Revelation 22:1-9

1Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life – water as clear as crystal – pouring out from the throne of God and of the Lamb,

2flowing down the middle of the city’s main street. On each side of the river is the tree of life producing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month of the year. Its leaves are for the healing of the nations.

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

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

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

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

7(Look! I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy expressed in this book.)

8I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things, and when I heard and saw them, I threw myself down to worship at the feet of the angel who was showing them to me.

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