1 of God is among mortals.

He will dwell with them;

they will be his peoples,

and God himself will be with them and be their God;

4 the first things have passed away.”

5 the polluted, the murderers, the sexually immoral, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Vision of the New Jerusalem

9 he carried me away to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.

11 of the twelve tribes of the Israelites:

13on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.

14 who talked to me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls.

16The city has four equal sides, its length the same as its width, and he measured the city with his rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and width and height are equal.

17He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits by human measurement, which the angel was using.

18The wall is built of jasper, while the city is pure gold, clear as glass.

19The foundations of the wall of the city are adorned with every jewel; the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,

20the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.

21And the twelve gates are twelve pearls, each of the gates is a single pearl, and the street of the city is pure gold, transparent as glass.

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

23Isa 24.23; 60.19, 20; Rev 22.5And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

24Isa 60.3, 5The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.

25Isa 60.11; Zech 14.7; Rev 22.5Its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.

26People will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.

27Isa 52.1; Joel 3.17; Rev 3.5; 22.14But nothing unclean will enter it, nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
