Revelation 22:4

Revelation 22:4

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.

7 ^a“Behold, I am coming quickly! ^bBlessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
