For the first time recently I noticed in Revelation 22:1-2 that it says "And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. IN 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."
In the book of revelation chapter 20 it speaks of the books. I know there is the book of life. What are the books?
Is this considered a resurrection in Revelation 14:1-3, of the 144,000?
The creatures mentioned in Ezekiel's vision, first chapter of Ezekiel, later four living creatures in Revelation 7:11, without mention of the faces. Are these the same creatures and do they represent the four gospels?
When Jesus is addressing the seven churches in Revelations, he repeats the statement, "to him that overcomes." In Revelation 3:21 Jesus even says, "... to him that overcomes, even as I also overcame..." My question is; If a person is saved by grace through faith, and the debt is paid in full by the blood of Christ, what is left to overcome? He is calling us to overcome in the same manner as he did, how is that?
