Revelation 22 ~ through the middle of the street of the city

 



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.






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 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. 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. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 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.

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.”

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

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.”

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

“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for 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, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

“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.”

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.

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, 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.

He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

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
Thick in the Blessings 
They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 
Darkness no more. Truth and faith are not forgotten.

Steadfast to Eternity. Abiding.
For the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.

These words are trustworthy and true.

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:
Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.


We can easily see Jesus Cornerstone in Revelation 22!





Jesus is Proclaiming - Loudly - Pray It Like You Mean It!!!




And when we get together and pray - we are so privileged and grateful


Abba, Father God,


We delight to ask You Always and, in every day, Eternity Dwell in us.
Let the Wind and Fire and Noise of Life be from You.
Keep us alive to Abide Vividly.

We pray for the ones we love AND the people You have given us - Jesus 
Love and Comfort.
Your Ongoing Blessings. Willing Blessings.
Help us to seek You first
And finish well.

 For this Nation and the World. 
Help us when we have God Opportunities - to please You. Yes. Help, Please. We ask You to guide, bless and protect us in creating God Opportunities.

Help us, Abide Joyously. Help us not to tire of being wise
and guarding our health. Not to be weary and give up.
Help us to help each other to be Safe.
To listen to our Doctors and feel diligent.
God's own wisdom.

Blessings for us for Edward's skin condition  
and my strong heart and heart valves. Finally able to go to the eye doctor tomorrow.
 Thank You for your prayers.
Safety in God's Plan and Promises, Thank You, Jesus Christ.
Our sons and for our family. And all families gather this Thanksgiving. 

You call us Good as Your Creation. 
We join the wait of Creation, to see the sons of God.
Having You direct, guide and lead us in Your Blessings in Hope, Patience and Diligence.

We lift up the ongoing weeks of Congress and States Legislatures. 
Real Compassion for the People and Healing  
We ask Father God to send His Blessings on Winter Weather and Covid.  
We ask healing of the extreme toxicity. 
Bless Your people depending on You. 
Your Willing Mercy.

For my mother entering Heaven.
The Comfort of my father's many, like Pharaoh, Dreams of his early in life passing on
and returning to her decades later, his much detailed dream, to bless my mother with Heaven.
For His Timing.

Healing for the world as two very promising medicines were approved.


Our hope does not disappoint us because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through Your Holy Spirit - given to us. 
Amen and Amen in Jesus!

Psalm 130 ~ O Israel, hope in the Lord! †

 



Psalm 130



A Song of Ascents

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2     O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
    to the voice of my pleas for mercy!

3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
    O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
    that you may be feared.

5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
    and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord

    more than watchmen for the morning,
    more than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, hope in the Lord!

    For with the Lord there is steadfast love,
    and with him is plentiful redemption.
8 And he will redeem Israel
    from all his iniquities.



Behold, the Lamb of God 

John 1:29 

The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, 
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!






Revelation 5:5 

Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep!  
See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, 
the Root of David, 
has triumphed. 
He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”




Revelation 10:3 
And he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. 
When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke.


Jesus and the money changers of the Temple



Romans 13:4 

He is God's servant for your good. 

But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. 
For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer.


Isaiah 11:6 

The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, 
and the calf
 and the lion and the fattened calf together; 
and a little child shall lead 




Isaiah 35:9 

No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, 
it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there


Isaiah 65:25 

The wolf and the lamb shall graze together; 
the lion shall eat straw like the ox, and dust shall be the serpent's food. 
They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain,” 
says the Lord.








1 John 2 

My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin.
 But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. 

He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.


When we think of the Lion will lie down with the Lamb, we see they dwell together. 

Heaven is when the Salvation of Jesus Christ is manifest with the Children of God.  
This is where Jesus advocates for the faithful. Hebrews always reminds us God rewards those who have looked and sought for Him. The Lamb of God lets the Lion of the Tribe of Judah become fulfilled.

Does this cancel the miracle of the species in Heaven. No, this is the Living Word of God where all things are possible.


Isaiah 65

“For behold, I create new heavens
    and a new earth,
and the former things shall not be remembered
    or come into mind.

18 But be glad and rejoice forever
    in that which I create;
for behold, I create Jerusalem to be a joy,
    and her people to be a gladness.

19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem
    and be glad in my people;

no more shall be heard in it the sound of weeping
    and the cry of distress.
20 No more shall there be in it
    an infant who lives but a few days,
    or an old man who does not fill out his days,
for the young man shall die a hundred years old,
    and the sinner a hundred years old shall be accursed.

21 They shall build houses and inhabit them;
    they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

22 They shall not build and another inhabit;
    they shall not plant and another eat;
for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be,
    and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.

23 They shall not labor in vain
    or bear children for calamity,
for they shall be the offspring of the blessed of the Lord,
    and their descendants with them.

24 Before they call I will answer;
    while they are yet speaking I will hear.

25 The wolf and the lamb shall graze together;
    the lion shall eat straw like the ox,
    and dust shall be the serpent's food.
They shall not hurt or destroy
    in all my holy mountain,”
says the Lord.









Abba, Father,


We give Thanks being covered by the Name of Jesus.

 Knowing to call upon You to cover those we Love in Your Strong Name.

 Covering this prayer from those we know - to the communion of saints - all the way to the Nation and surrounding all the planet - where yesterday, today and tomorrow - 

You see Your Creation as Good. 

Amen and Amen in the Alleluia of Jesus!

Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
