Revelation 21:1-10 ▼

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.
