Revelation:21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth ;
for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away ,
and the sea was no more .
*
And I saw the holy city ,
new Jerusalem ,
coming down out of heaven from God ,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband .
*
And I heard a loud voice out of the throne ,
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 ,
their God ;
*
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes ,
and death shall be no more ,
neither shall mourning ,
nor crying ,
nor pain he any more ;
for the former things are passed away .
*
And he that sat upon the throne said ,
Behold ,
I make all things new .
And he saith ,
Write ;
for these words are faithful and true .
*
And he said to me ,
All things are accomplished .
I am the Alpha and the Omega ,
the beginning and the end .
To him that thirsteth I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely .
*
He that overcometh shall inherit these things ,
and I will be his God ,
and he shall be my son .
*
But the cowardly ,
and unbelieving ,
and the polluted with abominations ,
and murderers ,
and fornicators ,
and sorcerers ,
and idolaters ,
and all the liars ,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone ;
which is the second death .
*
And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven vials filled with the seven last plagues ,
and talked with me ,
saying ,
Come hither ;
I will show thee the bride ,
the wife of the Lamb .
*
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain ,
and showed me the holy city ,
Jerusalem ,
coming down out of heaven from God ,
*
having the glory of God ;
her light was like to a most precious stone ,
as it were a jasper stone ,
clear as crystal ;
*
having a wall great and high ;
having twelve gates ,
and at the gates twelve angels ,
and names written thereon ,
which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel ;
*
on the east ,
three gates ;
and 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 foundation
stones ,
and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb .
*
And he who talked with me had for a measure a golden reed ,
to measure the city ,
and the gates thereof ,
and the wall thereof .
*
And the city lieth four
square ,
and its length is as great as its breadth .
And he measured the city with the reed ,
twelve thousand furlongs .
The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal .
*
And he measured the wall thereof ,
a hundred and forty
four cubits ,
according to a man
s measure ,
which is that of an angel .
*
And the material of its wall was jasper ;
and the city was of pure gold ,
like to clear glass .
*
The foundation
stones of the wall of the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones :
the first foundation
stone 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 ,
chrysoprasus ;
the eleventh ,
hyacinth ;
the twelfth ,
amethyst .
*
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls ;
every several gate was of one pearl .
And the street of the city was pure gold ,
like transparent glass .
*
And I saw no temple therein ;
for the Lord God Almighty is its temple ,
and the Lamb .
*
And the city hath no need of the sun ,
nor of the moon ,
to shine upon it ;
for the glory of God lightened it ,
and the Lamb is the light thereof .
*
And the nations will walk by the light of it ;
and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it ;
*
and the gates of it shall not be shut by day ,
for there will be no night there ;
*
and they will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it .
*
And there shall not enter into it anything unclean ,
or that worketh abomination and falsehood ;
but only they that are written in the Lamb
s book of life .
