The Water Of Life
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 who inspires the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants
the things that must soon take place.”
“Look,
I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy
written in this scroll.”
Revelation 22:1-7
How
long is forever? We can’t even begin to imagine heaven. We put our earth
filters on and it looks really nice. But we have no way to really see it. It
will take our breath away. We will be awestruck. We will see beauty we cannot
even begin to comprehend.
We
will experience God in His glory and with His illumination. There will be no
pain or sorrow.
We
will bask in the glory of the Lord’s presence – forever. And we will not be bored for even one nano
second.
The pleasures of earth cannot be compared to the joys of heaven.
