Jesus in the key text refers himself to a green tree. We know it is true since he has the dew of youth. The Spirit has laid how we should explain the greenness of the tree on the basis of what the word of God refers to the subject and must conform to the dictum that all things consist of Jesus Christ. Similitude is on the principle ' the like begets like'. In the context of the fruit tree "whose seed was in itself, after his kind" what do we mean by 'after his kind' ? Comparison is in terms of similar quality. Consider this Psalm quote, "In the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth"(Ps.110:3). the greenness of the tree refers to his beauty of holiness and not about physical beauty. This is how hermeneutics according to the wisdom of heaven works. Instead Bible Scholars give a different slant. Jesus Christ is the key and not literal meaning from passage that follow or that went before. Carnal wisdom of the Pharisees accused Jesus, "But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils."(Matt.12:24) This is same as Baptist church in the US would splinter into North and south. One would want to whitewash slavery. What is carnal wisdom? James says, "but is earthly, sensual, devilish./ For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work." Using Noah's curse on Canaan to justify slavery is to say the least is devilish. (Jas.3:15-16)
