<		 22: • 1 Then the angel showed me a river of water of life, shining as crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb [o]. • 2 In the middle of its street and of the river, on this side and on that side, was the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, each yielding its fruit according to month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the ethnic families. • 3 Curse will not exist any longer. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be inside of it, and His servants will serve and worship Him. • 4 And they will see His face and presence, and His name will be upon their foreheads. • 5 Night will not exist there, and they have no need of the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because God will be light upon them, and they will reign into the unfolding of the ages [p].

6 And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true. For the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel-messenger to show the things that must become immediately. 7 Look and see, I am coming swiftly. Blessed is the one keeping guard over the words of the prophecy of this book.”

8 And I, John, am the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel-messenger showing me these things. 9 But he said to me, “See that you do not. I am your fellow servant with your brothers and sisters, the prophets, and with those keeping guard over the words of this book. Worship God!” 10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is near. 11 The one who has been unjust, let him be unjust still; and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still, and he who is just, let him do justice still; and the one who is devoted, let him be devoted still.

• 12 “Look and see, I am coming swiftly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each as his work is. 13 I am the A and the Z, the first and the last, the Source and the Completion. • 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, for their right will be upon the tree of life, and they will enter by the gates into the city. 16 Outside are the dogs, and the drug pushers, and the sexually immoral, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves to do fakery and pretending.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel-messenger to testify these things upon the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the shining morning star.” • 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And the one hearing, let him say, “Come!” And the one thirsting, let him come; the one desiring, let him receive the water of life freely [q).

• 18 I testify to everyone hearing the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone should place [death] upon these things, God will place upon him the striking blows written inside of this book. 19 And if anyone should take [Life] away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and out of the devoted city, of those things written inside of this book.

• 20 The One who testifies these things says, “Yes, I am coming swiftly.” Let it be so; it is so. Come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the devoted ones. Let it be so; it is so.
