Once Upon a Dream

You being to feel drowsy as you lay down to sleep. You begin to dream of an age not to far from now. You are flying through space and you approach a massive world, many times the size of Jupiter. As you pass through the clouds you settle in an area of rolling green hills. You see forests, rivers and all kind of animals that seem friendly to your presence. You are amazed by your surroundings. Then, a king who reigns in majesty and glory approaches you. He beckons you to follow him. His voice is like the bubbling of a thousand brooks and the multitude of a million rivers. “The time has come, after the long battle to reward my servants and repay my enemies. Millions have been killed by my enemies, so I prepared place for them. But first I will reward my servants.”

You approach a massive valley filled with beautiful springs and surrounded by rolling forests, green hills, and majestic mountains. Millions and billions of people stand before a huge city. Not just any city, but a golden city of gems, jewels and glory. The city is set as a square 1400 miles wide and 1400 miles long. Surrounding the city is a wall 200 feet thick made of red, yellow, brown and green jasper, decorated with every type of precious stones, with 12 gates in it and each gate Is made of a single pearl, and out of the center of the city rises a mountain; a magnificent and awesome mountain that towers into the sky, 1400 miles high. Though you see it, our mind can’t even comprehend the height and magnificence of it, even though you are looking right at it. The king calls you and a multitude of others to follow him, but not all. As you entered one of the gates the road that stretches before you is made of pure gold, so clear you can see through it. The golden street has a river clear as crystal flowing through the middle of it. The first part of the cities foundation is of jasper and this foundation supports the lower level of the city. This level is miles and miles wide, circling the base of the mountain. You look at the river and notice on each side on the river you can see trees bearing twelve fruits, you know a different type of fruit will grow in each of the twelve months. By this you know there are months and years in this eternal land. The road is very wide with the trees, parks, places to sit, areas to play in the river, and the most beautiful butterflies and birds that you have ever seen. You notice there are houses of incredible beauty spaciously set on this level.

Those who were first in that previous life are up in front of the multitudes, these are those who served him and had every thing in life; wealth, fame, power, prestige, lavish furnishings and the most luxurious food. Those in front were given these houses and they were overjoyed with them. And the king says to them, “You shall tend to the business of the gates. For, the first shall be last. The king begins to walk up the road and those who where given houses start to physically change, their glory is like the glory of the jasper stones round about them. The street veers to the right up and around the mountain. The cities foundation is miles wide. The king continues across the great city’s first foundations till he led the multitude through lush meadows, farmlands and hills. The golden street begin to rise up the base of the mountain and it approached the city’s second foundation. A foundation made out of blue sapphire, sparkling like the ocean on a crystal clear day. The foundation is hundreds of feet high with crystal waterfalls flowing from its heights. Walkways, parks and houses could be seen the edge of the sapphire foundation. The golden street is so beautiful against the blue sapphire foundation. It looks like a massive sapphire gem stone with an exquisitely carved golden sliver flowing up its side. The King and the multitudes journey up to the second level of the city. The king then says, “This is the great river of life that gives life to all who drink of it.” On rising to the second level, those who had also been given much in their previous life were given houses, mansions and lands in this area. “You shall tend the plants and animals of this city.” And they were filled with joy.

The king continues on and the people that were given houses on this level start to change, they begin to shine like the radiance of sapphires as they head toward their new homes. The street continues to the right, going around the base of the mountain. Miles and miles have passed since your entrance at the gate. The street winds through hills and forests, with parks and rivers and the most beautiful animals you have ever seen. Across the second level and you spot the third level that is made of stones that look like the sparkly insides of thunder agates, the colors of the chalcedony are of the most beautiful shades’ exquisitely and thoughtful laid together by the master craftsman. Parks and fine mansions can be seen on the edge of this foundation; the mansions having waterfalls flowing from them. These mansions are ten times the homes of the lower houses. These mansions are high enough that you can see over the wall to the scenery beyond. Beautiful sunsets are viewed from this level and above. Mountains, hills, lush plains and forests of the world out side the city can be seen. The king says to the next part of the multitude that was up front, “Here are your homes, you believed in me, though you did not have much in life, nor did you strive much, but you did not block anyone’s view, so this view is given to you.”

