Genesis 2: 8-14
立伊甸園
8 耶和華神在東方的伊甸立了一個園子,把所造的人安置在那裡。 9 耶和華神使各樣的樹從地裡長出來,可以悅人的眼目,其上的果子好做食物。園子當中又有生命樹和分別善惡的樹。 10 有河從伊甸流出來,滋潤那園子,從那裡分為四道。 11 第一道名叫比遜,就是環繞哈腓拉全地的。在那裡有金子, 12 並且那地的金子是好的,在那裡又有珍珠和紅瑪瑙。 13 第二道河名叫基訓,就是環繞古實全地的。 14 第三道河名叫底格里斯,流在亞述的東邊。第四道河就是幼發拉底河。
Revelation 22: 1-5
生命水和生命樹
22 天使又指示我在城內街道當中一道生命水的河,明亮如水晶,從神和羔羊的寶座流出來。 2 在河這邊與那邊有生命樹,結十二樣[a]果子,每月都結果子,樹上的葉子乃為醫治萬民。 3 以後再沒有咒詛。在城裡有神和羔羊的寶座,他的僕人都要侍奉他, 4 也要見他的面。他的名字必寫在他們的額上。
不再有黑夜
5 不再有黑夜,他們也不用燈光、日光,因為主神要光照他們。他們要做王,直到永永遠遠。
Amos 5: 24
24 唯願公平如大水滾滾,使公義如江河滔滔。
