Rev 7:16      Rev 8:1

Revelation 7:17

for the Lamb who stands before the throne will be their shepherd [Ps. 23; John 10]. He will lead them to springs of living water [living water, John 4:14]. God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. [Isa. 25:8]
[It is important to remember that John does not always see exactly what the future glory will look like. Here he reproduces the answer he "hears." Earlier in verse 4, he "heard" who the twelve tribes were. John writes more about what he has seen in his visions than Paul does, see 2 Cor. 12:1–6. Nevertheless, it is clear that he follows the biblical principle that "we live here by faith, not by sight," see 2 Cor. 5:7. John also writes in one of his letters that it is not yet clear what we as God's children will become, but we know with certainty that when he reveals himself, we will become like him, for then we will see him as he truly is, see 1 John 3:2.]
