Was there the Tree of Life.—The Christ, Head and Body.
Which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her [fruit] FRUITS every month.—Twelve kinds of fruit, twelve times a year, for a thousand years—a total fruitage of 144,000.
And the leaves of the [tree] TREES were for the healing of the nations.—“The symbolic picture suggests nourishment and healing for the sin-sick, starving world, which then may partake freely of all the blessings and privileges thus symbolized.”—Z. '05-171; Rev. 21:24; Ezek. 47:12.
22:3. And there shall be no [more] curse.—“Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it [the removal of the curse] shall be to the Lord for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.” (Isa. 55:13.) “Upon no subject is the testimony of the Scriptures more positive, consistent and conclusive than on this subject of the curse, its effects upon man, the redemption from it, and its ultimate removal.”—E. 421, 405.
But the Throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it.—“A spiritual police force will have humanity under absolute control. Every misdeed will be punished as soon as it is determined upon and before it shall have been put into effect. Likewise, every good act, good word and good thought will bring a blessing of restitution, health, strength—mental, moral, physical.”—Z. '15-267.
And His servants shall serve Him.—Beautiful inheritance of the Great Company class.—Rev. 7:15.
22:4. And they shall see His face.—This will be worth all they will be called upon to endure.—Matt. 5:8.
And His name shall be [in] ON their foreheads.—At present many of this class do not have clear perceptions of the Father's character. All misunderstandings will be cleared up shortly. They only await the departure of the last of the Elijah class, in the spring of 1918.
22:5. And there shall be no MORE night [there].—Doubtless, at first, the Great Company's memories of her dark night will be very keen.—Rev. 7:14; 21:23, 25.
And they need [no] NOT THE LIGHT OF A candle.—Light from the Church in the flesh.
