And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

And Moses and Elijah came before their eyes, talking with him. And Peter made answer and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will let me, I will make here three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

He who went down is the same who went up far over all the heavens so that he might make all things complete.)

Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,

For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us. And he did not have to make an offering of himself again and again, as the high priest goes into the holy place every year with blood which is not his; read more. For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself. And because by God's law death comes to men once, and after that they are judged; So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

At the first God made the heaven and the earth.

At the first God made the heaven and the earth.

And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters, parting the waters from the waters.

And the heaven and the earth and all things in them were complete.

And from the earth the Lord God made every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and took them to the man to see what names he would give them: and whatever name he gave to any living thing, that was its name.

And of the birds of the air, seven males and seven females, so that their seed may still be living on the face of the earth.

Every living thing on the face of all the earth, man and cattle and things moving on the face of the earth, and birds of the air, came to destruction: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.

The Lord your God is ruler of heaven, of the heaven of heavens, and of the earth with everything in it.

By becoming a servant of other gods and worshipping them or the sun or the moon or all the stars of heaven, against my orders;

No other is like the God of Jeshurun, coming on the heavens to your help, and letting his glory be seen in the skies.

No other is like the God of Jeshurun, coming on the heavens to your help, and letting his glory be seen in the skies.

And at the end of three days, the men in authority over the people went through the tents,

When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you; if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord there between earth and heaven, with an uncovered sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the responsible men, clothed in haircloth, went down on their faces.

Let your eyes be turned to the heavens, and lifted up to see the skies; they are higher than you.

Flowing down from the sky, and dropping on the peoples.

Will you, with him, make the skies smooth, and strong as a polished looking-glass?

The birds of the air and the fish of the sea, and whatever goes through the deep waters of the seas.

He made the dark his secret place; his tent round him was the dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

You have gone up on high, taking your prisoners with you; you have taken offerings from men; the Lord God has taken his place on the seat of his power.

Make clear that strength is God's: he is lifted up over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.

The voice of your thunder went rolling on; the world was flaming with the light of the storm; the earth was shaking.

And he gave orders to the clouds on high, and the doors of heaven were open;

The Lord in heaven is stronger than the noise of great waters, yes, he is stronger than the great waves of the sea.

The heavens are the Lord's; but the earth he has given to the children of men.

Give praise to him, you highest heavens, and you waters which are over the heavens.

For you said in your heart, I will go up to heaven, I will make my seat higher than the stars of God; I will take my place on the mountain of the meeting-place of the gods, in the inmost parts of the north. I will go higher than the clouds; I will be like the Most High.

And they will put them out before the sun and the moon and all the stars of heaven, whose lovers and servants they have been, after whom they have gone, to whom they have made prayers, and to whom they have given worship: they will not be put together or placed in the earth; they will be waste on the face of the earth.

In what secret place may a man take cover without my seeing him? says the Lord. Is there any place in heaven or earth where I am not? says the Lord.

Those who went after us were quicker than the eagles of the heaven, driving us before them on the mountains, waiting secretly for us in the waste land.

Now it came about in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was by the river Chebar among those who had been made prisoners, that the heavens were made open and I saw visions of God.

And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

But straight away, after the trouble of those days, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light and the stars will come down from heaven and the powers of heaven will be moved:

Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, the friends of the bride, who took their lights, and went out with the purpose of meeting the husband.

And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.

And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?

In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?

The God who made the earth and everything in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, is not housed in buildings made with hands;

For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory;

For we are conscious that if this our tent of flesh is taken down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in heaven. For in this we are crying in weariness, greatly desiring to be clothed with our house from heaven:

But I say that as long as the son is a child, he is in no way different from a servant, though he is lord of all;

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. So be it.

And when this letter has been made public among you, let the same be done in the church of Laodicea; and see that you have the letter from Laodicea.

I, Paul, give you this word of love in my handwriting. Keep in memory that I am a prisoner. Grace be with you.

