The Revelation to Yochanan, Chapter 21
{21:1} I saw a new heaven and a new [1>]eretz[<1]: for the first
heaven and the first [2>]eretz[<2] have passed away, and the sea is no
more. {21:2} I saw the holy city, New Yerushalayim, coming down out of
heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband.
{21:3} I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, God's
dwelling 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. {21:4} He
will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no
more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more.
The first things have passed away.
{21:5} He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all
things new." He said, "Write, for these words of God are faithful and
true." {21:6} He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alef and the Tav,
the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty
from the spring of the water of life. {21:7} He who overcomes, I will
give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
{21:8} But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable,
murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars,
their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is
the second death."
{21:9} One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were
laden with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying,
"Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb's bride." {21:10} He
carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed
me the holy city, Yerushalayim, coming down out of heaven from God,
{21:11} having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious
stone, as if it was a jasper stone, clear as crystal; {21:12} having a
great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve
angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve
tribes of the children of Yisra'el. {21:13} On the east were three
gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and
on the west three gates. {21:14} The wall of the city had twelve
foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the
Lamb. {21:15} He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed,
to measure the city, its gates, and its walls. {21:16} The city lies
foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the
city with the reed, twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length,
breadth, and height are equal. {21:17} Its wall is one hundred
forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
{21:18} The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure
gold, like pure glass. {21:19} The foundations of the city's wall were
adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was
jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth,
[3>]yahalom[<3]; {21:20} the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the
seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth,
chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.
{21:21} The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was
made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like
transparent glass. {21:22} I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God,
[4>]Shaddai[<4], and the Lamb, are its temple. {21:23} The city has no
need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of
God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. {21:24} The nations will
walk in its light. The kings of the [5>]eretz[<5] bring the glory and
honor of the nations into it. {21:25} Its gates will in no way be shut
by day (for there will be no night there), {21:26} and they shall
bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may
enter. {21:27} There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or
one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written
in the Lamb's book of life.
