God's intention in creating man in His image and according to His likeness is that man would receive Him as life and express Him in His attributes, and God's intention in giving man dominion is to subdue His enemy, recover the earth, and exercise His authority over the earth.
The tree of life as the center of God's eternal economy typifies Christ, the embodiment of the Triune God, to be life and the life supply to the tripartite man as a vessel for the corporate expression of God—this is the central thought of God.
As God's people love God and spend time to fellowship with Him in His word, God infuses them with His divine element, making them one with Him as His spouse, the same as He is in life, nature, and expression.
The seed of the woman is the individual Christ— the One who bruised the serpent through His death on the cross— and also the corporate Christ—the man-child, including Christ as the Head and the overcoming believers as the Body— who will defeat God's enemy and bring in His kingdom so that His eternal purpose might be accomplished.
