This is a promise that we can trust. We also find in the Bible an image of a river that is present at the end of time. It is found in the Book of Revelation, which was written by a man named John. Towards the end of that book we read, Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb, through the middle of the street of the city. Along the riverbanks are trees that are always filled with bewildering choice of fruit ready for you to pick and eat.
Life flourishes everywhere.
This picture is one of a river of water flowing from the throne of God and Jesus. The river embodies life. The trees along the bank are constantly giving fruit and these trees are the tree of life . This latter point is significant. You might remember mention of the tree of life in the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden.
