Eve’s story teaches that God’s words are always trustworthy, and that temptation often comes through twisting what God has said.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, Eve helps the children understand how important it is to listen to God’s voice above every other voice. Jesus teaches the kids that Eve was created with honor and purpose, and Gabriel gently explains how deception works—how lies can sound “almost true” but still lead us away from God. Eve’s story becomes a loving lesson about wisdom, humility, and choosing obedience—and it also points to God’s mercy, because even after the fall, God promised a Savior.
Bible Verse
“And the LORD God said, I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” — Genesis 3:15
Abel
Abel is gentle, faithful, and sincere in his love for God. He doesn’t try to impress people—he simply wants to honor the Lord with a pure heart. Abel’s life shows that God sees what’s inside us, and He delights in worship that comes from faith.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, Abel helps the children learn what true worship looks like. Jesus explains that Abel brought his offering with love and trust, and Gabriel helps the kids understand that God looks at the heart—not just the gift. Abel also becomes a tender lesson about jealousy and unfairness, reminding the children that even when doing right is hard, God notices, and God is close to the faithful.
Bible Verse
“By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain…” — Hebrews 11:4
Cain
Cain is strong-willed and intense, and he struggles with jealousy when things don’t go the way he wants. Instead of letting God shape his heart, Cain lets anger grow inside him until it turns into something dangerous. His story teaches that sin often starts small—like a bad feeling we don’t surrender to God.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, Cain helps the children learn how important it is to bring their feelings to God before they spill over. Jesus gently explains that God warned Cain and offered him a better way, and Gabriel helps the kids understand that temptation tries to “crouch” at the door of our hearts. Cain’s story becomes a serious but child-safe lesson: when we choose pride and anger, it hurts others—and it hurts us too—but God still calls us to repent and do what is right.
Bible Verse
“If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door…” — Genesis 4:7
City of Asshuar
The City of Asshuar is a busy, growing place where people build, create, and try to feel “safe” without God. It’s full of activity—tools, music, markets, and tall structures—but underneath the noise, hearts begin to drift. The city becomes a picture of what happens when people rely on their own strength more than the Lord.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, the City of Asshuar helps Jesus and Gabriel teach the children a gentle but important lesson: a place can look successful on the outside, yet still be empty inside if it forgets God. The kids learn that God isn’t against building or creativity—He loves purpose and beauty—but He wants our hearts to stay humble and obedient. Asshuar becomes a “warning setting” that reminds the children to build their lives on God’s Word, not on pride.
Bible Verse
“And Cain… builded a city…” — Genesis 4:17
City of Enoch
The City of Enoch is one of the first big cities after Eden—a place where people begin settling, building, and forming a new kind of life outside the garden. It looks impressive on the outside, with growth and community, but it also carries a quiet sadness: it’s a reminder that humanity is now living in a world changed by sin. The city becomes a picture of how people can keep moving forward—yet still need God’s presence and truth.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, the City of Enoch helps Jesus and Gabriel teach the children about two different paths: building life with God, or building life without Him. Jesus explains that God cares about people in every city, but He wants hearts to stay close to Him, not proud or hardened. Gabriel helps the children see that cities can be used for good—families, learning, work, creativity—but when people forget the Lord, even a strong city can become spiritually weak. The lesson is simple: don’t just build buildings—build your heart on God.
Bible Verse
“And Cain… builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.” — Genesis 4:17
City of Eridu (Erdiu)
Eridu is an ancient city from early Mesopotamian history—often remembered as one of the earliest cities people built long ago. It can feel impressive and “old-world majestic,” with temples, waterways, and busy life—but it also reminds us that human civilization can grow fast while hearts still need God. Eridu becomes a picture of people building great things… and needing to stay humble.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, the City of Eridu is shown as a powerful early city setting where families are thriving, working, and expanding. Jesus and Gabriel use Eridu to teach the children a simple lesson: building cities and creating culture isn’t the problem—forgetting God is. The kids learn that the safest place isn’t the biggest city; it’s a heart that stays close to the Lord.
Bible Verse
“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it…” — Psalm 127:1
(Note: Eridu is a real ancient Sumerian city site in southern Iraq, known from archaeology and ancient Mesopotamian tradition, not named directly in Genesis. but is classified as a pre-flood city)
Enoch
Enoch is gentle, faithful, and deeply close to God. While the world around him grows louder and darker, Enoch chooses to walk with the Lord in a quiet, steady friendship. His life shows that you can love God sincerely—even when others don’t—and that God notices a faithful heart.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, Enoch becomes a beautiful example for the children of what it means to “walk with God” every day. Jesus explains that Enoch didn’t just believe in God—he stayed near Him, listened to Him, and obeyed Him. Gabriel helps the kids understand that Enoch’s story is hopeful: when someone lives to please God, the Lord keeps them close and honors their faith. Enoch reminds the Treehouse kids that being faithful is powerful, even if it’s quiet.
Bible Verse
