The Hebraic Book of Revelation – Part 22

Rev 22:1 And he showed me a pure river of Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of יהוה  and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of its street, and of the river, from here and from there, was the Tree of Life.

The earthly paradise which was lost by the sin of the first Adam; here is another paradise restored by the second Adam prophesied in the Psalms:

ps 46:4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of יהוה, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. יהוה is in the midst of her.

Zech 14:6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:But it shall be one day which shall be known to יהוה , not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.

Rev 22:3 which bore twelve fruits, each yielding its fruit according to one month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And every curse will no longer be.

There shall be no more curse; no accursed one – katanathema, no serpent there, as there was in the earthly paradise. 

but the throne of יהוה and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will serve Him.

We come to the climatic tree, the end of a horticultural prophetic journey through scripture.

Rev 22:4 And they will see His face, and His name will be in their foreheads. 5 And there will be no night there. And they need no lamp, or light of the sun; for יהוה Elohim gives them light. And they will reign forever and ever.

Rev 22:6 And he said to me, These sayings are faithful and true. And the Master יהוה of the holy prophets sent His angel to show to His servants the things which must shortly be done. 7 Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the Words of the prophecy of this Book.

Rev 22:8 And I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel showing me these things. 9 Then he said to me, Behold! See, do not do it! For I am your fellow-servant, and of your brothers the prophets, and of those who keep the Words of this Book. Do worship to יהוה .

Rev 22:10 And he said to me, Do not seal the Words of the prophecy of this Book; for the time is at hand.

 11 He acting unjustly, let him still act unjustly. And the filthy, let him be filthy still. And the righteous, let him be righteous still. And the holy, let him be holy still.

 Evil men will be going on in their evil, and need warnings; good men will be growing better through the struggle, and so will need more encouragement. 

 Jn 12:39 Therefore they could not believe, because that Esaias said again, He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

‘Sow an act—reap a habit; sow a habit—reap a character; sow a character—reap a destiny.’ The righteous become righteous; the godly become godly. 

So, slowly but surely, we march on toward our destiny. Choose this day who you will serve.

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

Rev 22:13 I am the Alef-Tav, the Beginning and the Ending, the First and the Last.

the first, and . . . last. Isa 41:4, Isa 44:6; Isa 48:12. The three-fold witness of Isaiah, and three -fold witness in the Apocalypse (Rev 1:17; Rev 2:8; Rev 22:13).

with the last.

Rev 22:14 Blessed are they who do His commandments (NU Text: washed their robes) that their authority will be over the Tree of Life, and they may enter in by the gates into the city.

NU Text: washed their robes: was changed by translators to downplay the stand alone ordinance of Torah observance – 

GK: poieō – Heb: ‛âśâh a primitive root; to do.

GK: entolē – an authoritative commandment. 

LXX: Torot of 1st mention: Lev 27:34 These  are the commandments/mitsvâh, which יהוה commanded  Moshe  for  the children  of Israel  in mount  Sinai. 

Yahusha’s last words to the world: “Do the Torah so you have the right to the tree of life.” Mitzvot

Isa 8:16 Bind up the testimony, seal the torah among my disciples. V.20 To the torah and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Rev 22:15 But outside are the Kunes – כּלב – homosexuals, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and makes a lie.

The Torah translation is very literal in its finality to YHWHs unbending morality on holiness.

The English translations soften the Greek word Kunes which appears in the LXX of the Torah: Deut. 23:18 illustrating the figurative use of the word “כּלב” to actually mean male “homosexual” כּלב prostitute. 

Rev 22:16 I, Yahusha, have sent My angel to testify these things to you over the congregations. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright and Morning Star. Rev 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let the one hearing say, Come! And let the one who is thirsty come. And he willing, let him take of the Water of Life freely.

Rev 22:18 For I testify together to everyone who hears the Words of the prophecy of this Book: If anyone adds to these things, יהוה will add on him the plagues that have been written in this Book.

Rev 22:19 And if anyone takes away from the Words of the Book of this prophecy, יהוה will take away his part out of the Book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which have been written in this Book.

unauthorized doctrines in the prophecy, or those who neglect essential ones, not  transcribers who might unadvisedly interpolate or omit something in the true text.

20 He who testifies these things says, Yes, I am coming quickly, Amen. Yes, come, Master Yahusha.

V. 20 is the revelation of our spiritual state and condition. 

Rev 22:21 The grace of our Master Yahusha Messiah be with all of you. Amen.

Exo 34:6 יהוה, יהוה, El, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the sons, and on the sons of sons, to the third and to the fourth generation.

We reached His limit and now all things are made NEW!
