Revelation 21
21
The New Heaven and the New Earth
1#Isa 66:22; 2Pe 3:13Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth.”#Isa 65:17. For the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea. 2#Heb 11:10; Rev 3:12I, John, saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3#2Co 6:16; Rev 7:15And I heard a loud voice from heaven, saying, “Look! The tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them. They shall be His people, and God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4#Isa 25:8; 35:10; 1Co 15:26‘God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. There shall be no more death.’#Isa 25:8. Neither shall there be any more sorrow nor crying nor pain, for the former things have passed away.”
5#Rev 4:9; 20:11He 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.”
6#Rev 1:8; 22:13; Jn 4:10He 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. 7#Rev 21:3; Mt 25:34He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.#2Sa 7:14; Ps 89:26. 8#Rev 19:20; Gal 5:19–21But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the abominable, the murderers, the sexually immoral, 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.”
The New Jerusalem
9#Rev 19:7; 21:2One 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.” 10#Rev 17:3; 1:10And 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 God, 11#Rev 4:6; 22:5having the glory of God, her light like a most precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12#Eze 48:31–34; Rev 21:25It 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: 13three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. 14#Heb 11:10; Mt 16:18The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15He who talked with me had a golden rod to measure the city and its gates and wall. 16The city lies as a square, its length as long as its width. He measured the city with the rod: one thousand four hundred miles.#Gk. 12,000 stadia, or 2,200 kilometers. Its length and breadth and height are equal. 17He then measured its wall: two hundred feet#144 cubits, or 65 meters. by the measurement of a man, that is, of an angel. 18#Rev 21:11; 21:21The wall was built of jasper and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass. 19#Isa 54:11–12The 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; 20the 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#Rev 21:18; 17:4; 22:2The 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.
22#Jn 4:23; Rev 1:8I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23#Rev 21:11; Isa 60:19–20; Rev 22:5The city has no need of sun or moon to shine in it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24#Rev 22:2And 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. 25#Isa 60:11; Zec 14:7Its gates shall never be shut by day, for there shall be no night there. 26They shall bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27#Isa 52:1; Joel 3:17No 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.
