> So, the book of Revelation is a symbolic description of how I begin my journey, locked out of the Garden, unable to get to the Tree of Life, now burdened with knowing good and evil (& therefore trusting in my own fallible wisdom, which leads to destruction), and that there will be trials and testings in my life, designed to bring me to the end of my bondage to idolotry, designed to show me how to become an Overcomer, to enter the Kingdom which is at hand, and to be led back to the Tree of Life -- that this is a journey, frought with tribulation, which I will be shown how (& enabled) to overcome.

You wrote,[...led back to The Tree of Life...]
When Adam and Eve were banished from the Garden, they could not go back to eat of the Tree of Life for it was guarded by cherubin. The children of Israel that were delivered from bondage were given manna from heaven to eat. They ate of that bread and died. That bread was picked up each day. If that bread was left to the next day, it corrupted with worms and would stink.
As we can read in the book called the revelation, in chapter 2 verse 17;
[...To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna...]
This symbol could be well known to the Jews that were versed in their scriptures. The symbol could be from the book called Jeremiah the 15th chapter, the 16th verse which reads;[...Your words were found and I did eat them and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart...] The children of Israel ate the manna from heaven and died. That manna was physical manna. It is my conviction that the hidden manna, is a spiritual manna that is The Word of God. When one eats of the hidden manna, a Jew could see this symbol as bringing in to their being spiritual life. For the bible defines the carnal (physical) mind as death, and the spiritual mind as life and peace which gives joy.
It has been revealed to me that the overcommers will eat of the hidden manna. This manna will give revelation that is hidden about the uncorruptable life. The overcommers can be transformed in their minds from the carnal mind to the spiritual mind by the Bread of Life, the hidden manna, the Word of God, our Daily Bread, the bread that came down from heaven that gives life to the world.
