The Invitation to Union (Cleaving)

Revelation 22:17 — "And the Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let him who hears say, 'Come!' And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely."

The Statutes of the Court (Plurality & Sin)

Revelation 22:18–19 — "For I testify to everyone who hears... If anyone adds to these things... if anyone takes away from the words of the book..."

The Final Verdict (Surely)

Revelation 22:20 — "He who testifies to these things says, 'Surely I am coming quickly.' Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!"

The Final State (The Kingdom)

Revelation 22:21 — "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."

The Summary of the End

The end of Revelation is the Mechanical Shutdown of the Old Self. It describes a consciousness that has successfully "Left" the familiar states of lack and "Cleaved" to a unified identity of "Life." Because the Courtroom (Elohim) finds no contradiction in your "I AM," it grants the "Water of Life" without delay. It is the transition from Petitioner to Ruler.
