Revelation 21

(Isaiah 65:17–25)

1ThenG2532 I sawG3708 a newG2537 heavenG3772 andG2532 a newG2537 earthG1093,1 forG1063 theG3588 firstG4413 heavenG3772 andG2532 earthG1093 had passed awayG565, andG2532 theG3588 seaG2281 wasG1510 noG3756 moreG2089. 2I sawG3708 theG3588 holyG40 cityG4172, the newG2537 JerusalemG2419, coming downG2597 out ofG1537 heavenG3772 fromG575 GodG2316, preparedG2090 asG5613 a brideG3565 adornedG2885 forG3588 herG846 husbandG435.

3AndG2532 I heardG191 a loudG3173 voiceG5456 fromG1537 theG3588 throneG2362 sayingG3004:

5AndG2532 theG3588 One seatedG2521 onG1909 theG3588 throneG2362 saidG2036, “BeholdG2400, I makeG4160 all thingsG3956 newG2537.” ThenG2532 He saidG3004, “Write this downG1125, forG3754 theseG3778 wordsG3056 areG1510 faithfulG4103 andG2532 trueG228.” 6AndG2532 He toldG2036 meG1473, “It is doneG1096! IG1473 amG1510 theG3588 AlphaG1 andG2532 theG3588 OmegaG5598, theG3588 BeginningG746 andG2532 theG3588 EndG5056. To theG3588 thirstyG1372 IG1473 will giveG1325 freelyG1432 fromG1537 theG3588 springG4077 of theG3588 waterG5204 of lifeG2222. 7TheG3588 one who overcomesG3528 will inheritG2816 all thingsG3778, andG2532 I will beG1510 hisG846 GodG2316, andG2532 heG846 will beG1510 MyG1473 sonG5207.

8ButG1161 to the cowardlyG1169 andG2532 unbelievingG571 andG2532 abominableG948 andG2532 murderersG5406 andG2532 sexually immoralG4205 andG2532 sorcerersG5333 andG2532 idolatersG1496 andG2532 allG3956 liarsG5571, theirG846 placeG3313 will be inG1722 theG3588 lakeG3041 thatG3588 burnsG2545 with fireG4442 andG2532 sulfurG2303. ThisG3739 isG1510 theG3588 secondG1208 deathG2288.”

The New Jerusalem

9ThenG2532 oneG1520 ofG1537 theG3588 sevenG2033 angelsG32 withG2192 theG3588 sevenG2033 bowlsG5357 fullG1073 of theG3588 sevenG2033 finalG2078 plaguesG4127 cameG2064 andG2532 saidG2980 toG3326 meG1473, “ComeG1204, I will showG1166 youG4771 theG3588 brideG3565, theG3588 wifeG1135 of theG3588 LambG721.”

10AndG2532 he carried me awayG667G1473 inG1722 the SpiritG4151 toG1909 a mountainG3735 greatG3173 andG2532 highG5308, andG2532 showedG1166 meG1473 theG3588 holyG40 cityG4172 of JerusalemG2419 coming downG2597 out ofG1537 heavenG3772 fromG575 GodG2316, 11shining withG2192 theG3588 gloryG1391 of GodG2316. ItsG846 radianceG5458 was likeG3664 a most preciousG5093 jewelG3037, likeG5613 a jasperG2393G3037, as clear as crystalG2929. 12The city hadG2192 a greatG3173 andG2532 highG5308 wallG5038 withG2192 twelveG1427 gatesG4440 inscribedG2532G1924 with theG3588 namesG3686 of theG3588 twelveG1427 tribesG5443 of IsraelG2474, andG2532 twelveG1427 angelsG32 atG1909 theG3588 gatesG4440. 13There were threeG5140 gatesG4440 onG575 the eastG395, threeG5140 onG575 the northG1005, threeG5140 onG575 the southG3558, andG2532 threeG5140 onG575 the westG1424. 14TheG3588 wallG5038 of theG3588 cityG4172 hadG2192 twelveG1427 foundationsG2310 bearing the namesG3686 of theG3588 twelveG1427 apostlesG652 of theG3588 LambG721.

