Revelation 22 - YES, I AM COMING SOON! Amen. Come, LORD JESUS!













Revelation 22:1-21 NIV







Eden Restored








1Then the angel showed me The River of The Water of Life, as clear as crystal, Flowing From The THRONE Of GOD and Of The LAMB 2down the middle of the great street of the city.








On each side of the river Stood The Tree of Life, Bearing twelve crops of fruit, Yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 











3No longer will there be any curse. The THRONE of GOD and of The LAMB Will Be in the city, and HIS servants will serve HIM. 


4They will see HIS FACE, and HIS NAME Will be on their foreheads. 


5There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, For The LORD GOD Will Give them Light. And they will reign for ever and ever.











John and the Angel







6The angel said to me, 


“These words are trustworthy and true. 



The LORD, The GOD WHO Inspires the prophets, Sent 


HIS angel to Show HIS Servants the things that must 


soon take place.”



7 “Look, I AM Coming Soon! 


Blessed is the one who keeps the 

WORDS of the Prophecy Written In This 

Scroll.”








8I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. 


9But he said to me, 



“Don’t do that! 

I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow 

prophets and with all who keep The WORDS of This 

Scroll. 


Worship GOD!”



10Then he told me,




“Do not seal up The WORDS of The Prophecy of This 

Scroll, because the time is near.


11Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”








Epilogue: Invitation and Warning









12 “Look, I AM Coming Soon! 


MY Reward Is With ME, and I Will Give 

To each person according to what they 

have done. 



13 I AM The Alpha and The Omega, 


The First  and The Last, 


The Beginning and The End.








14“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they 

may have the right To the Tree of Life and may go 

through the gates into the city. 


15Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, 

the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and 

everyone who loves and practices falsehood.









16 “I, JESUS, Have Sent MY angel To Give 

you This Testimony For the churches. 


I AM The ROOT 


and The Offspring of David, 


and The Bright Morning Star.”









17 The SPIRIT and the bride say, “Come!” 

And let the one who hears say, “Come!” 

Let the one who is thirsty come; and let 

the one who wishes take The Free Gift of 

The Water of Life.








18I warn everyone who hears The WORDS of The Prophecy of This Scroll: If anyone adds anything To Them, GOD Will Add to that person the plagues described In This Scroll. 


19And if anyone takes WORDS away from This Scroll of Prophecy, GOD Will Take Away from that person any share In The Tree of Life and In The Holy City, which are described In This Scroll.



20HE WHO Testifies to these things Says, 


“YES, I AM COMING SOON.”


AMEN. COME, LORD JESUS.




21 The Grace of The LORD JESUS Be With GOD’S 

People. 



Amen.










Revelation 21 - The New Heaven And The New Earth Is The Place Where We Will Spend Eternity














Revelation 21:1-27 NIV








1Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for 

the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, 

and there was no longer any sea.



2 I saw The Holy City, The New Jerusalem, coming 

down out of Heaven From GOD, prepared as a bride 


beautifully dressed for her Husband.









3 And I heard a loud Voice from The THRONE 


Saying, 


“Look! 

GOD’S Dwelling Place Is now among the people, and HE Will Dwell With them. 

They will be HIS People, and GOD HIMSELF Will Be With them and Be their GOD. 








4‘HE Will Wipe every tear from their eyes. 








There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”



5HE WHO Was Seated On The THRONE Said, 


“I AM Making Everything New!”


Then HE Said,


“Write This Down, 

For These WORDS Are Trustworthy and 

True.”



6 HE Said To me:


“It Is Done. 

I AM The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning and The End. 









To the thirsty I Will Give water without cost from the spring of The Water of Life. 











7Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I Will Be their GOD and they will be MY Children.


8But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the 

murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice 

magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be 

consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 


This is the second death.”













The New Jerusalem, The Bride of The LAMB






9One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me,



 “Come, I will show you the bride, 

The Wife of The LAMB.” 








10And he carried me away In The SPIRIT to a mountain 

great and high, and showed me The Holy City, 

Jerusalem, Coming Down Out Of Heaven From GOD. 


11It shone With The Glory of GOD, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. 14The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of The LAMB.


15The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls.16The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadiac in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubitsd thick.e 18The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.f 21The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. 


The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.







22I did not see a Temple in the city, because The LORD GOD ALMIGHTY and The LAMB Are its Temple.


23The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, For The Glory of GOD Gives it Light, and The LAMB Is its Lamp. 



24The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.



25On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. 


26The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 


27Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written In The LAMB’S Book of Life.
