The River of Life

1 And he showed me a1a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.  
2 aIn the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was bthe tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were cfor the healing of the nations.  
3 And athere shall be no more curse, bbut the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His cservants shall serve Him.  
4 aThey shall see His face, and bHis name shall be on their foreheads.  
5 aThere shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor blight of the sun, for cthe Lord God gives them light. dAnd they shall reign forever and ever.  

The Time Is Near

6 Then he said to me, a“These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the1 holy prophets bsent His angel to show His servants the things which must cshortly take place.

Revelation 22:1

Pure river of water of life - This is evidently a reference to the garden of paradise, and the river by which it was watered; and there is also a reference to the account, Ezekiel 47:7-12. Water of life, as we have seen before, generally signifies spring or running water; here it may signify incessant communications of happiness proceeding from God.