If we go on to the end, then we will be ruling with him: if we say we have no knowledge of him, then he will say he has no knowledge of us:

The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it.

And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

For those who say such things make it clear that they are searching for a country for themselves.

But now their desire is for a better country, that is to say, for one in heaven; and so it is no shame to God to be named their God; for he has made ready a town for them.

But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered,

Give ear, my dear brothers; are not those who are poor in the things of this world marked out by God to have faith as their wealth, and for their heritage the kingdom which he has said he will give to those who have love for him?

And a heritage fair, holy and for ever new, waiting in heaven for you,

For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the house of my God, and he will go out no more: and I will put on him the name of my God, and the name of the town of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.

And God said, Let there be a solid arch stretching over the waters, parting the waters from the waters.

And God said, Let the waters be full of living things, and let birds be in flight over the earth under the arch of heaven.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, like us: and let him have rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every living thing which goes flat on the earth.

In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep came bursting through, and the windows of heaven were open;

And fear came on him, and he said, This is a holy place; this is nothing less than the house of God and the doorway of heaven.

And the pride of your strength will be broken, and I will make your heaven as iron and your earth as brass;

The Lord your God is ruler of heaven, of the heaven of heavens, and of the earth with everything in it.

But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven:

Then the earth was moved with a violent shock; the bases of heaven were moved and shaking, because he was angry.

Then the captain whose arm was supporting the king said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.

Thick clouds are covering him, so that he is unable to see; and he is walking on the arch of heaven.

The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.

Will you, with him, make the skies smooth, and strong as a polished looking-glass?

Give praise to the Lord. Let the Lord be praised from the heavens: give him praise in the skies.

The Lord, who has taken up your cause, and who gave you life in your mother's body, says, I am the Lord who makes all things; stretching out the heavens by myself, and giving the earth its limits; who was with me?

For see, I am making a new heaven and a new earth: and the past things will be gone completely out of mind.

For as the new heaven and the new earth which I will make will be for ever before me, says the Lord, so will your seed and your name be for ever.

And I will send on Elam four winds from the four quarters of heaven, driving them out to all those winds; there will be no nation into which the wanderers from Elam do not come.

And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will put up a kingdom which will never come to destruction, and its power will never be given into the hands of another people, and all these kingdoms will be broken and overcome by it, but it will keep its place for ever.

And as they gave orders to let the broken end and the roots of the tree be, so your kingdom will be safe for you after it is clear to you that the heavens are ruling.

Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it.

And suddenly there was with the angel a great band of spirits from heaven, giving praise to God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on the earth peace among men with whom he is well pleased. read more. And when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the keepers of the sheep said to one another, Let us go now to Beth-lehem, and see this thing which has come about, which the Lord has made clear to us.

And Jesus said to them, The sons of this world are married and have wives; But those to whom is given the reward of the world to come, and to come back from the dead, have no wives, and are not married; read more. And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

And an angel from heaven came to him, to give him strength.

If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour.

In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you? And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am. read more. And you all have knowledge of where I am going, and of the way to it.

Who is to be kept in heaven till the time when all things are put right, of which God has given word by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been from the earliest times.

But God was turned from them and let them give worship to the stars of heaven, as it says in the book of the prophets, Did you make offerings to me of sheep and oxen for forty years in the waste land, O house of Israel?

Food is for the stomach and the stomach for food, and God will put an end to them together. But the body is not for the desires of the flesh, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body:

I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.

He who went down is the same who went up far over all the heavens so that he might make all things complete.)

Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.

For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death, And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace; read more. Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever. Now see how great this man was, to whom our father Abraham gave a tenth part of what he had got in the fight. And it is true that by the law, those of the sons of Levi who have the position of priests may take a tenth part of the people's goods; that is to say, they take it from their brothers though these are the sons of Abraham. But this man, who was not of their family, took the tenth from Abraham, and gave a blessing to him to whom God had given his undertaking.

