Introduction
Rev 22:1-2
“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. 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.”
John said Elohim showed him in a vision a pure river of life, clear as crystal proceeding out of the throne of Elohim.
This took place in heaven, so there must be a reflect in the earth plane (Rom. 1:19-20).
So when Elohim created the Garden in Eden, a river was created to water the garden. Now this reflected the river of life proceeding out of the throne of Elohim. Here the Garden in Eden would correlate with the throne of Elohim in the Most Holy Place. Note: Remember, Eden is the place where the Garden was located. All of Eden was not the Garden.
Now Moses goes on to say the river went out of the garden and parted into four rivers. (Gen. 2:10)
In essence, when Elohim placed Adam in the Garden of Eden, he placed him in a type of heaven with rulership.
The four rivers with their metaphysical definitions follow:
In the Elohim Text, Vol. 3, on a chart between p. 42 - 43, Dr. Kinley wrote about the Circle of Willis which is like a river of pure water coming from the throne (the brain), the Most Holy Place of the physical body.
“The diagram on the left displays a very unusual phenomenon that is not seen in any other area of the body; this is the arterial Circle of Willis where seven arteries come together to form a circle. This state of affairs comes about in the following fashion. The two vertebral arteries located on either side of the spine unite into the Basilar artery just as they enter the Cranial Cavity. The Basilar artery then unites with the two Posterior cerebral arteries, and they with the two Posterior Communicating arteries, and these unite with the two Middle Cerebral arteries which are connected in front by the one Anterior Communicating artery. The 3 pairs of arteries (excluding the Basilar) plus the one Anterior Communicating artery (7 in all) comprise the Circle of Willis which distributes blood to the base of the brain.”
On earth in Eden Elohim planted a tree of knowledge of good and evil and a tree of life. Now the tree that John sees in heaven has leaves for the healing of the nations.
Ezekiel 47:12
“And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.”
Mark 8:24
“And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.”
John 15:1-5
“1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”
_______________
Rev 22:3-4
“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: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.”
To understand these verses, Rev. 22:3-4, an understanding of the curse must be discerned. In other words, this spiritual death is the curse.
The Apostle Paul explained the curse the following way.
Rom. 5:12-14
“12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.”
It was Yahshua the Messiah’s death that was the atoning sacrifice for sin (Jn.1:29).
Under the Law and the curse of Adam’s death, no man could look upon the face of Yahweh and live (Exo. 3:6).
Exodus 33:20-21
“And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:”
Just as when Isaiah saw Elohim and his train after king Uzziah died (Isa. 6:1-3), Isaiah said, “woe is me,” my lips are unclean. A seraphim went and got a live coal off the altar of incense and placed it on his lips. (Isa. 5:5-7) This typified the Holy Spirit. Isaiah said: “and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.”
Now in the fourth verses John writes that Elohim says they shall see my face and live, for after the Messiah’s death, burial and resurrection, the believers have received the Holy Spirit.
____________
Rev 22:5
“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.”
This theme is covered in the 21st chapter.
____________
Rev 22:6
“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 theme will be covered in more detail in Rev 22:17-19.
The sayings are true in Revelation as they were in the Law and Prophets which prophesied the coming of the Messiah. Now He came into the flesh to fulfill what the prophets had written (John 5:39, Matt. 5:17-18). Thus, the Messiah provided proof the Scriptures were true.
So the prophecy of Revelation will also be true. They are being fulfilled before our eyes. The CoVID-19 pandemic is causing the mark of the beast system to be introduced.
____________
Rev. 22:7
“7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.”
This will be explained in the verses later, but those under the Law of Moses and the Prophets had to keep those sayings and believe the prophecy that a prophet would come and establish a kingdom and wipe away all tears. This was Yahshua.
____________
Rev. 22:8
“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’s experience was similar to the experience Daniel had in the Daniel 10th chapter.
Daniel 10:4-8
“And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel; then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.”
…
Daniel 10:14-15
“Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.”
____________
Rev. 22:9
“9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”
The angel was instructing John to worship Elohim not him for the Apostle Paul wrote in Hebrews the angels had to worship Elohim.
Hebrews 1:6
“And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.”
____________
Rev. 22:10
“10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.”
Daniel was told to seal the book until time of the end.
Daniel 12:4
“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”
The time of the end came when the Messiah came to remove the seal by His death, burial, and resurrection. He fulfilled what was written in the Law and Prophets.
So the prophecy of the the Book of Revelation wasn’t sealed, for the Holy Spirit would reveal it in this Present Kingdom Age of Grace.
______________
Rev 22:11-12
"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. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
In this age where the Holy Spirit was poured out to those that have the holy spirit they will be saved by His grace. Those that are dead spiritually will continue to do the things of the flesh.
________________
Rev 22:13
"13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."
Hebrews 1:5-6
“For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.”
Elohim, who is the Messiah (Jn. 1:1-4, 14), was the first to resurrect from the grave which makes him the end or omega.
Eccl. 1:9
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Malachi 3:6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
______________
Rev 22:14
"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."
Now as long as Adam & Eve were obedient in the garden they could eat of the tree of life and could remain in the garden in Eden. The key here is obedience.
The commandments are under the New Covenant (Jer. 31:31-34), not the Old Covenant of the Law of Moses. Thus, under New Covenant we are led by spirit that is written in the hearts and minds. Where we are saved by grace thru faith and not works of the law. (Eph. 2:8-9)
___________________
Rev 22:15
"15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."
All those spirits that are unclean, being in a sinful state, are denied entry to the Holy City, as stated in previous chapters. From a physical standpoint any Israelite that was unclean under the law of Moses was banished outside of the camp of Israel (Leviticus 13:46).

