The document discusses the symbolism of pomegranates in relation to Jesus' sacrifice and the law. It states that pomegranates represent Jesus as the King-Priest, with their red juice symbolizing His blood and their white seeds and compartments symbolizing righteousness. The 613 seeds are linked to the 613 commandments in the Old Testament law. While the law condemns, Jesus fulfilled it through His sacrifice, allowing us to live by grace. The document hypothesizes that if the forbidden fruit was a pomegranate, eating it revealed sin and the knowledge of good and evil through breaking God's law.
2. John 6:33 "For the
bread of God is He
which cometh down
from heaven, and
giveth life unto the
world."
Whoever comes to
Him shall not
hunger, and whoever
believes in Him shall
not thirst (John
6:48). Like the
human body, God
the Father designed
the soul of a human
so that it's life
requires a Sacrifice.
Spiritual Life depends
on "eating" the Word
of the living God.
God speaks words of
love and hope to all
who hunger and
thirst for everlasting
life.

3. Joh 17:1- 17 “ These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to
heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that
the son may glorify thee: even as thou gavest him authority over
all flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he should give
eternal life.
And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true
God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ. I glorified
thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast
given me to do. And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own
self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. I
manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of
the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and
they have kept thy word.
Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are
from thee: for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto
them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came
forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me. I pray
for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast
given me; for they are thine: and all things that are mine are
thine, and thine are mine: and I am glorified in them. And I am no
more in the world, and these are in the world, and I come to
thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given
me, that they may be one, even as we are. While I was with them,
I kept them in thy name which thou hast given me: and I guarded
them, and not one of them perished, but the son of perdition;
that the scripture might be fulfilled. But now I come to thee; and
these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy
made full in themselves. I have given them thy word; and the
world hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I
am not of the world. I pray not that thou shouldest take them
from the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil
one. They are not of the world even as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them in the truth: thy word is truth.

4. Mat 26:26-28 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread
and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and
said, Take, eat, this is My body. And He took the cup and
gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink all of it. For
this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins.

5. Pomegranates - The Fruit of Jesus' sacrifice. When cut open it
exudes RED Juice. Its skin is Purplish in color, suggestive of God
Manifestation and royalty. It was prominent on the hem of the
Priest's garments and on the pillars in Solomon's temple, thus
representing the King-Priest of the Kingdom age. It has a white
membrane (righteousness), cut through; it has 12 sections and
pearl white seeds (Isa 53:10) with red fluid.
The 613 seeds found within the pomegranate represent the 613
commandments in 1st five books of the Old Testament, which is
"the law". We know that the 613 commandments are the law.
The law condemns us, but Jesus came to fulfill the law and now
we live under grace by His work on the cross.
So it's interesting to think that if the Tree of Good and Evil was a
pomegranate tree and that they ate a pomegranate (forbidden
fruit) that by eating, sin was revealed. The law reveals "good and
evil", if we didn't have the law, we wouldn't know sin, or that we
were breaking the law. So by partaking in the "fruit of the law"
their eyes were opened and "they knew they were naked." And
by Scripture we know that the knowledge of good and evil
is indeed the law itself.
The Romans, who introduced the tree from Carthage, gave it the
name punicum malum, the Carthaginian apple; and our name
pomegranate is derived from the Latin “grained apple,” . From
the striking appearance of the bright pink pips, packed in
compartments separated by a white membrane, shining like
rubies, and beautifully arranged.

7. Exodus 17: 8-16
A Banner is the pole-like standard beneath which armies or communities rallied. When lifted up, it called the people together for
battle, for meeting, or for instruction. This phrase also could have been a battle cry. Rely upon God who is “The Lord Your Banner.” As
you surrender to Him, your victory, miracle and protection – your battle against flesh will succeed
