The View from the Throne
Revelation 22:1-5

I. A Flowing River of Life (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.
A. The Source of the River – The river of life will flow directly from the throne of God.
B. The Serenity of the River – Just as all we’ve seen before, the river of life will be pure, clear as crystal.
C. The Substance of the River – This is the river of the water of life, flowing from the throne of the Giver of life.

II. A Flourishing Tree of Life (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.
A. The Bounty of the Tree (2a) – This is no ordinary tree; in fact we’ve never seen anything like it before.
B. The Benefit of the Tree (2b) – The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

III. A Flawless Day of Life (3-5) – We can’t begin to imagine one eternal day with God in heaven. It will be a day free of anything that would hinder or bring despair.
A. The Absence of the Curse (3a) – And there shall be no more curse:
B. The Presence of the Lord (3b-4) – 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.
C. The Magnificence of Eternity (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.
