Revelation 22:1-9

1Then he showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

2down the middle of the city’s main street. The tree of life was on each side of the river, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for healing the nations,

3and there will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him.

4They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

5Night will be no more; people will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light, and they will reign forever and ever.

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

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

8I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown them to me.

9But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you, your brothers the prophets, and those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
