I, John, Saw And Heard All This.

 "Then, he showed me the river of life, clear as crystal, gushing from the throne of GOD, and of the Lamb.  In the middle of the city, on both sides of the river, are the trees of life, producing fruit twelve times, once each month, the leaves of which are for healing the nations.

No longer will there be a curse; the throne of GOD and of the Lamb will be in the city, and GOD's servants will live in HIS presence.  They will see HIS face, and HIS name will be on their foreheads.  There will be no more night.  They will not need the light of lamp, or sun, for GOD, HIMSELF, will be their light, and they will reign forever.

Then, the angel said to me, 'These words are sure and true; the LORD GOD, who inspires the prophets, has sent HIS angel, to show HIS servants what must happen soon.'

'I AM coming soon!  Happy are those who keep the prophetic words of this book.'" - Revelation 22:1-7 

(And they will reign forever.  This is the final word, and it is the seventh time it is said in Revelation.

I, John, saw and heard all this.  Thus, Scripture concludes, and we can recall the parable of the workers hired for the LORD's vineyard [Matthew 20].  The work in which prophets and writers participated in the course of a day is over.  In the first hour the visions with which Genesis begins, and which briefly present the divine vocation of people and the purpose of the world, were written.  In the final hour, John, after knowing CHRIST, the Morning Sun, has just seen humanity preparing to share the glory of GOD.

It is the final hour, the expected coming of CHRIST.  We know, however, that the final hour may be extended and that the Groom may come late in the night: Christians are watchful, firm in their hope, even as they face the Power of Darkness.)
