  1. I love the Cote St-Luc library (not so much the self-aggrandizing, megalomaniacal gesture of renaming the city library in honor of yourself, while still living).

  2. The Tree of Life has life sustaining properties for the people of the nations who will never know sickness again. It is my opinion that all of the people of the nations will need to eat of the Tree of Life once; and after eating that one time then the essence of the life giving properties will be theirs forever and shall be transferred biologically to all of their new offspring just as sin was transferred to the children of Adam after He sinned. Only this time it is eternal life that is inherited and not eternal death. Therefore the newly born children of the nations will not be required to eat of the Tree of Life to have eternal life, but surly they will be able to, and shall do so freely.
    Notice the following passage that declares Adam and Eve must be removed from having access to eating of the fruit of the Tree of life because if they did they would have eternal life in their sinful state in their fallen biological humanity. This is clearly not what God created mankind for: to live forever as a sinful humanity; but rather God created mankind to live eternally as a righteous and pure humanity.
