"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."
Revelation 22:1-2
Apparently there will still be water and trees. Cool water, and cool trees... I like how there are 12 different kinds of fruit on one tree. You don't usually get that variety. :) Plus the tree of life, standing there, available... that is amazing. I think of "water of life" used just like "tree of life" ... and that water seems very significant. ... Even better, later in this chapter it says "And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." ... There are similar verses scattered throughout the scriptures, but I love this one where in the same chapter where it talks about the source of the water, it invites people to partake of it. It seems more than symbolic that way... and can you imagine what the "water of life" would taste like? Wow... probably never have anything as wonderful and thirst-quenching as that. :) I'm looking forward to it.
