Revelation 22

പഠനം

   

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.

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.

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.

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.

7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

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.

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.

10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

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.

13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

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.

15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

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.

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.

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.

20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

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

139. [140.] 7. After numerous destructions and quasi-judgments had been accomplished, which were forerunners of the general destruction and judgment, and companies of spirits who were impure had been cast into pools, lakes, swamps and gulfs, that is, into hells, others then came there who were skilled in the art of inspiring and inciting others to evils in their inner thought. These stirred up their hearts against the Lord, and against the Divine truth issuing from Him, causing a multitude to begin to rise as one whole mass in ferment. The tumult then spread from there in every direction, as when a rebellion is begun by a few and yet at last incites a mob - in this case spreading onto a number of rocks and mountains, extending to their peaks and from there to the sides, and descending even to their foundations. I saw the mob stretching far and wide. Their intent was to destroy those who acknowledged the Lord and also worshiped Him, and who were in possession of Divine truths from Him.

When it was noticed how broadly the contagion had spread, then the Lord's advent took place for the general judgment. This advent was a flowing in of the Lord through the heavens into those people, an influx which looked like a misty atmosphere enveloping those mountains and rocks, and it carried off the inhabitants there - not casting them down but bearing them away. That Divine atmosphere entered into their interior elements and laid them open. Thus what lay hidden in their will and heart became apparent, and this carried them away and bore them down into hells in accordance with the evils of their life. I saw that Divine atmosphere swirling around in circles, sometimes reversing course, and it also drew those people from places where they had hidden themselves. This was accomplished with tens of thousands within an hour's time.

At the conclusion of these events, the tops of the mountains began to subside, and the mountains themselves sank down all the way to level ground, and a solitude appeared.

Such phenomena are meant in the book of Revelation by the first heaven and the first earth which John saw pass away, 1 for mountains in the spiritual world, with their rocks and valleys, look there like our earth in the world, and they call their habitations on mountains there heavens. The people who were thus carried off and cast down are those meant in the book of Revelation by the dragon and its two beasts (chapters 12, 13), and by the false prophet, who were cast into the lake of brimstone and fire (chapters [19, 20]). 2