“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” — Genesis 5:24
Pre-Flood World
The Pre-Flood World was a breathtaking early Earth—fresh, full of life, and overflowing with God’s original design. It was a time when the world still carried echoes of Eden, with beauty, abundance, and wide open lands. But as generations grew, many hearts began to drift away from God, and the world became filled with violence and corruption.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, the Pre-Flood World becomes the “big picture” setting that helps the children understand why the Flood mattered. Jesus shows them that God created the world good, and that He always wanted people to live in love, obedience, and peace. Gabriel helps the kids see the contrast: when people reject God’s ways, darkness spreads—even in a beautiful world. This setting teaches an important truth: God’s judgment is real, but so is His mercy, because He always provides a way to be saved.
Bible Verse
“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth… and the earth was filled with violence.” — Genesis 6:5, 11
The Serpent
The serpent is the creature that speaks to Eve in the Garden and tries to make God’s words sound doubtful. It is crafty and deceptive—using questions, half-truths, and confusion to pull people away from obedience. In the Pre-Flood story, the serpent becomes the first “warning sign” for the children: not every voice is safe, and God’s Word must always come first.
Origins (and the link to “Seraphim”)
In Scripture, the Bible shows that Satan is the real enemy behind the deception, and that he used the serpent as a tool in the Garden. The Bible does not clearly say the serpent was a seraph (seraphim), but it does show these truths:
Seraphim are holy, “fiery” angels who serve God in worship (seen in Isaiah 6).
Satan was originally a glorious angelic being who later fell through pride (described in passages like Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28).
The serpent in Eden is connected to Satan later in the Bible, where he is called “that old serpent” (Revelation).
So for your teaching: you can say seraphim are God’s holy angels, and the serpent’s deception came from Satan, a fallen spiritual being—without claiming the serpent came from the seraphim as a certain fact.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Treehouse lessons, Jesus teaches the children how the enemy works: he tries to twist God’s words and make sin look “small.” Gabriel calmly shows them the defense: truth, obedience, and staying close to God. The serpent becomes a teaching moment about discernment—listening to God’s voice above every other voice.
Bible Verse
“Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field…” — Genesis 3:1
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan…” — Revelation 12:9
Nephilim
The Nephilim are mysterious figures mentioned in the Bible during the days before the Flood. Scripture presents them as connected to a time when the world was becoming more corrupted and violent. Because the Bible doesn’t give every detail, the Nephilim are best taught as a serious “warning sign” from that era—showing how far humanity was drifting from God’s order.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood lessons, Jesus and Gabriel explain the Nephilim in a careful, child-safe way: the world was becoming darker, and there were things happening that were not part of God’s design. The focus stays on what children need to learn: God sees everything, God is holy, and God protects His people. The Nephilim become a teaching moment about staying close to God when the world around you is confused or wrong.
Bible Verse
“There were giants in the earth in those days…” — Genesis 6:4
Leviathan
Leviathan is a mighty “sea creature” the Bible uses to describe something huge, powerful, and scary—like a picture of chaos in the deep. Whether it’s describing a real creature, a poetic symbol, or both, the main message is clear: nothing is too big for God. Leviathan reminds us that even the deepest waters and the greatest fears are still under the Lord’s authority.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Treehouse, Leviathan is used as a gentle lesson about fear and spiritual confidence. Jesus explains that kids don’t have to be afraid of “big monsters” or “big problems,” because God is bigger than all of it. Gabriel helps the children understand that the enemy loves to make things feel overwhelming—but God rules the sea, the storm, and every hidden place. Leviathan becomes a faith moment: when something feels too big, we run to the One who is stronger.
Bible Verse
“Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?” — Job 41:1
Behemoth
Behemoth is a powerful land creature described in the Bible as huge, strong, and peaceful—but absolutely unstoppable in strength. He isn’t shown as evil; he’s shown as God’s craftsmanship—a reminder that the Lord can create something enormous and still keep it under His control. Behemoth teaches that God’s power is greater than anything we can imagine.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood lessons, Behemoth becomes a “wow moment” for the children—like seeing one of God’s giant creations walking calmly through the land. Jesus explains that big creatures don’t have to be scary when they’re in God’s hands. Gabriel helps the kids understand the deeper lesson: if God can care for something as strong as Behemoth, then God can definitely care for you. Behemoth becomes a faith-builder—God is bigger than every fear.
Bible Verse
“Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.” — Job 40:15
Fallan Angels
Fallen Angels
Fallen angels are angels who chose rebellion instead of obedience to God. They were created to serve the Lord, but they followed pride and darkness, turning away from His goodness. Their story reminds us that God is holy, and that choosing sin always brings separation and harm.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, Jesus and Gabriel explain fallen angels in a child-safe way: some spiritual beings chose to disobey God, and they try to spread lies, fear, and confusion on the earth. The children learn that we don’t have to be afraid, because God’s authority is greater, and Jesus is Lord over Heaven and earth. Fallen angels become a lesson about discernment—staying close to God’s Word, choosing obedience, and trusting that God protects His children.
