Revelations 22

Revelations 22
- The angel showed John the river of life which flows from God's throne through the city.
- The tree of life is on both sides of the river
- Why isn't "tree" plural?
- The tree yield 12 kinds of fruit, a different one each month (so time still works during this time)
- The leaves of the tree were for healing the nations.
- There is no longer anything accursed, but God will be in it all.
- His servants will worship Him and His name will be on their foreheads.
- There will be no more night and God will be their light.
- The angel told John that these wards are trustworthy and true.
- God sent the angel to show John what must soon take place.
- Whoever keeps the words of the prophecy of this book will be blessed.
- John again states that when he saw these things he fell down to worship the angel who told him not to do that.
- The angel was with John and the others and they were to worship God.
- The angel told John not to seal up this prophecy for the time was near.
- The wicked will still be wicked and the righteous still do righteous things.
- He (the angel?) says he will soon repay everyone for what they have done. He is the Alpha and Omega (Is this the angel or God speaking now?)
- Blessed are those who wash their robes (or keep His commandments)
- Those who do will right will enter the city and have access to the tree of life.
- Outside are the dog; those who do evil and love to practice falsehood.
- Jesus says He sent His angel to tell these things to the churches.
- Jesus says He is the root and descendant of David, the bright morning star
- The Spirit and the Bride say come to those who want to drink of the water of life without price

- Jesus says, "Surely I am coming soon."
- John ends by saying " The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all (or all of the saints). Amen"
