--Revelation-- And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (21:2) And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, (21:10) Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; (21:11) And had a wall great and high, [and] had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: (21:12) On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. (21:13) And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. (21:14) And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. (21:15) And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. (21:16) And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred [and] forty [and] four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of the angel. (21:17) And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like unto clear glass. (21:18) And the foundations of the wall of the city [were] garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; (21:19) The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. (21:20) And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city [was] pure gold, as it were transparent glass. (21:21) And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. (21:22) And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof. (21:23) And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. (21:24) And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. (21:25) And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. (21:26) And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. (21:27) |