Bible Verse
“And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation…” — Jude 1:6
Semjaza (Shemihazah)
Semjaza is a name found in ancient Jewish writings outside the Bible (often linked to the story of rebellious “Watchers”). He is remembered as a leader figure who chose pride and disobedience instead of staying faithful to God. His story is a warning: spiritual rebellion always brings darkness, confusion, and harm.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood lessons, Jesus and Gabriel mention Semjaza carefully as part of “ancient tradition,” not as the Bible’s main storyline. The focus stays on what Scripture clearly teaches: some angels rebelled, and God is holy and in control. Semjaza becomes a child-safe lesson about not following bad leadership, resisting pride, and choosing obedience—even when others try to pull you into wrong choices.
Bible Verse
“And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation…” — Jude 1:6
(Note: The name “Semjaza” comes from extra-biblical writings like 1 Enoch, not directly from the Bible text.)
Azazel (Azael)
Azazel is a name that shows up in the Bible in connection with the Day of Atonement—when one goat was offered to the Lord and another was sent away into the wilderness as a symbol of sin being carried away. In some ancient Jewish writings outside the Bible, “Azael/Azazel” is also used as the name of a rebellious spirit connected to corruption and wrongdoing. Either way, the big lesson is the same: God deals with sin seriously—and God provides a way to cleanse and restore.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood lessons, Jesus and Gabriel handle Azazel in a careful, child-safe way: the children learn that God does not ignore sin, but He also doesn’t leave us hopeless. Jesus teaches that God’s plan has always pointed toward forgiveness and cleansing, and Gabriel explains that anything dark or rebellious must answer to God’s authority. The focus stays on hope: God removes sin, and Jesus is the true Savior who carries our burdens away.
Bible Verse
“And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat (Azazel).” — Leviticus 16:8
Armaros (Armârôs)
Armaros is a name found in ancient Jewish writings outside the Bible (often listed among the rebellious “Watchers”). He is remembered as a figure connected to teaching people harmful, deceptive practices—things that pull hearts away from God’s truth. His story is a warning that not all “knowledge” is good, and that wisdom must come from the Lord.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood lessons, Jesus and Gabriel mention Armaros carefully as part of ancient tradition, while keeping the focus on what Scripture clearly teaches: some angels rebelled, and God is completely in control. The children learn a simple, safe lesson—when something tries to lead you into darkness, confusion, or pride, you step back and choose God’s light. Armaros becomes a teaching moment about discernment: God’s truth brings peace; deception brings fear and disorder.
Bible Verse
“For God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell…” — 2 Peter 2:4
(Note: “Armaros” is named in extra-biblical writings like 1 Enoch, not directly in the Bible text.)
Noah
Noah is faithful, steady, and brave—especially when he’s surrounded by a world that isn’t listening to God. He doesn’t follow the crowd; he follows the Lord. Noah’s life shows that obedience is powerful, and that trusting God can protect your family even when the world feels chaotic.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, Noah becomes the main example of what it looks like to walk with God when others won’t. Jesus explains that Noah listened to God’s instructions step-by-step, even when it took a long time and people mocked him. Gabriel helps the children understand the heart of the story: the ark wasn’t just a boat—it was God’s rescue plan. Noah teaches the Treehouse kids that doing the right thing matters, and that God always makes a way for those who trust Him.
Bible Verse
“Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” — Genesis 6:8
Noah’s Wife
Noah’s wife is steady, faithful, and strong in a quiet way. While Noah is building the ark, she carries the daily weight of family life—supporting the mission, encouraging her household, and staying loyal to God even when the world around them laughs and rejects the truth. Her life shows that faith isn’t only bold words—it’s also patient endurance.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, Noah’s wife helps the children see that God’s rescue plan involved the whole family working together. Jesus gently explains that behind Noah’s obedience was a home filled with perseverance and trust. Gabriel highlights an important lesson for the kids: sometimes the strongest faith looks like staying faithful day after day, helping, praying, and not giving up. She becomes a beautiful example of a supportive, courageous “helper” who stands with righteousness.
Bible Verse
“Through faith… [they] prepared an ark to the saving of his house…” — Hebrews 11:7
Shem
Shem is respectful, steady, and faithful—one of Noah’s sons who chose to stay close to God during a time when the whole world was drifting into darkness. He listens, learns, and follows his father’s guidance with a sincere heart. Shem’s life reminds us that you don’t have to be the loudest person to be strong—you just have to be faithful.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, Shem helps the children understand what it means to obey God as a young person. Jesus shows that Shem didn’t just watch Noah build the ark—he joined in, trusted God, and stayed loyal to the truth even when it was unpopular. Gabriel helps the kids see that God builds future generations through faithful children who choose righteousness. Shem becomes a lesson in honoring parents, standing for what’s right, and helping God’s plan move forward.
Bible Verse
“Blessed be the LORD God of Shem…” — Genesis 9:26
Shem’s Wife
Shem’s wife is gentle, wise, and quietly courageous. She carries a peaceful spirit, even during frightening days, and she chooses faith over fear. Her life shows that godly strength doesn’t have to be loud—it can be steady, faithful, and full of hope.

