Revelation 22

The River and the Tree of Life

1And 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 illuminate 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 His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.

7“And behold, 25I am coming quickly. 26Blessed is the one who 27keeps 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 them, 30I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9And 31he said to me, “32Do not do that; I am a 33fellow servant of yours and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who 34keep the words of 35this book. Worship God!”

The Final Message

10And he said to me, “36Do not seal up 37the words of the prophecy of this book, 38for the time is near. 1139Let 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, 40I am coming quickly, and My 41reward is with Me, 42to reward each one as his work 43deserves. 13I am the 44Alpha and the Omega, 45the first and the last, 46the beginning and the end.”

14Blessed are those who 47wash their robes, so that they will have the right to 48the tree of life, and may 49enter the city by the 50gates. 1551Outside are the 52dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral persons, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.

16“53I, Jesus, have sent 54My angel to testify to you of these things 5556for the churches. I am 57the root and the 58descendant of David, the bright 59morning star.”

17The 60Spirit and the 61bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And 62let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires, take the 63water of life without cost.

18I testify to everyone who hears 64the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone 65adds to them, God will add to him 66the plagues that are written in 67this book; 19and if anyone 68takes away from the 69words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from 70the tree of life and 71from the holy city, 72which are written in this book.

20He who 73testifies to these things says, “Yes, 74I am coming quickly.” Amen. 75Come, Lord Jesus.

2176The grace of the Lord Jesus be with 77all. Amen.
