Revelation 20-22

Revelation 20

¹And I saw an angel descending from the heaven, having the key of the abyss, and a great chain in his hand.

²And he laid hold of the dragon, the ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

³and cast him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, that he should not any more deceive the nations until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be loosed for a little time.

⁴And I saw thrones; and they sat upon them, and judgment was given to them; and the souls of those beheaded on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the word of God; and those who had not done homage to the beast nor to his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and hand; and they lived and reigned with the Christ a thousand years:

⁵the rest of the dead did not live till the thousand years had been completed. This is the first resurrection.

⁶Blessed and holy he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shall be priests of God and of the Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

⁷And when the thousand years have been completed, Satan shall be loosed from his prison,

⁸and shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the war, whose number is as the sand of the sea.

⁹And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of the heaven and devoured them.

¹⁰And the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where are both the beast and the false prophet; and they shall be tormented day and night for the ages of ages.

¹¹And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled, and place was not found for them.

¹²And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is that 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 which were in it, and death and hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged each according to their works:

¹⁴and death and hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death, even the lake of fire.

¹⁵And if any one was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

Revelation 21

¹And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more.

²And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

³And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God.

⁴And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.

⁵And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says to me, Write, for these words 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 thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely.

⁷He that overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be to him God, and he shall be to me son.

⁸But to the fearful and unbelieving, and sinners, and those who make themselves abominable, and murderers, and fornicators, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone; which is the second death.

⁹And there came one of the seven angels which had had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues, and spoke with me, saying, Come here, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

¹⁰And he carried me away in the Spirit, and set me on a great and high mountain, and shewed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God,

¹¹having the glory of God. Her shining was like a most precious stone, as a crystal-like jasper stone;

¹²having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names inscribed, which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.

¹³On the east three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

¹⁴And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

¹⁵And he that spoke with me had a golden reed as a measure, that he might measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.

¹⁶And the city lies four-square, and its length is as much as the breadth. And he measured the city with the reed -- twelve thousand stadia: the length and the breadth and height of it are equal.

¹⁷And he measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, a man's measure, that is, the angel's.

¹⁸And the building of its wall was jasper; and the city pure gold, like pure glass:

¹⁹the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone: the first foundation, jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

²⁰the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

²¹And the twelve gates, twelve pearls; each one of the gates, respectively, was of one pearl; and the street of the city pure gold, as transparent glass.

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

²³And the city has no need of the sun nor of the moon, that they should shine for it; for the glory of God has enlightened it, and the lamp thereof is the Lamb.

²⁴And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory to it.

²⁵And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there.

²⁶And they shall bring the glory and the honour of the nations to it.

²⁷And nothing common, nor that maketh an abomination and a lie, shall at all enter into it; but those only who are written in the book of life of the Lamb.

Revelation 22

¹And he shewed me a river of water of life, bright as crystal, going out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

²In the midst of its street, and of the river, on this side and on that side, the tree of life, producing twelve fruits, in each month yielding its fruit; and the leaves of the tree for healing of the nations.

³And no curse shall be any more; and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him,

⁴and they shall see his face; and his name is on their foreheads.

⁵And night shall not be any more, and no need of a lamp, and light of the sun; for the Lord God shall shine upon them, and they shall reign to the ages of ages.

⁶And he said to me, These words are faithful and true; and the Lord God of the spirits of the prophets has sent his angel to shew to his bondmen the things which must soon come to pass.

⁷And behold, I come quickly. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.

⁸And I, John, was he who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to do homage before the feet of the angel who shewed me these things.

⁹And he says to me, See thou do it not. I am thy fellow-bondman, and the fellow-bondman of thy brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Do homage to God.

¹⁰And he says to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book. The time is near.

¹¹Let him that does unrighteously do unrighteously still; and let the filthy make himself filthy still; and let him that is righteous practise righteousness still; and he that is holy, let him be sanctified still.

¹²Behold, I come quickly, and my reward with me, to render to every one as his work shall be.

¹³*I* am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

¹⁴Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have right to the tree of life, and that they should go in by the gates into the city.

¹⁵Without are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the fornicators, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and every one that loves and makes a lie.

¹⁶*I* Jesus have sent mine angel to testify these things to you in the assemblies. *I* am the root and offspring of David, the bright and morning star.

¹⁷And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that hears say, Come. And let him that is athirst come; he that will, let him take the water of life freely.

¹⁸*I* testify to every one who hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any one shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book.

¹⁹And if any one take from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book.

²⁰He that testifies these things says, Yea, I come quickly. Amen; come, Lord Jesus.

²¹The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints.
