4 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was aas it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, bCome up hither, and cI will shew thee things which must be hereafter. 2 And immediately dI was in the spirit: and, behold, efa throne was set fin heaven, and one sat on the throne. 3 And he that sat was to look upon like a gjasper and a hsardine stone: and there was ia rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an jemerald. 4 And kround about the throne were lfour and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw lmfour and twenty elders sitting, nclothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads ocrowns of gold. 5 And out of the throne proceeded plightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven qlamps of fire burning before the throne, which are rthe seven Spirits of God. 6 And before the throne there was sa sea of glass like unto sscrystal: and tin the midst of the throne, and kround about the throne, were tfour beasts ufull of eyes before and vbehind. 7 And wthe first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. 8 And the four beasts had each of them xsix wings about him; and they were ufull of eyes within: and †they rest not yday and night, saying, zHoly, holy, holy, Lord God aAlmighty, bwhich was, and is, and is to come. 9 And when those beasts give cglory and chhonour and dthanks to him that sat on the throne, ewho liveth for ever and ever, 10 fThe four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship ehim that liveth for ever and ever, and cast ftheir crowns before the throne, saying, 11 gThou art worthy, O Lord, to receive cglory and chhonour and power: for ithou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

20 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, ahaving the key of bthe bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. 2 And he laid hold on cthe dragon, dthat old serpent, which is ethe Devil, and fSatan, and gbound him a thousand years, 3 And cast him into bthe bottomless pit, and shut him up, and hset a seal upon him, that dihe should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.

4 And I saw kthrones, and lthey sat upon them, and mjudgment was given unto them: and I saw nthe souls of othem that were beheaded for pthe witness of Jesus, and for pthe word of God, and qwhich had not worshipped the beast, neither rhis image, neither shad received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and treigned with Christ ua thousand years. 5 But the rest of the dead vlived not again until uthe thousand years were finished. This is wthe first resurrection. 6 xBlessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such ythe second death hath no power, but they shall be zpriests of God and of Christ, and tshall reign with him ua thousand years.

7 And when uthe thousand years are expired, fSatan shall be loosed aout of his prison, 8 And shall go out bto deceive the nations which are in cthe four quarters of the earth, dGog and Magog, eto gather them together to fbattle: gthe number of whom is as the sand of the sea. 9 And hthey went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed ithe camp of the saints about, and kthe beloved city: and lfire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them. 10 And the devil that bdeceived them mwas cast into the lake nof fire and brimstone, mwhere the beast and mthe false prophet are, and nshall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face othe earth and the heaven fled away; and pthere was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, qsmall and great, stand before God; and rthe books were opened: and another book was opened, swhich is the book of life: and tthe dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, uaccording to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and vdeath and ||hell wdelivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged uevery man according to their works. 14 And xdeath and hell mwere cast into the lake of fire. This is ythe second death. 15 And whosoever was not found written in sthe book of life mwas cast into the lake of fire.

21 And I saw aa new heaven and a new earth: for bthe first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and cthere was no more sea. 2 And I dJohn saw ethe holy city, fnew Jerusalem, fgcoming down from God out of heaven, prepared has a bride iadorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, jthe tabernacle of God is with men, and he will kdwell with them, and jthey shall be his people, and lGod himself shall be with them, and be their God. 4 And llGod shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and mthere shall be no more death, nneither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for bthe former things are passed away. 5 And ohe that sat upon the throne said, Behold, pI make all things new. And he said unto me, qWrite: for rthese words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, sIt is done. tI am Alpha and Omega, tthe beginning and the end. uI will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life vfreely. 7 wHe that overcometh xshall inherit ||yall things; and zI will be his God, and he shall be amy son. 8 But bthe fearful, and iunbelieving, and cthe abominable, and demurderers, and dfwhoremongers, and dgsorcerers, and didolaters, and dhall liars, shall have their ipart in jthe lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is kthe second death.

9 And there came unto me lone of mthe seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, lCome hither, I will shew thee nthe bride, the Lamb’s wife. 10 And ohe carried me away oin the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, nthe holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 pHaving the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like qa jasper stone, rclear as crystal; 12 And had a wall great and high, and shad twelve tgates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 suOn the east three tgates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of vthe city had twelve wfoundations, and xin them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he that talked with me had a golden yreed to measure the city, and the tgates thereof, and the wall thereof. 16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with y…
