(
Rev. 20.11) Records White Throne Judgment, (
Rev. 21.9)The New Jerusalem, then (
Rev. 22.2) "In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life...yielding its fruit
EVERY month. The leaves of the tree for the
HEALING of the nations."
Apparently, the nations still need healing, so it seems God's purpose of purging, correcting and purifying continues. Chapter 21 says the gates of the city will never be closed, and that the kings of the earth will come into the city. Chapter 22.15 says there are "dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murders and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie."
The gates stay open, there are sinners outside and there are leaves for their healing available, the implication is that salvation is still in process. These facts also seem to support ultimate reconciliation for all.
Of course, if you are preterist, this is symbolism for the New Coveant age. Any thoughts are insights, anyone?
