"The river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb."
On either side of the river is the Tree of Life:
It bears 12 kinds of fruit.
It yields fruit every month.
Its leaves are "for the healing of the nations."
"No longer will there be any curse."
"They will see his face."
Throughout much of the Bible, seeing God's full glory is portrayed as impossible for sinful humanity. Here, God's people enjoy direct, unhindered fellowship with him.
"They will reign forever and ever."
Three times Jesus Christ says: "Behold, I am coming soon."
"Let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost."
This expresses the offer of God's gift of eternal life to all who respond.
Rev22 warns readers not to add to or take away from "the words of the prophecy of this book." The Bible closes with a simple prayer: "Amen. Come, Lord Jesus Christ."
The very last verse says:
"The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people. Amen."
