1 The River of Life And he showed me Ps. 46:4; Ezek. 47:1; (Zech. 14:8) a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 Ezek. 47:12 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was Gen. 2:9; (Rev. 2:7; 22:14, 19) the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were Rev. 21:24 for the healing of the nations.
3 And Zech. 14:11 there shall be no more curse, Ezek. 48:35 but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His Rev. 7:15 servants shall serve Him.
4 (Ps. 17:15; 42:2; Matt. 5:8;1 Cor. 13:12;1 John 3:2) They shall see His face, and Rev. 14:1 His name shall be on their foreheads.
5 Is. 60:19; Rev. 21:23 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor Rev. 7:15 light of the sun, for Ps. 36:9 the Lord God gives them light. Dan. 7:18, 27; Matt. 19:28; (Rom. 5:17); 2 Tim. 2:12; Rev. 20:4 And they shall reign forever and ever.
6 The Time Is Near Then he said to me, Rev. 19:9 “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets Rev. 1:1 sent His angel to show His servants the things which must Heb. 10:37 shortly take place.
7 (Rev. 3:11) “Behold, I am coming quickly! Rev. 1:3 Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, Rev. 19:10 I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
9 Then he said to me, Rev. 19:10 “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
10 Dan. 8:26; Rev. 10:4 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, Rev. 1:3 for the time is at hand.
11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
12 Jesus Testifies to the Churches “And behold, I am coming quickly, and Is. 40:10; 62:11 My reward is with Me, Rev. 20:12 to give to every one according to his work.
13 Is. 41:4 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
14 Dan. 12:12; (1 John 3:24) Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right (Prov. 11:30); Rev. 2:7 to the tree of life, Rev. 21:27 and may enter through the gates into the city.
15 But Matt. 8:12;1 Cor. 6:9; Gal. 5:19; Col. 3:6; Rev. 21:8 outside are Deut. 23:18; Matt. 7:6; Phil. 3:2 dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
16 Rev. 1:1 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. 2 Sam. 7:12; Is. 9:7; Jer. 23:5; Rev. 5:5 I am the Root and the Offspring of David, Num. 24:17; Luke 1:78;2 Pet. 1:19 the Bright and Morning Star.”
17 And the Spirit and (Rev. 21:2, 9) the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Is. 55:1; Rev. 21:6 And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.
18 A Warning For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: Deut. 4:2; 12:32; Prov. 30:6 If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, Ex. 32:33 God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20 I Am Coming Quickly He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
