Revelation 22

Revelation 22 – Life Flows from the Lamb

The final chapter of Revelation is not about escaping the world, it’s about the life of Jesus flowing into it. The river of life isn’t just future, it is the Spirit we receive now. The Tree of Life is Jesus Himself, and His fruit heals the nations.

There is no more curse, because the throne of God now reigns in us. The Lamb’s name is written on our foreheads, we are marked by His identity. There is no night, because the Lamb is our Light.

Revelation ends as it began: with Jesus in the center. The Spirit and the Bride say “Come” , not just for Him to return, but for all to enter into what He already finished.

Chapter 22 — Jesus and Bride

Revelation 22 brings the vision to its glorious climax with the river of life, the tree of life, and the open invitation to all who thirst. The finished work of Jesus is the source of eternal blessing, His cross has opened paradise and restored access to the presence and life of God. The Bride’s identity is now fully unveiled: she is invited to drink freely, to reign forever, and to dwell in the unhindered presence of her Bridegroom. The defeat of false religion, death, and curse is final; nothing that defiles can enter, and only those written in the Lamb’s Book of Life remain. The story ends with the Spirit and the Bride together calling, “Come,” extending grace to the ends of the earth.

Revelation 22:1

1.Jesus the River of Life!

1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

"Throne" / "He that sitteth on the throne"

Rev 3:21 – Jesus promises the overcomers to sit with Him on His throne.

Rev 4:2, 5:1, 6:16, 7:15, 20:11, 22:1 – Throne becomes central to heavenly scenes.

The promise to reign with Christ is fulfilled in the vision.

Jesus is the only source of life. This verse is not just a reference to eternal, immortal life after physical death, but also to the truth that from before your birth, Jesus was already the source of life. Only He can be your life and give you eternal existence. Don’t interpret this verse merely as a beautiful river in “heaven” that gives life in paradise someday. This very life can be accessed now. Sometimes, I think the broken and lost, those who don’t know God at all, understand this better than people who have been indoctrinated by religion. The desperate often see their need more clearly than the comfortable.

a pure river

This River of Life is the Holy Spirit, flowing freely from God and the Lamb (John 7:38–39). The throne is now spiritual, Jesus reigns in our hearts and in His Body (Col. 1:18). The river is clear,  nothing hidden, no mixture. Pure grace, pure truth, no more law-based system.

The “River of Life” is Jesus Himself — Not Merely a Heavenly Scene
This verse is often interpreted as a beautiful image of paradise, but the Spirit reveals more. This river is not merely symbolic of eternal life after death, it is Jesus Himself, the source of all true life both now and forever. He is the water of life flowing directly from the throne of God and of the Lamb, a throne not far off, but present within the believer (John 7:38, Col. 1:27).

The Throne Revealed — Union with Jesus in Reign and Rest
The “throne” that appears here is the same throne Jesus invites the overcomers to share (Rev. 3:21). This reveals not only Jesus lordship but our union with Him in His resurrection life. This river flows from finished authority, from the One who has already overcome.

Eternal Life Is Not Post-Death — It’s Jesus in You
Jesus is not just preparing a life for us after death, He is life (John 14:6). This river flows “clear as crystal,” because there is no mixture in Jesus, no law, no performance, no shadow. The source is pure. The water is living. And it is accessible now to those who believe. This is why even those far from religious knowledge, the broken, the lost, often grasp the thirst better than those who are numbed by dead works.

John 7:38 – “He that believeth on me... out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

Psalm 36:9 – “For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light.”

Isaiah 12:3 – “Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.”

Revelation 3:21 – “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne...”

Revelation 22:1 is not merely a promise of future bliss, but a prophetic unveiling of the ever-present, finished reality of life in Jesus. This river flows from the place of eternal authority, from the Lamb who was slain and is now enthroned. It speaks of an ongoing, present communion with God, made available through the cross, not through human effort. The life it offers is not postponed until death, it begins the moment one drinks of Jesus by faith. Those indoctrinated by religious duty often miss this. But the broken, the desperate, the thirsty,  they understand it well. They see the river. They come to drink. They find what religion never gave them: Jesus Himself, flowing as life.

Revelation 22:2

2.Jesus the Tree of Life!

 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

"Paradise of God"

Rev 2:7 – Overcomer eats from the tree of life in God’s paradise.

Rev 22:2, 14 – Tree of life appears again by the river in the New Jerusalem.

Fulfillment of eternal life and restored access to God.

The Tree of Life is Jesus Himself (John 15:5, Prov. 3:18) He is the life that was once guarded (Gen. 3:24), but now fully available.
Twelve fruits = spiritual fullness and constant nourishment (Gal. 5:22–23). The leaves healing the nations = the Gospel restoring humanity, breaking down division (Isa. 53:5, Eph. 2:13–18). The tree Adam was barred from is now open to all in Jesus, this is resurrection life now available.

This scripture speaks of Jesus as the way and the source of life. His life is constant, it sustains always and never ends. In Him, you lack nothing. He is not only the river but also the Tree of Life, offering spiritual nourishment, fruitfulness, and healing. The life that flows from and through Him brings healing to a broken world. He doesn’t just offer restoration, He is restoration. His presence is the remedy for the soul and the nations.

The Tree of Life 

Jesus Himself
The Tree of Life, appearing again from Eden (Genesis 2:9), is not simply symbolic of something believers receive. It is Jesus Himself, the embodiment of divine life and fullness (John 15:1, Colossians 3:4). The fact that it grows on both sides of the river shows His life is accessible to all, flowing through every part of God’s Kingdom.

“Twelve fruits” 

Fullness, Variety, and Perfection
The twelve fruits correspond to divine government and spiritual completeness (as with the 12 tribes, 12 apostles). Jesus life provides every kind of nourishment for every season. Each month new fruit appears, because the supply never ends.

“Leaves for the healing of the nations”

His life brings true healing now
This is not merely future or poetic. It means Jesus life is actively healing broken hearts, broken systems, and broken identities now. The Church, as the Body of Christ, becomes the visible manifestation of that healing presence in the world (2 Corinthians 5:19–20). The “nations” are not just geopolitical, they are people groups, cultures, and spiritual conditions.

Genesis 2:9  “...the tree of life also in the midst of the garden...”

John 15:5  “I am the vine, ye are the branches...”

Colossians 3:4  “When Christ, who is our life, shall appear...”

Revelation 2:7  “...to him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life...”

Ezekiel 47:12  “...the leaf thereof for medicine...”

2 Corinthians 5:18–20  “...God... hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation.”

Revelation 22:2 reveals Jesus not only as the source of life but also as the substance of healing, fruitfulness, and restoration. He is both the river and the tree. His life produces continual fruit, every month, every season, in every need. His leaves, His presence, His Word, His Spirit, bring healing to the nations, not as a future concept, but as a present reality. The nations are healed not by policy or religion, but by the Person of Jesus.

