Revelation
22
Easy-to-Read
Version (ERV)
22 The angel
showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal. The river flows
from the throne of God and the Lamb. 2 It flows down the middle of the street
of the city. The tree of life is on each side of the river, and it produces
fruit every month, twelve times a year. The leaves of the tree are for healing
the nations.
3 Nothing
that God judges guilty will be there in that city. The throne of God and the
Lamb will be in the city. God’s servants will worship him. 4 They will see his
face. God’s name will be written on their foreheads. 5 There will never be
night again. People will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun.
The Lord God will give them light. And they will rule like kings forever and ever.
6 Then the
angel said to me, “These words are true and can be trusted. The Lord, the God
of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what
must happen soon: 7 ‘Listen, I am coming soon! Great blessings belong to the
one who obeys the words of prophecy in this book.’”
8 I am John.
I am the one who heard and saw these things. After I heard and saw them, I
bowed down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me. 9 But the
angel said to me, “Don’t worship me! I am a servant like you and your brothers
the prophets. I am a servant like all those who obey the words in this book.
You should worship God!”
10 Then the
angel told me, “Don’t keep secret the words of prophecy in this book. The time
is near for these things to happen. 11 Let anyone who is doing wrong continue
to do wrong. Let anyone who is unclean continue to be unclean. Let anyone who
is doing right continue to do right. Let anyone who is holy continue to be
holy.”
12 “Listen,
I am coming soon! I will bring rewards with me. I will repay everyone for what
they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, [a] the First and the Last,
the Beginning and the End.
14 “Great
blessings belong to those who have washed their robes. [b] They will have the
right to eat the food from the tree of life. They can go through the gates into
the city. 15 Outside the city are all those who live like dogs—those who do
evil magic, those who sin sexually, those who murder, those who worship idols,
and those who love to lie and pretend to be good.
16 “I,
Jesus, have sent my angel to tell you these things for the churches. I am the
descendant from the family of David. I am the bright morning star.”
17 The
Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Everyone who hears this should also say,
“Come!” All who are thirsty may come; they can have the water of life as a free
gift if they want it.
18 I warn
everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds anything
to these, God will give that person the plagues written about in this book. 19
And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take
away that person’s share of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are
written about in this book.
20 Jesus is
the one who says that all of this is true. Now he says, “Yes, I am coming
soon.”
Amen! Come,
Lord Jesus!
21 The grace
of the Lord Jesus be with all people.
That's
the last verse... I had completed the bible. Thanks God.
Today
also is the 1st day I had my fasting prayer. When start on the fasting prayer.
I
fast on lunch time only, but temptation started. That day lunch time Sister
order a great lunch for all of us, but I'm the only one fasted. OMG.
Thanks
God I success to encounter the temptation as I know that God you strengthen me.
At
night, I join a gathering that I thought fun gathering, but when I reach there,
all is gossip about my boss, situation to my Ex boss. I hate kinda feeling, and
I know I done something not a favour of God. I try to escape of them. I start
to be silent and sit beside. A colleague asking me that is that I will betray
them as I'm not joining them to gossip and judge my boss and other. God, I
wanna to be different, I wanna be a favour of God too.
I'm
struggling and I sms my best friend. She will keep me in prayer.
Another
good think happen is my colleague share with me something that I really feel
that a need to care about her. I know God talk to be non-stop. I feel great and
before I sleep, a brother encourage me through "line". Thanks God.
God is great all the time.
