Revelation 22 ~ I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things.

1 Corinthians 13:12

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

Revelation 22

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 

3 No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him. 4 They will see his face, and His name will be on their foreheads. 5 And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.

6 And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”

7 “And behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. 

And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me,  but He said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

10 And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”

12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

14 Blessed are those who wash their robes,^{[manuscripts add, to do his commandments]} so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

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 desires take the water of life without price.

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” 

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.^{[manuscripts add, all the saints]} Amen.


Trustworthy and true, in Jesus Christ, we have begun eternity today. 

The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. And still, the best is yet to unfold. We shall see again those we love, who live in Him, on the shores of the crystal water.

The Tree of Life is from and at the beginning of Heaven.  This particular Tree exists today in His Kingdom. The leaves of the tree heal the nations.

Heaven is the mirror of our life, yet far greater.

Zacchaeus must have known the healing of Jesus in the tree. 

The Leaves of His Tree. Heaven and the Kingdom of Jesus.

The saints enter the city by the gates. There are 12 gates each made from a single pearl.

Matthew 13:45

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it."

Jesus knew and spoke of His Kingdom. The Lord God will be their light.

Revelation 21:21

And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.

John heard and saw these things. When he heard and saw them, he fell down to worship. Jesus testified to you about these things for His Churches. 

We are Living Stones, a Royal Priesthood

Abba, Father God,

And the Beauty of Your Mercy to those with Love.

Help us "Follow You" first like Levi.

Trusting Your Love that we are giving people.

The Joy of the Lord is our Strength.

Help us gain in solid strength in You, Abba,

Instead, with Love, Jesus, let the new match the old

and be seamless like Your Robe.

Pleasing You, Abba.

Not bursting apart

the containers of life You have given us

instead, being renewed

with the Oil of Gladness

in Salvation and Love.

We pray for the Nation.
