Revelation 22
|
1 |
And he showed me a pure river of water of
life, Ezek. 47.1 · Zech. 14.8 clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of
the Lamb.
|
2 |
In the midst of the street of it, and on
either side of the river, was there the tree of life, Gen.
2.9 which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
|
3 |
And there shall be no more curse: Zech.
14.11 but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in
it; and his servants shall serve him:
|
4 |
and they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
|
5 |
And there shall be no night there; and
they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God
giveth them light: Is. 60.19 and they shall reign for ever and ever. Dan. 7.18

Jesus to Come
Soon |
6 |
And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets
sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must
shortly be done.
|
7 |
Behold, I come quickly.
Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this
book.
|
8 |
And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship
before the feet of the angel which showed me these things.
|
9 |
Then saith he unto me, See thou do
it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the
prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship
God.
|
10 |
And he saith unto me, Seal not the
sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
hand.
|
11 |
He that is unjust, let him be unjust
still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that
is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let
him be holy still. Dan. 12.10
|
12 |
And, behold, I come quickly; and my
reward is with me, Is. 40.10 ; 62.11 to
give every man according as his work shall be. Ps. 28.4
|
13 |
I am Alpha and Ome'ga, the beginning and
the end, Rev. 1.8 the first and the last. Is. 44.6 ; 48.12 · Rev. 1.17 ; 2.8
|
14 |
Blessed are they that do his
commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, Gen.
2.9 ; 3.22 and
may enter in through the gates into the city.
|
15 |
For without are dogs, and
sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and
whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
|
16 |
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify
unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the
offspring of David, Is. 11.1 and the bright and morning star.
|
17 |
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.
And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst
come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Is.
55.1
|
18 |
For I testify unto every man that
heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add
unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are
written in this book:
|
19 |
and if any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy, Deut. 4.2 ; 12.32 God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out
of the holy city, and from the things which are written in
this book.
|
20 |
He which testifieth these things saith,
Surely I come quickly: Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
|
21 |
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