Rev 22:16
"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."
In the Elohim Text, Vol 4, p. 55, Dr. Kinley gave scriptures in the Law, Prophets, and Fulfillment below to prove the Messiah was from the lineage of David.
Genesis 49:9-10
9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? 10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Isa. 11:1-5
11 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
John 7:42
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
____________
Rev 22:17
"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."
Here the Spirit and the bride said the same thing Yahshua said to the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well.
Jn. 4:7
“There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.”
Jn. 4:9-11, 13 -14
“Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?….”
“Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
_________________
Rev 22:18-19
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: 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.”
John testifies what the Lamb Elohim showed to him in a panoramic vision resulted in the book of Revelation. Everyone is responsible for the prophecy in Revelation, meaning their eternal life is dependent on it.
John’s prophecy does not disannul our belief in the Messiah’s death, burial, and resurrection which is a prerequisite to John’s vision. You can’t understand geometry without understanding algebra or a student can’t proceed to wood shop 2 without passing wood shop 1. Neither can you understand the prophecy in Revelation without understanding the Messiah’s role and purpose.
What has occurred with John and the book of Revelation has occurred before to various prophets in the past.
Moses wrote in the book of the Law that Yahweh will send a prophet to Israel with a prophecy. They couldn’t add to the prophecy in the Law and Prophets or take away from this prophecy.
Moses wrote:
Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19
“The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;… I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”…
Now in the prophets, Isaiah wrote the following:
Isaiah 9:6-7
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
Now Yahshua the Messiah came into the flesh to fulfill what the books of the Law and Prophets had written of Him.
He said to the priests and leaders of Israel, who knew the Law and Prophets:
John 5:28-29,39
“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation……Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”
So in essence, those born before the Law and Prophets and during them were required to believe on the prophecy that a prophet would come to bring about a resurrection which would end the spiritual death of Adam (I Cor. 15:45). Yahshua made all believers alive spiritually and gave them eternal life.
Now John‘s prophecy in Revelation must be believed in this Present Kingdom Age of Grace in order to receive eternal life.
Jeremiah wrote his vision about the destruction of Babylon ruled by Nebuchadnezzer.
Jer. 51:60-64
“60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon. 61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words 62 Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever. 63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates: 64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.”

Introduction
Rev 22:1-2
“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. 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.”
John said Elohim showed him in a vision a pure river of life, clear as crystal proceeding out of the throne of Elohim.

Here the Garden in Eden would correlate with the throne of Elohim in the Most Holy Place. Note: Remember, Eden is the place where the Garden was located. All of Eden was not the Garden.
Now Moses goes on to say the river went out of the garden and parted into four rivers. (Gen. 2:10)
In essence, when Elohim placed Adam in the Garden of Eden, he placed him in a type of heaven with rulership.
The four rivers with their metaphysical definitions follow:
- Pishon means great outpouring, carried to the highest degree. It compass a land of Havilah which means virtue born of trial and courage (Gen. 2:11)
- Gihon means formative movement, bursting force compass the land of Ethiopia means Country are burning, burned forces (Gen. 2:13)
- Hiddekel means universal generation fluid, quick flowing; Goes towards the east of a Assyria mean straightforward (Gen. 2:14)
In the Elohim Text, Vol. 3, on a chart between p. 42 - 43, Dr. Kinley wrote about the Circle of Willis which is like a river of pure water coming from the throne (the brain), the Most Holy Place of the physical body.
“The diagram on the left displays a very unusual phenomenon that is not seen in any other area of the body; this is the arterial Circle of Willis where seven arteries come together to form a circle.

John 15:1-5
“1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”

Rev 22:3-4
“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: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.”
To understand these verses, Rev. 22:3-4, an understanding of the curse must be discerned. In other words, this spiritual death is the curse.
The Apostle Paul explained the curse the following way.
Rom. 5:12-14
“12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.”
It was Yahshua the Messiah’s death that was the atoning sacrifice for sin (Jn.1:29).
Under the Law and the curse of Adam’s death, no man could look upon the face of Yahweh and live (Exo. 3:6).
Exodus 33:20-21
“And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:”
Just as when Isaiah saw Elohim and his train after king Uzziah died (Isa. 6:1-3), Isaiah said, “woe is me,” my lips are unclean. A seraphim went and got a live coal off the altar of incense and placed it on his lips. (Isa. 5:5-7) This typified the Holy Spirit. Isaiah said: “and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.”
Now in the fourth verses John writes that Elohim says they shall see my face and live, for after the Messiah’s death, burial and resurrection, the believers have received the Holy Spirit.

