Text: Revelation 22:1-7
Do you remember this? (Video Clip of T2T "Home"). This video makes me glad and sad at the same time.

And now, we are reading about and hearing about "HOME."
This week and next week, we'll envision the last chapter, hear the final word, and see our eternal HOME. Let's read the first 7 verses of Revelation 22. (READ TEXT)
It has been said, "A picture paints a thousand words" and "a word can paint a thousand pictures." Nowhere is this truer than when John is given this last picture to paint. If Revelation were a movie, the climatic music would have sounded at the end of Chapter 20 as the evil one and all his people were destroyed and now we would hear the soothing, peaceful music as the camera would pa ...
