Revelation:21:1-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And I saw a new heaven ,
and a new earth ;
for the former heaven and the former earth were passed away :
and the sea was no more .
*
And I ,
John ,
saw the holy city ,
the New Jerusalem ,
descending from God ,
out of heaven ,
prepared like a bride adorned for her husband .
*
And I heard a great voice out of heaven ,
saying ,
Behold ,
the tabernacle of God is with men ,
and he shall pitch his tent among them ,
and they shall be his people ,
and God himself shall be among them-their God .
*
And he shall away wipe every tear from their eyes ;
and death shall be no more ,
nor grief ,
nor crying ;
nor shall there be any more pain :
for the former things are passed away .
*
And he that sat upon the throne ,
said ,
Behold ,
I make all things new .
And he said ,
Write ,
for these are true and faithful words .
*
And he said to me ,
It is done .
I am the Alpha and the Omega ,
the Beginning and the End :
I will give to him that is athirst ,
of the fountain of the water of life freely .
*
The conqueror shall inherit all things :
and I will be to him a God ,
and he shall be to me my son .
*
But ,
as for the cowards ,
and unbelieving ,
and the abominable ,
and murderers ,
and prostitutes ,
and sorcerers ,
and idolaters ,
and all liars-their part shall be in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone ,
which is the second death .
*
And there came one of the seven angels ,
who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues ;
and spoke with me ,
saying ,
Come ,
and I will show you the bride ,
the Lamb '
s wife .
*
And he brought me ,
in the Spirit ,
to a great and high mountain ;
and he showed me the city ,
the holy Jerusalem ,
coming down out of heaven from God ,
*
having the glory of God ; (
its luster was like that of a precious gem ,
even as a jasper stone ,
clear as crystal ,)
*
having a great and high wall ;
having also twelve gates ,
and over the gates twelve angels ,
and names written upon them ,
which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel :
*
on the east ,
three gates ;
on the north ,
three gates ;
and on the south ,
three gates ;
and on the west ,
three gates .
*
And the wall of the city had twelve foundations ;
and on them the names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb .
*
And he that spoke with me ,
had a golden reed ,
that he might measure the city ,
and its gates and wall .
*
And the city is square ,
and its length is equal to its breadth :
and he measured the city with the reed ,
twelve thousand furlongs :
and its length and its breadth ,
and its height are equal .
*
And he measured its wall ,
one hundred and forty-four cubits ,
according to the measure of a man ,
that is ,
of an angel .
*
And the wall was built of jasper ,
and the city was pure gold ,
like refined glass .
*
And the foundations of the walls of the city ,
were adorned with every precious stone .
The first foundation is jasper ;
the second ,
sapphire ;
the third ,
chalcedony ;
the fourth ,
emerald ;
*
the fifth ,
sardonyx ;
the sixth ,
sardius ;
the seventh ,
chrysolite ;
the eighth ,
beryl ;
the ninth ,
topaz ;
the tenth ,
chrysoprasus ;
the eleventh ,
hyacinth ;
and the twelfth ,
amethyst .
*
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls :
each of the gates was of one pearl .
And the street of the city was pure gold ,
like transparent glass .
*
And I saw no temple in it ,
for the Lord God Almighty ,
and the Lamb ,
are the temple of it .
