Revelation 21: 1 to Revelation 21: 27
21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for
the first heaven
and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more
sea.
2 And I John saw
the holy city, new Je-ru’-sa-lem, coming down
from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her
husband.
3 And I heard a
great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the
tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them,
and
they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with
them, and
be their God.
4 And God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall
there be any more pain: for the former things are passed
away.
5 And he that sat
upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things
new. And he said unto
me, Write: for these words are true and
faithful.
6 And he said unto
me, It is done. I am Al’-pha and O-me’-ga,
the beginning and the end.
I will give unto him that is athirst of
the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that
overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his
God, and he shall be
my son.
8 But the fearful,
and unbelieving, and the abominable, and
murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters,
and
all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth
with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death.
9 And there came
unto me one of the seven angels which had the
seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with
me, saying,
Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
10 And he carried
me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain,
and shewed me that great city, the holy Je-ru’-sa-lem,
descending
out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory
of God: and her light was like unto a stone most
precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And had a wall
great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the
gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names
of the twelve tribes of the children of Is’-ra-el:
13 On the east
three gates; on the north three gates; on the south
three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of
the city had twelve foundations, and in them the
names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he that
talked with me had a golden reed to measure the
city, and the gates thereof, and the wall therof.
16 And the city
lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the
breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve
thousand
furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it
are equal.
17 And he measured
the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and
four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of
the angel.
18 And the building
of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was
pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 And the
foundations of the wall of the city were
garnished with
all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the
second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an
emerald;
20 The fifth,
sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte;
the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a
chrysoprasus; the
eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 And the twelve
gates were twelve pearls: every several
gate
was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold,
as it was
transparent glass.
22 And I saw no
temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and
the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had
no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to
shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the
Lamb is the
light thereof.
24 And the nations
of them which are saved shall walk in the light
of it: and the kings
of the earth do bring their glory and honour
into it.
25 And the gates of
it shall not be shut at all by day: for there
shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring
the glory and honour of the nations into
it.
27 And there shall
in no wise enter into it anything that defileth,
neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but
they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
