Bible Passage: Revelation
Revelation 22 - John sees a vision of a restored Eden. The River of Life flows from the throne of God down the middle of the city, and a Tree of Life stands on either side of the river, whose leaves are for the healing of the nations. There will be no more curse or night, and God will be the light to the people. The chapter ends with a promise that Jesus is coming soon and he invites everyone to come and drink from the water of life.
Revelation 21 - John sees a vision of a New Heaven and New Earth. He also sees the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven, beautiful as a bride. He then hears a voice that says that God’s dwelling place is now among the people; God will be with them, will be their God, and will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death, mourning, crying, or pain, because God is making everything new.
Revelation 1:12-20 - John sees a vision in which there are seven golden lampstands, and among them is someone like a son of man, wearing a robe and a golden sash. His hair is white like wool and his eyes are a blazing fire, his feet are like bronze and his voice is like rushing waters. In his right hand he holds seven stars, and from his mouth comes a sharp, double-edged sword. His face is shining like the sun. John falls down at his feet, but he tells him not to be afraid, for he is the first and the last, the one who was dead and is now alive again. The mystery of this vision is that the seven lampstands represent seven churches, and the seven stars represent the seven angels of the those churches.
