Hello to you, I do not except anyone to believe this view which is considered the view of Fulfillment. However, if you are curious to learn about what this is please feel free to explore these explanations below if you would like to, may God guide, and may God bless you with grace and peace!
Revelation 22
Young's Literal Translation
Dispensationalists teach this is a future event and water will literally flow from material Jerusalem! This passage speaks of water coming from the new Jerusalem, which is from above, not the former which is from below, and is a fulfillment of thewWords of our Lord to the Woman at the well when He said in John 4:13, "Whoever drinks of this [well] water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of thew water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water sprinting up into everlasting life," and again, 'If anyone thirsts let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water'" [see John 7:37-38] [ see Ezekiel 47:1; Zechariah 14:8]
Take note that the Revelation depiction speaks to the environs of the New Jerusalem, and therefore all of the application is spiritual. With women still suffering the curse of pain in child-birth, men still have to earn their bread by the sweat of their brow and physical death remaining is a reality ,but in the Spirit all the elements of the case [especially spirit death] are eliminated and God is victorious.
[see Genesis 2:9; Ezekiel 47:12; Revelation 2:7; Revelation 21:21; Revelation 21:24]
John means accursed persons are absent, not that the curse no longer exists. John has just learned at the end of his visionary tour leading through the former age into the New that certain persons will be excluded from from the New Jerusalem. This is pointed out in the previous chapter [verse 8] and is repeated here in chapter 22 at verse 27 where it says, "and nothing unclean and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life."
Now as John looks inside the new Jerusalem, he an happily report that this is true and the Greek supports it. "Every cursed person will not be there," which he will readdress in Revelation 22:15. It's worth the time to compare the contents of Zechariah 14 with Revelation chapters 21-22.
Verse 3 - (4) - Note "throne" is singular but it is for Yahweh and the Lamb, who are now One as the Lord God Almighty. Also not that YHWH, and the Lamb are described as Him, not they.
Verse 3 - (5) One the major differences between those in the new Jerusalem and those outside of it will be those within will desire to worship the true and living God while those outside of it have never been interested in such devotion.
[see Ezekiel 48:35; Zechariah 14:11]

Revelation 22
Young's Literal Translation
Verse 1(1) - John's vision of the river of life flowing through the New Jerusalem is very similar to Zechariah's vision, which describes Jerusalem is the time of the day of the Lord in Chapter 14:8, saying, "And in that day it shall be that living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and half of them toward the western; In both summer and winter it shall occur."
Dispensationalists teach this is a future event and water will literally flow from material Jerusalem! This passage speaks of water coming from the new Jerusalem, which is from above, not the former which is from below, and is a fulfillment of thewWords of our Lord to the Woman at the well when He said in John 4:13, "Whoever drinks of this [well] water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of thew water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water sprinting up into everlasting life," and again, 'If anyone thirsts let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water'" [see John 7:37-38] [ see Ezekiel 47:1; Zechariah 14:8]
Verse 2 (2) - This is remarkably similar to Ezekiel's vision of a river flowing from the threshold of the temple in Ezekiel 47:1-12. John's reference to "the tree of life" takes us back to Adam and Eve, the Garden of Eden, and to the tree of life that was there. [see Genesis 2:9 and Genesis 3:22-24]. In the Genesis account, Satan reigns. At the end of that age, Satan is bound. In Genesis, a cruise is given. In Revelation there is no more curse.
Take note that the Revelation depiction speaks to the environs of the New Jerusalem, and therefore all of the application is spiritual. With women still suffering the curse of pain in child-birth, men still have to earn their bread by the sweat of their brow and physical death remaining is a reality ,but in the Spirit all the elements of the case [especially spirit death] are eliminated and God is victorious.
[see Genesis 2:9; Ezekiel 47:12; Revelation 2:7; Revelation 21:21; Revelation 21:24]
Verse 3 - (3) Perhaps this is another reference to the Garden of Eden and the curses spoken over the serpent and over humanity, or may this is a reference to the curse of the law, which was removed in Christ [Galatians 3:10-13]. Most Scholars believe verse three and the curse reference parallels Zechariah 14:11/ By looking at the LXX, we see a strong similarity between the two statements.
John means accursed persons are absent, not that the curse no longer exists. John has just learned at the end of his visionary tour leading through the former age into the New that certain persons will be excluded from from the New Jerusalem. This is pointed out in the previous chapter [verse 8] and is repeated here in chapter 22 at verse 27 where it says, "and nothing unclean and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life."
