But they which are written in the [Lamb's.] Book of THE Life OF HEAVEN.—“The Lamb's Book of Life we must understand to include only those who attain to the position of joint-heirship with Christ, those whose names are written in Heaven during this Gospel Age and who are faithful to their Covenant. (Psa. 50:5.)”—Z. '16-394; Phil. 4:3; Rev. 3:5, 13:8.

The River Of Life
22:1. And he showed me a [pure] River of Water of Life, clear as crystal.—“One would think that, even with no knowledge of the symbols of Revelation, no thinking Christian should have any difficulty in realizing that the book portrays trouble for the Church throughout this Gospel Age and the triumphant Millennial Reign at its close.”—Z. '05-170; Ezek. 47:1-12; Joel 3:18; Zech. 14:8; Psa. 46:4.
Proceeding out of the Throne of God and of the Lamb.—“The Scriptures nowhere speak of the River of the Water of Life now. There is none, and can be none until the Heavenly City descends, for the river must flow from the midst of it, from the Throne. Describing the condition of the Lord's saints at the present time very differently, the Lord declares that those who are His have in them a well of water springing up into life eternal.”—Z. '05-172; Ezek. 47:1; Zech. 14:8.
22:2. In the midst of the street of it.—In the midst of the Highway of Holiness.—Rev. 21:21.
And on either side of the River.—Nourished and blessed by the life-giving Waters of Truth.—Ezek. 47:12.
