REVELATION 21:22  22:21

2179

Written From the Island of Patmos

22 And I saw no temple therein: for the 1 LORD GOD ALMIGHTY and the 2 LAMB are the temple of it. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the 3 LAMB is the light thereof. 24 And 4 the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. 25 5 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be 6 no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. 27 7 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatso- ever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Revelation 22 The new river during the Millennium Date Written - c. AD 96 1 And he shewed me a 8 pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceed- ing out of the throne of GOD and of the LAMB . PF 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the 9 tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the 10 healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but 11 the throne of GOD and of the LAMB shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 12 And they shall see his face; and his N AM E shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be 13 no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them 14 light: and they shall reign 15 for ever and ever. 6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the 16 LORD GOD of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. The promise of CHRIST’S return (Rapture) (Fulfilled - Rev 4:1) 7 Behold, 17 I come quickly: 18 blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. P 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them . And when I had heard and seen, 19 I

fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship 20 God. 10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. The promise of rewards (Fulfilled - Rev 4:1,2) 12 And, behold, 17 I come quickly; and 21 MY reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. PP 13 I am 22 ALPHA AND OMEGA , the be- ginning and the end, 23 the first and the last. 14 24 Blessed are they that do his com- mandments, 25 that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I 26 JESUS have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the 27 ROOT and the offspring of David, and the bright and 28 MORNING STAR . 17 And the SPIRIT and the 29 bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And 30 whosoever will, let him take the 31 WATER OF LIFE freely. 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, 32 If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his 33 part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
