Chapter 21
21:1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth.” For the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea.
Revelation
21:2 I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from Elohim, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
21:3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven, saying, “Look! The tabernacle of Elohim is with men, and He will dwell with them. They shall be His people, and Elohim Himself will be with them and be their Elohim.
21:4 “Elohim shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. There shall be no more death.” Neither shall there be any more sorrow nor crying nor pain, for the former things have passed away.”
21:5 He who was seated on the throne said, “Look! I am making all things new.” Then He said to me, “Write, for these words are faithful and true.”
21:6 He said to me, “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the spring of the water of life to him who thirsts.
21:7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his Elohim and he shall be My son.
21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the abominable, the murderers, the fornicators, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars shall have their portion in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone. This is the second death.”
21:9 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.”
21:10 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 Elohim,
21:11 having the glory of Elohim, her light like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
21:12 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:
21:13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.
21:14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
21:15 He who talked with me had a golden rod to measure the city and its gates and wall.
21:16 The city lies as a square, its length as long as its width. He measured the city with the rod: one thousand four hundred miles. Its length and breadth and height are equal.
21:17 He then measured its wall: two hundred feet by the measurement of a man, that is, of an angel.
21:18 The wall was built of jasper and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.
21:19 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;
21:20 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.
21:21 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.
21:22 I saw no temple in the city, for YASHUWAH the Elohim Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
21:23 The city has no need of sun or moon to shine in it, for the glory of Elohim is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
21:24 And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honor into it.
21:25 Its gates shall never be shut by day, for there shall be no night there.
21:26 They shall bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.
21:27 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.
