Christ`s Invitation.
Those who obey God`s commandments are the blessed ones who may enter the new Jerusalem and receive of eternal life through Jesus. But those who are evil cannot enter.
`Blessed are those who do His commandments,
that they may have the right to the tree of life,
and may enter through the gates into the city.
But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers
and idolaters and whoever loves and practises a lie.`
(Rev. 22: 14 & 15)
The Holy Spirit and those of the New Jerusalem (the bride) invite those who are desiring eternal life, to come and `drink,` of the water of life – Christ`s life in the New Jerusalem.
` And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say,
“Come!” And let him who thirsts come.
And whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.`
(Rev. 22: 17)
However there are warnings given to not add or take away from what God has written in His prophecy in Revelation.
`For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book:
If anyone adds to these things,
God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
and if anyone takes away from the words of this prophecy,
God shall take away his part from the book of life, from the holy city,
and from the things which are written in this book.`
(Rev. 22: 18 & 19)
Finally the Lord Jesus declares again that when He comes it will be suddenly. The Apostle John replies, “even so, come, Lord Jesus”. May that be our prayer also.
`He who testifies to these things says
“ surely I am coming quickly!”
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.’
(Rev. 22: 20 & 21)
