The River and the Tree of Life |

Then he showed me a river of the water of life,
clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, |
|
|
|
Revelation 22:2
|
|
in the middle of its street. On either side
of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its
fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
|
|
|
|
Revelation 22:3
|
|
There will no longer be any curse; and the throne
of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; |

|
|
they will see His face, and His name will be
on their foreheads. |
|
|
|
Revelation 22:5
|

And there will no longer be any night; and they
will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the
Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever. |
|
|
|
Revelation 22:6

who showed me these things. |
|
|
|
Revelation 22:9
|

to me, "Do not do that. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the

near. |
|

and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous,
still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy." |

"Behold, I am coming quickly,
and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. |

you these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David,
the bright morning star." |
|
|
|
Revelation 22:17
|
|
The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let
the one who hears say, "Come." And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one
who wishes take the water of life without cost. |
|
|
|
Revelation 22:18

|
I testify to everyone who hears the words of
the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues
which are written in this book; |
|
|
|
Revelation 22:19
|
|
and if anyone takes away from the words of the
book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from
the holy city, which are written in this book. |
