REVELATION
«Chapter 22»

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”

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

I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”

Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near. Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy.”

“Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices Falsehood.

“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.

Please call me Dan.

Not right away, but eventually, unless the Spirit says, “Stop.” First, I’ll post a 37-part series on Featured Artists. Following that will be a topical series; I expect the first topic will be Women of the Bible—there is an abundance of great art—and several other topics are simmering.

Behold, I am coming soon!...
Behold, I am coming soon!...
Yes, I am coming soon...

Excellent. Generally I use the KJV default for NT references, which means I end up seeing these as "I come quickly".

ταχύ tachý, takh-oo'; neuter singular of G5036 (as adverb); shortly, i.e. without delay, soon, or (by surprise) suddenly, or (by implication, of ease) readily:—lightly, quickly.

Reminds me of:

"Three come unexpectedly. These are they: Mashiach, a metziah (a bargain or find) and a scorpion". (Sanhedrin 97a)

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/out_of_the_blue

(It's a weird little world out there. Signs everywhere.)

Why you actin' so surprised? You knew.

-- Of course I knew! I just had no idea!

Obscure movie reference (Oscar)

Not only is He coming "soonly", but for those of us who have surrendered themselves to Him, He has come already. Now that is quick soonness!

Hollyweird can be tapped in unwittingly in the most peculiar ways.

"The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?"

Then shortly thereafter, Marty in fact said, "Jesus Christ".

He wasn't even thinking, or trying to be offensive really, he just blurted that out what with all the excitement about the car.

Don't know whether a timely DeLorean might prove useful in the eternity of heaven, but its absence of gravity will allow my short little wife to enjoy being able to hover over her jigsaw puzzles. She could tackle one with a million pieces. Maybe start one with a quadrillion pieces that everyone works on.
