CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO - NEW JERUSALEM - RIVER AND TREE OF LIFE - EXHORTATION - ETERNAL KINGDOM

22:1-21
John sees a pure river of water of life proceeding out of the throne of God. He sees trees of life that produce fruit on either side of the river. Every month the tree yields fruit and the leaves are for the healing of the nations. (Ezek 47.12; 43.1-7). There is no more curse. The servants of God see His face and reign in His light forever. The angel issues a final exhortation to those who read this book throughout the ages. This is what is coming. Be faithful and you will receive these rewards. 1 Corinthians 2.9

We are told this Revelation is to encourage us and strengthen us. That is everyone throughout history past and present who have been shown these great promises. This book is to bless them. Blessed are all who do his commandments Rev 22:14. In our time 7,000 years have passed. In God’s time only 7 days! The eighth day is dawning. Be steadfast, immoveable, always abounding in the Lord. Amen and Amen. Isaiah 60.19-21

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. 1 Corinthians 2.9; Isaiah 64.4
