Bible Fellowship Group Study Questions:

1. How does the imagery of the river of the water of life and the tree of life in Revelation 22:1-2 reflect the restoration of life as described in the new heaven and new earth?
2. In what ways does the concept of priesthood being restored in Revelation 22:3-4 connect with the believer's role as priests before God, as emphasized in 1 Peter 2:9?
3. According to Revelation 22:5, what does it mean that "night will be no more" and that "the Lord God will be their light"? 
4. How does the promise of eternal reign with Christ impact our understanding of the Christian life and our responsibilities as believers in the present age?
5. Reflecting on Ephesians 2:1-10, how does our present experience of being seated with Christ in the heavenly places inform our understanding of reigning with Him in the age to come?
6. Considering the progressive heightening of our priesthood and kingship from Adam to Christ and from Israel to the Church, how should this influence our daily walk as followers of Christ, both individually and corporately?
