Revelation 22
The river of the water of life.
Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb:
The tree of life.
Revelation 22:2 in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, [is] a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree [are] for the service of the nations; Revelation 22:3 and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him, Revelation 22:4 and they shall see His face, and His name [is] upon their foreheads,
The light of the city of God is himself.
Revelation 22:5 and night shall not be there, and they have no need of a lamp and light of a sun, because the Lord God doth give them light, and they shall reign—to the ages of the ages. Revelation 22:6 And he said to me, 'These words [are] stedfast and true, and the Lord God of the holy prophets did send His messenger to shew to His servants the things that it behoveth to come quickly: Revelation 22:7 Lo, I come quickly; happy [is] he who is keeping the words of the prophecy of this scroll.' Revelation 22:8 And I, John, am he who is seeing these things and hearing, and when I heard and beheld, I fell down to bow before the feet of the messenger who is shewing me these things;
The angel will not be worshipped.
Revelation 22:9 and he saith to me, 'See—not; for fellow-servant of thee am I, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those keeping the words of this scroll; before God bow.' Revelation 22:10 And he saith to me, 'Thou mayest not seal the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is nigh; Revelation 22:11 he who is unrighteous—let him be unrighteous still, and he who is filthy—let him be filthy still, and he who is righteous—let him be declared righteous still, and he who is sanctified—let him be sanctified still: Revelation 22:12 And lo, I come quickly, and my reward [is] with me, to render to each as his work shall be; Revelation 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and End—the First and the Last. Revelation 22:14 'Happy are those doing His commands that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of the life, and by the gates they may enter into the city; Revelation 22:15 and without [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the whoremongers, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one who is loving and is doing a lie. Revelation 22:16 'I, Jesus did send my messenger to testify to you these things concerning the assemblies; I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star! Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come; and he who is hearing—let him say, Come; and he who is thirsting—let him come; and he who is willing—let him take the water of life freely.
Nothing may be added to the Word of God, nor taken therefrom.
Revelation 22:18 'For I testify to every one hearing the words of the prophecy of this scroll, if any one may add unto these, God shall add to him the plagues that have been written in this scroll, Revelation 22:19 and if any one may take away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the scroll of the life, and out of the holy city, and the things that have been written in this scroll;' Revelation 22:20 he saith—who is testifying these things—'Yes, I come quickly!' Amen! Yes, be coming, Lord Jesus! Revelation 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you all. Amen.
