             Paraphrased    

3 - There is no curse there, and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no

night there and they will not need light of lamp or sun, for the LORD God will righten upon them. And they will reign {🗝️”crowns of Life” not metal, Daniel 2:36-45} to the ages, of the ages.

     6 And he said to me (John), “These words are trustworthy and true. And the LORD, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”

     7 “So behold, I’m coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

     8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 but he said to me, “You must not do that! I’m a fellow servant with you and your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.” 10 And he said to me {narrative that is spoken - outside - of the vision} “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near [eggus - at hand, near, nigh, ready]. 11 {Then/at that time} Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.” {Speaking about conditions befoRe apocalypse, noT after Rev.21:1-5, etc. Mt.13:30 as both Rev.16:14-15-16 and Mt.25:1-13.

     12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense [misthos - reward, wages] with me, to bring to each one as they they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

     14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so they may have right to the tree of life and may enter the gates of the city. 15 Outside are the contemptible, the sorcerers [pharmakos - sorcerers, magicians, from pharmakon - drug, spell] and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. {For the city, the kingdom, is here now.. just not fully.}

     16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things. I’m the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” {The beginning of day..}

     17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Yes, come!” [Erchomai - can denote both the act of coming and the state of having arrived.] “And let the one who is thirsty come! Let the one who desires take of the water of life without price.

     18 But I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, God will add to them the plagues described in this book. 19 And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away their part of the tree of life and of the holy city, which are described in this book. {And will be outside the city at His return. Instead of having part in serving upon GWT judgment ‘day’ will be learning and being corrected then, instead of having been corrected now.} 20 And he who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

     21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen. (End of the Book of the Revelation Vision.)
