8.19-Leaves of trees will someday heal the wounds between nations.

8.19-
Revelation 22.

22 Then he showed me a river of the water of life, ^[a]clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of ^[b]the Lamb, ² in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve ^[c]kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. ³ There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him; ⁴ they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads. ⁵ And there will no longer be any night; and they ^[d]will not have need of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will reign forever and ever.

⁶ And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true”; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.
⁷ “And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who ^[e]heeds the words of the prophecy of this book.”
⁸ I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. ⁹ But he *said to me, “Do not do that. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who ^[f]heed the words of this book. Worship God.”

The Final Message

¹⁰ And he *said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. ¹¹ Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy.”
¹² “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man ^[g]according to what he has done. ¹³ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
¹⁴ Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city. ¹⁵ Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices lying.
¹⁶ “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things ^[h]for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”

Psalm 77

77 My voice rises to God, and I will cry aloud;
My voice rises to God, and He will hear me.
² In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord;
In the night my hand was stretched out ^[b]without weariness;
My soul refused to be comforted.
³ When I remember God, then I am disturbed;
When I sigh, then my spirit grows faint. ^[c]Selah.
⁴ You have held my eyelids open;
I am so troubled that I cannot speak.
⁵ I have considered the days of old,
The years of long ago.
⁶ I will remember my song in the night;
I will meditate with my heart,
And my spirit ^[d]ponders:

⁷ Will the Lord reject forever?
And will He never be favorable again?
⁸ Has His lovingkindness ceased forever?
Has His ^[e]promise come to an end ^[f]forever?
⁹ Has God forgotten to be gracious,
Or has He in anger ^[g]withdrawn His compassion? Selah.
¹⁰ Then I said, “It is my ^[h]grief,
That the right hand of the Most High has changed.”

¹¹ I shall remember the deeds of ^[i]the Lord;
Surely I will remember Your wonders of old.
¹² I will meditate on all Your work
And muse on Your deeds.
¹³ Your way, O God, is holy;
What god is great like our God?
¹⁴ You are the God who works wonders;
You have made known Your strength among the peoples.
¹⁵ You have by Your ^[j]power redeemed Your people,
The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah.

¹⁶ The waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The deeps also trembled.
¹⁷ The clouds poured out water;
The skies gave forth a sound;
Your arrows ^[k]flashed here and there.
¹⁸ The sound of Your thunder was in the whirlwind;
The lightnings lit up the world;
The earth trembled and shook.
¹⁹ Your way was in the sea
And Your paths in the mighty waters,
And Your footprints may not be known.
²⁰ You led Your people like a flock
By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
