The new Jerusalem1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away and the sea no longer existed.2And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending from heaven, from God, prepared as a Bride beautifully dressed for her husband.3And I heard a loud voice coming from the throne, saying: "Look, the holy dwelling place of God is with men and He will remain among them. They will be His people and God Himself will be with them.4He will wipe away every tear from their eyes and there will be no more death, no more grief nor crying nor pain, for the old order has passed away."5He who sat on the throne said: "Look, I make everything new." He added: "Write this down, because these words are trustworthy and true."6Then He said to me: "It is accomplished. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To those who are thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life.7The victorious shall inherit these things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.
