Revelation
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 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[/color] 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.
