Tree-of-heaven, also known as ailanthus, Chinese sumac, and stinking shumac, is a deciduous tree native to China and widely naturalized elsewhere. Introduced to the United States nearly 200 years ago, this species is a common invader in many forests across the nation. It is a prolific seed producer, aggressively competing with nearby plants, and has toxic properties that prevent other plants from growing.
Tree-of-heaven was introduced from China as a garden plant in Philadelphia in 1784. By the mid-1800s, it was well-established as a nursery tree due to its ability to grow nearly anywhere. It is not shade tolerant and is particularly invasive in urban landscapes, right of ways, roadsides, and woodland edges. It establishes quickly, colonizing primarily disturbed and neglected areas.
The tree-of-heaven can grow up to 25 meters tall and has pale green/white flowers that appear in spring. It is widely distributed in California but somewhat discontinuously distributed in California. It is native to parts of China and Taiwan.
Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle is a species belonging to the Simaroubaceae family, in the order Sapindales. The genus is native to east Asia and is known for its woody perennial tree or shrub. Mature trees can reach 80 meters, and the tree-of-heaven is a widespread invasive species across North America.
In summary, Tree-of-heaven is a rapidly growing deciduous tree native to China and has become a widespread invasive species across North America. It is a prolific seed producer, aggressive competitor, and has toxic properties that prevent other plants from growing.

Jesus I PRAISE you! Lord give me strength I’m struggling providing for my children. I’m so discouraged but I will keep faith because faith is all I have left! I suffer from lupus, and heart disease. I have two beautiful boys both are special needs. I’m overwhelmed because they require so much from me. Every month is a struggle to not end up on the streets. Lord help me provide for my children. Give me strength while I struggle to buy groceries and while, I struggle pay rent. Father grant me strength. 💝 💕❤️
Thank you so very much for this!!! You know, I really trembled, and tears began to come down out of my eyes, and down my face when I read this, so this really gave me the strength that I really needed!!! So may the ALMIGHTY LORD THY GOD PROTECT AND GREATLY BLESS YOU, AND YOUR’S WHERE EVER YOU ARE, IN ALL OF YOUR WAYS!!! AGAIN,!,!,!…GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!!!!
I’m in my early 40s and went through a really tough time a few years ago. After a difficult divorce, my finances took a big hit, and I was struggling hard. Started using at some point and even nearly lost faith. In 2022, things changed for the better when my grandmother left me a significant inheritance, which helped turn my finances around. But now, in 2024, my financial situation is going downhill again. Sometimes I worry that I’m wasting money, and it keeps me up at night. I really don’t want to end up in the same bad place I was before. I’ve been praying a lot lately, asking God to help me avoid going back to that difficult situation.
In 2017 my cat which was everything to me died of cancer. Before she passed, i would talk to her about Jesus Christ, i.e. Jesus made your water n food, etc…and she was one that never really meowed, but she would let out a soft meow sound after i started mentioning his name!! As if she knew him!! When she passed, later, i had a beautiful dream!! I was given a “glimpse into Heaven” i saw Jesus Christ sitting on his throne, surrounded with the most beautiful soft golden light, and tall pillars that looked “gold.” In color. AND, i saw my cat, frolicking around ON HIS CHAIR. HE SAT, AND SHE WAS ON THE TALLER SIDE OF THE ENORMOUS CHAIR!… Mind you, i couldnt communicate, but was only given the glimpse…it was as if she was now in 7th heaven enjoying his presence..n wanting to get his attention on the chair!!! I believe The Lord God favoured her here on earth as she replied to his name a lot..but he also loves all his creations. After all he created them. (No negative comments, or i will block you/ ignore you)
WOW! Well done Christopher Glyn. Your work to develop and to use the voice Our Father has given you and the team to add the illustration is a blessing. It is inspiring me, even as the Holy Spirit has brought me to your website today, for me to do my part and use what has been given to me, so we can show the beauty and goodness of God and his Kingdom. Looking forward to meeting you – on earth or in Heaven by the grace and mercy of our Father. Keep broadcasting the truth, my brother. Rhonda from the Caribbean. My prayers are with you and yours.
This is the best visual of the heavens and the beings I have seen. It is so good and I’m truly impressed. Honestly, it brought a smile to my face and peace to my heart. These visuals will linger in my mind. Thanks to the creator and the production team. There are places on earth so beautiful and so mesmerizing even in its fallen state, and this makes me wonder how glorious and beautiful earth was in its perfect state. Now, imagine Heaven, God’s own abode. The glory and the beauty of God and Heaven is far beyond anything we can ever imagine or comprehend, and it makes me all the more excited about Heaven. I can’t wait for the day when our Heavenly Father would call us Home. What a day of rejoicing it will be to see Him face to face and behold His glory!
Lord thank you for just giving me small tastes of heaven 🙏 small images thank you for your mercy and your grace you know me and my family’s situation right now and please give me the strength to overcome this give me the strength to forgive them give me courage to overcome my fears oh lord please help me oh father lead me oh lord and thank you precious heavenly father
I be crying everyday and pray daily for my sins of being with people who I thought we were doing something to fill our damaged soul of feeling loved and cared. But it ended being a one night stand every time and I lost sight of what the lord first guide was for us about penitence is avouched you. Be penitent and the lord will make it happen. The lord is still preparing the one for you. 🙏
I logged in to say WOW WOW WOW, well done. I been searching high and low for a website like this. You really take your time to show us quality. Well done. I love that you have driven home points said openly in the bible, more than most do. I love the vividness of your articles. Try the New Jerusalem as high as it is wide, 1,200 miles. Well done.
