10 out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are also the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night 'for ever and ever. 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat upon it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne; and books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according 14 to their works. And death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even 15 the lake of fire. And if any was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire. 21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth are passed away; 2 2 and the sea is no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her hus3 band. And I heard a great voice out of the throne saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall dwell with them, and they shall be his 3 Gr. tabernacle. peoples, and God himself shall be with them, and be 4 4 their God: and he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more; neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more: 5 the first things are passed away. And he that sitteth on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he saith, "Write: for these words are 6 faithful and true. And he said unto me, They are come to pass. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and 8 I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But for the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part shall be in the lake that burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain 10 great and high, and shewed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, having 11 the glory of God: her 'light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal: having a wall great and high; having twelve 12 2gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: on the east were 13 three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three 'gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, 14 and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And he that spake with me had for a 15 measure a golden reed to measure the city, and the 2gates thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city 16 lieth foursquare, and the length thereof is as great as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: the length and the breadth and the height thereof are equal. And 17 he measured the wall thereof, a hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. And the building of the wall 18 thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure glass. The foundations of the wall of 19 the city were adorned with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the sec3 Or, lapis lazuli ond, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth,emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the sev- 20 enth, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. And the twelve gates were 21 twelve pearls; each one of the several 2gates was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, 5 Or, transparent as it were transparent glass. And I saw no temple 22 therein: for the Lord God the Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple thereof. And the city hath 23 no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine the lamp thereof. upon it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb. And the nations shall 24 walk 'amidst the light thereof: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory into it. And the gates 25 thereof shall in no wise be shut by day (for there shall be no night there): and they shall bring the 26 glory and the honour of the nations into it: and 27

And he shewed me a river of water of life, sor, the Lamb. In bright as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of the midst of the 2 God and of the Lamb, in the midst of the street thereof. And on this side of the river and on that was 'the tree of life, bearing twelve manner of 4 Or, a tree fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves 5 Or, crops of fruit 3 of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

8 And I John am he that heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these 9 things.