Revelation 22:3

3. Jesus Broke the Curse!

3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

The curse from Eden (Gen. 3:17) is reversed in Jesus (Gal. 3:13). No more separation, shame, or toil to please God.
The law and sin system is ended (Rom. 7:6). We are now under grace.

This verse is not describing a far-off location, but a spiritual state, a reality experienced in the spirit realm. It reveals the union between God and His people, the Bride. The throne of God and of the Lamb is not just in heaven, it is within the Bride. This is a picture of oneness between Jesus (the Husband) and His Church (the Wife). His throne reigns in us, and from that place of indwelling authority, we are able to serve Him in truth. Serving is not slavery, it’s union and faithfulness in love. From His throne within, life flows outward.

“No more curse” 

Complete redemption through the Lamb
This speaks of the finished work of the Cross. Jesus bore the curse (Galatians 3:13), and now in the new creation,  the spiritual realm of those in Him, the curse is no longer present. The law brought the curse; Jesus removed it. What remains is not judgment, but union and life.

The Throne

God's rule within His Bride
“The throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it” does not refer to geography, but to indwelling presence. This aligns with Revelation 3:21, where overcomers sit with Christ in His throne, showing intimacy and shared authority. It fulfills John 14:23, where the Father and Son make their home in us.

“His servants shall serve Him” 

The Bride’s faithfulness to her Husband
This service is not religious duty, it is covenant devotion, like a wife to her husband. In the spirit, we serve not from fear but from union, as a people who reign with Christ inwardly (Romans 5:17). To serve Him is to reflect His will on earth, to let His throne inside us govern our lives.

Galatians 3:13  “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law...”

Revelation 3:21  “To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne...”

John 14:23  “We will come unto him, and make our abode with him.”

Romans 5:17  “...they which receive abundance of grace... shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.”

1 Corinthians 6:17  “He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.”

Ephesians 5:31–32  “...the two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”

Revelation 22:3 unveils the spiritual reality of complete union between Jesus and His Church. The curse is removed because the Lamb bore it. His throne is not far off in space, it is planted within His people, ruling by grace and truth. This throne is the center of divine life, flowing from oneness,  not hierarchy. We serve Jesus not as distant subjects, but as His Bride, joined in purpose and love. This is the deepest fulfillment of worship: not what we do for Him, but who we are in Him.

Revelation 22:4

4. See His Glory – Know His Name!

4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

Under the old covenant, no one could see God’s face and live (Ex. 33:20). But now, in Christ, we behold Him unveiled (2 Cor. 3:18).
Name in the forehead = mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16), identity sealed in Him (Rev. 14:1) We live now face-to-face, not veiled or distant.

To see His face is to behold His glory, the very presence of God. Unlike Moses, who was not permitted to see God’s face under the old covenant (Exodus 33:20), we now behold Him fully in Christ. This is not a far-off hope, this is our present spiritual reality. We now carry our Husband’s name on our foreheads, representing His identity, mind, and ownership. We are no longer clothed in shame like Adam and Eve after the fall, but clothed in the likeness of the last Adam, Jesus Christ. He has restored us, not only to Eden’s original holiness, but to something greater: a union that can never be lost. The sword of sin and death that once hung over humanity has been forever removed by the finished work of the Cross.

“They shall see His face” 

Direct access to God's glory through Jesus
In the old covenant, no one could see God's face and live (Exodus 33:20). But in Christ, the veil is removed (2 Corinthians 3:18), and we now behold His glory with unveiled faces. This is not merely a future vision in heaven, but a present spiritual reality for those in union with Him.

“His name shall be in their foreheads”

Identity, mind, and spiritual likeness
The forehead represents the mind, will, and identity. To bear His name in the forehead is to walk in His mind (1 Corinthians 2:16) the mind of Christ. This also fulfills the imagery of being sealed by God (Revelation 7:3; 14:1). We are no longer marked by Adam’s fall, but by Jesus victory.

Better than Eden — A restored creation under a greater Adam
Adam and Eve were created in God’s image, but that image was marred by sin. Now, through the last Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45), we are restored to righteousness and true holiness (Ephesians 4:24). Jesus didn’t just return us to Eden, He brought us into unbreakable union with Himself. The sword that guarded Eden’s entrance (Genesis 3:24) is now lifted, because the Lamb has satisfied justice.

Exodus 33:20 –“Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.”

2 Corinthians 3:18  “But we all... beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord...”

Revelation 14:1  “...having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.”

1 Corinthians 2:16  “We have the mind of Christ.”

Ephesians 4:24  “...created in righteousness and true holiness.”

Genesis 3:24  “...a flaming sword... to keep the way of the tree of life.”

1 Corinthians 15:45 – “The last Adam was made a quickening spirit.”

Revelation 22:4 declares the intimacy and glory of those united with Jesus. No longer distant or hidden, God’s face is now visible, revealed in the person of Jesus. We see Him clearly, not through law or shadows, but in unveiled glory. His name in our foreheads shows our restored image, we think like Him, love like Him, live in Him. The separation from Eden is over. The sword is gone. We stand in perfect union with the Lamb, fully known, fully loved, fully alive.

Revelation 22:5

5.The Old Temple System Gone-New Temple Now!

5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 

We are enlightened by the Spirit, not dependent on earthly understanding or old systems (Heb. 10:1–2; John 8:12).  The Lord is our light, this is not future; it is now (Isa. 60:1–3).

We are now His temple, and He is the Light of the world. This verse reveals not just a heavenly vision but a present spiritual reality. His true light now shines in us, His temple, His Church, His Bride. The light is not from natural sources like candles or the sun; it is the indwelling presence of the Lord Himself. And He has not only given us that light, He has made us kings and priests to reign with Him forever. This is the fulfilled promise: reigning with Jesus in the Spirit, now and throughout eternity.

“No night there” 

No more darkness, confusion, or separation
Night often symbolizes ignorance, sin, or absence of God’s presence. In Jesus, night is over. The spiritual darkness that once covered the minds of humanity has been broken by the light of the Gospel (2 Corinthians 4:6).

“No candle, nor light of the sun” 

No external religion needed
Candles and sunlight represent natural or man-made light, the kind used in temples or rituals. But now, God Himself is our light. We don’t need substitutes. Jesus is the fulfillment (John 1:9; Isaiah 60:19–20). No religious system is needed to mediate this light, it is within us.

“The Lord God giveth them light” 

Jesus in us, the Light of Glory
This is the same light that shone at creation and was revealed in Jesus (John 8:12). The light is personal, it is Jesus Himself illuminating our hearts. His light guides, sustains, and transforms us from within.

