*
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth ,
for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away .
Also there was no more sea .
*
Then I ,
John ,
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 from heaven saying , "
Behold ,
the tabernacle of God is with men ,
and He will dwell with them ,
and they shall be His people .
God Himself will be with them and be their God .
*
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes ;
there shall be no more death ,
nor sorrow ,
nor crying .
There shall be no more pain ,
for the former things have passed away ."
*
Then He who sat on the throne said , "
Behold ,
I make all things new ."
And He said to me , "
Write ,
for these words are true and faithful ."
*
And He said to me , "
It is done !
I am the Alpha and the Omega ,
the Beginning and the End .
I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts .
*
He who overcomes shall inherit all things ,
and I will be his God and he shall be My son .
*
But the cowardly ,
unbelieving ,
abominable ,
murderers ,
sexually immoral ,
sorcerers ,
idolaters ,
and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone ,
which is the second death ."
*
Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and talked with me ,
saying , "
Come ,
I will show you the bride ,
the Lamb '
s wife ."
*
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain ,
and showed me the great city ,
the holy Jerusalem ,
descending out of heaven from God ,
*
having the glory of God .
Her light was like a most precious stone ,
like a jasper stone ,
clear as crystal .
*
Also she had a great and high wall with twelve gates ,
and twelve angels at the gates ,
and names written on them ,
which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel :
*
three gates on the east ,
three gates on the north ,
three gates on the south ,
and three gates on the west .
*
Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations ,
and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb .
*
And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city ,
its gates ,
and its wall .
*
The city is laid out as a square ;
its length is as great as its breadth .
And he measured the city with the reed :
twelve thousand furlongs .
Its length ,
breadth ,
and height are equal .
*
Then he measured its wall :
one hundred and forty-four cubits ,
according to the measure of a man ,
that is ,
of an angel .
*
The construction of its wall was of jasper ;
and the city was pure gold ,
like clear glass .
*
The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones :
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 ,
and the twelfth amethyst .
*
The twelve gates were twelve pearls :
each individual gate was of one pearl .
And the street of the city was pure gold ,
like transparent glass .
*
But I saw no temple in it ,
for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple .
