the Christ, and will reign with him the thousand years.

6 And after the thousand years, Satan will be loosed from his prison :

7 and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to the battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea:

8 and they went up on the breadth of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city but, fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them:

9 and the Devil, that deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where also are the wild-beast and the false prophet; and they will be tormented, day and night, for ever and ever.

10 And I saw a great white throne, and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and no place was found for them:

11 and I saw the dead standing before the throne, and they opened the Books; and another book was opened, which is the BOOK OF LIFE: and the dead were judged from the things that were written in the Books, according to their works:

12 and the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and the grave gave up

the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one, according to their works: 13 and Death and the Grave were cast into the lake of fire; this, is the SECOND DEATH:

14 and, if any one was not found written in the BOOK OF LIFE, he was cast into the lake

of fire.

CHAPTER XXI.

c. xxi. 9.

2 Pet. iii. 13.

ND I saw a NEW HEAVEN Heb. ii. 5. and a NEW EARTH: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; the sea, also, was no more:

2 and I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband:

3 and I heard a loud voice out of heaven, saying, "Be

hold, the Tabernacle of God "is with men, and He will "dwell with them, and they "shall be His people, and God "Himself will be with them: 4" and He will wipe away

every tear from their eyes; c. vii. 17. "and death shall be no more, "neither sorrow, nor crying; "neither shall pain be any "more, for the former things "are passed away!"

5 And he who sat on the throne said, "BEHOLD, I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW!" 6 And he said to me, "Write,

10 And one of the seven angels that had the Seven Cups full of the Seven last Scourges came and spake to me, saying, "Come hither; I will shew "thee the Bride, the Wife of "the Lamb:"

11 and he carried me away, in the spirit, to a great and high mountain, and shewed me the Holy City, JERUSALEM, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God:

12 its luminary, was like a most precious stone; like a jasper stone, clear as crystal:

13 it had a great and high wall; it had twelve gates, and

at the gates twelve angels; and on the gates, were names written, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

14 on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates:

15 and the wall of the city had twelve foundations; and, on them, the names of the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb.

16 And he that spake to me, had for a measure a golden reed, to measure the city, and its gates:

17 and the City lieth foursquare; and its length is the same as its breadth and he measured the City with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs: its length twelve thousand, and its breadth and its height are equal:

18 and its wall is an hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel :

19 and, the structure of its wall is jasper: and the city is pure gold, like to clear glass:

20 the foundations of the wall of the city, are garnished with every precious stone: the first foundation is jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; 21 the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh,

chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprasus; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst: 22 and, the twelve gates are twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city is pure gold, transparent as glass.

23 And I saw no Sanctuary in it, for the Lord God Almighty, and the Lamb, are its Sanctuary:

24 and, the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it for, the Glory itself of God lighted it, and its Lamp is the Lamb.

25 And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of

river, the Tree of Life, bearing twelve fruits, and yielding, each its fruit, every month: and the leaves of the tree, were for the healing of the nations :

31 and there will be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it; 32 and his servants will serve him, and will see his face; and his name will be on their foreheads:

33 and there will be no night, and no need of a lamp, or of light; for, the Lord God will light them, and they will reign for ever and ever.

CHAPTER XXII.

tions :

26 and its gates shall not be daily shut; for there will be no night there:

27 and they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations, that they may enter into it:

28 and nothing that defileth, or that worketh abomination, or a lie, shall enter into it: but, they only who are written in the Book of Life of the Lamb. 29 And he shewed me, in the middle of its open place, a river of Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb;

30 and, on either side of the

"words are faithful and "true: and the Lord God of the

"of those who keep the words "of this book worship God." 5 And he saith to me, "Seal "not the words of the prophecy "of this book; for the time is "at hand:

6" he that is unjust, let him "be unjust still; and he that "is filthy, let him be filthy "still: and he that is just, "let him be just still; and he "that is holy, let him be holy "still.

7 "Behold, I come quickly; "and my reward is with me, to "render to every one accord'ing as his work shall be:

8 "I am the ALPHA and "the OMEGA, the first and the "last, the BEGINNING and the "END:

9" Blessed are they who "do His commandments, that "they may have a right to "the Tree of Life; and may "enter, through the gates, "into the City:

10" without, are dogs, and "sorcerers, and whoremongers, "and murderers, and idolaters, "and every one that loveth and "maketh a lie.

"these things, concerning the "Churches.

12 "I am both the root and Rom. xv. 12. "the off-set of David; the

bright morning star.

13" And the Spirit, and the "Bride, say, Come!' and let "him that heareth, say, 'Come!' "and let him that is athirst, 66 come; and let him, who will, "take freely of the Water of "Life.

14 "I testify, to every one "that heareth the words of "the prophecy of this Book, "that, If any one add to them, "God will add to him the "Scourges that are written in "this Book:

15 and, that if any one take

away from the words of the "Book of this Prophecy, God "will take away his portion of "the Tree of Life; and, of the "things of the Holy City, which

are written in this Book.” 16 He who testifieth these things saith, "Surely I come "quickly!"

17 Amen! even so, come, Lord Jesus!

18 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, be with all the saints! Amen!
