(Revelation 22:6-7) And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.
7 “And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book.”
Today's takeaway: blessed is the one who believes, and they will receive glorified bodies (washed robes), and enter the New Jerusalem in heaven, and eat from the tree of life.
Remember the two trees in the garden of Eden? After Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, God banned them from the garden. This was to protect them so they would not eat from the tree of life while they were still in the state of sin - causing them to live eternally in that state of death and separation from God. Jesus wants us to eat from the tree of life - as redeemed people without sin - to enjoy eternal life in perfection.
Jesus also offers His living water to everyone as a gift. The one who does not take His free gift will have no place in heaven...
(Revelation 22:14-17) Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost...”
