Great tree [∞] Discussion The parable progresses from the seed, which represents Jesus in the event of his birth , to the herb, which also represents Jesus in the event of his life and then to the tree , which we can safely say also represents Jesus, and the event of the cross. The Hebrew word for 'tree' is ets עץ also means 'the flesh ע of the judge (the righteous man) died ץ. Jesus has pointed backwards now to Ge 1:11, 12 He references the seed, the herb and the tree and is giving a commentary on it. It would be fulfilled by him. Please notice that this is a reference to the cross on day 3 of creation, and man was not created until day 6. It displays God's love that he had a plan to reveal himself to us through Christ and the cross before he made man. If we use Greek methods of interpretation, we must read Ge 1:11,12 literally. They determine that God literally made grass and herbs with seed and trees with fruit which had seed. However, the purpose of scripture is not to give us a history, though it does. It's purpose is to reveal the invisible Father through the Son . If we miss the son in it, we have missed the point.
