Revelation
22
- Then the angel showed me the river of the
water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of
the Lamb
- down the middle of the great street of the
city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops
of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for
the healing of the nations.
- No longer will there be any curse. The throne
of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
- They will see his face, and his name will
be on their foreheads.
- There will be no more night. They will not
need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give
them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
- The angel said to me, "These words
are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets,
sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place."
- "Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed
is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book."
- I, John, am the one who heard and saw these
things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the
feet of the angel who had been showing them to me.
- But he said to me, "Do not do it! I
am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all
who keep the words of this book. Worship God !"
- Then he told me, "Do not seal up the
words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near.
- Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong;
let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to
do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy."
- "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward
is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
- I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First
and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
- "Blessed are those who wash their robes,
that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates
into the city.
- Outside are the dogs, those who practice
magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone
who loves and practices falsehood.
- "I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give
you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David,
and the bright Morning Star."
- The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!"
And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come;
and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
- I warn everyone who hears the words of the
prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him
the plagues described in this book.
- And if anyone takes words away from this
book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life
and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
- He who testifies to these things says, "Yes,
I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
- The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's
people. Amen.
