“For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.”
For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes — the Lamb becomes shepherd (poimainō, Psalm 23 alluded to), guiding the redeemed to living water (udōr zōēs, eternal life's source) and divine comfort. God's act of wiping tears (exaleiphō, Isaiah 25:8) signals the end of mourning and sorrow, the consummation of redemption's comfort.
