This is not the first time that life-giving water has been offered to mankind. When he was on earth, Jesus spoke of water that imparted everlasting life. (John 4:10-14; 7:37, 38) Further, John is about to hear the loving invitation: "The spirit and the bride keep on saying: 'Come!' And let anyone hearing say: 'Come!' And let anyone hearing say: 'Come!' And let anyone thirsting come: And let anyone that wishes to take life's water free." (Revelation 22:17) This invitation is being sounded even now, indicating that a measure of water life is already available. But in the new world, those waters will flow from God's throne and through New Jerusalem as a veritable river.