TheG3588 angel who spokeG2980 withG3326 meG1473 hadG2192 a goldenG5552 measuringG3358 rodG2563 toG2443 measureG3354 theG3588 cityG4172 andG2532 itsG846 gatesG4440 andG2532 wallsG5038. 16TheG3588 cityG4172 liesG2749 foursquareG5068, withG2532 its widthG4114 the same asG3745 itsG846 lengthG3372. AndG2532 he measuredG3354 theG3588 cityG4172 with theG3588 rodG2563, and all its dimensions wereG1510 equalG2470—12,000G1427G5505 stadiaG47124 inG3588 lengthG3372 andG2532 widthG4114 andG2532 heightG5311. 17AndG2532 he measuredG3354 itsG846 wallG5038 to be 144G1540G5062G5064 cubitsG4083,5 by the humanG444 measureG3358 the angelG32 wasG1510 using.

18

TheG3588 wallG5038 was made ofG1739 jasperG2393, andG2532 theG3588 cityG4172 itself of pureG2513 goldG5553, asG3664 pure asG2513 glassG5194. 19TheG3588 foundationsG2310 of theG3588 cityG4172 wallsG5038 were adornedG2885 with every kind ofG3956 preciousG5093 stoneG3037:

TheG3588 firstG4413 foundationG2310 was jasperG2393, theG3588 secondG1208 sapphireG4552, theG3588 thirdG5154 chalcedonyG5472, theG3588 fourthG5067 emeraldG4665, 20theG3588 fifthG3991 sardonyxG4557, theG3588 sixthG1623 carnelianG4556, theG3588 seventhG1442 chrysoliteG5555, theG3588 eighthG3590 berylG969, theG3588 ninthG1766 topazG5116, theG3588 tenthG1182 chrysopraseG5556, theG3588 eleventhG1734 jacinthG5192, and theG3588 twelfthG1428 amethystG271.

21AndG2532 theG3588 twelveG1427 gatesG4440 were twelveG1427 pearlsG3135, with eachG1538 gateG4440 consistingG303G1510 ofG1537 a singleG1520 pearlG3135. TheG3588 main streetG4113 of theG3588 cityG4172 was pureG2513 goldG5553, asG5613 clearG1306 as glassG5194.

22But I sawG3708 noG3756 templeG3485 inG1722 the city, becauseG1063 theG3588 LordG2962 GodG2316 AlmightyG3841 andG2532 theG3588 LambG721 areG1510 itsG846 templeG3485. 23AndG2532 theG3588 cityG4172 hasG2192 noG3756 needG5532 ofG3588 sunG2246 or moonG4582 toG2443 shineG5316 on itG846, becauseG1063 theG3588 gloryG1391 of GodG2316 illuminatesG5461 the city, andG2532 theG3588 LambG721 is itsG846 lampG3088. 24ByG1223 itsG846 lightG5457 theG3588 nationsG1484 will walkG4043, andG2532 intoG1519 itG846 theG3588 kingsG935 of theG3588 earthG1093 will bringG5342 theirG846 gloryG1391.6 25ItsG846 gatesG4440 will never be shutG3756G3361G2808 at the end of the dayG2250, becauseG1063 there will beG1510 noG3756 nightG3571 thereG1563.

26AndG2532 intoG1519 the city will be broughtG5342 theG3588 gloryG1391 andG2532 honorG5092 of theG3588 nationsG1484. 27But nothingG3756G3361G3956 uncleanG2839 will ever enterG1525G1519 itG846, nor anyone whoG3588 practicesG4160 an abominationG946 or a lieG5579, but onlyG1487G3361 those whoseG3588 names are writtenG1125 inG1722 theG3588 Lamb’sG721 BookG975 of LifeG2222.
