Chapter 21 |
1 | And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for
the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no
more sea. |
| 2
| And I John saw the aholy
city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a
bride adorned for her 1husband.

3 |
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 shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. |
4 |
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Isa 25:8
|
5 | And he that sat
upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto
me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. |
|
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the aend. I will give unto him
that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. |
7 |
He that overcometh shall 1inherit all things; and I will be
his God, and he shall be my son.

|
| But the
fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and
whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have
their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
abrimstone: which is the second death. |
9 | And there came
unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the
seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew
thee the 1bride, the Lamb's wife.

10 |
And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and
shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven
from God, |
11 | Having
the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious,
even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; |
12 |
And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve
angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of
the children 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 had twelve
foundations, and in 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 the gates
thereof, and the wall thereof. |
16
| And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the
breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand
furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. |
17 |
And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits,
according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. |
18 | And the building of the wall of it was of
jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. |
19 | And the foundations of the wall of the
city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first
foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony;
the fourth, an emerald; |
20 | The fifth,
sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth,
beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a
jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. |
21 | And
the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one
pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent
glass. |
22 |
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are
the temple of it. |
23 | And the city had no need of the sun,
neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten
it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. |
24 |
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it:
and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. |
25 |
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be
no night there. |
26 | And they shall bring the glory and honour
of the nations into it. |
27 |
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth,
neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which
are written in the Lamb's book of life. |
