And He who is sitting upon the throne said, `Lo, I make all things new; and He saith to me, `Write, because these words are true and stedfast;' and He said to me, `It has been done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End; I, to him who is thirsting, will give of the fountain of the water of the life freely'...
...And he showed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, flowing forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.."