As the king continues on, the multitude that was given houses here begin to shine like the brilliance of the inside of a thunder agate. They people are laughing and so full of joy as they sing songs of glory and honor to the king as they make their way to there new dwellings.
The lower levels are large and broad because of the largeness of the base of the mountain. Pretend in your minds eye, you see a mountain with a large base. Going up the mountain are twelve rings sitting on it, each higher that the next. Like a cone with gem bracelets each getting small and more beautiful the higher up on the cone. Each of these bracelets is the foundation of a level of this city. Each level circles the mountain; each foundation is intricately formed to perfectly embrace the beauty of this mountain.

Higher and higher the king, you, and the multitude go up; each new group in the front leaving the multitude to explore their new mansions and surroundings. Each level is more beautiful that the next. Each mansion custom built according to what the servant had done and their specific tastes. As the king and the multitude, that is now with him, dwindles down to a small number as you reach the eleventh level, where the foundation is made of reddish blue jacinth, with the golden street running through its level. “Blessed are you for you gave me our all. You suffered many things and even many of you died because of your love for me. Be blessed, for all eternity, for all your love to myself and mankind.” The small multitude that was given mansions here, on this level, shine like the brilliance of the sun. You ponder all those multitudes that he had rewarded on the lower levels, many hundreds of thousand who were first in their previous life were on the lower levels. Many who you never thought would be given a mansion, let alone ever get into heaven were rewarded on middle levels for what they had done in life. The king and the last small group goes up to the very top, made of purple amethyst. In the center of the level arises the pinnacle of the mountain which is carved into a large throne. Him who sits on it is shining like the brilliance of a billion suns. You can feel the power, you can feal the glory. Your heart begins to tremble. Then, wave after intense wave of peace and love flow over and through you. On his right side is a second throne. The king who has led you up here sits down on it. And then you notice written down the right side of his robe are the words, ‘King of kings and the Lord of lords.’ The very king rewarding those of the lower levels says to you who are left. “Blessed are you my bride, carved around the base of my throne are thrones prepared for each of you. You came to love me with such deep, deep love. You surrendered all out of your love for me, you kept nothing for yourselves. You were the last of all creation. Now you will be first of all. You kept no pride for yourselves, so here you are given glory. Here we are on the level of purple amethyst, the gem stone of royalty. Here you shall rule with me for you are my beloved bride.” You are awashed with such joy and tears, for you thought you had been forgotten in this life. “No, my bride, you were never forgotten.”

Each mansion on this level was fit for a hundred kings, but each person was given one of them for there own personal residence. Each mansion here has its own servants and pools, gardens and trees, but not even the splendor of these mansions compared to them who sit on the throne. The blessed of these graces shine like the noonday sun on a summer’s day. You notice the river of life flows out from under the throne and waters the whole city. The throne is exposed to the sky, 1400 miles high; way above all the clouds. The entire world of light could be seen from this vantage point and the entire world could see the brightness of our God as the crowning illuminary light shining from this massive jewel called the city of Jerusalem, the true city of peace.

The king begins to descend the mountain gathering those all whom he has rewarded. The king then gathered all who are left outside the city; the billions and billions of humanity outside the city gates. Thrones were set outside the city and those who had been given authority to judge sat on those thrones. All the angels, demons and the rest of mankind were judge to what they had done. The devil and his minions were rounded up by the angels and many religious folks were bound with them. Many of the so called Christians called out to the king and said, “We served you with all our hearts why are we being bound?” The king replied, “You served only your selves and the devil. You killed people in my name. You forced people to serve you and do evil things to others. You stole money from people in my name. You beat those who were starving. You tortured people and so you will receive your reward. You will be tortured for all eternity.” The rulers, the angels, the demons, and those who were brutally evil and all of creation were led by the king up to a smaller mountain outside the city. The mountain had no top, it had been sheared off and smoke arose from it. The dusty road up the mountain led up to a landing which looked down into a caldera. The side of the caldera where smooth and shear dropping hundreds of feet. The bottom of the pit was filled with fire, sulfur, and brimstone. “Cast the wicked into the lake of fire, where their worm shall not die and the fire is not quenched for all eternity, for this is their reward.” Screaming and gnashing of teeth was heard from those who were thrown in. Others yelled, “Just and true are your judgments O’ God, and great is your mercy, for according to your holiness all creation belongs in there; men and angels combined. True are your judgments and great is your mercy.” Those in the pit could see the city of beauty from where they were tormented. All eternity they will know what they have missed because they choose to do evil and torment people all their lives.

