Q&A: What does the Bible say about the Holy City's water & food supplies?

what does the bible say about the city's water supply and its food supply well it says he showed me a pure river of water of life you know when you read about the garden of eden it says that from the garden of eden there were four rivers that flowed and there was the the tigris and the euphrates and uh i can't remember the name of the other two but uh what is it to hit a kill and they float out of the garden and they irrigated the whole earth you know we sing that song that flows from the throne of god shall we gather at the river tells us that from the throne of god this water flows and it basically waters the whole earth and it's like it says in the last chapters of ezekiel everywhere the water goes everything lives and the whole planet is going to be bustling with life like a garden and it's not any water it's crystal clear water you know most of the water most of the river water in the world you can't drink it'll make you sick if you ever go kayaking down the river we used to do that if you're going to camp you don't want to just drink the river water you've got to find a creek that runs into the river where you can get the crystal clear water but you can drink this river water and on either side of the river now notice this on either side of the river was the tree not trees a tree either side of the river only way you can explain that is this is a massive tree that the branches grow together at the top making it one tree roots probably grow together under the river and the river flows through it now when i say river you know they tell us that we're the amazon flows into the atlantic ocean that it pushes fresh water 100 miles out into the sea and um there are places where the river is you know 20 miles across and i've seen the mississippi and the missouri and there's some big rivers think big when you think about the river that's going to water the earth and so picture a river that could be 30 miles across and one tree that is so massive it grows on both sides now we live here in california where we've got the redwoods and i remember the first time i went up and i took a look at the redwoods and you stand at the base of these trees that are so big that you could you know drive a wagon with horses through them and you think well this is nothing compared to what god is going to have in the kingdom so you got the water supply and you've got a food supply it says the tree grows and it has 12 different kinds of fruit and it says it bears its fruit 12 different times a year now you all know what that is in my studio audience how many of you have tasted durian about 40 percent you know it's it's a very controversial fruit you're not allowed to take durian on an airplane you really aren't you can you can wrap it up maybe put it in your luggage but you can't take it in the cabin because it has such an overwhelming smell smells a little bit like dirty socks i don't know what else to tell you but it's like you know bananas don't smell so good on the outside like if they're in your garbage can but eating bananas is okay well durian has a very unique flavor and those who tasted either love it or hate it the people who live in the places where it grows say that it it smells like hades that's not the word they use but it tastes like heaven and i've had durian and it is a very good fruit it's delicious but the tree of life and you know it's fun when you travel around the world i see so many strange exotic fruits i can't wait to eat from that tree of life it has some essence some enzyme that keeps our cells from dying that will forever be renewed by it adam and eve ate from that fruit they eat that fruit from the tree and they live 900 years but as their posterity got further and further away from that life spans actually shortened and it yields her fruit every month and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nation so it's got 12 different kinds of fruit 12 times a year i used to work for baskin robbins ice cream we always had at least 31 flavors this one's got 144 flavors and i figure every month people are going to be coming to find out what the new flavor is of the fruit you'll never ever get tired of eating it and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations people read that verse and they say who needs healing in heaven why would people get sick in heaven is there a disease and you know i think it's telling us that as we gather around that tree to eat all the nations that are divided here in this world we're divided by customs and cultures and races but as we gather as one family under that tree all the divisions are healed it doesn't say healing of sickness says healing of nations so we all become one nation as we gather under that tree i like amazing facts about trees this is the baobab tree that you can find in africa and they call it a tree of life because virtually every part of the tree is edible or drinkable it's a tree that swells up during the raining season and its spongy bark absorbs a lot of water that they often have holes that are dug in the side where different animals go in and drink the water can save a person in drought the small leaves can be eaten like spinach the fruit is very nutritious the seeds are edible the bark can be used to make clothing and so the locals call it a tree of life because every part of it can be used well the tree of life that god's made is going to help us live forever how will living in heaven be different from living here on earth
