Two Resurrections

²⁵ Truly, truly, I say to you, ^[a](A)a time is coming and ^[b]even now has arrived, when ^(B)the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who ^(C)hear will live. ²⁶ For just as the Father has life in Himself, so He ^(D)gave to the Son also to have life in Himself; ²⁷ and He gave Him authority to ^(E)execute judgment, because He is ^[c]the Son of Man. ²⁸ Do not be amazed at this; for ^[d](F)a time is coming when ^(G)all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, ²⁹ and will come out: ^(H)those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the bad deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

Judgment at the Throne of God

¹¹ Then I saw a great white ^(A)throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose ^[a]presence ^(B)earth and heaven fled, and ^(C)no place was found for them. ¹² And I saw the dead, the ^(D)great and the small, standing before the throne, and ^[b](E)books were opened; and another ^[c]book was opened, which is ^(F)the book of life; and the dead ^(G)were judged from the things which were written in the ^[d]books, ^(H)according to their deeds. ¹³ And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and ^(I)Death and Hades ^(J)gave up the dead who were in them; and they were judged, each one of them ^(K)according to their deeds. ¹⁴ Then ^(L)Death and Hades were thrown into ^(M)the lake of fire. This is the ^(N)second death, the lake of fire. ¹⁵ And if ^[e]anyone’s name was not found written in ^(O)the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

The New Heaven and Earth

21 Then I saw ^(P)a new heaven and a new earth; for ^(Q)the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. ² And I saw ^(R)the holy city, ^(S)new Jerusalem, ^(T)coming down out of heaven from God, ^(U)prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. ³ And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, ^(V)the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will ^(W)dwell among them, and they shall be His ^[f]people, and God Himself will be among them^[g], ⁴ and He will ^(X)wipe away every tear from their eyes; and ^(Y)there will no longer be any death; ^(Z)there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; ^(AA)the first things have passed away.”

⁵ And ^(AB)He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am ^(AC)making all things new.” And He *said, “Write, for ^(AD)these words are faithful and true.” ⁶ Then He said to me, “^[h](AE)It is done. I am the ^(AF)Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. ^(AG)I will give water to the one who thirsts from the spring of the ^(AH)water of life, without cost. ^7 (AI)The one who overcomes will inherit these things, and ^(AJ)I will be his God and he will be My son.
