On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. ~ Revelation 22:2
The fires in Lahaina, Maui, were like a thief that came quickly and robbed lives, families, businesses, and historical treasures! Many visitors and tourists have been touched by this sweet place in Hawaiian paradise. This loss is a reminder that this present age is temporary. God promises a place in His true paradise to those who trust and have faith in His Son. The gift is offered to all!
Beautiful memories of the Lahaina banyan tree bring thoughts of the TREE OF LIFE described in Revelation 22:2. Hope-filled visions of the future paradise!
The thief [fire] comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it in all its fullness. ~ John 10:10
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where [fire] moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. ~ Matthew 6:20
A new heaven and a new earth are coming! ~ Revelation 21
And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely. ~ Revelation 22:17
Photos from our 2013 visit to Lahaina. Wonderful memories! The day we were at the banyan tree there was a wedding party taking photos.
Revelation 16:15 ~ “Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who remains awake and clothed …”
Maranatha!