 “They shall reign forever and ever”

Eternal co-reign with Jesus
This reigning is not postponed until the afterlife. We were made kings and priests in Jesus now (Revelation 1:6, Romans 5:17). Our reign is spiritual, seated in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6), ruling through grace, intercession, and truth.

John 8:12  “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness...”

Matthew 5:14  “Ye are the light of the world...”

2 Corinthians 4:6  “God... hath shined in our hearts...”

Isaiah 60:19–20  “The Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light...”

Revelation 1:6  “And hath made us kings and priests unto God...”

Romans 5:17  “...they which receive abundance of grace... shall reign in life...”

Ephesians 2:6  “...raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places...”

Revelation 22:5 is a declaration of spiritual light and reigning life. There is no more night, because Jesust, the true Light has come. No artificial light, no temple lamps, no sun is needed. He is the source and sustainer of our inner life. And He does not keep this glory to Himself, He gives it to His Bride. The Church is lit by His presence, ruled by His Spirit, and seated with Him in dominion. We reign now in the Spirit and forever in union. The light shines not only for us, it shines from within us.

Revelation 22:6

6. The Prophetic is Fulfilled!

6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

This Revelation is not fantasy or distant speculation, it is faithful, present spiritual truth, confirmed by the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is revealing that the prophetic message spoken by the prophets is now being fulfilled, it is truly at hand. The Cross stands as the center and symbol of atonement, where all prophetic threads converge. John is in the Spirit, not bound to a linear timeline. He is being shown the full picture, the eternal plan of God in action, not merely a sequence of future events. Revelation must be read as spiritual prophecy, not as natural history or a carnal timeline. The angel (messenger of God) is revealing these things to God's servants, those who walk in the Spirit and have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying.

“These sayings are faithful and true” 

Spirit-revealed truth
The angel affirms that what John sees is trustworthy. These visions are not wild imagination or speculation. They are Spirit-anchored truths, deeply rooted in the Gospel and the prophetic voice of the Old Testament, fulfilled in Jesus (2 Corinthians 1:20).

“The Lord God of the holy prophets”

The same God who spoke before the cross
This links the visions John receives to the prophets of old. What they saw in types and shadows, John sees unveiled through the lens of Jesus crucified and risen. Revelation is not a new idea, it is the unveiling of what was always hidden in the Scriptures (Luke 24:27).

“To show His servants” 

The Spirit reveals to the humble, not the religious elite
Just as Jesus revealed the Kingdom to babes and not the wise (Luke 10:21), the message of Revelation is given to servants, those yielded to Jesus. These are not secret codes for scholars, but spiritual visions for worshipers.

“Shortly be done” 

Spiritually fulfilled in the work of the Cross
The phrase does not always point to a physical timeline but to the urgency and immediacy of what the Spirit is revealing (see Revelation 1:1). “Shortly” refers to the unfolding of the eternal plan, especially the Cross and resurrection, which are the decisive moments of all redemptive history.

2 Corinthians 1:20  “All the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen...”

Luke 24:27  “...beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them... concerning himself.”

Revelation 1:1  “...things which must shortly come to pass...”

Luke 10:21  “Thou hast hid these things from the wise... and revealed them unto babes.”

1 Peter 1:10–11  “Of which salvation the prophets have enquired... when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ...”

John 16:13–14 “...He shall show you things to come. He shall glorify me...”

Revelation 22:6 reminds us that all Scripture is converging on Jesus. What the prophets declared in mystery is fulfilled in the atoning work of the Lamb. John is not writing from a linear timeline but from within the Spirit, where past, present, and future converge into one eternal plan. This is not about prediction, it is about revelation. God is showing His servants that everything spoken is coming to pass, not just in the future, but in the Cross, the Resurrection, and the Spirit now at work in the Church. To interpret Revelation rightly is to see Jesus in all and understand it spiritually, not carnally.

Revelation 22:7

7. Keep Me – Be Blessed!

7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

"I will come quickly" / “I come as a thief”

Rev 2:5, 2:16; 3:3, 3:11 – Jesus warns of sudden return or judgment.

Rev 16:15; 22:7, 12, 20 – “Behold, I come quickly.”

Emphasizes the spiritual nearness of His judgment, not only future physical events.

“Come quickly” is not about physical return, but His coming in power, judgment, and presence through His Word and Spirit (John 14:18, Matt. 16:28). To keep the sayings is to remain in His truth, walk in grace, and resist deception. Judgment has come; all is fulfilled as mentioned in verse 6 “this is why the prophets are mentioned” and “It is finished!” has become the pinnacle point of the Gospel. If you see this, you see Jesus Revelation!

“Behold, I come quickly” 

Jesus immediate spiritual presence and victory
This declaration is not merely about a future physical return but a spiritual reality inaugurated at the Cross and Resurrection. Jesus “comes quickly” by His Spirit, making His redemptive work present to all who believe (Revelation 1:7, Hebrews 10:12–13).

“Blessed is he that keepeth the sayings” 

Blessing in obedience and faithfulness
Keeping the sayings means living in alignment with the revealed truth of Jesus finished work and the prophetic word. It is a call to spiritual vigilance and faithfulness, not just intellectual agreement (James 1:22).

“Of the prophecy of this book” 

 The entire revelation centers on Jesus triumph
This prophecy is not a disconnected set of future predictions but a unified spiritual unveiling of Jesus as the Lamb who has conquered sin, death, and Satan. The “book” points to the full Gospel story, fulfilled in the Cross and Resurrection.

Judgment is already fulfilled
This verse echoes the fulfillment declared in verse 6: the prophetic timeline, the final stage " highest point" at Jesus atoning sacrifice. Judgment has come in the person of Jesus, and the prophetic plan is accomplished. The phrase “It is finished!” (John 19:30) is the Gospel’s pinnacle.

Revelation 1:7  “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him...”

John 19:30  “It is finished.”

Hebrews 10:12–13  “But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins... sat down on the right hand of God... Waiting till his enemies be made his footstool.”

James 1:22  “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only...”

1 John 2:3–5  “Hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.”

2 Timothy 4:8  “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness...”

Revelation 22:7 announces the nearness and reality of Jesus coming, not just a future event, but a spiritual “coming quickly” rooted in His finished work on the Cross. Those who keep the prophetic sayings of this book are truly blessed because they embrace and live out the Gospel’s victorious message. Judgment has already been executed in Jesus, the Lamb, marking the completion of prophetic history. Recognizing this reveals the heart of Revelation: Jesus’ triumphant Revelation is alive now, calling believers to faithful obedience and hope.

Revelation 22:8

8. Overwhelmed!

8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

John is overwhelmed by the spiritual vision of the atonement, the Cross, and the judgment of Jesus, true life and freedom united in One God. The Trinity now has a Bride!

