The New Jerusalem

21Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone.G2532G1492G2537G3772G2532G2537G1093G1063G4413G3772G2532G4413G1093G3928G2532G2076G3756G2089G2281 2And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.G2532G1473G2491G1492G40G4172G2537G2419G2597G575G2316G1537G3772G2090G5613G3565G2885G846G435 3I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, God's home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.G2532G191G3173G5456G1537G3772G3004G2400G4633G2316G3326G444G2532G4637G3326G846G2532G846G2071G846G2992G2532G2316G846G2071G3326G846G846G2316 4He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever."G2532G2316G1813G3956G1144G575G846G3788G2532G2071G3756G2089G2288G3777G3997G3777G2906G3777G3756G2071G2089G4192G3754G4413G565 5And the one sitting on the throne said, "Look, I am making everything new!" And then he said to me, "Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true."G2532G2521G1909G2362G2036G2400G4160G3956G2537G2532G3004G3427G1125G3754G3778G3056G1526G228G2532G4103 6And he also said, "It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life.G2532G2036G3427G1096G1473G1510G1G2532G5598G746G2532G5056G1473G1325G1372G1537G4077G5204G2222G1432 7All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.G3528G2816G3956G2532G2071G846G2316G2532G846G2071G3427G5207 8"But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars—their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."G1161G1169G2532G571G2532G948G2532G5406G2532G4205G2532G5332G2532G1496G2532G3956G5571G846G3313G1722G3041G3588G2545G4442G2532G2303G3603G1208G2288 9Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."G2532G2064G4314G3165G1520G2033G32G3588G2192G2033G5357G1073G2033G2078G4127G2532G2980G3326G1700G3004G1204G1166G4671G3565G721G1135 10So he took me in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.G2532G667G3165G667G1722G4151G1909G3173G2532G5308G3735G2532G1166G3427G3173G4172G40G2419G2597G1537G3772G575G2316 11It shone with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious stone—like jasper as clear as crystal.G2192G1391G2316G2532G846G5458G3664G3037G5093G5613G2393G3037G2929 12The city wall was broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates.G5037G2192G5038G3173G2532G5308G2192G1427G4440G2532G1909G4440G1427G32G2532G3686G1924G3739G2076G1427G5443G5207G2474 13There were three gates on each side—east, north, south, and west.G575G395G5140G4440G575G1005G5140G4440G575G3558G5140G4440G2532G575G1424G5140G4440 14The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.G2532G5038G4172G2192G1427G2310G2532G1722G846G3686G1427G652G721 15The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.G2532G2980G3326G1700G2192G5552G2563G2443G3354G4172G2532G4440G846G2532G5038G846 16When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles.G2532G4172G2749G5068G2532G3372G846G2076G5118G3745G2532G4114G2532G3354G4172G2563G1909G1427G5505G4712G3372G2532G4114G2532G5311G846G2076G2470 17Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (according to the human standard used by the angel).G2532G3354G5038G846G1540G5062G5064G4083G3358G444G3603G32 18The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.G2532G1739G5038G846G2258G2393G2532G4172G2513G5553G3664G2513G5194 19The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve precious stones. the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,G2532G2310G5038G4172G2885G3956G5093G3037G4413G2310G2393G1208G4552G5154G5472G5067G4665 20the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.G3991G4557G1623G4556G1442G5555G3590G969G1766G5116G1182G5556G1734G5192G1428G271 21The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.G2532G1427G4440G1427G3135G1538G303G1520G4440G2258G1537G1520G3135G2532G4113G4172G2513G5553G5613G1307G5194 22I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.G2532G1492G3756G3485G1722G846G1063G2962G2316G3841G2532G721G2076G3485G846 23And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light.G2532G4172G2192G3756G5532G2246G3761G4582G2443G5316G1722G846G1063G1391G2316G5461G846G2532G721G3088G846 24The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory.G2532G1484G4982G4043G1722G5457G846G2532G935G1093G5342G846G1391G2532G5092G1519G846 25Its gates will never be closed at the end of day because there is no night there.G2532G4440G846G2808G3364G2808G3364G2250G1063G2071G3756G3571G1563 26And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city.G2532G5342G1391G2532G5092G1484G1519G846 27Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.G2532G1525G3364G1525G1519G846G3956G2840G2532G4160G946G2532G5579G1508G1125G1722G721G975G2222

22Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.G2532G1166G3427G2513G4215G5204G2222G2986G5613G2930G1607G1537G2362G2316G2532G721 2It flowed down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.G1722G3319G4113G846G2532G2532G1782G1782G4215G3586G2222G4160G1427G2590G591G846G2590G2596G1538G1520G3376G2532G5444G3586G1519G2322G1484 3No longer will there be a curse upon anything. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him.G2532G2071G3756G2089G3956G2652G2532G2362G2316G2532G721G2071G1722G846G2532G846G1401G3000G846 4And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads.G2532G3700G846G4383G2532G846G3686G1909G846G3359 5And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever.G2532G2071G3756G3571G1563G2532G5532G3756G3088G2192G2532G5457G2246G3754G2962G2316G5461G846G5461G2532G936G1519G165G165 6Then the angel said to me, "Everything you have heard and seen is trustworthy and true. The Lord God, who inspires his prophets, has sent his angel to tell his servants what will happen soon."G2532G2036G3427G3778G3056G4103G2532G228G2532G2962G2316G40G4396G649G846G32G1166G846G1401G3739G1163G1722G5034G1096

Jesus Is Coming

7"Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book."G2400G2064G5035G3107G5083G3056G4394G5127G975 8I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me.G2532G1473G2491G991G5023G2532G191G2532G3753G191G2532G991G4098G4352G1715G4228G32G3588G1166G3427G5023 9But he said, "No, don't worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book. Worship only God!"G2532G3004G3427G3708G3361G1063G1510G4675G4889G2532G4675G80G4396G2532G5083G3056G5127G975G4352G2316 10Then he instructed me, "Do not seal up the prophetic words in this book, for the time is near.G2532G3004G3427G4972G3361G3056G4394G5127G975G3754G2540G2076G1451 11Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the one who is holy continue to be holy."G91G91G2089G2532G4510G4510G2089G2532G1342G1344G2089G2532G40G37G2089 12"Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds.G2532G2400G2064G5035G2532G3450G3408G3326G1700G591G1538G5613G846G2041G2071 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."G1473G1510G1G2532G5598G746G2532G5056G4413G2532G2078 14Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life.G3107G4160G846G1785G2443G846G2071G1849G1909G3586G2222G2532G1525G4440G1519G4172 15Outside the city are the dogs—the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie.G1161G1854G2965G2532G5333G2532G4205G2532G5406G2532G1496G2532G3956G5368G2532G4160G5579 16"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright morning star."G1473G2424G3992G3450G32G3140G5213G5023G1909G1577G1473G1510G4491G2532G1085G1138G2986G2532G3720G792 17The Spirit and the bride say, "Come." Let anyone who hears this say, "Come." Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.G2532G4151G2532G3565G3004G2064G2532G191G2036G2064G2532G1372G2064G2532G2309G2983G5204G2222G1432 18And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book.G1063G4828G3956G191G3056G4394G5127G975G1437G5100G2007G4314G5023G2316G2007G1909G846G4127G1125G1722G5129G975 19And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person's share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.G2532G1437G5100G851G575G3056G976G5129G4394G2316G851G846G3313G575G976G2222G2532G1537G40G4172G2532G1125G1722G5026G975 20He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon!" Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!G3140G5023G3004G3483G2064G5035G281G3483G2064G2962G2424 21May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's holy people.G5485G2257G2962G2424G5547G3326G5216G3956G281

48[A song. A psalm of the descendants of Korah.] How great is the LORD, how deserving of praise, in the city of our God, which sits on his holy mountain!H7892H4210H1121H7141H1419H3068H3966H1984H5892H430H2022H6944 2It is high and magnificent; the whole earth rejoices to see it! Mount Zion, the holy mountain, is the city of the great King!H3303H5131H4885H776H2022H6726H3411H6828H7151H7227H4428 3God himself is in Jerusalem's towers, revealing himself as its defender.H430H3045H759H4869 4The kings of the earth joined forces and advanced against the city.H4428H3259H5674H3162 5But when they saw it, they were stunned; they were terrified and ran away.H7200H8539H926H2648 6They were gripped with terror and writhed in pain like a woman in labor.H7461H270H2427H3205 7You destroyed them like the mighty ships of Tarshish shattered by a powerful east wind.H7665H591H8659H6921H7307 8We had heard of the city's glory, but now we have seen it ourselves—the city of the LORD of Heaven's Armies. It is the city of our God; he will make it safe forever. InterludeH8085H7200H5892H3068H6635H5892H430H430H3559H5704H5769H5542 9O God, we meditate on your unfailing love as we worship in your Temple.H1819H2617H430H7130H1964 10As your name deserves, O God, you will be praised to the ends of the earth. Your strong right hand is filled with victory.H8034H430H8416H7099H776H3225H4390H6664 11Let the people on Mount Zion rejoice. Let all the towns of Judah be glad because of your justice.H2022H6726H8055H1323H3063H1523H4941 12Go, inspect the city of Jerusalem. Walk around and count the many towers.H5437H6726H5362H5608H4026 13Take note of the fortified walls, and tour all the citadels, that you may describe them to future generations.H7896H3820H2430H6448H759H5608H1755H314 14For that is what God is like. He is our God forever and ever, and he will guide us until we die.H430H430H5769H5703H5090H4192