The king separated out a second group, these were made up of some of those from the nations and lots of religious folk. These were gathered into huge chariots and carried into a far off land. This land lay at the bottom of the world, separated by chasms and deserts that no being could cross. Continual darkness lay there. In this world, the world’s axis is not set on a tilt and the sun lay above the equator and so this land was in continual darkness, as the northern hemisphere in winter. But in this land darkness stays all year round. Those that were separated out were banished here. Some called out, “We served you all our lives, why are we cast here.” The king replied, “For you loved the darkness. You loved to keep my people and the world blind. You loved to keep people in their own personal darkness. You loved to tempt those who were beginning to pursue after me. You tempted them into darkness by greed, pride, power, and control. Since you loved the darkness, you are given what you loved, and this is your reward for all eternity.”

Many of the nations were left outside the city. The king came to them and said to them blessed are you for even though you did not know me, you are rewarded according to what you have done. Many of you stood for righteousness at the costs of your own personal gain and lives. Many of you devoted your lives to feed my starving children. Many of you gave to these my servants and you shall surely not loose your reward. Many of you battled against evils in this world, so according to what you had done, there are cities and nations set up for you according to your rewards.

A servant asked the king, O Great King, the world is so large this population though it is immense will barely even begin to fill this world. The King replied, “Have you not read where I spoke of this new earth that an infant will never die in childbirth again, but if that child fails to get to a hundred years old it will be thought of as accursed, and here the age of a man shall be as a tree. Man shall once again live for thousands of years and then he will face me to receive his eternal reward.” Then the servant responded, “Will there be sickness on this New Earth?” The king responded, have you not read that I have prepared for that, for the leaves of the trees of life are for the healing of the nations, if there is no sickness amongst the nations, why would I provide a tree whose leaves could heal them? Since, the unholy are not able to enter the city, you who are my kings and priests shall take them the healing leaves and heal their wounds, and they will send back such gifts that the splendor of the nations shall be gathered into the New Jerusalem, The New City of Peace, where my dwelling will be with mankind forever. According to what you have done, so shall you be rewarded.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.

To those who wish to know where all these Scriptures are located, the story is repeated with numbers that refer down to the Scriptures below.

You lay down to sleep and begin to dream. An age not to far from now1, you approach a massive world; many times the size of Jupiter2. As you pass through the clouds you settle in an area of rolling green hills3. You see forests and rivers and all kind of animals that seem friendly to your presence4. As you stand amazed at all your surroundings, a king who reigns in majesty and glory approaches you5. He beckons you to follow him. His voice is like the bubbling of a thousand brooks and the multitude of rivers6. “The time has come, after that long battle to reward my servants and repay my enemies7. Millions have been killed by my enemies, so I prepared place for them. But first I will reward my servants8.”

You approach a valley surrounded with rolling green hills, forests, mountains and springs. Millions and billions of people stand before a huge city. Not just any city, but a golden city of gems, jewels and glory9. The city is set as a square 1400 miles wide and 1400 miles long. Surrounding the city is a wall 200 feet thick made of red, yellow, brown and green jasper, decorated with every type of precious stones10, with 12 gates in it and each gate each was made of a single pearl11, and out of the center of the city rises a mountain; a magnificent and awesome mountain12 that towers into the sky, 1400 miles high10. Though you see it our mind can’t even comprehend the height and magnificence of it, even though you are looking right at it. The king calls you and a multitude of others to follow him, but not all. As you entered one of the gates the road that stretches before you is made of pure gold, so clear you can see through it13. The golden street has a river clear as crystal flowing through the middle of it14.

The first part of the cities foundation area of jasper and this foundation supports the lower level of the city15. This level is miles and miles wide, circling the base of the mountain. You look at the river and notice on each side on the river you can see trees bearing twelve fruits, you know a different type of fruit will grow in each of the twelve months16.

The king begins to walk up the road and those who where given houses start to physically change; their glory is like the glory f the jasper stones round about them. The street veers to the right up and around the mountain. The cities foundation is miles wide. The king continues across the great city’s first foundations till he led the multitude through lush meadows, farmlands and hills.

