REVELATION
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, 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.
22. verse 6. And he said unto me: These sayings are faithful and true: and
the Lord God of the Holy Prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants
the things which must shortly be done.
8. And I John, saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard an
seen I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me
these things.
