          DASV: Revelation 21    

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven
and the first earth had passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of
heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Then I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Look, the
dwelling place of God is among humankind. He will live with
them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be
with them.
4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there
will be no more death, nor will there be any more mourning,
crying, or pain. The former things have passed away."
5 Now he who sits on the throne said, "Look, I am making all
things new." He said, "Write this down, for these words are
trustworthy and true."
6 Then he said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the
Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give free water
to the one who is thirsty from the spring of the water of
life.
7 The one who conquers will inherit these things, and I
will be his God, and he will be my son.
8 But to the cowardly, unbelieving, corrupt, murderers,
sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars,
their fate will be in the lake that burns with fire and
sulfur, which is the second death."

9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls,
who had the seven last plagues came and told me, "Come
here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
10 So 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.
11 It has the glory of God, her brilliance was like a
rare jewel, like jasper, clear as crystal.
12 It had a thick and high wall with twelve gates, and
at the gates twelve angels. On the gates were written
the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.
13 There were three gates on the east, and three gates
on the north, and three gates on the south, and three
gates on the west.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on
them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of
the Lamb.
15 The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod
to measure the city, and its gates and the walls.
16 The city was a square, with its length the same as its
width. He measured the city with the rod. It was 1400
miles with the length and width and the height all
being equal.
17 He also measured its wall, which was 216 feet thick
by human measurement, which was also the angel's standard.
18 The wall was built of jasper, and the city was pure
gold, like clear glass.
19 The foundations of the wall of the city was embedded
with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation
was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the
fourth emerald,
20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh
chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth
chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
21 The twelve gates were made of twelve pearls. Each gate
was a single pearl. The street of the city was pure gold
as transparent as glass.
22 Now I saw no temple there, for the Lord God Almighty
and the Lamb are its temple.
23 The city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine
on it, for the glory of God illuminates it and the Lamb
is its lamp.
24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of
the earth will bring their glory into it.
25 Its gates will never be closed during day (and there
will be no night there).
26 They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into
it.
27 But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who
does what is abominable or tells lies; but only those
who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