KINH LẠY CHA. Lạy Cha chúng con ở trên trời. Chúng con nguyện Danh Cha Cả Sáng. Nước Cha trị đến. Ý Cha thể hiện dưới đất cũng như trên trời. Xin Cha cho chúng con hôm nay lương thực hàng ngày. Và tha nợ chúng con. Như chúng con cũng tha cho kẻ có nợ chúng con. Xin chớ để chúng sa trước cám dỗ. Nhưng cứu chúng con cho khỏi sự dữ. AMEN.❤❤❤❤❤
I think that is a beautiful story about your cat and anyone who has ever loved an animal would understand exactly how you’re feeling. I believe that God created these creatures for our enjoyment and when they are old and it’s time for them to pass on, he brings them into heaven. I believe that. Do I know that’s true? No but do I believe it’s true yeah ! So anyone that would give you any sort of rebuttal does not know the magic of feeling this sweet intimacy of knowing gentleness of God’s heart,…… I hope by now you got yourself another cat
I’m going threw so many things right now my marriage I prayed and asked God show me his will for my life because every single person I’ve helped crushed me in the end my husband cheating his mother enabling him to do it under her roof the very same person who I feed soup when she was sick 🤧 with Covid I drove her son to her 6hrs to help her now this same lady encouraged my husband to cheat when my husband was down I can’t count how many times I recused him from day one just to be betrayed 😢I lost a lot behind him and he’s never once said I’m sorry for hurting you my faith has gotten weak and I’m scared I will fail gods will I am who I am and I continue to keep praying the more I pray the more I feel god has made it clear that he’s mad with me for bringing disobedience I repent of all my sins please lord forgive me so I can feel your forgiveness and peace show me favor please
I like that he focused in on the vision of Enoch cuz it’s such a holy vision but if you want to hear the best reader of scripture in the world in English go to the Alexander Scourby article he artistically/professionally reads the whole book of Enoch in 3 hours and 6 min…ltsca great experience to just shut in for the night with that article
C.Ravichandran from India :- What an awesome God in the 10 th Heaven had created the Heavens and the earth and systematically ruling the heavenly/earthly beings shows His unparallele powers over the demigods/ fallen angels/ the evil designes of Satan. Scientists find it difficult to pitch a tent in Mars planet and it is highly impossible for them to think about the 10th Heaven !!! Any how the unseen Supreme God in the Heavens above was kind enough to send His beloved son Jesus Christ to save the mankind from the evil plans of satan and his followers. So the just people/ mortals on earth who are following the teachings of Christ Jesus are surviving. Praise the Lord. 👍🙏
DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, I know that I’m a sinner. And I ask for your forgiveness. I believe you’ve died for my sins, and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins. I repent of my sins. I invite you to come into my heart and my life. I want to trust and follow you as my LORD and savior in JESUS NAME. AMEN.
Here’s how to ask for the Holy Spirit and pray daily Receiving the Holy Spirit Prayer Lord Jesus Christ I believe that you’re the son of God And that on the cross you died for my sins And rose again from the dead I trust you for forgiveness And for cleansing I believe you have received me As a child of God And because you have received me I receive myself as a child of God If there’s any resentment in my heart now Any unforgiveness against anyone I lay it down I forgive every other person As I would have God forgive me If I have ever been involved in the occult I acknowledge that as a sin I ask your forgiveness And I loose myself now From every contact With Satan and occult power In the name of Jesus Christ And now Lord Jesus I come to you as my baptiser In the Holy Spirit I present to you my body To be a temple of your spirit I yield to you my tongue To be an instrument of righteousness To worship you with all my heart and soul By faith I receive this now And I thank you for it In the name of Jesus Christ Amen Daily Prayer to Get Closer to God & Fight the Real Enemy Our father who art in heaven Hallowed be your name Your kingdom come Your will be done On earth As it is in heaven Give us today our daily bread And forgive us ours sins As we have forgiven the sins made against us by others Lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil In the name of the father and the son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit Amen
Christopher, I have always wondered when does Yeshua stain (dip) His vesture in blood “before” He returns to earth with His armies in Revelation 19:13-14. I believe He is always described as wearing a pure white robe/raiment, post crucifixion and prior to Revelation 19 in the New Testament. In Isaiah 63:1-8 we read that He treads the wine-press “alone” and stains His raiment with blood to redeem His people (Israel – is this when they “SEE” and finally accept the true Messiah). Is this “when” His pure white garments get stained for the first time?…if so then when does He come to earth to do this (to treadeth the wine-press alone – Isaiah 63), prior to Him coming to earth from Heaven with His armies (Revelation19:11-12).? In Daniel 7:13-14 we read that one like the Son of man (Yeshua) came with the clouds of Heaven “to” the Ancient of Days just prior to Him receiving His dominion, glory and kingdom (and many crowns). So…He is heading towards Abba Father (Ancient of Days) on/in the clouds of Heaven…so where is He coming from?…earth? Lets remember, He had not yet received His crown of many crowns until that moment…and yet in Revelation 19 when He comes to earth on a horse, with a vesture dipped in blood and with His armies, He is already wearing His many crowns (crown Him with many crowns). So…to me…the events in Daniel 7:13-14 have to occur prior to Revelation 19:11-12. Which leads me to think that when He comes to the Ancient of Days with the clouds (Daniel 7:13)..
This passage vividly illustrates Enoch’s transformative journey through the heavens, filled with powerful imagery of angels, celestial realms, and divine encounters. The narrative combines awe-inspiring visions with moral lessons, depicting the structure of the cosmos, the fall of certain angels, and the eventual, profound union with God’s presence. It emphasizes themes of purity, obedience, and the consequences of defying divine order.