She becomes a picture of a faithful young woman who walks into God’s rescue plan with courage and love.
Bible Verse

Ham
Ham is energetic, adventurous, and strong—one of Noah’s sons who lived through the most world-changing event in human history. He is a reminder that being close to a godly family doesn’t automatically mean your heart stays right; every person still has to choose honor, humility, and obedience for themselves. Ham’s story becomes a lesson about respecting family, guarding your heart, and learning from correction.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, Ham helps Jesus and Gabriel teach the children about character after the storm—how we act when life “goes back to normal.” Jesus explains that God wants His people to live with honor, especially inside the home. Gabriel helps the children understand this in a gentle way: words and choices matter, and disrespect can cause real pain. Ham’s story becomes a child-safe lesson about owning mistakes, choosing repentance, and learning to honor parents and family.
Bible Verse
“Honour thy father and thy mother…” — Exodus 20:12
Ham’s Wife
Ham’s wife is strong, observant, and practical—someone who learned how to survive, adapt, and keep going through the Flood and into a brand-new world. She carries resilience, but she also needs wisdom, because starting over requires more than strength—it requires humility and a heart that stays close to God. Her life reminds us that God cares about how families grow, heal, and choose righteousness after hardship.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, Ham’s wife helps the children see what it looks like to rebuild life after a huge event.

Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, Japheth helps the children learn about unity, honor, and doing the right thing even when it’s uncomfortable. Jesus explains that after the Flood, God gave humanity a fresh start, and Japheth’s choices helped protect peace in the family. Gabriel highlights a key lesson: when someone makes a mistake, we don’t spread shame—we cover, protect, and handle things with honor. Japheth becomes an example of mature character and respectful love.
Bible Verse
“And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders… and covered the nakedness of their father…” — Genesis 9:23

Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Pre-Flood series, the Ark becomes one of the biggest visual lessons for the children. Jesus explains that God gave Noah a way of salvation long before the rain ever started, showing God’s mercy and patience.

Old Testament Places Characters
Tower of Babel
The Tower of Babel is a story about people trying to build something so great that they could make a name for themselves without needing God. The tower wasn’t just a building—it was a picture of pride, control, and unity without obedience. God stepped in, not to be mean, but to stop evil from growing and to guide humanity back toward His plan.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Treehouse, Jesus uses Babel to teach the children that it’s good to build, create, and work together—but our hearts must stay humble. Gabriel explains that when people chase pride, it leads to confusion and division, but when we follow God, He brings true unity and peace. The children learn a simple lesson: don’t build your life on “look how great I am”—build it on “God is great.”
Bible Verse
“Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth…” — Genesis 11:9
Nimrod
Nimrod is known in the Bible as a powerful leader and a mighty hunter. He represents ambition, strength, and a drive to build kingdoms—yet his story is often remembered as a warning about leadership that exalts itself instead of honoring God. Nimrod’s life reminds us that power without humility can lead people away from the Lord.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Treehouse lessons, Jesus and Gabriel use Nimrod to teach the children about the difference between strong leadership and proud leadership. Jesus explains that true greatness is serving God and people, not trying to make yourself famous. Gabriel helps the kids understand that God wants leaders with clean hearts—leaders who protect others, tell the truth, and stay humble. Nimrod becomes a lesson in choosing God’s ways over building a name for ourselves.
Bible Verse
“And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.” — Genesis 10:8

Ur teaches that faith often begins with a choice: trust God’s voice more than your comfort zone.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Treehouse lessons, Jesus uses Ur to show the children that God can call anyone—anywhere—to a new journey of faith. Gabriel explains that Abraham’s family came from a real place with real routines, but God had a bigger plan.

Bible Verse
“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country… unto a land that I will shew thee.” — Genesis 12:1
Haran
Haran is the “in-between place”—the stop on the journey where Abraham’s family lived for a time before continuing toward God’s promise.

Canaan teaches that faith means trusting God step-by-step until the promise becomes reality.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Treehouse, Jesus explains that Canaan is where God was building a future for His people—a land where families would grow, worship would be restored, and God’s plan for Messiah would unfold.