John’s reaction of worship shows the overwhelming glory of the revelation
The vision is so powerful and holy that John naturally falls down in worship, recognizing the divine origin and authority of the message. This highlights the weight and majesty of the spiritual truths revealed (Revelation 19:10).

John worships the angel’s feet
John’s worship is directed toward the messenger revealing God’s truth, which can be a natural response to God’s glory shining through His servants. However, Holy Spirit corrects John ( see  Verse 16 - "I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify") , emphasizing worship belongs to God alone (Revelation 22:9), teaching us proper reverence (Exodus 20:3–5). Matthew 4:10  “Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”

The vision reveals the fullness of Jesus atoning work and judgment
John’s overwhelming response reflects the reality that the Cross and judgment bring true life and freedom. The Trinity is revealed in unity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and now the Bride, the Church, is united with God in eternal relationship (Ephesians 5:25–27).

Spiritual vision as transformative and worship-provoking
True revelation from the Spirit leads believers into worship and awe, not confusion or fear. This is evidence of encountering the living God through Jesus finished work (Psalm 95:6).

Revelation 19:10  “I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant...”

Revelation 22:9  “See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant... worship God.”

Exodus 20:3–5  “Thou shalt have no other gods before me... Thou shalt not bow down to them...”

Ephesians 5:25–27  “Christ also loved the church... that he might present it to himself a glorious church...”

Psalm 95:6  “O come, let us worship and bow down...”

John 4:23–24  “The true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth...”

Selah

John’s response in Revelation 22:8 reveals the overwhelming glory and power of the spiritual vision he has received, a vision centered on Jesus atoning sacrifice and victorious judgment. The sight moves him to worship, showing the transforming power of encountering God’s truth. The Trinity’s eternal love is now extended through the Bride, the Church, united to God by the Spirit. This moment reminds us that true spiritual revelation calls us to worship God alone, recognizing His holiness and grace revealed in Jesus.

Revelation 22:9

9. Holy Spirit says No “Lets Worship Him!”

9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

We are one now with God, we worship only God in Spirit! We will see that the Holy Spirit always directs honor to the Son and the Father.

“See thou do it not” 

Worship belongs to God alone
John, overwhelmed by the revelation, falls down in awe, but Holy Spirit corrects him immediately. Even Holy Spirit do not receive worship, only God does. This affirms pure worship in Spirit and truth (John 4:23–24).

You see that when it comes to the Trinity it has nothing to do with rank, but truth. The Trinity "God in One" manifest Truth in ways to reveal Truth. God Spirit honors The Son, The Son the Spirit and The Spirit the Son and The Son the Father. The reason for this is they represent a specific function of Life and Truth, a constant cycle of revealing One to another to another to another. In this we find eternal truth revealed and manifested in another way. I know this is deep and hard to understand, but I pray He reveal this Devine revelation to you .The most amazing thing of it all, The Trinity "One Spirit- different in manifestation and revealing's" include us the Bride within Them and They in us! Let us look at some scriptures:

Worship in Spirit and in Truth

John 4:23–24  "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth..." True worship is directed to God alone, and it must be spirit-birthed and truth-rooted, not emotional awe or misplaced reverence.

The Trinity: Not Rank, But Truth

The relationship within the Trinity isn’t based on rank or hierarchy but on the unbroken unity of Truth and divine love. Each Person of the Godhead glorifies and reveals the other in perfect honor:

The Spirit glorifies the Son:
“He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
  John 16:14

The Son glorifies the Father:
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work…”
John 17:4
“That the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
John 14:13

The Father glorifies the Son:
“Father, glorify thy name... I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.”
John 12:28

The Spirit is sent by both the Father and the Son:
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father...”
John 15:26

This divine fellowship is a cycle of revealed Truth, where the One God manifests His nature through Three Persons, never in contradiction but in harmonious unveiling of His own essence.

The Bride Included in the Divine Fellowship

“That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us...”
John 17:21

“And I will dwell in them, and walk in them...”
2 Corinthians 6:16

"Show Us the Father"

 Colossians 2:9 

“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” 

John 14:8–10 

"Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. And how sayest thou then, "Shew us the Father"? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, He doeth the works." Do you see that we tend to look at the manifested side of God and not in spirit, the human mind tend to go to default trying to understand this natural, but God is Spirit and in a spiritual realm. This is the same reason we should not look at man natural but know them by spirit, in this we find not the broken side of man but the glorious potential that is within each and every one of us. This reminds me of the saying "When others saw a shepherd boy, God saw a king!" 2 Corinthians 5:16  "Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Jesus after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more." or NLT "“So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Jesus merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now!” 

The most astonishing truth is this: the Bride (the Church) is invited into this eternal communion, God in us, and we in Him. This isn't mystical fluff, it’s the gospel reality purchased by the blood of Jesus. Worship belongs only to God, and even the most glorious messengers of heaven redirect it to Him. The Trinity is not about levels of power, but the unveiling of eternal Truth through mutual glorification. And in this divine communion, we are included, by grace, to dwell in God and God in us.

“I am thy fellow servant”

Unity in the Spirit across all time
Holy Spirit identifies with John, the prophets, and all believers who keep the sayings of this book. There is spiritual unity between heavenly beings, Old Testament prophets, and New Covenant saints. All serve the same God and bear the same testimony (Revelation 19:10).

“Keep the sayings of this book”

Obedience flows from revelation
True servants are marked by reverence for the words of prophecy. The keeping of these sayings isn’t legalism but devotion to the Spirit’s voice revealed in Jesus (John 14:23). Do you see? Here John says "Jesus revealed is Word or Revelation revealed" when we keep God's Word we keep His Son for His Son is the Word!

“Worship God”

The Spirit glorifies the Father and the Son
Worship is directed to Truth and revelation, what the Word "Jesus" say or reveal is what must be Worshiped. The Holy Spirit never draws attention to Himself but always glorifies Christ and points to the Father (John 16:13–14).Let see some scripture proof: Jesus is the Truth, The Spirit glorifies Jesus and not Himself, The Godhead (Father, Son, Spirit) honors and reveals Truth, because They are Truth

 Jesus is the Truth

John 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 1:14   And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us... full of grace and truth.

The Holy Spirit Glorifies Christ, Not Himself

John 16:13–14  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak... He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

The Father is Truth

John 17:17  Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Deuteronomy 32:4  He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

The Spirit is Truth

1 John 5:6  ...And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

Selah

Jesus is Truth revealed in flesh (John 14:6)

The Father is the Source of all Truth (John 17:17)

The Spirit is Truth and reveals the Son (1 John 5:6, John 16:13–14)

The Trinity is united in manifesting and honoring Truth, not a matter of rank, but revelation and function. This is why the character of Satan is lies and deception, it is the complete opposite of who God is and what God "Trinity" stands for! Satan's nature is deception, which is the direct opposite of God, who is Truth. This contrast is at the heart of understanding the spiritual battle between light and darkness, truth and lies, Jesus and the accuser.

