    22:1 And he shewed me a pure river

    of water of life, clear as crystal,

    proceeding out of the throne of God

    and of the Lamb.

    2 In the midst of the street of it, and

    on either side of the river, was there

    the tree of life, which bare twelve

    manner of fruits, and yielded her

    fruit every month: and the leaves ofthe tree were for the healing of the

    nations.

    3 And there shall be no more curse:

    but the throne of God and of the

    Lamb shall be in it; and his

    servants shall serve him:4 And they shall see his face; and

    his name shall be in their

    foreheads.

    5 And there shall be no night there;

    and they need no candle, neither

    light of the sun; for the Lord Godgiveth them light: and they shall

    reign for ever and ever.

    6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and theLord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants

    the things which must shortly be done. 7 Behold, I come quickly:blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

    Here Jesus is telling us,This is for real; it is true; and it is soon goingto happen!He then says those who keep the things in the book areblessed. What does that mean? Well, it is telling us if we learn about

    the things this book tells us and we give our whole hearts to Jesus andlet Him help us to live His kind of life, we will be very glad and happy.

    And someday, very soon, He will come and take us home.

    Oh, I see some peopleinterested in things that are

    only traps of Satan; they

    have TV programs orcartoons and videos and

    video or computer games andthey think they are so

    important. Or they are all

    caught up with baseball, orfootball, or soccer, orhockey, or basketball andthey think it is the most

    important thing in the wholeworld. But it isnt at all! Themost important thing in thewhole world is to live likeJesus, with Him in yourheart, and be every day

    getting ready for heaven!

    8 And I John saw these things, andheard them. And when I had heard

    and seen, I fell down to worshipbefore the feet of the angel which

    shewed me these things.

    9 Then saith he unto me, See thoudo it not: for I am thy

    fellowservant, and of thy brethrenthe prophets, and of them which

    keep the sayings of this book:

    worship God.

    Here John gets excited again because of the wonderful things he isseeing and forgets and tries to worship the angel again, but he

    patiently reminds him, Worship God.This is very good advice; when we really worship God, we think aboutHim, we admire Him, we love to talk about Him, our whole life aims

    towards Him; Then we will be truly happy.

    10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of thisbook: for the time is at hand.

    We remember that the book of Daniel was sealed until the 'Time of theEnd', but Revelation was not to be sealed as its prophecies were

    unfolding even as John was writing the book.

    11 He that is unjust, let him beunjust still: and he which is filthy,let him be filthy still: and he thatis righteous, let him be righteousstill: and he that is holy, let him

    be holy still.12 And, behold, I come quickly;and my reward is with me, to giveevery man according as his work

    shall be.13 I am Alpha and Omega, the

    beginning and the end, the firstand the last.

    This is the announcement Jesuswill make when human probationcloses. It is a solemn time whenthe destinies of all have been

    fixed forever not by anarbitrary decision on the part of

    God; but each soul, by his owndaily choices, will have sealed his

    fate to where it can never bereversed. Oh, may we be found on

    Jesus' side all on that day!

    that do hiscommandments, thatthey may have rightto the tree of life,and may enter in

    sorcerers, andwhoremongers, and

    murderers, andidolaters, andwhosoever loveth and

    maketh a lie.

    Who are going to be in heaven?Those who obey God. Who aregoing to be left out? Dogs-

    This isnt bow-wow doggies, no,it means cruel and heartless,wicked people. Sorcerers

    Have you noticed a lot of peopleinto magic and witches and

    wizards these days? Well, theymust repent and leave thosethings or never see heaven!

    Whoremongers and murderersThis means sexually impure

    people and those who kill and

    are cruel to others.Idolaters are people who lovesomething or someone betterthan they love Jesus and His

    ways.

    Those who Love and Make lies- this is a very serious one, it includespeople who like to pretend things that are not true are true, and peoplewho like to read or see fiction stories, and it includes people who write

    or make fiction stories or movies. It also includes being dishonest inany way, and those who refuse to believe the Bible because they wouldrather have things some other way. The only safety is always love what

    is true!

    I would invite all who read this, to look around in your life and if youfind any things, (games, stories, books, TV, fantasies, Movies) that

    are not true get them out of your life! Then replace them with GodsWord and true things. I can tell you from experience, you will be

    soooo happy you did!

    16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things inthe churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the

    bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come.

    And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

    18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of theprophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God

    shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this

    prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out

    of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

    20 He which testifieththese things saith, Surely

    Then that voice, richer than any music that ever fell on mortal ear, isheard, saying: Your conflict is ended. ...Come, you blessed of My

    Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation ofthe world. This is our hope. This is our destiny! We can live forever!

    If we miss eternity, we have missed everything.

    19/20

    If we are not prepared forChrists soon return, we will miss

    the greatest event in history.

    Jesus says Come; Come toforgiveness. Come for mercy. Comefor victory over besetting sin.

    Come to eternity. Come enter thekingdom prepared for you. If you

    desire to live in His kingdomforever, bow before Him,surrender your life to Him, takeinto your hands the Holy Bible,open it and with a prayer for

    guidance read it. Ask Him to guideyou and make this a reality for

    you!
