The document describes the New Jerusalem in Revelation 21-22, comparing it to the paradise lost in Genesis and paradise regained in Revelation. Key details include: - The New Jerusalem has foundations of precious stones, gates of pearls, and streets of gold. - It has the river of life and tree of life from Eden restored. Redeemed humanity replaces innocence lost to sin. - The New Jerusalem has no need of sun or moon as God's presence illuminates it. There is no curse or night, only eternal life in God's presence.

1. The New Jerusalem Part 2
Revelation 21:15-22:5

2. • (15) The one who spoke with me had a gold
measuring rod to measure the city, and its gates
and its wall. (16) The city is laid out as a square,
and its length is as great as the width; and he
measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred
miles; its length and width and height are equal.
(17) And he measured its wall, seventy-two yards,
according to human measurements, which are also
angelic measurements.

4. • (18) The wall was made of jasper, and the city of
pure gold, as pure as glass. (19) The foundations of
the city walls were decorated with every kind of
precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the
second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth
emerald, (20) the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the
seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth
topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth,
and the twelfth amethyst.

5. • (21) The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each
gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the
city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass. NIV

24. • (22) I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the
Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

25. • (22) I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the
Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
• Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the
throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is
among men, and He will dwell among them, and
they shall be His people, and God Himself will be
among them,

26. • (23) And the city has no need of the sun or of the
moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has
illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. (24) The
nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the
earth will bring their glory into it.

27. • (23) And the city has no need of the sun or of the
moon to shine on it, for the glory of God has
illumined it, and its lamp is the Lamb. (24) The
nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the
earth will bring their glory into it.
• John 8:12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying,
"I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me
will not walk in the darkness, but will have the
Light of life."

28. • (25) In the daytime (for there will be no night
there) its gates will never be closed; (26) and they
will bring the glory and the honor of the nations
into it; (27) and nothing unclean, and no one who
practices abomination and lying, shall ever come
into it, but only those whose names are written in
the Lamb's book of life.

29. • (22:1) Then he showed me a river of the water of
life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of
God and of the Lamb, (2) in the middle of its
street. On either side of the river was the tree of
life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit
every month; and the leaves of the tree were for
the healing of the nations.

30. • John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said to her,
"Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst
again; (14) but whoever drinks of the water that I
will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I
will give him will become in him a well of water
springing up to eternal life."

who lives but a few days, Or an old man who does
not live out his days; For the youth will die at the

accursed.

42. • (4) they will see His face, and His name will be on

God will illumine them; and they will reign forever
and ever.

43. • 1 John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God,
and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We
know that when He appears, we will be like Him,
because we will see Him just as He is.
