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, 9 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, 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. Amen.

John 15:5
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
When Jesus is reminding us to Abide in Him, He could be paraphrased as saying, "Hold fast to the Truth." We tend to be like seeds on the path, life rushes on and we fail to strongly hold to what is warm in us for Jesus Christ. His Word living and active in us, as Grace.
When we say we can see the Names of Jesus in Heaven, we are creating memories of what we know God has put in His Word about His Kingdom. And I'd believe these Names Honor the Building of His Kingdom. If you do not agree, you might see this as mnemonic device.
The Alpha and the Omega. Maybe like the Lion and the Lamb.
Today, Christ is Cornerstone
Isaiah 28:16
Therefore this says the Lord God: 'Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation. '
Where is Jesus placed in Revelation 22?
The water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne
God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of the street of the city
on either side of the river, the tree of life
Jesus told us the Kingdom of Heaven is like a tree, with branches to shelter.
The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Amen.
The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it

Blessed is the one who keeps the Words
Cornerstone:
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
They may enter the city by the gates
I am the root and the descendant of David
The Bright Morning Star.
The Brightness of Jesus in all the Gospels.
Easily seen in the middle of Town, freely available:
