AND I saw an angel descending from heaven, having the key of the abyssof hell, and a great chain in his hand:2and he seized on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,3and cast him into the abyss, and shut him up, and put a seal upon it, that he might deceive the nations no more until the thousand years are completed: and after that he must be loosed a short time.4And I saw thrones, and persons were seated upon them, and authority to judge was given to them: and I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and who had not worshipped the beast, nor his image, and had not received the brand in their foreheads, and upon their right hand; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.5But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years are completed. This is the first resurrection.6Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection; over these the second death hath no dominion: but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and they shall reign with him a thousand years.7And when the thousand years shall be completed, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison;8and he shall go forth to deceive the nations that are in the four corners of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea.9And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and encircled the camp of the saints, and the beloved city: and there came down fire from God out of heaven, and devoured them up.10And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and they shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11And I saw a great white throne, and one sat upon it, from whose presence fled the earth and the heaven, and no place was found for them.12And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things written in the books according to their works.13And the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and the grave gave up the dead that were in them; and every one was judged according to his works.14And death and the grave were cast into the lake of fire: this is the second death.15And if any one was not found inscribed on the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.2And I John saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.3And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, Behold the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall pitch his tent with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their own God.4And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more; nor shall mourning, nor crying, nor toil be any more: because the former things are passed away.5And he that sat upon the throne said, Lo! I make all things new: and he said unto me, Write that these sayings are true and faithful.6And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end; I will give to him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.7He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be to him a God, and he shall be to me a son.8But to those who shrink back through fear, and to the infidels, and to the abominable, and to murderers, and to whoremongers, and to those who use magical incantations, and to idolaters, and to all liars, is their portionappointedin the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.
9And there came to me one of the seven angels who held the seven vases full of the seven last plagues, and he talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.10And he bore me away in spirit unto a great and exceeding high mountain, and shewed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,11having the glory of God: and her brilliance was like the most precious gem, as a jasper stone, transparent as crystal;12and she had a great wall and lofty, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.13From the east three gates; from the north three gates; from the south three gates; from the west three gates.14And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.15And he that talked with me held a golden cane to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.16And the city is a quadrangle, and the breadth of it is just as much as the length of it; and he measured the city with the cane, twelve thousand furlongs: the breadth, and the length, and the height of it, are exactly proportioned.17He measured also the wall of it a hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, for such is that of an angel.
18The structure of the wall of it was jasper, and the city pure gold, like clear glass.19And the foundations of the walls of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation a jasper; the second a sapphire; the third a chalcedony; the fourth an emerald;20the fifth a sardonyx; the sixth a sardius; the seventh a chrysolite; the eighth a beryl; the ninth a topaz; the tenth a chrysoprasus; the eleventh a jacinth; the twelfth an amethyst.21And the twelve gates were twelve several pearls; every one of the gates was of one pearl; and the street of the city was pure gold, as transparent glass.
22And I saw no temple therein; for the Lord God Almighty is the temple thereof, even the Lamb.23And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine upon it: for the glory of God illuminates it, and the Lamb is the lamp thereof.24And the nations of those that are saved shall walk about in the light thereof; and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory and their honour into it;25and her gates shall be never shut by day (for there is no night there);26and they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations into it.27And there shall no more enter into it any thing unclean, or that practises abomination and lying; but only those who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
AND he shewed me a clear river of water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.2In the midst of the street of it, even on this side, and on that of the river, grew the tree of life, producing twelve crops of fruit, and ripening its fruit in succession every month; and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
3And no accursed thing is there any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb are in it, and his servants will pay divine worship to him.4And they shall see his face; and his name shall be on their foreheads.5And there shall be no night there, and they have no need of a lamp, or the light of the sun; because the Lord God illumines them: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
6And he said to me, These words are faithful and true. And the Lord God of the holy prophets hath sent his angel to shew to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass.7Behold, I come quickly! blessed is he that observeth the words of the prophecy of this book.
8And I John saw and heard these things. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things.9And he said to me, See thou do it not; for I am a fellow-servant of thine, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who observe the words of this book: worship God.10And he said to me, Seal not up the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still; and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still.12And behold, I come quickly: and my reward is with me, to give to every man as his work shall be.13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.14Blessed are they who keep his commandments, that they may have authority to approach unto the tree of life, and that they may enter in by the gates into the city.15But without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and every one who loveth and maketh a lie.
16I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright and morning star.17And the spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him who is athirst come: and whosoever is desirous, let him take of the water of life freely.18For I testify to every one who heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man add to these things, God will lay upon him the plagues that are written in this book:19and if any take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the book of life, and from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20He that testifieth these things saith, Verily, I come quickly. Amen. Yea come, Lord Jesus!
21The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