Satan is the Father of Lies

John 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil... He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The Godhead Is Truth

Jesus – “I am the Truth” (John 14:6)

The Father – “Thy Word is Truth” (John 17:17)

The Spirit – “The Spirit is Truth” (1 John 5:6)

Satan Deceives the Whole World

Revelation 12:9   And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world...

God Cannot Lie

Titus 1:2  In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.

Truth Sets Us Free and Lies Bind

John 8:32   And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

The Trinity (Father, Son, Spirit) is the eternal manifestation of Truth, Life, and Light. Satan is the opposite: lies, death, and darkness. This sharp divide is why Jesus said, "He that is of God heareth God's words..." (John 8:47)

John 4:23–24  “The true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth.”

Revelation 19:10  “I am thy fellow servant... worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

John 14:23  “If a man love me, he will keep my words...”

John 16:13–14  “He shall not speak of himself... He shall glorify me.”

Matthew 4:10  “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”

Revelation 22:9 emphasizes the absolute centrality of God in worship. John is corrected when he attempts to bow before Holy Spirit, reminding us that He comes to testify and reveal Jesus. All true worship, guided by the Holy Spirit, honors the Son and the Father alone. The unity among the prophets, apostles, and saints points us to one shared purpose: to keep the words of Jesus and worship God in Spirit and in truth.

Revelation 22:10

10. No More Holding Back- Let it all out!

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

Unlike Daniel (Dan. 12:4), this message is not sealed, it is for the present time. “The time is at hand”  The New Covenant era has dawned. Jesus has come, died, risen, and reigns. We are one now and we worship only God in Spirit! We see that the Holy Spirit always refers honor to the Son and the Father.

No More Sealing — The Message Is Open and Urgent
Unlike Daniel 12:4, where the prophecy was sealed until the end, John is told not to seal the Revelation. This means it applies to the early church and beyond, it is a present-tense spiritual unveiling. “The time is at hand” signifies the inauguration of the New Covenant, established by Jesus death and resurrection (see Hebrews 9:26, Galatians 4:4–6).

Jesus Has Come — The Kingdom Is Now Open
The finished work of Jesus tore the veil and made access to God possible (see Matthew 27:51). The mystery hidden through the ages is now revealed (Colossians 1:26–27). Revelation is not a future horror tale, it is a spiritual revealing of Jesus as Victor and King.

True Worship — No Worship of Angels or Saints
Throughout Revelation (especially 22:8–9), we see that not even angels accept worship. The Holy Spirit, though fully God, never draws attention to Himself, but always glorifies the Son and the Father (John 16:13–14). Worship is reserved for God alone, and that worship is now done in Spirit and Truth (John 4:23–24).

Daniel 12:4   “But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end…” Unlike Daniel, Revelation is not sealed because the time has come through Jesus.

Hebrews 1:1–2  “God… hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son…”

Colossians 1:26–27  “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages… now made manifest to his saints… Christ in you, the hope of glory.”

John 16:13–14  “…he shall not speak of himself… He shall glorify me…”  The Spirit reveals Jesus, not Himself.

John 4:23–24  “The hour cometh, and now is… when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth…”

Matthew 27:51  “And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom…” The barrier between God and man is removed, worship is open, spiritual, and direct.

Revelation 22:10 boldly declares: This is not a hidden mystery anymore, Jesus has been revealed, the time is now, the veil is torn. Through the Spirit, we worship the Father and the Son, not religious systems, rituals, or even spiritual messengers. This is the glory of the unsealed Revelation, Jesus, fully victorious, fully known, and worshiped in Spirit and Truth.

Revelation 22:11

11. The Choice is Yours!

11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Judgment is set, those who reject grace remain in their choice (John 3:18–19). God allows hearts to follow what they’ve chosen; this reveals the free will of love and rejection. The Holy Spirit is stating that the door is open now and the choice is completely free, each person holds their own decision. You can enter life if you don’t have it; if you do have life in Him, great; and if you live holy in Him, stay that way!

The door of choice remains open until the end
This verse emphasizes personal responsibility and freedom. God respects the decisions each individual makes regarding righteousness and holiness. There is no forced transformation; the invitation to life remains open (Deuteronomy 30:19).

Let him be” reflects the reality of final separation
The phrase “let him be” is not a statement of God’s approval of injustice or filthiness but a declaration that those who persist in rebellion choose their own destiny, just as those who walk in righteousness do likewise.

Righteousness and holiness are active, ongoing states
Those who are righteous and holy are encouraged to continue in that way, reflecting the fruit of the Spirit and the perseverance of faith (Philippians 2:12–13).

This highlights God’s patient love and respect for free will
God invites all to life but allows the freedom to reject or receive Him. The door is open, but the choice is personal and decisive (Revelation 3:20).

Deuteronomy 30:19  “I have set before thee life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life...”

Philippians 2:12–13  “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling... for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”

Revelation 3:20  “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock...”

Galatians 5:22–23  “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering...”

John 10:27–28  “My sheep hear my voice... and they shall never perish...”

Revelation 22:11 shows that God honors human freedom in choosing righteousness or rebellion. The Holy Spirit declares the door of salvation is open now, inviting all to enter life in Jesus. Yet, the choice remains with each individual: to continue in injustice or to walk in righteousness and holiness. Those who have life in Him are encouraged to persevere faithfully, while those who reject Him face the reality of their decision. This verse is a powerful reminder of God’s respect for free will combined with His patient invitation to eternal life.

Revelation 22:12

12. I will Use You and Reward you!

12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

"I will come quickly" / “I come as a thief”

Rev 2:5, 2:16; 3:3, 3:11 – Jesus warns of sudden return or judgment.

Rev 16:15; 22:7, 12, 20 – “Behold, I come quickly.”

Emphasizes the spiritual nearness of His judgment, not only future physical events.

Again, not delayed: His “coming” is spiritual, redemptive, and personal. The “reward” is Himself (Gen. 15:1), and the fruit of righteousness (Rev. 3:21, 2 Tim. 4:8). The door has a tremendous impact on a person’s life once you enter it! Judgment comes with grace, but judgment can be severe if you reject the open door set before each and every person.

“I come quickly” 

Jesus spiritual presence and reigning authority
Jesus’ coming “quickly” is understood as the immediate and ongoing spiritual reality established through His Cross and Resurrection. He reigns now and is actively rewarding His followers (Hebrews 10:12–13).

“My reward is with me” 

God’s grace and justice in action
The reward represents the blessings and inheritance given to those who faithfully persevere. This includes eternal life, peace, and fellowship with God, offered freely by grace but also measured by works of faith (2 Corinthians 5:10).

