AI-assisted, sourcedRevelation 21:9-21The holy Jerusalem
About Revelation 21John sees "a new heaven and a new earth" and "the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband," and hears, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them," and "God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death." He that sat on the throne says, "Behold, I make all things new," and offers the water of life freely, but the unbelieving and the wicked have their part in "the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." An angel shows John "the bride, the Lamb's wife," the holy Jerusalem with twelve gates and twelve foundations, where there is no temple, "for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it," and only those "written in the Lamb's book of life" enter.
