42 A Sketch of the Christian Experience and Views of Ellen G. White
And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice
to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle and reap, for the time
is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.
And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth, and
the earth was reaped.
And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he
also having a sharp sickle.

Chap. 14:1
.
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
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was
there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded
her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing
of the nations.
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.
And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.
And there shall be no night there: and they need no candle, neither
light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light; and they shall
reign for ever and ever.
Chap. 22:1-5
