In the midst of the street thereof (εν μεσω της πλατειας αυτης). Connected probably with the river in verse Revelation 22,1Offenbarung 22,2Offenbarung 21,21

On this side of the river and on that (του ποταμου εντευθεν κα εκειθεν). Εντευθεν occurs as a preposition in Daniel 12,5Johannes 19,18

The tree of life (ξυλον ζωης). For the metaphor see Genesis 1,11Offenbarung 2,7Offenbarung 22,14Lukas 23,31Hesekiel 47,12

Bearing (ποιουν). Neuter active participle of ποιεω (making, producing, as in Matthew 7:17

Twelve manner of fruits (καρπους δωδεκα). "Twelve fruits."

Yielding (αποδιδουν). Neuter active participle of αποδιδωμ, to give back, but some MSS. have αποδιδους (masculine) like ποιων.

For the healing of the nations (εις θεραπειαν των εθνων). Spiritual healing, of course, as leaves (φυλλα) are often used for obtaining medicines. Here again the problem occurs whether this picture is heaven before the judgment or afterwards. Charles distinguishes sharply between the Heavenly City for the millennial reign and the New Jerusalem that descends from heaven after the judgment. Charles rearranges these chapters to suit his theory. But chronology is precarious here.
