Revelation 22:13-14 I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. 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.
Christ is the Tree of Life and Satan is the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Satan is also death as in the spiritual death through him and the death that Christ came to destroy Hebrews 2:14. "Tree" in Hebrew is either actual timber or the spine of backbone as in the trunk of the body depending on which Hebrew word is used. In these instances it is the Hebrew word atseh meaning the trunk of the body (specifically, the spine, giving firmness to the body, the backbone).
Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground made the Lord God 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.
The Bible uses symbolism all throughout and taking the words back to the original Hebrew/Greek meaning helps decipher as does knowing figures of speech (e.g., today if you state that you want to "paint the town red" you do not literally mean you want to obtain a bucket of paint and paint the town but rather you want to go out and have a great time) as does paying attention to the subject and object at hand. The "trees" in Genesis 2:9 refers to "men" as "trees" (their spine is the trunk and their limbs are the branches; their fruit is what comes from them ... what is produced from them ... good works or bad works....just as today you can be producing good fruit for the Lord or bad fruit for Satan). The symbolism in Isaiah 14 speaking of the king of Babylon and the fir trees rejoicing and him being cast into the "grave like an abominable branch" are some other of many, many such examples.
Ezekiel 31:3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon, with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
Satan was and is that very box cedar; that cheap imitation of Christ.
Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."
Satan had full knowledge of the 1st earth age and the most to gain by destroying God's plan for this 2nd earth age. Partaking in Satan's "fruit" and gaining knowledge from him was surely poison to anyone past or present. Satan poisons anyone's thoughts away from God who allow him to do so.
