22^*The angel also showed me the river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal, and coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb ²^*and flowing down the middle of the city’s street. On each side of the river was the tree of life, which bears fruit twelve times a year, once each month; and its leaves are for the healing of the nations. ³^*Nothing that is under God’s curse will be found in the city. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him. ⁴They will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. ⁵^*There shall be no more night, and they will not need lamps or sunlight, because the Lord God will be their light, and they will rule as kings for ever and ever.

⁷“Listen!” says Jesus. “I am coming soon! Happy are those who obey the prophetic words in this book!”
