Revelation 21-22

Darby Translation

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more.

² And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

³ And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God.

⁴ And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.

⁵ And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says [to me], Write, for these words are true and faithful.

⁶ And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to him that thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely.

⁷ He that overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me son.

⁸ But to the fearful and unbelieving, [and sinners], and those who make themselves abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part [is] in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

⁹ And there came one of the seven angels which had had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

¹⁰ And he carried me away in [the] Spirit, [and set me] on a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,

¹¹ having the glory of God. Her shining [was] like a most precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone;

¹² having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of [the] sons of Israel.

¹³ On [the] east three gates; and on [the] north three gates; and on [the] south three gates; and on [the] west three gates.

¹⁴ And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁵ And he that spoke with me had a golden reed [as] a measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.

¹⁶ And the city lies four-square, and its length [is] as much as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed—twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and height of it are equal.

¹⁷ And he measured its wall, a hundred [and] forty-four cubits, [a] man's measure, that is, [the] angel's.

¹⁸ And the building of its wall [was] jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass:

¹⁹ the foundations of the wall of the city [were] adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

²⁰ the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

²¹ And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.

²² And I saw no temple in it; for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb.

²³ And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof [is] the Lamb.

²⁴ And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it.

²⁵ And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there.

²⁶ And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it.

²⁷ And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who [are] written in the book of life of the Lamb.

22 And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

² In the midst of its street, and of the river, on this side and on that side, [the] tree of life, producing twelve fruits, in each month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations.

³ And no curse shall be any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him,

⁴ and they shall see his face; and his name [is] on their foreheads.

⁵ And night shall not be any more, and no need of a lamp, and light of [the] sun; for [the] Lord God shall shine upon them, and they shall reign to the ages of ages.

⁶ And he said to me, These words [are] faithful and true; and [the] Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to shew to his bondmen the things which must soon come to pass.

⁷ And behold, I come quickly. Blessed [is] he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

⁸ And I, John, [was] he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to do homage before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things.

⁹ And he says to me, See [thou do it] not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and [the fellow-bondman] of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Do homage to God.

¹⁰ And he says to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book. The time is near.

¹¹ Let him that does unrighteously do unrighteously still; and let the filthy make himself filthy still; and let him that is righteous practise righteousness still; and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.

¹² Behold, I come quickly, and my reward with me, to render to every one as his work shall be.

¹³ *I* [am] the Alpha and the Omega, [the] first and [the] last, the beginning and the end.

¹⁴ Blessed [are] they that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they should go in by the gates into the city.

¹⁵ Without [are] the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loves and makes a lie.

¹⁶ *I* Jesus have sent mine angel to testify these things to you in the assemblies. *I* am the root and offspring of David, the bright [and] morning star.

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come; he that will, let him take [the] water of life freely.

¹⁸ *I* testify to every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any one shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book.

¹⁹ And if any one take from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

²⁰ He that testifies these things says, Yea, I come quickly. Amen; come, Lord Jesus.

²¹ The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ [be] with all the saints.
