Revelation 22

The River and the Tree of Life

1Then 1he showed me a 2river of the 3water of life, 4clear 5as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of 6the Lamb, 2in the middle of 7its street. 8On either side of the river was 9the tree of life, bearing twelve 10kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 311There will no longer be any curse; and 12the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will 13serve Him; 4they will 14see His face, and His 15name will be on their 16foreheads. 5And 17there will no longer be any night; and they 18will not have need 19of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will 20reign forever and ever.

6And 21he said to me, “22These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the 23God of the spirits of the prophets, 24sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.

7“And behold, 25I am coming quickly. 26Blessed is he who 27heeds 28the words of the prophecy of this book.”

829I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, 30I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9But 31he said to me, “Do not do that. I am a 32fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who 33heed the words of 34this book. Worship God.”

The Final Message

10And he said to me, “35Do not seal up 36the words of the prophecy of this book, 37for the time is near. 1138Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.”

12“Behold, 39I am coming quickly, and My 40reward is with Me, 41to render to every man 42according to what he has done. 13I am the 43Alpha and the Omega, 44the first and the last, 45the beginning and the end.”

14Blessed are those who 46wash their robes, so that they may have the right to 47the tree of life, and may 48enter by the 49gates into the city. 1550Outside are the 51dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

16“52I, Jesus, have sent 53My angel to testify to you these things 5455for the churches. I am 56the root and the 57descendant of David, the bright 58morning star.”

17The 59Spirit and the 60bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And 61let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the 62water of life without cost.

18I testify to everyone who hears 63the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone 64adds to them, God will add to him 65the plagues which are written in 66this book; 19and if anyone 67takes away from the 68words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from 69the tree of life and 70from the holy city, 71which are written in this book.

20He who 72testifies to these things says, “Yes, 73I am coming quickly.” Amen. 74Come, Lord Jesus.

2175The grace of the Lord Jesus be with 76all. Amen.
