OET-RV REV Chapter 22

OETREV 22 ©

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

22[ref]Then he showed me the river of the water of life that sparkled like crystal. It flowed out of the throne of God and the lamb. 2[ref]In the middle of its path and in the middle of the river reaching from one side to the other was the tree of life that produces twelve fruits—a different one each month—and the leaves of the tree are for healing the nations 3[ref]and there won’t be a curse any more.

The throne for God and the lamb will be in the city, and his slaves will be serving him. 4They will see his face, and his name on their foreheads. 5[ref]Nights won’t exist any more and they won’t need the light from a lamp or from the sun because the master God will illuminate them, and they will reign through the ages.

22:6 Yeshua’s return

6Then he said to me, “These messages are faithful and true, and the master, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his messenger out to show his slaves what’s planned to happen soon.”

7“Yes, listen, I’m coming soon. Whoever follows the messages of the prophecy on this scroll will be blessed.”

8I, Yohan, am the one who saw and heard all those things, and when I heard and saw them, I knelt down to worship at the feet of the messenger who showed them to me. 9But he told me, Hey, no! I’m a fellow slave of you and of your brothers the prophets and of the ones who obey the words of this book. Worship God.” 10Then he continued, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. 11Those who disobey God can continue to do so and those who’re filthy can continue to be so, but those who obey God should continue to obey, and those who’re godly should continue to be godly.”[ref]

12(Yeshua says,)Listen, I’m coming back soon, bringing my reward to distribute to each person according to their behaviour.[ref] 13I’m the A and the Z—the first and the last—the beginning and the end.[ref]

14Blessed are those who’re washing their robes so that they’ll have authority over the tree of life (MEANING???) and so that they’ll be able to enter the city through the gates.[ref] 15On the contrary, those outside the city are dogs and sorcerers, the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone loving and exhibiting dishonesty.

16“I, Yeshua, have sent my messenger to explain these things to you concerning the churches. I am both David’s source and his descendant—the bright morning star.”[ref]

17The spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.’[ref]

Anyone who hears this should also say, ‘Come.’

Anyone who’s thirsty to live forever should come. Anyone who wants it can take the water that gives life free of charge.

22:18 Farewell

18[ref]I am testifying to everyone who hears the prophecies written in this document: If anyone adds to these words, then God will add to them the plagues written in this document. 19And if anyone takes away any of this prophetic document, then God will take away their share in the tree of life and in the holy city that’s written about in this document.

20The one who testified about these things says: ‘Yes, I’m coming quickly.’

May it be so. Come, master Yeshua.

21May the grace from the master Yeshua be with the godly people.
