   [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.   
      
   The New Jerusalem   
      
   9 (Rev 19:7; 21:2) One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full   
   of the seven last plagues came to me and said to me,   
   "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."   
   10 (Rev 17:3; 1:10) And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great   
   and high mountain, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, descending   
   out of heaven from God,   
   11 (Rev 4:6; 22:5) having the glory of God, her light like a most   
   precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.   
   12 (Eze 48:31-34; Rev 21:25) It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates,   
   and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve   
   tribes of the sons of Israel were written:   
   13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates   
   on the south, and three gates on the west.   
   14 (Heb 11:10; Mt 16:18) The wall of the city had twelve foundations,   
   and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.   
   15 He who talked with me had a golden rod to measure the city   
   and its gates and wall. 16The city lies as a square,   
   its length as long as its width. He measured the city with the rod:   
   one thousand four hundred miles.(Gk. 12,000 stadia, or 2,200 kilometers.)   
   Its length and breadth and height are equal.   
   17 He then measured its wall: two hundred feet(144 cubits, or 65 meters.)   
   by the measurement of a man, that is, of an angel.   
   18 (Rev 21:11; 21:21) The wall was built of jasper and the city was pure gold,   
   as clear as glass.   
   19 (Isa 54:11-12) The foundations of the wall of the city were garnished   
   with all kinds of precious jewels. The first foundation was jasper;   
   the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;   
   20 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite;   
   the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase;   
   the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.   
   21 (Rev 21:18; 17:4; 22:2) The twelve gates were twelve pearls,   
   each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city   
   was pure gold, transparent as glass.   
   22 (Jn 4:23; Rev 1:8) I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty   
   and the Lamb are its temple.   
   23 (Rev 21:11; Isa 60:19-20; Rev 22:5) The city has no need of sun   
   or moon to shine in it, for the glory of God is its light,   
   and its lamp is the Lamb.   
   24 (Rev 22:2) And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light,   
   and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into it.   
   25 (Isa 60:11; Zec 14:7) Its gates shall never be shut by day, for there   
   shall be no night there. 26They shall bring into it the glory and the honor   
   of the nations.   
   27 (Isa 52:1; Joel 3:17) No unclean thing shall ever enter it, nor shall anyone   
   who commits abomination or falsehood, but only those whose names are written   
   in the Lamb's Book of Life.   
      
   [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.   
      
   Revelation 22   
      
   1 (Zec 14:8; Rev 7:17) Then he showed me a pure river of the water of life,   
   clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb   
   2 (Rev 2:7; Ge 2:9) in the middle of its street. On each side of the river   
   was the tree of life, which bore twelve kinds of fruit,   
   yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were   
   for the healing of the nations.   
   3 (Zec 14:11; Ps 17:15) There shall be no more curse. The throne of God   
   and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him.   
   4 (Mt 5:8; Rev 14:1) They shall see His face, and His name shall   
   be on their foreheads.
