The New Jerusalem

Rev 21:10

Rev 21:10and he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and did shew to me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,

Rev 21:11

Rev 21:11having the glory of God, and her light is like a stone most precious, as a jasper stone clear as crystal,

Rev 21:12

Rev 21:12having also a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written thereon, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel,

Rev 21:13

Rev 21:13at the east three gates, at the north three gates, at the south three gates, at the west three gates;

Rev 21:14

Rev 21:14and the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Rev 21:15

Rev 21:15And he who is speaking with me had a golden reed, that he may measure the city, and its gates, and its wall;

Rev 21:16

Rev 21:16and the city lieth square, and the length of it is as great as the breadth; and he did measure the city with the reed -- furlongs twelve thousand; the length, and the breadth, and the height, of it are equal;

Rev 21:17

Rev 21:17and he measured its wall, an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, that is, of the messenger;

Rev 21:18

Rev 21:18and the building of its wall was jasper, and the city is pure gold -- like to pure glass;

Rev 21:19

Rev 21:19and the foundations of the wall of the city with every precious stone have been adorned; the first foundation jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

Rev 21:22And a sanctuary I did not see in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, is its sanctuary, and the Lamb,

Rev 21:23

Rev 21:23and the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they may shine in it; for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp of it is the Lamb;

Rev 21:24

Rev 21:24and the nations of the saved in its light shall walk, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it,

Rev 21:25

Rev 21:25and its gates shall not at all be shut by day, for night shall not be there;

Rev 21:26

Rev 21:26and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it;
