THEN
I saw a new sky (Heaven) and a New Earth;
For
the former sky and the former earth had Passed Away (vanished),
And
there no longer existed any sea. [Isa.65:17; 66:22.]
And
I saw the Holy City, The New Jerusalem,
Descending
out of Heaven from God,
All
arrayed like a Bride beautified and adorned for her Husband;
Then
I heard a Mighty Voice from the Throne
And
I perceived its distinct words, saying, SEE!
THE
ABODE OF GOD IS WITH MEN,
And
He will live (encamp, tent) among them,
And
they shall be His People
And
God shall personally be with them and be their God. [Ezek. 37:27.]
GOD
WILL WIPE AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES,
And
Death shall be NO MORE,
Neither
shall there be anguish—Sorrow and Mourning--
Nor
Grief nor Pain any more;
FOR
THE OLD CONDITIONS AND THE FORMER ORDER OF THINGS
HAVE
PASSED AWAY. [Isa. 25:8; 35:10.]
And
He Who is seated on the Throne said, SEE! I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW,
Also,
He said, Record this, for these sayings are Faithful—
Accurate,
Incorruptible and Trustworthy—and True (genuine). [Isa. 43:19.]
AND
HE [FURTHER] SAID TO ME, IT IS DONE!
I
AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.
TO
THE THIRSTY I [MYSELF] WILL GIVE WATER WITHOUT PRICE
From
the Fountain (springs) of THE WATER OF LIFE. [Isa. 55:1.]
HE
WHO IS VICTORIOUS SHALL INHERIT ALL THESE THINGS,
And
I will be God to him and he shall be My son.
But
as for the Cowards and the Ignoble and the Contemptible
And
the Cravenly lacking in Courage and the Cowardly Submissive;
And
as for the Unbelieving and Faithless;
And
as for the Depraved and Defiled with Abominations;
And
as for Murderers and the Lewd and Adulterous
And
the Practicers of Magic Arts and the Idolaters
[Those
who give supreme devotion to any one or anything other than God]
And
all the Liars [Those who knowingly convey untruth by word or deed,
All
of these shall have]
Their
part in The Lake that Blazes with Fire and Brimstone.
THIS
IS THE SECOND DEATH. [Isa. 30:33.]
Then
one of the Seven Angels who had the Seven Bowls
Filled
with the Seven Final Plagues (afflictions, calamities)
Came
and spoke to me.
He
said, Come with me!
I
WILL SHOW YOU THE BRIDE, THE LAMB'S WIFE.
THEN
IN THE SPIRIT He conveyed me away to a Vast and Lofty Mountain,
And
Exhibited to me the Holy (hallowed, consecrated) City of Jerusalem
Descending
out of Heaven from God, [Ezek. 40:2.]
CLOTHED
IN GOD'S GLORY—IN ALL ITS SPLENDOR AND RADIANCE.
The
Luster of it resembled a Rare and Most Precious Jewel, like Jasper,
Shining
clear as Crystal
It
had a Massive and High Wall with Twelve [large] Gates,
And
at the Gates [there were stationed] Twelve angels,
And
[on the Gates]
The
Names of the Twelve Tribes of the sons of Israel were written;
[Ezek.
48:30-35; Exod. 28:21.]
On
the East side Three Gates, on the North side Three Gates,
On
the South side Three Gates, and on the West side Three Gates.
And
the Wall of the City had Twelve Foundation [stones],
And
on them the Twelve Names of the Twelves Apostles of the Lamb.
And
he who spoke to me had a Golden Measuring Reed (rod)
To
Measure the City and its Gates and its Wall, [Ezek. 40:5.]
The
City lies in a Square, its length being the same as its width.
And
he measured the City with his reed,
Twelve
Thousand Stadia [about fifteen hundred miles];
Its
length and width and height are the same.
He
measured its wall also, one hundred and forty-four cubits
(About
seventy-two yards) by a man's measure
[Of
a cubit from his elbow to his third finger tip]
Which
is [the measure] of the Angel.
The
Wall was built of Jasper, while the City [itself was of] Pure Gold,
Clear
and Transparent like glass.
The
Foundation [stones] of the Wall of the City were Ornamented
With
all of the Precious Stones.
The
First Foundation [stone] was Jasper,
The
Second Sapphire, the Third Chalcedony (or white agate),
The
Fourth Emerald, [Isa. 54:11.]
The
Fifth Onyx, the Sixth Sardius, the Seventy Chrysolite, the Eighth
Beryl,
The
Ninth Topaz, the Tenth Chrysoprase, the Eleventh Jacinth,
The
Twelfth Amethyst.
And
the Twelve Gates were Twelve Pearls,
Each
separate Gate being built of one solid Pearl.
And
the Main Street (the broadway) of the City was of gold
As
Pure and Transparent as glass.
I
saw no Temple in the City, for the Lord God Omnipotent [Himself]
And
the Lamb [Himself] are its Temple.
AND
THE CITY HAS NO NEED OF THE SUN NOR OF THE MOON
To
give light to it,
For
the Splendor and Radiance (glory) of God ILLUMINATE IT,
And
the Lamb is its LAMP. [Isa. 24:23; 60:1, 19.]
THE
NATIONS SHALL WALK BY ITS LIGHT
And
the Rulers and Leaders of the Earth shall bring into it their glory.
AND
ITS GATES SHALL NEVER BE CLOSED BY DAY,
And
there shall be NO NIGHT there. [Isa. 60:11.]
They
shall bring the glory—the Splendor and Majesty--
And
the Honor of the Nations into it.
BUT
NOTHING THAT DEFILES OR PROFANES OR IS UNWASHED
Shall
ever enter it,
Nor
any one who Commits Abominations--
That
is Unclean, Detestable, Morally Repugnant things--Or Practices
Falsehood,
BUT
ONLY THOSE WHOSE NAMES ARE RECORDED
IN
THE LAMB'S BOOK OF LIFE.
(Revelation
21, AMP)
Be
always on the Watch,
And pray that you
will be able to Escape All that is about to happen,
And that you may be
able TO STAND before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)
Today,
the World is Raging Against God, Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This
World in it's present form is passing away. (1 Corinthians 7:31)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
