The Tree No Hand May Touch
Michael explains that the throne-mountain is where the Holy Great One, the Lord of Glory, the Eternal King, will sit when he comes to visit the earth in goodness. The fragrant tree is reserved, no one may touch it until the great judgment, and will then be moved to the temple, its fruit given to the righteous, who will live long, joyful lives free of sorrow.
