(Revelation 22)
THEN
he showed me the River whose waters give LIFE,
Sparkling
like crystal,
Flowing
out from the Throne of God and of the Lamb
Through
the middle of the broad way of the City;
Also,
on either side of the River, The Tree Of LIFE
With
its Twelve Varieties of Fruit, yielding each month its fresh crop;
And
the leaves of the Tree were for the healing
And
the restoration of the Nations. [Gen. 2:9.]
There
shall no longer exist there anything
That
is accursed—detestable foul, offensive, impure, hateful or
horrible.
But
the Throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it,
And
His servants shall worship Him—pay divine honors to Him
And
do Him holy service. [Zech. 14:21.]
They
shall see His Face,
And
His Name shall be on their Foreheads. [Ps. 17:15.]
And
there shall be no more Night;
They
have no need for lamplight or sunlight,
For
the Lord God will Illuminate them and be their Light,
And
they shall Reign (as kings) Forever and Ever--
Through
the Eternities of the Eternities.
And
he [of the Seven Angels further] said to me,
These
statements are reliable—worthy of confidence—and genuine (true).
And
the Lord, the God of the spirits of the Prophets,
Has
sent His messenger (angel) to make known and exhibit to His servants
WHAT
MUST SOON COME TO PASS.
AND
BEHOLD, I AM COMING SPEEDILY,
Blessed
(happy and to be envied) is he
WHO
OBSERVES AND LAYS TO HEART
AND
KEEPS THE TRUTHS OF THE PROPHECY--
The
Predictions, Consolations and Warnings--
Contained
in this Little Book.
And
I John am he who heard and witnessed these things.
And
when I heard and saw them,
I
fell prostrate before the feet of the Messenger (angel)
Who
showed them to me, to worship him.
But
he said to me, Refrain!--You must not do that!
I
am [only] a fellow servant
Along
with yourself and of your brethren the Prophets,
And
those who are mindful and practice [the truths contained in]
The
Messages of this Book. WORSHIP GOD!
And
he [further] told me,
DO
NOT SEAL UP THE WORDS OF THE PROPHECY OF THIS BOOK
And
make No Secret of them;
For
the time when things are brought to a Crisis
And
the Period of their Fulfillment IS NEAR.
He
who is Unrighteous (unjust, wicked) let him be Unrighteous still,
And
he that is Filthy (vile, impure) let him be Filthy still,
And
he that is Righteous (just, upright, in right standing with God)
Let
him do Right still,
And
he who is Holy let him be Holy still. [Dan. 12:10.]
BEHOLD
I AM COMING SOON,
And
I shall bring My Wages and Rewards with Me,
To
repay and render to each one
Just
what his own actions and his own work merit. [Isa. 40:10; Jer.
17:10.]
I
AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA
The
First and the Last (the before all and at the End of all)
[Isa.
44:6; 48:12.]
BLESSED
(happy and to be envied) Are those who cleanse their garments
That
they may have the Authority and Right
To
[approach] The Tree Of LIFE
And
to enter in through the Gates to the City. [Gen. 2:9; 3:22, 24.]
[But]
without are the Dogs and those who Practice Sorceries (magic arts)
And
Impurity (the lewd, adulterers)
And
the Murderers and Idolaters
And
every one who loves and deals win Falsehood--
Untruth,
Error, Deception, Cheating.
I,
JESUS HAVE SENT MY MESSENGER (ANGEL)
To
you to Witness and to give you assurance of these things
For
the Churches (assemblies).
I
AM [BOTH] THE ROOT (THE SOURCE) AND THE OFFSPRING OF DAVID,
The
Radiant and Brilliant Morning Star. [Isa. 11:1,10.]
The
(Holy) Spirit and the Bride [the Church, the true Christians]
Say,
COME!
And
let him who is listening say, COME!
And
let everyone come who is THIRSTY
[Who
is Painfully Conscious of his need
Of
those things
By
which the soul is refreshed, supported and strengthened];
And
whoever [EARNESTLY] desires to do it,
LET
HIM COME AND TAKE AND APPROPRIATE (DRINK)
THE
WATER OF LIFE WITHOUT COST. [Isa. 55:1.]
I
[personally solemnly] WARN Every One who listens
To
the statements of the Prophecy
[The
Predictions and the Consolations and Admonitions pertaining to them]
IN
THIS BOOK:
If
anyone shall add anything to them,
God
will add and lay upon him the Plagues—The Afflictions and
Calamities--
That
are recorded and described in THIS BOOK.
And
if anyone cancels or take away from the statements
OF
THE BOOK OF THIS PROPHECY--
These
predictions relating to Christ's Kingdom and its Speedy Triumph,
Together
with the Consolations and Admonitions (WARNINGS)
Pertaining
to them—
GOD
WILL CANCEL and TAKE AWAY FROM HIM
His
Share in THE TREE OF LIFE
And
in the City of Holiness (pure and hallowed)
Which
are Described and PROMISED in THIS BOOK.
HE
WHO GIVES THIS WARNING
And
Affirms and Testifies to these things, says, YES—IT IS TRUE.
[SURELY]
I AM COMING QUICKLY—SWIFTLY, SPEEDILY.
Amen—so
be it! YES, COME, LORD JESUS!
The
Grace (blessing and favor) of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah
Be
with all the Saints—God's Holy People
[Those
Set Apart for God, to be, as it were, Exclusively His].
Amen—so
let it be!
(Revelation
22, AMP)
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is Raging Against God, Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's Present Form is Passing Away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on Earth as in Heaven!
