THE BOOK OF REVELATION

 

Revelation Chapter 22

1 ¶ Then the angel showed me a pure river of the water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2 Between the street on one side, and the river on the other side, was the tree of life, which bore twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

3 And there will no longer be any curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city; and his servants will honor him:

4 And they will see his face; and his name will be in their foreheads.

5 And there will not be any night there; and they do not need a lamp, or the light of the sun; for the Lord God will give them light: and they will reign for ever and ever.

6 ¶ And the angel said to me, These words are true and certain: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.

7 Behold, I am coming soon: blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book.

8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel that showed me these things.

9 And he said to me, Do not do it: for I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

10 Then he said to me, Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he who 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.

12 Behold, I am coming soon; and my reward is with me, to render to every man according to what he has done.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

15 For outside of it are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loves and makes a lie.

16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who hears say, Come. And let him who is thirsty come. And whoever so desires, let him take the water of life freely.

18 For I testify to every man who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book:

19 And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life, and the holy city, and the things that are described in this book.

20 ¶ He who testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