Rev 22:5
“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.”

Rev 22:6
“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 theme will be covered in more detail in Rev 22:17-19.
The sayings are true in Revelation as they were in the Law and Prophets which prophesied the coming of the Messiah. Now He came into the flesh to fulfill what the prophets had written (John 5:39, Matt. 5:17-18). Thus, the Messiah provided proof the Scriptures were true.

This will be explained in the verses later, but those under the Law of Moses and the Prophets had to keep those sayings and believe the prophecy that a prophet would come and establish a kingdom and wipe away all tears. This was Yahshua.

Rev. 22:8
“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’s experience was similar to the experience Daniel had in the Daniel 10th chapter.
Daniel 10:4-8
“And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel; then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude. And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves. Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.”
…
Daniel 10:14-15
“Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.”

Rev. 22:9
“9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.”
The angel was instructing John to worship Elohim not him for the Apostle Paul wrote in Hebrews the angels had to worship Elohim.
Hebrews 1:6
“And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.”
____________
Rev. 22:10
“10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.”
Daniel was told to seal the book until time of the end.
Daniel 12:4
“But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”
The time of the end came when the Messiah came to remove the seal by His death, burial, and resurrection. He fulfilled what was written in the Law and Prophets.
So the prophecy of the the Book of Revelation wasn’t sealed, for the Holy Spirit would reveal it in this Present Kingdom Age of Grace.

Rev 22:11-12
"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. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.”
In this age where the Holy Spirit was poured out to those that have the holy spirit they will be saved by His grace. Those that are dead spiritually will continue to do the things of the flesh.

Rev 22:13
"13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."
Hebrews 1:5-6
“For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, This day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, And he shall be to me a Son? And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.”
Elohim, who is the Messiah (Jn. 1:1-4, 14), was the first to resurrect from the grave which makes him the end or omega.
Eccl. 1:9
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Malachi 3:6
For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

Rev 22:14
"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."
Now as long as Adam & Eve were obedient in the garden they could eat of the tree of life and could remain in the garden in Eden. The key here is obedience.
The commandments are under the New Covenant (Jer. 31:31-34), not the Old Covenant of the Law of Moses. Thus, under New Covenant we are led by spirit that is written in the hearts and minds. Where we are saved by grace thru faith and not works of the law. (Eph. 2:8-9)

Rev 22:15
"15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie."
All those spirits that are unclean, being in a sinful state, are denied entry to the Holy City, as stated in previous chapters. From a physical standpoint any Israelite that was unclean under the law of Moses was banished outside of the camp of Israel (Leviticus 13:46).

Rev 22:16
"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."
In the Elohim Text, Vol 4, p. 55, Dr. Kinley gave scriptures in the Law, Prophets, and Fulfillment below to prove the Messiah was from the lineage of David.
Genesis 49:9-10
9 Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? 10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
Isa. 11:1-5
11 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: 2 And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; 3 And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: 4 But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. 5 And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
John 7:42
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

Rev 22:17
"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."
Here the Spirit and the bride said the same thing Yahshua said to the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well.
Jn. 4:7
“There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.”
Jn. 4:9-11, 13 -14
“Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?….”
“Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Rev 22:18-19
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: 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.”
John testifies what the Lamb Elohim showed to him in a panoramic vision resulted in the book of Revelation. Everyone is responsible for the prophecy in Revelation, meaning their eternal life is dependent on it.
John’s prophecy does not disannul our belief in the Messiah’s death, burial, and resurrection which is a prerequisite to John’s vision. You can’t understand geometry without understanding algebra or a student can’t proceed to wood shop 2 without passing wood shop 1. Neither can you understand the prophecy in Revelation without understanding the Messiah’s role and purpose.
What has occurred with John and the book of Revelation has occurred before to various prophets in the past.
Moses wrote in the book of the Law that Yahweh will send a prophet to Israel with a prophecy. They couldn’t add to the prophecy in the Law and Prophets or take away from this prophecy.
Moses wrote:
Deuteronomy 18:15, 18-19
“The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;… I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.”…
Now in the prophets, Isaiah wrote the following:
Isaiah 9:6-7
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
Now Yahshua the Messiah came into the flesh to fulfill what the books of the Law and Prophets had written of Him.
He said to the priests and leaders of Israel, who knew the Law and Prophets:
John 5:28-29,39
“Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation……Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”
So in essence, those born before the Law and Prophets and during them were required to believe on the prophecy that a prophet would come to bring about a resurrection which would end the spiritual death of Adam (I Cor. 15:45). Yahshua made all believers alive spiritually and gave them eternal life.
Now John‘s prophecy in Revelation must be believed in this Present Kingdom Age of Grace in order to receive eternal life.
Jeremiah wrote his vision about the destruction of Babylon ruled by Nebuchadnezzer.
Jer. 51:60-64
“60 So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon. 61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words 62 Then shalt thou say, O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever. 63 And it shall be, when thou hast made an end of reading this book, that thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of Euphrates: 64 And thou shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring upon her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.”