“To give every man according as his work shall be”

judgment balanced with mercy
God’s judgment respects human choices and deeds, rewarding obedience and faithfulness, while also extending grace. Judgment is just and fair, with mercy available to those who accept Jesus finished work (Romans 2:6–11).

The “door” 

symbolizes the opportunity to enter into this relationship
Accepting the open door of salvation impacts a person’s eternal destiny. Rejecting it results in facing judgment without the shelter of grace (Revelation 3:20, Matthew 7:13–14).

Hebrews 10:12–13  “But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins... sat down on the right hand of God...”

2 Corinthians 5:10  “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Jesus; that every one may receive according to that he hath done...”

Romans 2:6–11  “Who will render to every man according to his deeds...”

Revelation 3:20  “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock...”

Matthew 7:13–14  “Enter ye in at the strait gate...”

Revelation 22:12 declares the certainty of Jesus atonement and His righteous judgment, paired with grace. The open door of salvation leads to a transformed life with eternal reward for those who persevere in faith and obedience. Judgment will come to all  “according as his work shall be,” revealing the profound impact of the choice to enter or reject the door God sets before every person. This verse calls believers to faithful endurance, knowing Jesus reigns now and will bring justice with mercy.

Revelation 22:13

13. Jesus Start to End!

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Jesus is stating that there is no way around this, He is the start and the end of all. Life begins with Him and ends with Him. Choose Life!

“Alpha and Omega” 

Jesus as the eternal God
These first and last letters of the Greek alphabet symbolize that Jesus is eternal, encompassing all time from beginning to end. He is sovereign over all creation (Isaiah 44:6).

“The beginning and the end” 

Source and fulfillment of life
Jesus is the origin of all things and the goal toward which all creation moves. Life truly begins in Him and finds its completion in Him (Colossians 1:16–17).

“The first and the last” 

Jesus preeminence and eternal nature
Jesus is preeminent above all and remains forever. No one comes before or after Him in authority or existence (Revelation 1:17, John 1:1).

Call to choose life by acknowledging Jesus sovereignty
Understanding Jesus as the Alpha and Omega invites us to accept Him as Lord over our lives, choosing the life He offers that lasts forever (Deuteronomy 30:19).

Isaiah 44:6  “Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer... I am the first, and I am the last...”

Colossians 1:16–17  “By him were all things created... and by him all things consist.”

Revelation 1:17  “I am the first and the last.”

John 1:1  “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

Deuteronomy 30:19  “I have set before thee life and death... choose life...”

Revelation 22:13 presents Jesus as the eternal Alpha and Omega, the eternal God who is the beginning and the end of all things. He alone is the source and fulfillment of life. This powerful declaration leaves no alternative: life begins and ends with Jesus. Recognizing His eternal sovereignty is the foundation for choosing life and living in relationship with Him.

Revelation 22:14

14. Obedience lead to Life and Life Eternal!

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

"Paradise of God"

Rev 2:7 – Overcomer eats from the tree of life in God’s paradise.

Rev 22:2, 14 – Tree of life appears again by the river in the New Jerusalem.

Fulfillment of eternal life and restored access to God.

Better translated (and in Greek manuscripts): “Blessed are those who wash their robes” (Rev. 7:14). This speaks of salvation by grace, not law. Access to the Tree of Life is by the blood of the Lamb. We can have full access to what God’s Spirit and His Kingdom represent from the very moment we choose to enter the open door. It is a spiritual state, not a future achievement or access through natural death. He is saying, “Be faithful to Me,” and obedience is what He desires. This life in Me can be accessed now, and that life in Me makes “As it is in heaven, so on earth” a reality in your life at this very moment.

“Blessed are they that do his commandments” 

Obedience is the fruit of faith
True blessing is connected to living in obedience to God’s revealed will. This is not legalism but a response to grace and love, showing genuine relationship with Jesus (John 14:15).

“That they may have right to the tree of life” 

Access to eternal, abundant life now
The tree of life symbolizes God’s life-giving presence and eternal fellowship. This access is spiritual and present, not reserved only for the afterlife. Believers live in this life through union with Jesus (John 6:53–56).

“May enter in through the gates into the city” 

Entrance into God’s Kingdom now
The “city” represents the New Jerusalem "God Spirit in Us and we in Him" , the Kingdom of God. Entrance is granted through faith and obedience, a spiritual reality experienced in the believer’s life now (Hebrews 12:22–24).

Hebrews 12:22–24 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,  And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Luke 17:20–21  “The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. 

“As it is in heaven, so on earth” 

Kingdom living begins now
Obedience opens the door for God’s heavenly Kingdom to manifest on earth in the believer’s daily life. The spiritual reign of Jesus is a present reality, not just a future hope (Matthew 6:10).

John 14:15  “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

John 6:53–56  “Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.”

Hebrews 12:22–24  “Ye are come... to the city of the living God...”

Matthew 6:10 “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.”

Galatians 5:22–23  “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace...”

Revelation 22:14 shows that blessing and true life come from faithful obedience to God’s commandments,  a life lived in union with Jesus. This grants believers present access to the tree of life and entrance into the heavenly city, symbolizing the Kingdom of God manifesting now. The promise is that God’s Kingdom is not only a future reality but a present spiritual experience where “As it is in heaven, so on earth” becomes a living reality through faithfulness and obedience.

Revelation 22:15

15. The Old stay Outside!

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Outside are those who reject truth, false religion, hypocrisy, legalism. “Lie” = anything outside of Jesus and the Gospel of grace.

What is unholy and not in My nature does not have access to the heavenlies.

“For without are...” 

 Exclusion from the holy city
Those listed, dogs (symbolic of those outside God’s covenant), sorcerers, immoral people, murderers, idolaters, and liars, are excluded from the presence of God’s Kingdom. This represents the separation between holiness and sin (Ephesians 5:5–6).

These behaviors oppose God’s nature
Unholy lifestyles and deceit are fundamentally opposed to the character of God revealed in Jesus. They prevent intimate fellowship with God and access to the heavenlies (1 Corinthians 6:9–10).

Access to the heavenly city requires holiness
Entry into the New Jerusalem is reserved for those who reflect God’s holiness through faith and repentance. Those who persist in sin without repentance remain “without” (Hebrews 12:14).

God’s nature is pure, and only those aligned with Him enter His presence
God’s kingdom is a realm of truth, righteousness, and love. Those who embrace lies and sin cannot dwell in the eternal presence of God (Psalm 15:1–4).

maketh a lie

The nature of Satan, deception and lies, those that has the same nature and mind "666" This is a choice by free will given to God, if you reject His grace as atonement for sin then you choose eternal separation "Hell" from God! 

Ephesians 5:5–6  “For this ye know, that no whoremonger... hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ...”

1 Corinthians 6:9–10  “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?”

Hebrews 12:14  “Follow peace with all men, and holiness...”

