Please compare Revelation 22:2 with Psalm 1:1-3.
Revelation 22:2 describes “the tree of life” with twelve fruits yielded monthly and with healing leaves.

The river water symbolizes blessings of truth from the Bible, [...]
In 2 Thessalonians 2, the man of sin persecutes those who love God and the truth. What are those persecutions?
