"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the Tree of Life and may go through the gates into the city." (Revelation of John 22, 13-14)

The first description of the Tree of Life in the Bible is done along with the description of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil: "The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the Tree of Life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil" (Genesis 2, 9). The enjoyment of the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was –as we know– forbidden Adam and Eve: "And the Lord God commanded the man, ’ You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die ’ (Genesis 2, 16-17). And when Adam and Eve disobeyed this commandment, they gained knowledge of good and evil: And the Lord God said, ’The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the Tree of Life and eat, and live forever ’ (Genesis 3, 21). The Tree of Life should therefore be withheld from man, as before, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil: After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden Cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the Tree of Life" (Genesis 3, 24).

Christ is risen from the dead. In death he defeated death and gave the death their life. (Medieval church song)

The way to the Tree of Life, however, can be done with a donkey, without being slain by the Cherubim. The 4th book of Moses (Numbers 22, 21-35) tells about a speaking donkey, who recognizes an invisible angel with a sword –presumably this Cherubim– in his way, evades him, and thus saves the life of his rider, Balaam: " Balaam got up in the morning, saddled his donkey and went with the Moabite officials. But God was very angry when he went, and the angel of the Lord stood in the road to oppose him. Balaam was riding on his donkey, and his two servants were with him. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with a drawn sword in his hand, it turned off the road into a field. Balaam beat it to get it back on the road. Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path through the vineyards, with walls on both sides. When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it pressed close to the
