"And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the Throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." (Revelation 22:1, 2)
Newer translations have a comma after, "....and of the Lamb." Regardless, the, "....water of life...and...the tree of life," reveal the all-encompassing provision of the Life of the Godhead, "....in the middle...and on either side...." This means now and forever, eternally.
"The leaves...were for the healing...." The Greek Word for, "healing," is the Word from which we get the word therapy. Now I will not speculate any further on all possible implications. I just receive this glorious revelation of the "Heavenly reward," all possible only in the Blood of Jesus Christ.
Father, in Jesus' Name, I thank You for Your Most Precious Blood which allows me entrance into such glory. Amen.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
