1And he showed me a nahar (river) of Mayim Chayyim (Water of Life) bright as crystal, going forth out of the Kisse (Throne) of Hashem and of the SEH#22:1 Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7 Moshiach (Lamb).#22:1 Ps 36:8; 46:4; Ezek 47:1; Zech 14:8
2In the middle of the rekhov (street) of it, and on either side on the nahar (river) was the Etz HaChayyim, producing Shneym Asar Perot (Twelve Fruits), according to each chodesh (month), yielding the p'ri of it, and the leaves of the Etz (tree) were for the refu'ah (healing) of the Nations.#22:2 Ezek 47:12
3And there shall no longer be any Kelalah (Curse), and the Kisse (Throne) of Hashem and of the SEH (Lamb),#22:3 Ex 12:3; Isa 53:7 Moshiach shall be in it, and His avadim shall serve Him.#22:3 Zech 14:11
4And they shall see His face, and ha-Shem of Him will be on the metsakhim (foreheads) of them.
5And there shall no longer be Lailah, and they have no need of the ohr (light) of a menorah and the ohr (light) of the shemesh (sun), because Hashem Adonoi will give forth ohr (light) on them, and they shall reign l'Olemei Olamim.#22:5 Isa 60:19; Dan 7:27
6And he said to me, “These devarim are ne'emanim and amittiyim, and Hashem, the Elohei ruchot hanevi'im (G-d of the spirits of the prophets) sent His malach (angel) to show to His avadim (servants) things which are imminent.
7And hinei, I am coming quickly. Ashrey is the one who is shomer, keeping the devarim hanevu'ah (words of the prophecy) of this sefer (book).”
8And I, Yochanan, am the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell to worship before the feet of the malach (angel) showing me these things.
9And he says to me, “See that you do not do it; a fellow eved of yours I am, and of your Achim, the Nevi'im (prophets), and of the ones who are shomer, keeping the devarim of this sefer;
10Worship Hashem!” And he says to me, “Do not seal up the devarim hanevu'ah (words of the prophecy) of this sefer (book), for the zman (time) is at hand.#22:10 Dan 8:26
11Let the one being unrighteous, let him be unrighteous noch (still); and let the one who is filthy be filthy noch, and let the tzaddik be a tzaddik noch,#22:11 Dan 9:25 and let the kadosh yitkadesh noch (holy person be sanctified still).#22:11 Ezek 3:27; Dan 12:10
12Hinei, I am coming quickly, and My sachar (reward) is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done.#22:12 Isa 40:10; 62:11
13I am the Aleph and the Tav, HaRishon (The First) and HaAcharon (The Last), HaReshit (The Beginning) and HaTachlit (The Ultimate).
14Ashrey are the ones washing their kaftans, that they may have the right to the Etz HaChayyim (the Tree of Life) and they may enter by the she'arim (gates) into the city.
15Outside are the kelevim (dogs) and the mekhashfim (sorcerers, abusers of drugs);#22:15 T.N. the original language “pharmakoi” is where we derive the word for “drugs”; sorcerers often abused drugs to hallucinate or induce a passive state when they worked their magic and witchcraft; see Ga 5:20 and Rv 21:8 and the zonim (sexually immoral) and the rotzkhim (murderers) and the ovdei haelilim (idolaters) and everyone loving and practicing sheker.#22:15 Dt 23:18
16I, Yehoshua sent My malach (angel) to give solemn eidus (testimony) to you of these things, for the Kehillot. I am the Shoresh (root) and the tzemach of Dovid, the Kokhav HaShachar.”
17And the Ruach Hakodesh and the Kallah say, “Bo!” And the one hearing let him say, “Bo!” And the one thirsting, let him come, the one desiring let him take the Mayim Chayyim freely.
18I give solemn edut to everyone hearing the divrei haNevu'ah of this sefer: if anyone adds to them, Hashem will add to him the makkot (plagues) which are written in this sefer;#22:18 Dt 4:2; 12:32; Prov 30:6
19And if anyone takes away from the devarim of the sefer of this nevu'ah (prophecy), Hashem will take away his share of the Etz HaChayyim and from the Ir HaKodesh, which are written of in this sefer.#22:19 Dt 4:2; 12:32; Prov 30:6
20He who gives solemn edut to these things says, “Ken! I am coming bahlt (soon)!” Omein. Come Adoneinu Yehoshua!
21The Chen v'Chesed Hashem of Adoneinu Yehoshua be with all. Omein.

Revelation 22
22
1 #
Ezek 47.1; Zech 14.8 The angel also showed me the river of the water of life, sparkling like crystal, and coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2#Gen 2.9; Ezek 47.12and flowing down the middle of the city's street. On each side of the river was the tree of life, which bears fruit twelve times a year, once each month; and its leaves are for the healing of the nations. 3#Zech 14.11Nothing that is under God's curse will be found in the city.
The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him. 4They will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads. 5#Is 60.19; Dan 7.18There shall be no more night, and they will not need lamps or sunlight, because the Lord God will be their light, and they will rule as kings for ever and ever.
The Coming of Jesus
6Then the angel said to me, “These words are true and can be trusted. And the Lord God, who gives his Spirit to the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must happen very soon.”
7 “Listen!” says Jesus. “I am coming soon! Happy are those who obey the prophetic words in this book!”
8I, John, have heard and seen all these things. And when I finished hearing and seeing them, I fell down at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things, and I was about to worship him. 9But he said to me, “Don't do it! I am a servant together with you and with your brothers the prophets and with all those who obey the words in this book. Worship God!” 10And he said to me, “Do not keep the prophetic words of this book a secret, because the time is near when all this will happen. 11#Dan 12.10Whoever is evil must go on doing evil, and whoever is filthy must go on being filthy; whoever is good must go on doing good, and whoever is holy must go on being holy.”
12 #
Is 40.10; 62.11; Ps 28.4; Jer 17.10 “Listen!” says Jesus. “I am coming soon! I will bring my rewards with me, to give to each one according to what he has done. 13#Rev 1.8, 17; 2.8; Is 44.6; 48.12I am the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
14 #
Gen 2.9; 3.22 Happy are those who wash their robes clean and so have the right to eat the fruit from the tree of life and to go through the gates into the city. 15But outside the city are the perverts and those who practise magic, the immoral and the murderers, those who worship idols and those who are liars both in words and deeds.
16 #
Is 11.1, 10 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to announce these things to you in the churches. I am descended from the family of David; I am the bright morning star.”
17 #
Is 55.1
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!”
Everyone who hears this must also say, “Come!”
Come, whoever is thirsty; accept the water of life as a gift, whoever wants it.
Conclusion
18 #
Deut 4.2; 12.32 I, John, solemnly warn everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: if anyone adds anything to them, God will add to his or her punishment the plagues described in this book. 19And if anyone takes anything away from the prophetic words of this book, God will take away from them their share of the fruit of the tree of life and of the Holy City, which are described in this book.
20He who gives his testimony to all this says, “Yes indeed! I am coming soon!”
So be it. Come, Lord Jesus!
21May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone.#22.21 everyone; some manuscripts have God's people; others have all God's people.
