Read Revelation 22 in context

Scripture Focus

1And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

2In 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.

Revelation 22:1-2

Biblical Context

Revelation 22:1-2 portrays a pure river of life flowing from the throne of God and the Lamb, with the tree of life along the street whose fruits and healing leaves signify continual renewal. The imagery invites inner life and outward healing as one ongoing act of consciousness.

Neville's Inner Vision

The river of life is the living flow of your consciousness, issuing from the throne of God within—your I AM presence. The Lamb and the throne stand as one presence, so every movement of awareness is sacred and real. The river in the street is not a distant stream but the stream of inner vitality circulating through every moment, strengthening the soil of your decisions and shaping your life. The tree of life on both sides signifies perennial renewal of your faculties: twelve fruits for twelve aspects of your nature, yielding new fruit each month as your attention rests in the eternal now. The leaves for the healing of the nations are the effects of inner healing—when you align with this life, your attitudes, relationships, and world conditions respond to healing in measure with your inner harmony. This is the Kingdom of God—not a distant place, but the state of awareness you cultivate.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and imagine a pure river issuing from the throne of your inner God. Drink from it, feel renewed power, and declare, 'I am the tree of life; I bear fruit and healing now.'
