REVELATION CHAPTER 21
1And
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.
2And
I John saw
the holy city,
new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of
Heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3And
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.
4And
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.
5And
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.
6And
he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and
Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give
unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the
water of life freely.
7He
that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8But
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.
9And
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.
10And
he carried me away in the spirit to a great and
high mountain, and
shewed me that
great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out
of heaven from God,
11Having
the glory of God: and
her light was
like unto a stone most precious, even like a
jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12And
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 Israel:
13On
the east three gates; on the north three gates;
on the south three gates; and on the west three
gates.
14And
the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and
in them the names of the twelve apostles of the
Lamb.
15And
he that talked with me had a golden reed to
measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the
wall thereof.
16And
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.
17And
he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and
forty and four cubits, according to the measure
of a man, that is, of the angel.
18And
the building of the wall of it was of jasper:
and the city was pure gold, like unto clear
glass.
19And
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;
20The
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.
21And
the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every
several gate was of one pearl: and the street of
the city was pure gold, as it were transparent
glass.
22And
I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23And
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.
24And
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.
25And
the gates
of it shall not be shut at all by day:
for there
shall be no night there.
26And
they shall bring the glory and honour of the
nations into it.
27And
there shall in no wise enter into it any thing
that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh
abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are
written in the Lamb's book of life.
