Revelation 21
1 I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth passed away, and there was no more sea.
2 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people; and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be his people, and God himself, even their God, will be with them.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away.”
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall be death no more, nor sorrow, nor crying, nor any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”
And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life.
And He said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end: I will give to him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be a God to him, and he shall be to me a son.
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls which were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, “Come here. I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.”
And there came unto me one of the seven angels, who had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

And he carried me away in spirit to a great and high mountain, and he shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God:

and her light was like a most precious stone, even as a Jasper-stone resembling crystal:
12 having a great and high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.

And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and it's gates, and it's wall.
16 The city is square. Its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed: twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal.
And the city was four-square, it's length being as much 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.
17 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.
And he measured the wall of it an hundred forty four cubits according to the measure of a man, for such was that of the angel.

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

23 The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.
And the city hath no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God enlighteneth it, and the Lamb is it's light.
24 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
And the nations of those that are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth bring their glory and their honor into it.
25 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there),
And the gates of it are not to be shut by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.
