Wherefore
Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood,
suffered without the gate.
Why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is
taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as
ye have seen him go into heaven.
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus
shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet,
and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other.
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with
the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the
dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall
we ever be with the Lord.
And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was
of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it
were transparent glass.
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the
Lamb are the temple of it.
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine
in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the
light thereof.
And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light
of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour
into it.
And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there
shall be no night there.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into
it.
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth,
neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they
which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
