Revelation 22:2
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Healing is the process of curing sickness and disease. And when you read the passage in Revelation regarding the healing of the nations what will be the first thing you can guess about this? Do we need to find that place of where the tree of life is located in order to be healed forever?
Before the healing and miracle happened in Israel at around 30 to 65 A.D. it was already prophesied by many prophets in 700 B.C. that the Messiah would come and heal their sicknesses and diseases.
It means the Jews faith is waiting for 730 plus years to witness the fulfillment of this prophecy. Obviously, it happened when Jesus began ministering the gospel in Galilee Israel. The prophecy of Jeremiah that says; "I will restore health unto thee, I will heal thee", exactly was fulfilled by Christ in that day.
Thereafter, the other prophecy concerning the healing the other nations(Gentiles) was also fulfilled by his disciples which prophesied in the book of John;
The tree of life represents Jesus Christ and the twelve manner of fruits are his twelve Apostles with the gifted men like pastors, evangelists, and teachers as the leaves for healing.
They have all the powers given by God to do their mission which includes the healing of the nations.
As Jesus commanded them;
This type of healing is a supernatural healing. They healed people without any stuff to use or any herbal support. Purely, it is done only through faith in the name of Jesus unlike the sorcerers and traditional healers called Albolaryo (herbolario or herbalist). Not to mention the tricks, a human magical power of healing can be proved. Psychic says that our body has the ability to perform healing in itself even to others so it is possible that some sickness can be whole through minds and hands. But not powerful as these disciples who can heal the whole body of flesh even bones. When the Apostle Peter healed the lame man in the temple, people were so amazed because that man is disabled since birth yet was whole within a second.
Take note, the lame man was healed not after many hours or days but immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength when Peter pronounced the name of Jesus. And more than that, they have power also in raising up the dead. It's impossible to believe but the Bible says; nothing is impossible in God, and so Paul did as written;
Now, what manner of man can perform this type of healing today? Do you believe there are still remain that God gave them powers to heal? The truth is; the healing that mentioned in the Bible is intended only for them in first century to fulfill the prophecies. It was done to reveal the promise of God of healing the nation Israel (I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee), and the healing of the other nations (for the healing of the nations). And after that, it was transitionally vanish away. What I mean is their powers of healing were totally stopped when their commission was completed. It happened in the situation of the Apostle Paul when he prayed for his pain and sickness but God's response is to believe that everything is fine now and they are now spiritually comforted. In other words, they can no longer heal sickness but they can manage through the knowledge of His grace
Because of this changes, Paul had advised Timothy who has a stomach problem to use a little wine for cure.
And to his other disciple Trophimus he just left him sick at Miletum because of this reason. I believe Trophimus was left by Paul in order to be comforted naturally there with their brothers for he can do nothing for him.
Thus today the type of healing we have experience is a natural process of healing Psychologically and Scientifically.
Psychologist says;
Psychic healing is part of a person’s psychic ability to use his or her own power to heal others on a personal level, or just to heal others in general. Everybody is born with psychic ability but most of us don’t use it. We are born into the Western way of thinking, and psychic ability is not on the school curriculum. In many ways this just shows how backward we can be as a race, not to mention ignorance which is everywhere in the society we live in.
But for assurance and immediate cure, medicine is necessary. And if possible it's better to maintain proper care of our body by taking vitamins and good supplements whichever is needed. So don't be ignorant of healing, you know already of how and when God did heal His people. Like Paul we need to be wise and do what is right for our sickness and diseases. Beware of tricks and fake healers.

Revelation 22:2
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Healing is the process of curing sickness and disease. And when you read the passage in Revelation regarding the healing of the nations what will be the first thing you can guess about this? Do we need to find that place of where the tree of life is located in order to be healed forever?
Before the healing and miracle happened in Israel at around 30 to 65 A.D. it was already prophesied by many prophets in 700 B.C. that the Messiah would come and heal their sicknesses and diseases.
- Jeremiah 30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.
It means the Jews faith is waiting for 730 plus years to witness the fulfillment of this prophecy. Obviously, it happened when Jesus began ministering the gospel in Galilee Israel. The prophecy of Jeremiah that says; "I will restore health unto thee, I will heal thee", exactly was fulfilled by Christ in that day.
- Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Thereafter, the other prophecy concerning the healing the other nations(Gentiles) was also fulfilled by his disciples which prophesied in the book of John;
- Revelation 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
The tree of life represents Jesus Christ and the twelve manner of fruits are his twelve Apostles with the gifted men like pastors, evangelists, and teachers as the leaves for healing.
- Eph 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
- Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
They have all the powers given by God to do their mission which includes the healing of the nations.
As Jesus commanded them;
- Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
This type of healing is a supernatural healing. They healed people without any stuff to use or any herbal support. Purely, it is done only through faith in the name of Jesus unlike the sorcerers and traditional healers called Albolaryo (herbolario or herbalist). Not to mention the tricks, a human magical power of healing can be proved. Psychic says that our body has the ability to perform healing in itself even to others so it is possible that some sickness can be whole through minds and hands. But not powerful as these disciples who can heal the whole body of flesh even bones. When the Apostle Peter healed the lame man in the temple, people were so amazed because that man is disabled since birth yet was whole within a second.
- Act 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. 7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
Take note, the lame man was healed not after many hours or days but immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength when Peter pronounced the name of Jesus. And more than that, they have power also in raising up the dead. It's impossible to believe but the Bible says; nothing is impossible in God, and so Paul did as written;
- Act 20:9 And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead. 10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him. 11 When he therefore was come up again, and had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, even till break of day, so he departed. 12 And they brought the young man alive, and were not a little comforted.
Now, what manner of man can perform this type of healing today? Do you believe there are still remain that God gave them powers to heal? The truth is; the healing that mentioned in the Bible is intended only for them in first century to fulfill the prophecies. It was done to reveal the promise of God of healing the nation Israel (I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee), and the healing of the other nations (for the healing of the nations). And after that, it was transitionally vanish away. What I mean is their powers of healing were totally stopped when their commission was completed. It happened in the situation of the Apostle Paul when he prayed for his pain and sickness but God's response is to believe that everything is fine now and they are now spiritually comforted. In other words, they can no longer heal sickness but they can manage through the knowledge of His grace
- 2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Because of this changes, Paul had advised Timothy who has a stomach problem to use a little wine for cure.
- 1 Timothy 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
And to his other disciple Trophimus he just left him sick at Miletum because of this reason. I believe Trophimus was left by Paul in order to be comforted naturally there with their brothers for he can do nothing for him.
- 2 Timothy 4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.
Thus today the type of healing we have experience is a natural process of healing Psychologically and Scientifically.
