AICNT REV Chapter 21

◄ REV 21 ► ║ ═ ©

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth. For the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. 2 And I [[John]][fn] saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, descending from {heaven from God,}[fn] prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And [I heard][fn] a loud voice from {the throne}[fn] saying, “Behold, the dwelling of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them [as their God],[fn] 4 and {he}[fn] will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying[, nor pain][fn] anymore, [for][fn] the former things have passed away.”

5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am make all things new.” And he says [[to me]],[fn] “Write, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 And he said to me, “It is done. I {am}[fn] the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts [from the spring][fn] of the water of life freely. 7 The one who conquers will inherit {these}[fn] things, and I will be his God and he will be my son.”

8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, [[the sinful,]][fn] the detestable, the murderers, the sexually immoral, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.

9 And one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls {full}[fn] of the seven last plagues came [[to me]][fn] and spoke with me, saying, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me [[the great]][fn] the holy city, Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 having the glory of God, its light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.

12 It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, [and at the gates twelve angels,][fn] and names {inscribed},[fn] which are [the names][fn] of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel; 13 on the east three gates, [and][fn] on the north three gates, [and] on the south three gates, [and] on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the [twelve][fn] names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And the one speaking with me had a golden [measuring][fn] rod, in order to measure the city and its gates and its wall. 16 The city lies foursquare, and its length is as much as [also][fn] its width. And he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel's measurement.

18 The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass. 19 The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were [twelve][fn] pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, transparent as glass.

22 And I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24 And the nations [[of those being saved]][fn] will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory [[and honor]][fn] into it, 25 and its gates will never be shut by day — and there will be no night there. 26 They will bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it.

27 And nothing unclean will ever enter into it, also [the one][fn] who practices abomination and falsehood, except those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.
