What is this "river of water of life"?  Literal water is a vital element for life.  Without food, a man can survive for a number of weeks, but without water he will die in about a week. Water is also a cleansing agent  and vital for health.  Thus, the water of life ust represent somethibg essetial for the life and health of mankind. The prophet Ezekiel was also granted a vision of this "river of water of life,"  and in his visiob, the river flowd out from the temple in Jerusalem and down into the Dead Sea.  Then, miracle of miracles! That lifeless, chemically saturated body of water was coverted into fresh water teeming with fish!  (Ezekiel 47:1-12)  Yes, the visionary river bribgs back to life something that was previously dead, confirming that the river of water of life pictures God's provisio through Jesus Christ for restoring perfect human life to the "dead" human race.  This river is "clear as crystal," showig the purity and holiness of God's provisons. It is not like the blood-stained, death-dealing "waters" of Christendom. - REVELATION 8:10, 11.
