Revelation 21:9-27 - A Description Of The New Jerusalem

9 And there came to me one of the seven angels having the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and he spake with me, saying, Come, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. 10 And he brought me away in the spirit upon a mountain great and high, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her luminary like a most precious stone, as jasper stone, shining like crystal; 12 And having a wall great and high, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and the names inscribed, which are of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel: 13 From the sunrising three gates; from the north three gates; from the south three gates; and from the sun-setting three gates. 14 And the wall of the city having twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve sent of the Lamb.

15 And he speaking with me had a golden reed that he might measure the city, and her gates, and her wall. 16 And the city lies quadrangular, and her length is so large, such also the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, at twelve thousand stadia. Her length, breadth, and height are equal. 17 And he measured her wall, an hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of a man, which is the angel. 18 And the interior construction of her wall was a jasper: and the city pure gold, like pure crystal.

19 And the foundations of the wall of the city adorned with every precious stone. The first foundation a jasper; the second, a sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald: 20 The fifth, a sardonyx; the sixth, a sardius; the seventh, a chrysolyte; the eighth, a beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a hyacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

21 And the twelve gates twelve pearls; each one of the gates was of one pearl: and the broad way of the city pure gold, as transparent amber.

22 And a temple saw I not in her: for the Lord God, the Omnipotent Ruler, is the temple and the Lamb 23 And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they shine in her: for the glory of God enlightened her, and her light the Lamb. 24 And the nations of the saved shall walk about in her light: and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and honour into her. 25 And her gates should not be shut by day: for no night shall be there. 26 And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into her. 27 And there came not into her anything common, and any doing abomination, and a lie: but they written in the book of life of the Lamb.
