The tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. ~ Revelation 22:2

In Revelation 22:7, the blessing is for the person who ‘keeps’ the words of this prophecy (message from God). Here, the word ‘keeps’ is a word-picture. It means to guard something, as one guards a precious object. So, for this blessing, it is not enough just to read the book. We must read it with great care, and we must consider it precious. We must trust its message. From it, we must learn to trust God more and to serve him better.

If we do that, the message of hope in the Book of Revelation will make us stronger and better Christians. We will no longer care so much about our feelings or our situation in this world. Instead, we will remember that God is preparing a better world for us, his people. If we truly trust Christ, then we will be citizens of that perfect world.

Christ is coming soon. That simple message deals with all our struggles. It is the answer to all life’s troubles. In this world, we may have great troubles but with Christ, we shall overcome (John 16:33; Revelation 3:21; Revelation 12:11; Revelation 21:7). ~ From: usefulbible.com

Once more you’ll see the difference it makes between being a person who does the right thing and one who doesn’t, between serving God and not serving him.

~ Malachi 3:18

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book. ~ Revelation 22:18-19