Psalm 15:1–4  “Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? He that walketh uprightly...”

Galatians 5:19–21  “The works of the flesh are manifest...”

Revelation 22:15 declares that those who live in sin and falsehood, opposed to God’s holy nature, are excluded from the heavenly city and eternal fellowship with God. Holiness is the standard for entering God’s presence, and what is unholy cannot dwell in the realm of the Spirit. This verse calls believers to live in truth and purity, reflecting the character of Jesus to access the fullness of God’s Kingdom.

Revelation 22:16

16. Holy Spirit Testify – I am Son of Man – Son of God!

16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

"Morning Star"

Rev 2:28 – “I will give him the morning star.”

Rev 22:16 – Jesus declares, “I am... the bright and morning star.”

Jesus gives Himself as the eternal light to the overcomer.

Jesus is saying, I am eternal light and “I have sent the Holy Spirit” to reveal all this to you. I was born in the flesh through the line of David. “I am the Son of Man” and “Son of God.”

John 15:26   “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:”

John 16:13–14 “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.  He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”

 1 John 5:6 “This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.”

Revelation 2:28 “And I will give him the morning star.” This is part of Jesus' promise to the overcomers in the church at Thyatira. The “morning star” is a gift of Christ Himself, a symbol of light, hope, victory, and intimacy with Jesus.

2. Revelation 22:16 “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” Here, Jesus directly identifies Himself as “the bright and morning star.” This affirms that the morning star is not an angel or another being, but Jesus Himself, the One who rises with healing in His wings (see also Malachi 4:2 for symbolic parallel).

Isaiah 14:12 "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!"

“How art thou fallen from heaven”

Traditionally interpreted as the fall of Satan, but contextually, this is directed at the king of Babylon (Isaiah 14:4), a symbol of earthly pride and rebellion. You will find that the many lives depicted in the Bible are not merely stories of the past, but in some supernatural way, God wrote their lives as parallels to the salvation theme of Jesus. It is beyond me to fully comprehend how God accomplishes this, the impossible made possible: man, with free will, living his life as he chooses, yet at the same time, his personal story becomes a direct reflection of Jesus redemptive pattern.

A created being.

A broken relationship.

Sin impact and destruction.

The Cross of redemption.

The restoration of the broken relationship.

And the unification between us and God.

Truly an amazing supernatural miracle!

See Addendum- All things work together!

So what is Isaiah 14  about?
Symbolically, it reflects Jesus voluntary descent from heaven to earth, taking on flesh to fulfill redemption (John 6:38; Philippians 2:6–8). He "fell" not in rebellion, but in humility and obedience, becoming sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21).

“O Lucifer, son of the morning”

“Lucifer” means light-bearer (Latin) or shining one (Hebrew: helel ben shachar – “bright one, son of dawn”). Jesus is the true and only Morning Star (Revelation 22:16), the true bearer of light, rejected and crucified. The title here is misapplied in tradition to Satan, but when read spiritually, this verse mirrors how Jesus was treated like a criminal and cast down by men, though He was the Light of the world (John 1:9–11). “How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!”  Jesus appeared weak and defeated when He was crucified (Isaiah 53:2–3), but through that very act, He overthrew the powers of darkness and disarmed the rulers of the nations (Colossians 2:15). The irony here is powerful: the one “cut down” is actually the one who cut down Babylon, Jesus, the crucified King (Revelation 18:2). He is both source and fulfillment, Alpha and Omega. The Morning Star = The first light of the new day and His resurrection ended the night! (2 Pet. 1:19)

See Addendum- Satan Morning Star Fell Isaiah 14:12

Revelation 22:17

17. The Final Invitation!

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

The Spirit and the Church cry out for all to come, this is the Gospel invitation! Grace calls all who thirst to come freely (Isa. 55:1; John 4:14). No rituals, no law, just faith in the finished work of Jesus. God’s Spirit and the Bride both witness together to the world: come and drink of the water of life that will flow from your belly. We testify for Jesus, come to Him it is free!

“The Spirit and the bride say, Come” 

United invitation from heaven and earth
The Holy Spirit and the Church (the Bride) together extend an open call for all to come to Jesus. This shows the unity of God’s work, Spirit empowering the Church to invite the world (John 7:37–39).

“Let him that heareth say, Come” 

Every believer is called to invite others
Hearing the call means responding by inviting others to also come to Jesus. The call to salvation is to be shared widely, showing the Church’s role as a witness (Matthew 28:19–20).

“Let him that is athirst come” 

Desire for spiritual satisfaction
The “athirst” represent those longing for true life and fulfillment, emphasizing the spiritual hunger that only Jesus can satisfy (Isaiah 55:1).

“Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely” 

Salvation is a free gift
Salvation and eternal life are freely offered to all who choose to receive. There is no cost to the gift, only faith and acceptance are required (Ephesians 2:8–9).

John 7:37–39  “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.”

Matthew 28:19–20  “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations...”

Isaiah 55:1  “Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters...”

Ephesians 2:8–9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith...”

John 4:14  “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst...”

Revelation 22:17 is a powerful, united call from both the Holy Spirit and the Bride, the Church to all people everywhere: come and receive the water of life freely. This invitation highlights God’s grace and the Church’s role in testifying to Jesus life-giving power. It is an open offer of salvation to all who thirst for spiritual fulfillment, requiring only the willingness to receive freely what Jesus provides.

Revelation 22:18

18. Do Not Add or Remove!

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

God is stating that His testimony is true about this revelation given to John. This shows it is very important to understand this revelation in the right manner, or judgment comes if you say differently.

“I testify unto every man” 

Divine solemn warning
God Himself declares the seriousness of the revelation. This is not just human insight but a divine testimony to be received with reverence and obedience (Deuteronomy 4:2).

“If any man shall add unto these things”  

Warning against distorting the message
Adding to the prophecy means altering or misinterpreting the revelation given to John. This serves as a warning to avoid adding personal ideas that contradict the Spirit’s truth.

“God shall add unto him the plagues” 

Judgment for tampering with God’s word
God’s judgment is certain for those who distort His message. The “plagues” signify the consequences of spiritual deception and disobedience (Proverbs 30:5–6).

Importance of understanding Revelation rightly
This verse stresses the need for careful, Spirit-led interpretation of Revelation, respecting the symbolic, Jesus-centered meaning rather than imposing false or carnal views.

Deuteronomy 4:2  “Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you...”

Proverbs 30:5–6  “Every word of God is pure... Add thou not unto his words...”

Galatians 1:8  “Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel... let him be accursed.”

2 Timothy 3:16–17  “All scripture is given by inspiration of God...”

Revelation 22:19  “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book...”

