And the twelve gates are twelve pearls &#8211; each one of the gates is made from just one pearl! The<n id="1" /> main street<n id="2" /> of the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.p>

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I looked and heard the voice of many angels in a circle around the throne, as well as the living creatures and the elders. Their<n id="2" /> number was ten thousand times ten thousand<n id="3" /> &#8211; thousands times thousands &#8211;

Then<n id="1" /> another sign appeared in heaven: a huge red dragon that had seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadem crowns.<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw another great and astounding sign in heaven: seven angels who have seven final plagues<n id="2" /> (they are final because in them God&#8217;s anger is completed).p>

He<n id="1" /> shouted with a powerful voice:p> <p class="poetry">&#8220;Fallen, fallen, is Babylon the great!p> <p class="poetry">She<n id="2" /> has become a lair for demons,p> <p class="poetry">a haunt<n id="3" /> for every unclean spirit,p> <p class="poetry">a haunt for every unclean bird,p> <p class="poetry">a haunt for every unclean and detested beast.<n id="4" />p>

It has<n id="1" /> a massive, high wall<n id="2" /> with twelve gates,<n id="3" /> with twelve angels at the gates, and the names of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel<n id="4" /> are written on the gates.<n id="5" />

The foundations of the city&#8217;s wall are decorated<n id="1" /> with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation is jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate,<n id="2" /> the fourth emerald,

Therefore write what you saw, what is, and what will be after these things.<n id="1" />

So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going<n id="1" /> to vomit<n id="2" /> you out of my mouth!

And the one seated on it was like jasper<n id="1" /> and carnelian<n id="2" /> in appearance, and a rainbow looking like it was made of emerald<n id="3" /> encircled the throne.

So<n id="1" /> I began weeping bitterly<n id="2" /> because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it.

The<n id="1" /> number of soldiers on horseback was two hundred million;<n id="2" /> I heard their number.

He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits<n id="1" /> according to human measurement, which is also the angel&#8217;s.<n id="2" />

The city&#8217;s<n id="1" /> wall is made<n id="2" /> of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.<n id="3" />

But you have a few individuals<n id="1" /> in Sardis who have not stained<n id="2" /> their clothes, and they will walk with me dressed<n id="3" /> in white, because they are worthy.

and in front of the throne was something like a sea of glass, like crystal.<n id="1" />p> <p class="bodytext">In<n id="2" /> the middle of the throne<n id="3" /> and around the throne were four living creatures<n id="4" /> full of eyes in front and in back.

and she<n id="1" /> fled into the wilderness<n id="2" /> where a place had been prepared for her<n id="3" /> by God, so she could be taken care of<n id="4" /> for 1,260 days.p>

The twenty-four elders and the four living creatures threw themselves to the ground<n id="1" /> and worshiped God, who was seated on the throne, saying: &#8220;Amen! Hallelujah!&#8221;p>

(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were finished.)<n id="1" /> This is the first resurrection.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist,<n id="2" /> and the sea existed no more.
