Revelation Chapter Twenty-Two Breakdown

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

The angel next shows John a pure river of the water of life. This water comes directly from the throne of YHWH and Yeshua.

2 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.

There are trees which line both sides of the river. They are all the tree of life and produce twelve fruits each month. The leaves of the tree can heal the nations.

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.

There is no more curse, and the servants of YHWH will serve Him. The curse, if you remember, comes from not obeying YHWH.

Deuteronomy 11:26-28

“Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.

At this point, there really is no option to disobey YHWH within the walls of the kingdom.

4 They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads.

All those in the kingdom will stand face to face with YHWH, and His name will be on their foreheads.

5 There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

Inside the kingdom there is no night and no need for the sun or a lamp. YHWH is their light. John repeats this several times, this must mean he is amazed by this. Those within the kingdom will reign with YHWH forever.

6 Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.

John is told by the angel, these words are true, YHWH sent His angel to show the things that will come to pass.  

7 “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

Yeshua is coming quickly. Those who keep the words found in the prophecy John is giving, are blessed.

8 Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

John saw and heard all these things, then fell down to worship the angel.

9 Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

John is rebuked by the angel and told to worship only YHWH.

10 And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.

John is commanded not to hide the words of this prophecy because these things are close to beginning. This was stated during the life of John. John lived roughly two thousand years ago. This leads me to believe we are now in the last days, as in, fully immersed. If that is the case, we absolutely must take a look around the world today and see what we can find that matches up. Doing so leads me to the conclusions I have laid out throughout the entire breakdown of each of the chapters. That is, looking at where these antichrist countries are located, and seeing that each of those countries are all of one mindset today.

11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

John is told, if a man is unjust, let him be and so on.

12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.

Yeshua is coming quickly and bringing His reward for men. His reward will be given to each man according to that man’s deeds. This is also a very interesting point. Most churches today teach a man’s works do not have an effect on his salvation or afterlife. This clearly states we will be rewarded according to our works.

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”

Again we see, Yeshua stating He is the Aleph and Tav, that is the first and the last.

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

This verse comes just after the statement concerning His rewards. Those who keep the commandments of YHWH will be blessed. Those who keep those commandments will be granted access to the tree of life and through the gates of the kingdom.

Does the inverse mean then, those who do not keep His commandments will not have access to the tree of life and will not be allowed to enter through the gates of the Kingdom of God?

15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

Outside the gates of the kingdom are sinners. Notice the things listed here are all things that directly violate the commandments of YHWH, which is what many call the Law of Moses.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”

Yeshua sends His angel to the churches. He is the Root of David.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

The Spirit of the bride is the Spirit of those who want to keep the Law of YHWH.

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

If anyone adds to these prophecies, YHWH will add the plagues found here to him. Anyone removing things from these prophecies will be removed from the Book of Life.

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Yeshua says again, He is coming quickly.

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

John says may the grace of Yeshua be with you.
