Is the ‘tree of life’ in Genesis and Proverbs and Revelation all the same ‘tree’? AND curious that the ‘tree of life’ and that ‘tree of the knowledge of good and evil’ already existed before Genesis 1:3, else we would have been told of their ‘creation’. God said up to then end of Genesis chapter 1 that what he created was GOOD, however after the end of Genesis 1 we do not see those words attributed to what follows.

Yes.

"AND curious that the ‘tree of life’ and that ‘tree of the knowledge of good and evil’ already existed before Genesis 1:3, else we would have been told of their ‘creation’.

Both knowledge and understanding and wisdom existed before the world. Otherwise, God, who provides the Image for man, would have known nothing and not understood that, or known why.

" God said up to then end of Genesis chapter 1 that what he created was GOOD, however after the end of Genesis 1 we do not see those words attributed to what follows.

Once good always good, else it would have been recinded and God would have called His creation bad. He never did that. God never condemned the world either. He loved it. John 3:16,17, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him."