Sodom & Gomorrah
Sodom and Gomorrah were cities that became known for great wickedness and pride. The story shows that when a community continually rejects what is right, sin grows heavier and more destructive. God’s judgment on these cities teaches that evil has consequences—but it also highlights God’s mercy, because He listens to intercession and rescues those who are willing to follow Him.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In Holy Spirit Treehouse, Jesus and Gabriel teach this story in a child-safe way: the cities chose darkness, but God always offers a way out for those who want to obey Him. Jesus explains that God is loving and patient, but He is also holy and just. Gabriel helps the children focus on the hope: God protected Lot when he listened, and Abraham’s prayers mattered. The lesson is simple—choose God’s ways, and don’t let sin pull your heart into the dark.
Bible Verse
“Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?” — Genesis 18:25
Mount Moriah
Mount Moriah is a sacred place where God tested Abraham’s faith and revealed something deeply important about His heart.

Mount Moriah teaches that God is a provider, and that true faith trusts Him even when the path is hard.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In Holy Spirit Treehouse, Jesus explains Mount Moriah as a powerful picture of God’s love: Abraham’s willingness to obey points forward to how God would one day give His own Son for the world. Gabriel helps the children understand the safest message: God never wanted harm—He wanted to reveal faith and show that He provides the sacrifice. The kids learn that when we trust God, He will provide what we need at the right time.

It’s a place of holy awe—thunder, smoke, and God’s powerful presence—showing that the Lord is not small or ordinary. Mount Sinai teaches that God is holy, and His commandments are given to protect us and guide us in love.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In Holy Spirit Treehouse, Jesus explains that God’s law wasn’t meant to crush people—it was meant to show them the right path. Gabriel helps the children understand the meaning behind the commandments: God loves His people and wants them to live in truth, kindness, and obedience. Mount Sinai becomes a lesson about reverence and relationship—God is mighty, but He also invites His children to listen, learn, and follow.
Bible Verse
“And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain…” — Exodus 19:3
Shechem
Shechem is one of the first important places Abraham stopped when he entered the Promised Land. It becomes a “starting point” of faith—where God spoke, where altars were built, and where choices were made that shaped future generations. Shechem teaches that where you worship matters, and that following God often begins with small steps of obedience.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In Holy Spirit Treehouse, Jesus uses Shechem to show the children that faith isn’t only about big miracles—it’s also about building an altar in your heart and listening to God’s voice. Gabriel explains that Shechem was a place where God’s promises were spoken out loud, and people had to decide if they would trust Him. Shechem becomes a lesson about dedication: “This is where I choose God.”
Bible Verse
“And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD…” — Genesis 12:7
Goshen (Egypt)
Goshen is the region in Egypt where Jacob’s family (Israel) lived and grew into a great people. It was a place of shelter and provision during famine—but it also became the setting where Israel later experienced slavery and cried out to God. Goshen teaches that God can sustain His people in hard places, and that He never forgets His covenant.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In Holy Spirit Treehouse, Jesus uses Goshen to show the children that God can keep a family safe even inside a land that doesn’t honor Him. Gabriel explains that Goshen became a “separate place” where God watched over His people and began preparing their deliverance. The lesson is simple and comforting: even when you’re surrounded by trouble, God knows where you are, and He is already working on rescue.
Bible Verse
“And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell… to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.” — Exodus 8:22
The Red Sea
The Red Sea is where God performed one of the greatest rescues in the Bible—He made a way where there was no way. With Pharaoh’s army behind them and water in front of them, Israel learned that God’s power is bigger than fear, and His deliverance is real. The Red Sea teaches that when God leads, the impossible becomes possible.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In Holy Spirit Treehouse, Jesus explains that the Red Sea wasn’t just a miracle—it was a message: God protects His people and defeats what tries to destroy them. Gabriel helps the children understand the heart of the moment: when fear rises, we keep moving forward in faith because God goes before us. The Red Sea becomes a lesson about courage, trust, and God’s mighty saving hand. it is also the firts type and shadow of Baptism.
Bible Verse
“Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD…” — Exodus 14:13
Pillar of Fire (Wilderness)
The Pillar of Fire was God’s glowing presence that led His people through the wilderness at night. It wasn’t just a light in the sky—it was a sign that God was with them, guiding them, protecting them, and keeping them from fear in the darkness. The Pillar of Fire teaches that God doesn’t abandon His children in hard seasons—He goes with them.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In Holy Spirit Treehouse, Jesus explains that the Pillar of Fire is a beautiful “type and shadow” of how the Holy Spirit leads God’s people today—still guiding, still comforting, still bringing light when things feel dark. Gabriel helps the children understand it in a simple way: the Holy Spirit is like God’s warm presence that says, “Follow Me—I’m here.” The kids learn that they can ask the Holy Spirit for help, direction, and courage anytime.
Bible Verse
“And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud… and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light…” — Exodus 13:21
Pillar of Cloud (Wilderness) — “Wind of God” Picture
In the wilderness, God led His people with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. The cloud moved ahead of them like a living guide—sometimes calming, sometimes powerful—showing that God was present and leading them step by step. It teaches that God can guide His children even when the path feels unknown.
Type & Shadow Connection (Pentecost / Holy Spirit “Wind”)
You’re thinking in a really good “Bible pattern” way here: while the Bible calls it a pillar of cloud (not literally “pillar of wind”), it can be taught as a picture of the Holy Spirit’s leading—and it pairs beautifully with Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came with the sound of a mighty rushing wind and believers spoke in tongues. The lesson for kids: just like God led Israel from the outside with a cloud, God now leads believers from the inside through the Holy Spirit—guiding, empowering, and giving boldness.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In the Treehouse, Jesus explains that God’s Spirit doesn’t leave us alone in the wilderness moments of life. Gabriel helps the children connect the pattern: God guided Israel with the cloud, and God filled the Church with His Spirit at Pentecost—with wind, fire, and new language as a sign of God’s power. The kids learn that the Holy Spirit still leads today—bringing courage, direction, and praise that rises up from the heart.
Bible Verse
“And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud…” — Exodus 13:21
“And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind…” — Acts 2:2
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues…” — Acts 2:4
Wilderness of Paran
The Wilderness of Paran is a wide, rugged desert region where Israel journeyed during the wilderness years. It represents seasons of testing, waiting, and learning to trust God day by day. Paran teaches that the wilderness isn’t a punishment when God is leading—it’s often a place where faith grows stronger.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In Holy Spirit Treehouse, Jesus uses Paran to show the children that God can provide in dry places and guide us when we feel unsure. Gabriel explains that wilderness seasons can feel long, but God is still speaking, still protecting, and still shaping His people into who they’re meant to be. Paran becomes a lesson in patience: when life feels like a desert, God is still with you—and He is still faithful.
Bible Verse
“And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth, and pitched in the wilderness of Paran.” — Numbers 12:16
Tabernacle
Tabernacle Camp
The Tabernacle Camp was the place where God’s people lived together around the Tabernacle—God’s special dwelling place among them in the wilderness.

The Tabernacle Camp teaches that God loves community, holiness, and worship centered on His presence.
Connection to Holy Spirit Treehouse
In Holy Spirit Treehouse, Jesus explains that the Tabernacle was like a “meeting place” where people could come near to God, and the camp around it showed that God should be the center of our lives. Gabriel helps the children understand that God’s presence brought protection, guidance, and peace to the whole camp. The kids learn a beautiful truth: today, God doesn’t live in a tent—He lives with His people, and through the Holy Spirit He can dwell in our hearts.

Later, the Jordan became the place where Jesus was baptized—showing humility, obedience, and the beginning of His public ministry.

Connection to Holy Spirit Tree House
In Holy Spirit Tree House, Jesus shows the children Bethlehem on a simple “Bible map” and explains that He came first as a baby, gentle and humble, because God wanted to come close to us. Gabriel helps the kids see that Bethlehem proves something powerful: God planned salvation long before it happened, and His love is not proud or distant—it’s near, warm, and personal.
Bible Verse
“But you, Bethlehem… out of you shall come forth… the One to be Ruler in Israel.” — Micah 5:2

Description
Jerusalem is the city King David established as the heart of Israel, and where the Temple was built.
