Revelation 22:4-14

4 they will 1see His face, and His 2name will be on their 3foreheads.
5 And 4there will no longer be any night; and they will not have need 5of the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illumine them; and they will 6reign forever and ever.
6 And 7he said to me, "8These words are faithful and true "; and the Lord, the 9God of the spirits of the prophets, 10sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.
7 "And behold, 11I am coming quickly. 12Blessed is he who heeds 13the words of the prophecy of this book."
8 14I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, 15I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
9 But 16he said to me, "Do not do that. I am a 17fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who heed the words of 18this book. Worship God."

The Final Message

10 And he said to me, "19Do not seal up 20the words of the prophecy of this book, 21for the time is near.
11 "22Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy."
12 "Behold, 23I am coming quickly, and My 24reward is with Me, 25to render to every man according to what he has done *.
13 "I am the 26Alpha and the Omega, 27the first and the last, 28the beginning and the end."
14 Blessed are those who 29wash their robes, so that they may have the right to 30the tree of life, and may 31enter by the 32gates into the city.
