Meet for Repentance
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Matthew 7:17-18

I mean, it just doesn't happen that way. If it did, you'd need a few acts of God in the midst just to get this thing started and then it might need some sustaining of course and also something for growth and the feeding then later. Finally, it'll need just the Lord to bring out a pruning for it then in the end. Certainly you can't have something bad coming forth from the good things that God is currently doing. Likewise you can't have a good work coming from out of a dung heap there in the midst. It's probably better just to be rid of the whole thing altogether. That's where God's got to have some supernatural helpers or at least that's what you'd think if you were in the habit like John of sending a delegation just when yourself should've done for the Lord. Though the Lord certainly isn't slack concerning his promises nor when he's sending out workers. Whether it's harvest time yet all depends on the command of the Lord. At some point though, you'll just have to trust yourself there to him in particular. I mean, when he's pruning the trees and sending forth all things as unto his Son. It's about time to check back in on the case that we're bringing with Moses and all the people there in the land. There'll be a couple different things to see at this point really, which is why we'll be taking our time once again so we're not missing out on all that's in store for us down here then once more.
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God doth give us.
26 Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
27 And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Deuteronomy 1:25-27
Alright, now that's at the start of the book just before the law was once read. That's Moses telling all that these had encountered so far. Though he's recapping about their journey isn't he, especially about the part where the people had refused to enter the land. That part led then to a wandering in the desert and waste places of sin forty years it would seem. Nor is the story yet over with then.
12 And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight.
13 Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.
14 And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.
15 And he said unto him, If thy presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.
16 For wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the earth.
17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name.
Exodus 33:12-17
Can you tell if there's something promised for or something yet to consider? What's the good fruits that the Lord would've been referring to? Did these all spring from one particular tree? Perhaps it's too early to tell but the phrase 'fruit of the poison tree' refers most definitely to something that came forth from evil intentions or an awfully bad heart of the matter or then again somewhat of the issue at hand. Basically that's to say that a bad starting location seldom results in good fruit from the rest of the person. The issue with Moses and the people was the unbelief of the Lord. Back of all that it stemmed from another sort of an issue at hand. Can you figure out what that would be? Then there's the second part of the matter which started out with all the intents of the heart. Can you figure out the fruit and also the bearing or the whole root cause of an issue.