The golden street began to rise up the base of the mountain and it approached the city’s second foundation. A foundation made out of blue sapphire15, sparkling like the ocean on a crystal clear day.

As the king continues on, the multitude that was given houses here begin to shine like the brilliance of the inside of a thunder agate15. They people are laughing and so full of joy as they sing songs of glory and honor to the king as they make their way to there new dwellings.
The lower levels are large and broad because of the largeness of the base of the mountain. Pretend in your minds eye, you see a mountain with a large base.

Each of these bracelets is the foundation of a level of this city. Each level circles the mountain; each foundation is intricately formed to perfectly embrace the beauty on the mountain18.

Higher and higher the king, you, and the multitude go up; each new group in the front leaving the multitude to explore their new mansions and surroundings. Each level is more beautiful that the next. Each mansion custom built according to what the servant had done and their specific tastes.

You ponder all those multitudes that he had rewarded on the lower levels, many hundreds of thousand who were first in their previous life were on the lower levels. Many who you never thought would be given a mansion, let alone ever get into heaven were rewarded on higher levels for what they had done in life. The king and the last small group goes up to the very top, made of purple amethyst. In the center of the level arises the pinnacle of the mountain which is carved into a large throne20. Him who sits on it is shining like the brilliance of a billion suns21. You can feel the power, you can fear the glory. Your heart begins to tremble. Then, wave after intense wave of peace and love flow over and through you. On his right side is a second throne22. The king who has led you up here sits down on it. And then you notice written down the right side of his robe are the words, ‘King of kings and the Lord of lords.23’ The very king rewarding those of the lower levels says to you who are left. “Blessed are you my bride, carved around the base of my throne are thrones prepared for each of you. You came to love me with such deep, deep love. You surrendered all out of your love for me, you kept nothing for yourselves. You were the last of all creation. Now you will be first of all. You kept no pride for yourselves, so here you are given glory. Here we are on the level of purple amethyst15, the gem stone of royalty. Here you shall rule with me for you are my beloved bride.” You are then so awashed with such joy and tears, for you thought you had been forgotten in this life. “No, my bride, you were never forgotten.”
Each mansion on this level was fit for a hundred kings, but each person was given one of them for there own personal residence. Each mansion here has its own servants and pools, gardens and trees, but not even the splendor of these mansions compared to them who sit on the throne. The blessed of these graces shine like the noonday sun on a summer’s day24. You notice the river of life flows out from under the throne25 and waters the whole city. The throne was exposed to the sky, 1400 miles high; way above all the clouds. The entire world could be seen from this vantage point and the entire world could see the brightness of our God as the crowning light shining from this massive jewel called the city of Jerusalem26, the true city of peace.

The king begins to descend the mountain gathering those all whom he has rewarded. The king then gathered all who are left outside the city; the billions and billions of humanity outside the city gates. Thrones were set outside the city and those who had been given authority to judge sat on those thrones27. All the angels, demons and the rest of mankind were judge to what they had done.

Many of the so called Christians called out to the king and said, “We served you with all our hearts why are we being bound?” The king replied, “You served only your selves and the devil.

A servant asked the king, O Great King, the world is so large this population though it is immense will barely even begin to fill this world.

Since, none who are unholy will be able to enter the city36, you who are my kings and priests shall take them the healing leaves and heal their wounds, and they will send back such gifts that the splendor of the nations shall be gathered into the New Jerusalem37, The New City of Peace, where my dwelling will be with mankind forever. According to what you have done, so shall you be rewarded38.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life39.

Scriptures

1) Rev 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”

2) If you place the New Jerusalem 1400 miles by 1400 miles by 1400 miles high on the world which is 8000 miles in diameter it looks like a square coffee can on that basketball. The city is almost one quarter the size of the earth. So, on this premise I believe it will be massive.

3) Isa 55:12 You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.
Isa 55:13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree, and instead of briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the LORD'S renown, for an everlasting sign, which will not be destroyed.”

4) Isa 65:17 “Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
Isa 65:25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent’s food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain,” says the LORD.

5) 2Th 1:9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power

6) Rev 1:15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.

7) Rev 14:7 He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”
Rev 5:13 Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”

8) Rev 22:12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.

9) Rev 21:19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone.

10) Rev 21:15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls.
Rev 21:16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long.
Rev 21:17 He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man’s measurement, which the angel was using.

