Brother Rushmore, Did Adam and Eve eat of the tree of life? If they did what would have happen if they would have stopped? ~ Al Lawson
What happened if someone tried to enter the Garden of Eden? ~ Austin Chambers
The Tree of Life was in the middle of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:9). Were Adam and Eve or anyone else to have continual access to the Tree of Life, he would never die (Genesis 3:22). Therefore, after Adam and Eve sinned, God made them leave the Garden of Eden, and to keep them or anyone else from returning to the Garden of Eden and eating from the Tree of Life, God placed angels called Cherubims with flaming swords at the entrance of the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24). The implication is that the Cherubims at least prevented anyone from entering the Garden and accessing the Tree of Life, and they may have been prepared to kill anyone attempting to enter the Garden. Presumably not literally, but figuratively, the Tree of Life has been transplanted in heaven, where according to the figure or symbolism, the saved will live with God forever (Revelation 2:7; 22:2, 14).
Presumably, Adam and Eve for a time ate from the Tree of Life. After they sinned and were driven by God from the Garden, mankind has never eaten from the tree again, and experiences death.
