Revelation:21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And I saw a new sky and a new earth ,
for the first sky and the first earth passed away ,
and the sea is no more .
*
And I saw the holy city ,
new Jerusalem ,
coming down out of heaven from God ,
having been prepared as 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 will dwell with them ,
and they will be his people .
And God himself will be with them .
*
And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes .
And there will not be any more death ,
nor grief ,
nor crying ,
nor will there be any more anguish ,
because the former things are gone .
*
And he who sits upon the throne said ,
Behold ,
I make all things new .
And he says to me ,
Write ,
because these words are TRUE and faithful .
*
And he said to me ,
I have become ,
I ,
the Alpha and the Omega ,
the beginning and the end .
I will give to him who is thirsty of the fountain of the water of life freely .
*
He who overcomes will inherit these things ,
and I will be God to him ,
and he will be a son to me .
*
But for the cowards ,
and unbelieving ,
and sinful ,
and abominable ,
and murderers ,
and fornicators ,
and sorcerers ,
and idolaters ,
and all liars ,
their part is in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone ,
which is the second death .
*
And there came one of the seven agents who had the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues ,
and he spoke with me ,
saying ,
Come ,
I will show thee the woman ,
the bride of the Lamb .
*
And he carried me away in spirit to a great and high mountain ,
and showed me the great city ,
holy Jerusalem ,
coming down out of heaven from God ,
*
having the glory of God ,
the light of it similar to a most precious stone ,
like a jasper stone being crystal clear ,
*
which has a great and high wall having twelve gates ,
and at the gates twelve agents ,
and names inscribed ,
which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel :
*
from the east ,
three gates ,
and from the north ,
three gates ,
and from the south ,
three gates ,
and from the west ,
three gates .
*
And the wall of the city having twelve foundations ,
and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb .
*
And he who spoke with me had a measure ,
a golden reed ,
so that he might measure the city ,
and the gates of it ,
and the walls of it .
*
And the city lies foursquare ,
and the length of it is as great as the breadth .
And he measured the city with the reed ,
twelve thousand furlongs ,
the length and the breadth and the height of it being equal .
*
And he measured the wall of it ,
a hundred and forty-four forearms ,
a measure of a man ,
that is ,
of a heavenly agent .
*
And the structure of its wall was jasper .
And the city was pure gold ,
similar to clear glass .
*
And the foundations of the wall of the city adorned with every precious stone .
The first foundation was 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 ,
chrysoprase ,
the eleventh ,
jacinth ,
the twelfth ,
amethyst .
*
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls apiece ,
each one of the gates was of one pearl .
And the thoroughfare of the city was pure gold ,
like transparent glass .
*
And I saw no temple in it ,
for the Lord God Almighty is the temple of it ,
and the Lamb .
*
And the city has no need of the sun ,
nor of the moon ,
so that they might shine in it ,
for the glory of God illuminated it ,
and the light of it is the Lamb .
*
And the nations will walk by the light of it .
And the kings of the earth bring to them the splendor and worth of the nations into it .
*
And the gates of it will ,
no ,
not be locked by day ,
for there will be no night there .
*
And they will bring the splendor and the worth of the nations into it .
*
And there will ,
no ,
not enter into it anything profane ,
and doing an abomination and a lie ,
since they are not written in the Lamb '
s book of life .
