Revelation 21:1-22:21

Lamsa(i) 1 AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away; and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice from heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and the very God shall be with them, and be their God; 4 And he shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor wailing, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things have passed away. 5 And he who sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. Then he said to me, Write: for these are the trustworthy and true words of God. 6 And he said to me, I am Aleph and Tau, Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will freely give of the fountain of living water to him who is thirsty. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But as for the fearful, and the unbelieving, and the sinful, and the abominable, and murderers, and those who commit adultery, and the magicians, and the idolators, and all liars, their portion shall be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 9 And there came to me one of the seven angels who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and he talked with me, saying, Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit onto a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God, radiant as a brilliant light, resembling a very precious gem; like a jasper stone, clear as crystal: 12 It had a wall great and high, and it had twelve gates, with names inscribed thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 On the east were 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 on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he who talked with me had a measuring rod of golden reed to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. 16 And the city was laid four-square, and the length was the same as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, about twelve furlongs, twelve thousand paces. And the length and breadth and the height were equal. 17 And he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. 18 And the wall was constructed of jasper: and the city itself was pure gold, resembling clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second sapphire; the third chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were adorned with twelve pearls; one for each of the gates, and each gate was made of a single pearl; and the great street of the city was of pure gold. as it were transparent glass. 22 But I saw no temple therein: for the LORD Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. 23 The city has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God lightens it, and the Lamb is the lamp of it. 24 And the people who have been saved shall walk by that very light: and the kings of the earth shall bring their own glory and the honor of the people into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be barred by day: for there is no night there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the people into it. 27 And there shall not enter into it anything which defiles, nor he who works abominations and lies; only those shall enter whose names are written in the LambÆs book of life. 22 1 AND he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, gushing out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. 2 In the midst of the great street of the city, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve kind of fruits, and each month it yielded one of its fruits; and the leaves of the trees were for the healing of the people. 3 And that which drops shall be no more: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they shall neither need a candle, nor the light of the sun; for the LORD God shines on them: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the LORD God who is the spirit of the prophets sent his angel to show to his servants the things which shortly must come to pass. 7 Behold, I am coming soon: blessed is he who keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 8 And I, John, who heard and saw these things, when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 And he said to me, Do not do that: I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book: worship God. 10 Then he said to me, Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11 He who is unjust will continue to be unjust: and he who is filthy will continue to be filthy: and he who is righteous will continue to do righteousness: and he who is holy will continue to be holy. 12 Behold, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Aleph and Tau, Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are the vicious, and magicians, and the immoral, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loves to tell lies. 16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say Come. And let him who hears, say Come. And he who is thirsty, let him come. And whosoever will, let him take of the living water freely. 18 I testify to every man who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his portion from the tree of life, and from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 20 He who testifies these things says, Surely I am coming soon. Amen. Come, LORD Jesus. 21 The grace of our LORD Jesus Christ be with you all, all you holy ones. Amen.
