A Joyful Assembly

We have come before God’s holy mountain:
the heavenly Jerusalem,
the city of the living God;
let us therefore give thanks to God,
thus offering acceptable worship
with reverence and awe:
for our God is a consuming fire.

New Testament Reading - The tree of life

thumb

1And he pointed out to me a river of pure Water of Life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb, 2coursing down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew Trees of Life,a bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month; the leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.

3There shall be nothing in the city that is evil; for the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him. 4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be written on their foreheads. 5And there will be no night there — no need for lamps or sun — for the Lord God will be their light; and they shall reign forever and ever.

. . . . . Revelation 22:1-5
  1. Literally, “The tree of life” — used here as a collective noun, implying plurality.
