Revelation 22:1
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Revelation 22:3
And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
The throne of God and of the Lamb...
This throne seems to be as opposed to the throne of David that was the promise of Israel. That promise having been fulfilled the eternal plan has gone on to better things.
Israel is no longer the people of God, in fact in this eternal vision people don't seem to be the focus at all, but God and the Lamb. There are, of course, people there, but they are where they really always belonged, in the background.
The Bible doesn't end on the note of mankind. It ends on the note of God.
May my days begin and need in God.