11) Rev 21:12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Rev 21:13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west.

12) Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

13) Rev 21:21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.

14) Rev 22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

15) Rev 21:14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:20b The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
Rev 21:20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

16) Rev 22:2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

17) Mt 19:30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.

18) The city has twelve foundations and so this is the authors rendition of what the shape of the city is comprised of.

19) Da 12:3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.

20) Rev 22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
Rev 21:22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Since the city is set on a mountain and there is a throne but no temple and the river of life flows out from the throne of the temple, the water must run down hill to water the whole city so the throne on the highest place, plus he is the Most High, and since there is no temple that the throne is outside.

21) Rev 1:16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
Rev 1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.

22) 1Pe 3:21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
1Pe 3:22 who has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.

Author’s Notes
40) This is the best so far that the author can figure out, and the most it has been reveled to him on how the New Earth will look and be like. The areas no listed are conjecture like new earth not being set on and axis, the sun being above the its equator, so that the south pole is continual darkness. There are many things that Scripture talks about the New Earth that are not taught in Modern Christianity. The world tends to think that heaven is going to be boring, they are probably right, because we will all be on the New Earth and nobody will actually be in heaven for long anyway. The apostles in their writings used the knowledge of the New Earth to motivate people to peruse righteousness and to fear God. Below are some of the same reference, but they are just listed in their full context and chronological order for easy reading. There are some other Scripture references also. I hope this inspires you and I hope you were blessed by the New Earth vision set in the style of a dream. Even this story no matter how close to the real Jerusalem will in no wise bring out all the glory that God has in store for us. We will be totally amazed. May the Lord bless you with such increased revelation of His love and the city of New Jerusalem, for as Hebrews says,

Heb 11:8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
Heb 11:9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
Heb 11:10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

Isa 65:17 “Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
Isa 65:18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy.
Isa 65:19 I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more.
Isa 65:20 “Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an old man who does not live out his years; he who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere youth; he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.
Isa 65:21 They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Isa 65:22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the works of their hands.
Isa 65:23 They will not toil in vain or bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD, they and their descendants with them.
Isa 65:24 Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.
Isa 65:25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but dust will be the serpent’s food. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain,” says the LORD.

Isa 66:22 “As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will endure before me,” declares the LORD, “so will your name and descendants endure.
Isa 66:23 From one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the LORD.
Isa 66:24 “And they will go out and look upon the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

Gal 4:25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
Gal 4:26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
Gal 4:27 For it is written: “Be glad, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have no labor pains; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband.”

Heb 11:9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.
Heb 11:10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

Heb 11:13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth.
Heb 11:14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own.
Heb 11:15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.
Heb 11:16 Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

Heb 12:22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly,
Heb 12:23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of righteous men made perfect,
Heb 12:24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

Heb 13:13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore.
Heb 13:14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.

2Pe 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
2Pe 3:11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives
2Pe 3:12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat.
2Pe 3:13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
2Pe 3:14 So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
2Pe 3:15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him.

Rev 3:11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.
Rev 3:12 Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name.
Rev 3:13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Rev 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 longer any sea.
Rev 21:2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
Rev 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
Rev 21:5 He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
Rev 21:6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.
Rev 21:7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
Rev 21:8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Rev 21:9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
Rev 21:11 It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
Rev 21:12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Rev 21:13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west.
Rev 21:14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls.
Rev 21:16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long.
Rev 21:17 He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man’s measurement, which the angel was using.
Rev 21:18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.
Rev 21:19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,
Rev 21:20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.
Rev 21:21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.
Rev 21:22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Rev 21:23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
Rev 21:24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.
Rev 21:25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there.
Rev 21:26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.
Rev 21:27 Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

The River of Life

Rev 22:1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
Rev 22:2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
Rev 22:4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.
Rev 22:5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
Rev 22:6 The angel said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place.”

Jesus Is Coming

Rev 22:7 “Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book.”

Rev 22:8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me.
Rev 22:9 But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
Rev 22:10 Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near.
Rev 22:11 Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy.”

Rev 22:12 “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.
Rev 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
Rev 22:14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
Rev 22:15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
Rev 22:16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”

Rev 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.

Rev 22:18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book.
Rev 22:19 And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
Rev 22:20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
Rev 22:21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
