Nearby Context

Revelation 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb:

Revelation 22:2 in the midst of its broad place, and of the river on this side and on that, <FI>is<Fi> a tree of life, yielding twelve fruits, in each several month rendering its fruits, and the leaves of the tree <FI>are<Fi> for the service of the nations;

Revelation 22:3 and any curse there shall not be any more, and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him,

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "shewed", "pure", "river", "water", "life", "bright", "crystal", and "going". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "shewed" and "pure", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "in the midst of its broad place...", so "shewed" and "pure" should be read forward into that movement. In Revelation context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "shewed" and "pure" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
