Revelation 21:1-22:21

Mace(i) 1 Afterwards I saw a new heaven, and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were vanished; and there was no more sea . 2 and I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descend from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 then I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, "behold, the tabernacle of God is with men: he will dwell with them, they shall be his people, God himself shall be with them, as their God. 4 God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; there shall be no more death, sorrow, or crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former state of things is passed away." he that sat upon the throne, said, 5 "behold, I make all things new." and he said write: "for these words are true and authentic." 6 and he said to me, "it is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end: to him that is a-thirst I will freely give of the fountain of living water. 7 he that overcomes, shall inherit these things: I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 but the fearful, and incredulous, the abominable, the murderer, the licentious, the poisoner, the idolater, and every lyar shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: this is the second death." 9 Then there came to me one of the seven angels, who 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 an extacy to a great and high mountain, and shewed me the city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. 11 it blaz'd with the glory of God: her luminary was like that of a brilliant, even like a jasper, as transparent as crystal. 12 her walls were large and high; the gates were twelve; and at the gates twelve angels, with the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel inscrib'd thereon. 13 on the east were three gates; on the north, three gates; on the south, three gates; and three gates on the west. 14 the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the lamb. 15 he that talked with me, had a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls. 16 the city was a square, the length being as large as the breadth: he measured the city with the reed, and found it twelve thousand furlongs: the length, the breadth, and the height of it were equal. 17 he measured the wall, and it was an hundred and forty four cubits, according to the common measure, which was what the angel employed. 18 the wall was built of jasper; and the city was of pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 the foundations of the citywall were embellished with all manner of precious stones. the first foundation was of jasper; the second, of sapphire; the third, of chalcedony; the fourth, of an emerald; 20 the fifth, of sardonyx; the sixth, of sardius; the seventh, of chrysolite; the eighth, of beryl; the ninth, of a topaz; the tenth, of a chrysoprasus; the elventh, of a jacinth; the twelfth, of an amethyst. 21 the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each single gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as splendid as glass. 22 I did not see any temple there: for the Lord God almighty, and the lamb are its temple. 23 the city had no need either of the sun, or of the moon to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamb is the luminary thereof. 24 the nations shall walk by its light, and the kings of the earth bring all their glory and magnificence into it. 25 the gates of it shall never be shut by day: for no night shall be there. 26 the glory and magnificence of the nations shall be brought into it. 27 and nothing that is impure, no one that is guilty of any abomination, or a lye, shall ever enter there: but they alone who are written in the lamb's book of life. 22 1 Then he shewed me a pure river of living water, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God, and of the lamb. 2 in the midst of the area, surrounded by the river, was the tree of life, which had twelve fruit-seasons, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 There shall be nothing obnoxious to a curse: but the throne of God and of the lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him. 4 they shall see his face; and his name shall be. in their foreheads. 5 no night shall be there, nor any need of a lamp, or of the light of the sun; for the Lord God will give them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 6 the angel then said, "these sayings are certain and true. the Lord God of the holy prophets has sent his angel to shew his servants what must shortly happen. 7 I shall soon come: happy is he that attends to the prophecies of this book." 8 I John saw these things, and heard them. and when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel, who shewed me these things. 9 but he said to me, "forbear, I am the servant of God, as you are, and your brethren the prophets, and those who observe the words of this book: worship God." 10 He subjoin'd, "don't seal the prophetic discourses of this book: for the time draws nigh. 11 he that is unjust, let him be unjust still: he that is filthy, let him be filthy still: he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 blessed are they who wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." 15 "but without are the execrable, the poisoners, the licentious, the murderers, the idolaters, and all who are pleas'd with, or practise deceit. 16 "I Jesus have sent my angel to testify these things to the churches. I am the shoot, the offspring of David, the splendid morning star. 17 the spirit and the bride say, come. let him that heareth, say, come. let him that is a-thirst, come: and whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 "I declare to every one that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if any one shall add to these things, God shall strike him with the plagues that are written in this book: 19 and if any one shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall exclude him from any interest in the tree of life, and in the holy city, and in the things which are written in this book." 20 he who testifieth these things, saith, "I come quickly." Amen. even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.
