Revelation 21:1-27
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 holy
city, new Jerusalem, coming down 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 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.
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.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and
the end. I will give unto 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 his God, and
he shall be my son. |
8 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 brimstone: 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 bride, 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,
chrysolite; 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.