Revelation 22:18 issues a solemn divine warning against altering or adding to the prophetic message revealed to John. God’s testimony is true and must be honored exactly as given. Misunderstanding or distorting this revelation brings serious judgment. This verse underscores the critical importance of interpreting Revelation with reverence, guided by the Holy Spirit, to grasp the fullness of Jesus finished work and eternal plan.

Revelation 22:19

19. Jesus the Book – The Only Revelation!

19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

18–19: Warning not to add or remove from this book.

This applies to all Scripture (Deut. 4:2), but especially this revelation of grace and Jesus finished work.

Adding = legalism, religion, fear-based teachings.
Taking away = denying Jesus victory, watering down the Gospel.

This reveals that this Revelation of the prophetic Spirit, Jesus Himself brings life and unity with Him. If you don’t believe His finished work, there is no life in you, and He is not found in you (“The City”).

“If any man shall take away from the words” 

Warning against removing or rejecting God’s truth
This verse warns against diminishing or denying the prophetic revelation of Jesus finished work. Rejecting any part of this truth is serious and has eternal consequences.

“God shall take away his part out of the book of life” 

Loss of eternal fellowship
The “book of life” symbolizes the record of those who belong to God and have eternal life. To have one’s name removed means separation from salvation and eternal blessing (Philippians 4:3).

“Out of the holy city” 

Exclusion from God’s presence and Kingdom
The “holy city” is the symbolic representation of God’s eternal dwelling place with His people. Removal from it implies spiritual death and alienation from God (Hebrews 12:22–23).

Revelation is the prophetic Spirit of Jesus revealing life
Jesus is the source of true life and unity with God. Rejecting His finished work means the life of God is not in you, and the unity symbolized by the city is lost (John 14:6).

Philippians 4:3  “Whose names are in the book of life.”

Hebrews 12:22–23  “Ye are come... to the city of the living God.”

John 14:6  “I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

Romans 6:23  “The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life.”

Revelation 3:5  “I will not blot out his name out of the book of life.”

Revelation 22:19 warns that removing or rejecting any part of the prophetic revelation, centered on Jesus and His finished work, results in losing one’s place in the book of life and exclusion from God’s holy city. This prophecy is the Spirit of Jesus Himself, bringing life and unity with God. To deny it is to forfeit true life and fellowship with God, highlighting the vital importance of fully embracing Jesus completed redemptive work.

Revelation 22:20

20. Reassurance it will be Quick!

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

"I will come quickly" / “I come as a thief”

Rev 2:5, 2:16; 3:3, 3:11 – Jesus warns of sudden return or judgment.

Rev 16:15; 22:7, 12, 20 – “Behold, I come quickly.”

Emphasizes the spiritual nearness of His judgment, not only future physical events.

He has come, and is coming again and again through the Spirit, in power, in grace, in truth, and ultimately in final consummation. This is the Church’s prayer: “Let Your kingdom come fully in me, in the world, in every heart.” Jesus is stating He is the door open; you must enter to see the revelation!

“He which testifieth these things” 

Jesus as the faithful witness
Jesus Himself confirms the truth of the entire revelation given to John. He is the ultimate source and guarantee of the prophecy (John 18:37).

“Surely I come quickly”

 The immediacy of Jesus spiritual presence
This is not just a future event but an ongoing reality, the quick coming of Jesus through His Spirit in the Church, empowering believers to live in His victory (Hebrews 10:12–13).

“Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus”

The Church’s eager anticipation
The response “Amen” means “so be it,” expressing agreement and longing for Jesus’s presence. The Church continually prays for Jesus to come in power and glory (1 Corinthians 16:22).

Jesus is the open door to revelation
Jesus is the “door” (John 10:9) through whom we enter into the fullness of God’s truth and revelation. To see and understand the prophecy, one must come through Him by faith.

John 18:37  “I am a king... to this end was I born...”

Hebrews 10:12–13  “But this man... sat down on the right hand of God...”

1 Corinthians 16:22  “If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema.”

John 10:9  “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved...”

Revelation 22:21  “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”

Revelation 22:20 concludes the prophecy with Jesus’ own affirmation of His coming and the Church’s heartfelt plea for His arrival. He is the open door through whom all true revelation is received. This verse invites believers to enter by faith, embracing the fullness of Jesus truth and eagerly anticipating His continual presence and ultimate return.

Revelation 22:21

21. All you Need is His Grace!

21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

The final word of Scripture is grace. Not fear. Not judgment. Grace has the final say. This is the message of Revelation and the entire Bible. Grace given for it is truly all by His grace! Jesus is grace Himself.

“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ” 

Grace is central to salvation
Grace is unmerited favor given by Jesus, the foundation of our redemption and relationship with God (Ephesians 2:8).

Jesus is the embodiment of grace
Jesus perfectly reveals God’s grace through His life, death, and resurrection, offering salvation freely to all who believe (Titus 2:11).

Grace sustains believers in understanding and living the prophecy
It is by grace that we receive revelation, endure trials, and walk in holiness, empowered by the Spirit (2 Corinthians 12:9).

The closing “Amen” affirms the truth and finality of the message
This is a solemn and joyful conclusion, sealing the prophetic word with God’s unwavering promise.

Ephesians 2:8  “For by grace are ye saved through faith...”

Titus 2:11  “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.”

2 Corinthians 12:9  “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”

John 1:14  “And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.”

Romans 5:15  “But not as the offence, so also is the free gift.”

Revelation 22:21 closes the book with a blessing of grace from the Lord Jesus, the source and sustainer of all spiritual life and revelation. Grace is the unmerited gift through which salvation is given and sustained. Recognizing Jesus as grace Himself invites believers to live by His favor, empowered by His Spirit. The “Amen” affirms the certainty and power of this eternal truth.

To My Bride 

The Church is called to live in unbroken fellowship with Jesus, drinking deeply of His Spirit and extending His invitation to a thirsty world. As the Bride, we overcome by resting in the finished work, living as those who reign with Jesus, and offering the water of life to all. Our final calling is to echo the Spirit’s invitation“Come!”and to live in hopeful anticipation of the day when we will see Him face to face, forever united in perfect love.

Love will save the world.

The Zealots thought force would save the world,
Rome thought power would save the world,
Religion thought law would save the world,
but Jesus showed:

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." – John 15:13

LOVE WILL SAVE THE WORLD
And I saw the Lamb standing, as though slain,
and His wounds shone brighter than the sun.
From His side flowed life for the nations,
and His voice was like many waters, saying,
"Behold, I make all things new."

Kings laid down their crowns,
warriors laid down their swords,
for His love had conquered their hearts.
The accuser was silenced,
for the blood had spoken better things than vengeance.

And I knew, in that holy moment,
that it was not wrath that redeemed us,
nor fear that held us,
but Love
Love eternal, Love unbroken,
Love poured out at the cross.

And the Kingdom of Love shall have no end.
