1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the
former heaven and the former earth passed away, and
there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city,
new Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I
heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold the
tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell
among them, and they shall be his people, and God
himself, even their God, will be with them.
4 And God
will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there
shall be death no more, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor note
any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make
all things new. And He said to me, Write: for these
words are true and note faithful.
6 And He said to me, It is
done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end: I will give to him that is athirst of the fountain
of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit
all things, and I will be a God to him, and he shall
be to me a son.
8 But the fearful, and note faithless, and
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars shall have their
part in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone;
which is the second death.
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels,
who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues,
and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will
shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he carried
me away in spirit to a great and high mountain, and he
shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending
out of heaven from God, having the glory of God:
11
and her note light was like a most precious stone, even as a
Jasper-stone resembling crystal:
12 having also a great and
high wall, note with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve
angels; and there were names inscribed, which are
the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
13 On
the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the
south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And
the wall of the city note had twelve foundations, and on
-- --
them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And
he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure
the city, and it's gates, and it's wall.
16 And the city
note was four-square, note it's length being as much as the
breadth: and he measured the city with the reed note
twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth
and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the
wall of it an hundred forty four cubits according to the
measure of a man, note for such was that of the angel.
18 And the structure of its wall was of Jasper, and the city
pure gold, like note transparent glass.
19 And the foundations
of the wall of the city were set off note each with precious
stones: the first foundation a jasper, the second sapphire,
the third chalcedony,
20 the fourth an emerald, the fifth
sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the
eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprasus, the
eleventh jacinth, the twelfth an amethyst.
21 And the
twelve gates were twelve pearls; note each of the gates was
of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold
like note resplendent glass.
22 And I saw no temple in it:
for the Lord God almighty, and the Lamb, are the
temple of it.
23 And the city hath no need of the sun,
nor of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God
enlighteneth it, and the Lamb is it's note light.
24 And the
nations of those that are saved shall walk in the light of
it: and the kings of the earth bring their glory and
their honor into it.
25 And the gates of it are not to be
shut by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And
they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into
it.
27 And nothing shall enter into it that defileth, and
practiseth abomination and note falshood: but those only
who are written in the Lamb's book of life.