It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:

For this cause it was necessary to make the copies of the things in heaven clean with these offerings; but the things themselves are made clean with better offerings than these. For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

Whose voice was the cause of the shaking of the earth; but now he has made an oath, saying, There will be still one more shaking, not only of the earth, but of heaven. And the words, Still one more, make it clear that there will be a taking away of those things which are shaking, as of things which are made, so that there may be only those things of which no shaking is possible. read more. If then, we have a kingdom which will never be moved, let us have grace, so that we may give God such worship as is pleasing to him with fear and respect:

And when the fifth stamp was undone, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been put to death for the word of God, and for the witness which they kept.

And another angel came out from the house of God which is in heaven, having a sharp curved blade.

And after these things I saw, and the house of the Tent of witness in heaven was open:

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were gone; and there was no more sea. And I saw the holy town, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, like a bride made beautiful for her husband. read more. And there came to my ears a great voice out of the high seat, saying, See, the Tent of God is with men, and he will make his living-place with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God. And he will put an end to all their weeping; and there will be no more death, or sorrow, or crying, or pain; for the first things have come to an end.

And he took me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and let me see the holy town Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

And I saw no Temple there; because the Lord God, the Ruler of all, and the Lamb are its Temple.

And nothing unclean may come into it, or anyone whose works are cursed or false; but only those whose names are in the Lamb's book of life.

And there will be no more curse: and the high seat of God and of the Lamb will be there; and his servants will be worshipping him;

And there will be no more night; and they have no need of a light or of the shining of the sun; for the Lord God will give them light: and they will be ruling for ever and ever.

The Lord your God is ruler of heaven, of the heaven of heavens, and of the earth with everything in it.

There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: coals were lighted by it.

When he made ready the heavens I was there: when he put an arch over the face of the deep: When he made strong the skies overhead: when the fountains of the deep were fixed: read more. When he put a limit to the sea, so that the waters might not go against his word: when he put in position the bases of the earth:

When they come back from the dead, they do not get married, but are like the angels in heaven.

I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.

In which you were living in the past, after the ways of this present world, doing the pleasure of the lord of the power of the air, the spirit who is now working in those who go against the purpose of God;

And God said, Let there be lights in the arch of heaven, for a division between the day and the night, and let them be for signs, and for marking the changes of the year, and for days and for years: And let them be for lights in the arch of heaven to give light on the earth: and it was so.

And God put them in the arch of heaven, to give light on the earth;

Every living thing on the face of all the earth, man and cattle and things moving on the face of the earth, and birds of the air, came to destruction: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.

The Lord your God is ruler of heaven, of the heaven of heavens, and of the earth with everything in it.

But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven:

And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.

And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.

Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.

The Lord is in his holy Temple, the Lord's seat is in heaven; his eyes are watching and testing the children of men.

Make songs to God, you kingdoms of the earth; O make songs of praise to the Lord; (Selah.)

O God, you are to be feared in your holy place: the God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God.

Which had fair leaves and much fruit, and had in it food for all; under which the beasts of the field were living, and in the branches of which the birds of heaven had their resting-places:

But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God;

For when they come back from the dead there are no husbands and wives, but they are as the angels in heaven.

But of that day and hour no one has knowledge, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son, but the Father only.

So then the Lord Jesus, after he had said these words to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God.

For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.

I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.

But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him.

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; and in that day the heavens will be rolled up with a great noise, and the substance of the earth will be changed by violent heat, and the world and everything in it will be burned up.

Looking for and truly desiring the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will come to an end through fire, and the substance of the earth will be changed by the great heat? But having faith in his word, we are looking for a new heaven and a new earth, which will be the resting-place of righteousness.

And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going out to the fight with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels made war, And they were overcome, and there was no more place for them in heaven. read more. And the great dragon was forced down, the old snake, who is named the Evil One and Satan, by whom all the earth is turned from the right way; he was forced down to the earth, and his angels were forced down with him.

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were gone; and there was no more sea.

And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
