Trees

Let me ask you a question.  What is the oldest living organism on the earth?

A tree would be the correct answer---specifically the Methuselah tree in California that is said to be 4,843 year old.  Apparently, trees don’t die of old age like humans, that is, they would live an extremely long time if not subject to disease, drought or fire.  This gives some meaning to Isaiah’s saying, “… as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands” (65:22).
