of God, and such as didn't worship the beast nor his image, and didn't receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived, and reigned with Christ for the thousand years. 020:005 The rest of the dead didn't live until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. 020:006 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with him one thousand years. 020:007 And after the thousand years, Satan will be released from his prison, 020:008 and he will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war; the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 020:009 They went up over the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city. Fire came down out of heaven from God, and devoured them. 020:010 The devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are also. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever. 020:011 I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. 020:012 I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. 020:013 The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades{or, Hell} gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. 020:014 Death and Hades{or, Hell} were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. 020:015 If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire. 021:001 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. 021:002 I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband. 021:003 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. 021:004 He will wipe away from them 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." 021:005 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." 021:006 He said to me, "It is done! 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. 021:007 He who overcomes, I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. 021:008 But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers,{The word for "sorcerers" here also includes users of potions and drugs.} idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death." 021:009 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were loaded with the seven last plagues came, and he spoke with me, saying, "Come here. I will show you the wife, the Lamb's bride." 021:010 He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, 021:011 having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it was a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 021:012 having a great and high wall; having 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. 021:013 On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 021:014 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb. 021:015 He who spoke with me had for a measure, a golden reed, to measure the city, its gates, and its walls. 021:016 The city lies foursquare, and its length is as great as its breadth. He measured the city with the reed, Twelve thousand twelve stadia{12,012 stadia = or 2,221 kilometers or 1,380 miles. TR reads 12,000 stadia instead of 12,012 stadia.}. Its length, breadth, and height are equal. 021:017 Its wall is one hundred forty-four cubits,{144 cubits is about 65.8 meters or 216 feet} by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. 021:018 The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass. 021:019 The foundations of the city's wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire{or, lapis lazuli}; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; 021:020 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst. 021:021 The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. 021:022 I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple. 021:023 The city has no need for the sun, neither of the moon, to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb. 021:024 The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 021:025 Its gates will in no way be shut by day (for there will be no night there), 021:026 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter. 021:027 There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life. 022:001 He showed me a{TR adds "pure"} river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, 022:002 in the middle of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 022:003 There will be no curse any more. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants serve him. 022:004 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 022:005 There will be no night, and they need no lamp light; for the Lord God will illuminate them. They will reign forever and ever. 022:006 He said to me, "These words are faithful and true. The Lord God of the spirits of the prophets sent his angel to show to his bondservants the things which must happen soon." 022:007 "Behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book." 022:008 Now I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. When I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who had shown me these things. 022:009 He said to me, "See you don't do it! I am a fellow bondservant with you and with your brothers, the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God." 022:010 He said to me, "Don't seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand. 022:011 He who acts unjustly, let him act unjustly still. He who is filthy, let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him do righteousness still. He who is holy, let him be holy still." 022:012 "Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work. 022:013 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 022:014 Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in by the gates into the city. 022:015 Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 022:016 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify these things to you for the assemblies. I am the root and the offspring of David; the Bright and Morning Star." 022:017 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" He who hears, let him say, "Come!" He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely. 022:018 I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, if anyone adds to them, may God add to him the plagues which are written in this book. 022:019 If anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, may God take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. 022:020 He who testifies these things says, "Yes, I come quickly." Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus. 022:021 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.
