven and on earth at the same time. This is when the Tabernacle of God and the dwelling of holy/righteous men are together and with each other.

What looks like the garden of Eden that Adam once knew, and greater than it, shall be restored again with the new earth. And the Throne of God, which Enoch beheld as the Magnificent Mountain of Precious Stones, will be sat upon by the Lord then.

Until then, know this: — There are thrones meant for the Lord and for kings and priests with Him that they have not yet sat on, although they are already worthy to do so. They are there in heaven, and have already been given the authority to sit on those thrones, but they have to wait for some time and seasons because their sitting on those thrones would mark the beginning of a new era or new things on earth. These three Bible references highlight when the sitting will commence, and that begins a new earthly calendar or timeline on earth.

[Daniel 7:9] — "I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His Head like the pure wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and His wheels as burning fire."

[Matthew 19:28] — "And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, That you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of His glory, you also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."

[Zechariah 6:13] — "Even He shall build the temple of the LORD; and He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on His throne; and He shall be a Priest on His throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both."

[Revelation 20:4] — "And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark on their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."

Well, you can understand the revelations and prophecies better when you notice that thrones are usually seen before those who sit on them are seen. This indicates that the sitters on the thrones of the Kingdom were not always sitting on those thrones from the beginning. There were periods when no one sat on those thrones yet, including the Throne of God the Father or Ancient of Days in "Revelation 4:2-3" or "Daniel 7:9." It was revealed that the Throne was set or prepared in heaven in "Revelation 4:2" before He sat on it, and He was therefore referred to as "He who sat on the Throne."

It's like the "Mercy seat" in the old Tabernacle architecture by Moses. Though there was a Mercy seat and Cherubim were guardians for that seat, yet no one was sitting on the seat. Generally, empty or unoccupied thrones and important seats in the Kingdom of God mean that there are things yet to be withheld or delayed from happening or accomplishing, and some eras have not yet begun.


[1 Enoch 24:9] — And that tree of an agreeable smell, not one of carnal odour, there shall be no power to touch, until the period of the great judgment. When all shall be punished and consumed for ever, this shall be bestowed on the righteous and humble. The fruit of this tree shall be given to the elect. For towards the north life shall be planted in the holy place, towards the habitation of the everlasting King.

According to Michael the Prince or Archangel, the fragrant tree, unlike any earthly scent, will remain untouched until the time of the great judgment when all will be punished and destroyed. However, it will be bestowed upon the righteous and humble. The chosen ones will receive the fruit of this tree. Life will be planted in the sacred place to the north, where the everlasting King resides.

Accessing the Tree of Life will not be available to any person as long as there are still sinners or unrighteous individuals, or as long as there is a pending eternal and final judgment. The Tree of Life will only be touchable and available to humankind after the final judgment and destruction have taken place. This is referred to as the second death, which will consume both the first death and the first heaven/earth altogether. This means that hastening the final judgment and destruction may allow the Tree of Life to be available to humanity, but it will not favor the salvation of God to humankind. Salvation is more favored when God's long-suffering, forbearance, and patience suspend the final judgment and destruction.

However, let's observe the availability of the Tree of Life to humankind in the Bible. When Adam sinned, the Tree of Life became untouchable and unavailable to humans while there were sinners on the earth where the Tree of Life was planted. The Tree of Life should not even be planted in the same earth or planet where sinners or unrighteous individuals dwell. So, in the mentioned verse in Enoch, Michael stated that the Tree of Life will be planted in the sides of the North, where the Eternal King and the City of the Great King (Mount Zion) will be situated. This will not be in the present earth but in the new earth and new heaven. Thus, through the Bible, we see that the Tree of Life is once again made available and accessible to humankind and their nations, but only in the new earth and new heaven, where righteousness and the meek dwell.

Let's not forget what Michael said about the perfume or scent from the Tree of Life, which intrigued Enoch. He mentioned that the aroma or scent of the Tree of Life was neither of a carnal (earthly) odor nor like any earthly scent any person had perceived on earth.


[1 Enoch 24:10] — Then shall they greatly rejoice and exult in the Holy One. The sweet odour shall enter into their bones; and they shall live a long life on the earth, as thy forefathers have lived; neither in their days shall sorrow, distress, trouble, and punishment afflict them.

Those who overcome and are blessed to have access to the Tree in the midst of the Paradise of God and entering through the gate of the City, they shall be inhaling the scent or aroma from the tree of life, which will replace oxygen for the breath of life.

Come to think of it: Scientifically, plants are sources for the oxygen we breathe right? They breathe out oxygen for humans and animals to breathe in the oxygen. What if there's a special Plant, a Tree of Life, which does not just breathe out mere oxygen but much more powerful elixir of life and love with aroma or scent for the living creatures and living spirits to breathe in?

According to Micheal in the Enoch Verse above, "In that time, the righteous ones will experience great joy and elation in the presence of the Holy One. The sweet fragrance of the tree will permeate their very being, bringing them comfort and vitality. They shall enjoy a long and prosperous life on earth, just as their ancestors did. Sorrow, distress, trouble, and punishment shall not come upon them during their days."


[1 Enoch 24:11] — And I blessed the Lord of glory, the everlasting King, because He has prepared this tree for the saints, formed it, and declared that He would give it to them.

Have you read? Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him." [1 Corinthians 2:9]

But I tell you, one of the things God has prepared for them that love Him is the "Tree of Life," which is also the "Tree of Love."

Now, though eye has not seen, ear has now heard it because let him that has ear hear things which God has prepared for and gave to us who love Him, through His Holy Spirit.

But there's danger in knowing or tasting of such things God prepared for those who love Him and then later falling back to sin and to crucifying Him again.

[Hebrews 6:4‭-‬6 AMP] — For [it is impossible to restore to repentance] those who have once been enlightened [spiritually] and who have tasted and consciously experienced the heavenly gift and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted and consciously experienced the good word of God and the powers of the age (world) to come, and then have fallen away—it is impossible to bring them back again to repentance, since they again nail the Son of God on the cross [for as far as they are concerned, they are treating the death of Christ as if they were not saved by it], and are holding Him up again to public disgrace.
