ISSL Reflections August 21 2022 Revelation 22:1–7 Post 3

VII.
So we see the river, the water of life, the tree of life, fruit, leaves and a place where “there will be no more night…

And then there is healing. Healing from … ?

VIII.
Revelation 22:1-7 (New Revised Standard Version)

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. Nothing accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will worship him; they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.

And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true, for the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”

“See, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

IX.
And on top of the “healing of the nations,” “… his servants will worship him; they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

It seems when “the Lord God [is] their light” so many things can come to be.

What do you think will come about more and more in your life as you look to the face of the Lord God, allow the Lord God to be your light and carry the name of the Lord God with you into each day?
