OrthJBC - Revelation of John - 21

21:1  And I saw Shomayim Chadashim and Eretz Chadasha for the Shomayim HaRishonah and HaAretz HaChadasha passed away, and there is no longer an Yam.

21:2  And I saw the Ir Hakodesh, the Yerushalayim HaChadasha coming down and descending out of Shomayim from Hashem, having been made ready as a Kallah adorned for her Ba'al. [Nechemyah 11:18; Yeshayah 52:1]

21:3  And I heard a kol gadol, a Bat Kol from the kisse saying, "hinei!--the mishkan of Hashem is with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and He himself--Immanu-El--will be their G-d. [Shemot 25:8; Divrey Hayamim Bais 6:18; Yechezkel 48:35; Zecharyah 2:10]

21:4  And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and Mavet will be, nor agmat nefesh nor crying nor pain will be any longer; the former things have passed away." [Yeshayah 25:8; 35:10]

21:5  And said the One sitting on the kisseh, "hinei!--I make all things chadash." And he says, "Write, for these dvarim are ne'emanim and amittiyim."

21:6  And he said to me, "It is finished! I am the Alef and the Tav, the Reshit and the Ketz. To the one thirsting I will give of the Mayan (Fountain) of the mayim Chayyim (Life) freely. [Yeshayah 55:1]

21:7  The one who wins the nitzachon victory, shall inherit these things and I will be his G-d and he will be to me Beni.[Shmuel Bais 7:14]

21:8  But for those of morech lev (cowardliness) and those without emunah and ones having become vile and rotzkhim (murderers) and zonim (fornicators) and mekhashfim (sorcerers) and ovdei haelilim (idolaters) and all the shakranit (liars), their part will be in HaAgam burning with aish (fire) and gofrit (sulfur), which is HaMavet HaSheyni. [Tehillim 5:6] THE YERUSHALAYIM HACHADASHA

21:9  And one of the shevat hamalachim having the sheva ke'arot (bowls) being full of the last sheva makkot (plagues), came and spoke with me, saying "Bo! I will show you the Kallah of the Seh (Lamb, Yeshayah 53:7).

21:10  And he carried me away in Ruach Hakodesh onto a great and high mountain, and showed me Ir Hakodesh, Yerushalayim descending and coming down out of Shomayim from G-d Hashem, [Yechezkel 40:2]

21:11  having the kavod (glory) of Hashem, his Shekhinah was like a precious stone, even a jasper, clear as crystal, [Yeshayah 60:1,2; Yechezkel 43:2]

21:12  having a great and high wall, having Sheneym Asar shi'arim, and at the shi'arim Sheneym Asar malachim, and Shemot (Names) were inscribed on them, which are the shemot of the Sheneym Asar shivtei habnei Yisroel (tribes of the sons of Israel). [Yechezkel 48:30-34]

21:13  There were shloshah shi'arim on the mizrach (east), there were shloshah shi'arim on the tzafon (north), and shloshah shi'arim on the darom (south) and shloshah shi'arim on the ma'arav (west).

21:14  And the wall of the Ir Hakodesh had Sheneym Asar Foundation Stones, and on them were the Sheneym Asar shemot (names) of the Sheneym Asar Shluchim of the Seh (Lamb, Yeshayah 53:7).

21:15  And the one speaking with me had a gold measuring rod, that he might measure the Ir Hakodesh and its shi'arim and its wall. [Yechezkel 40:3]

21:16  And the city is laid out foursquare, shaped like a cube, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the Ir Hakodesh with the rod across stadia Sheneym Asar thousand, the length and the breadth and the height are equal.

21:17  And he measured its wall a hundred forty-four cubits by man's measurement, which is also that of the malachim.

21:18  And the wall was constructed of jasper and the Ir was pure gold like clear glass.

21:19  The foundation stones of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of precious stone, Harishon (the first) foundation stone was jasper, Hasheni, sapphire, Hashlishi, chalcedony, Harevi'i, emerald; [Shemot 28:17-20; Yeshayah 54:11, 12; Yechezkel 28:13]

21:20  Hachamishi, sardonyx, Hashishi, carnelian, Hash'vi'i, chrysolite, Hashemini, beryl, Hateshi'i, topaz, Haasiri chrysoprase, HaAchad Asar, jacinth, Hasheneym Asar, amethyst.

21:21  And the Sheneym Asar shi'arim were Sheneym Asar pearls, respectively each one of the shi'arim was a single pearl. And the reckov (street) of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. [Yeshayah 54:12]

21:22  And I saw no Heikhal in it, for Adonoi Hashem El Shaddai and the Seh (Lamb, Yeshayah 53:7) are its Beis HaMikdash.

21:23  And the city has no need of the shemesh (sun) nor of the yare'ach (moon) that they may shine in it, for the kavod (glory) of Hashem illumined it and its menorah is the Seh (Lamb, Yeshayah 53:7). [Yeshayah 24:23; 60:19]

21:24  And the Nations shall walk their derech by its Ohr (Light), and the melachim (kings) of ha'aretz shall bring their glory into it. [Yeshayah 60:3,5]

21:25  And the shi'arim of it shall never be shut b'yom for there will be no Lailah. [Yeshayah 60:11; Zecharyah 14:7]

21:26  And the melachim will bring the kavod (glory) of the Nations into it.

21:27  And never may enter into it any thing tameh and anyone practicing to'evah (abomination) and sheker (falsehood), but only the ones having been written in the Sefer HaChayyim (Life) of the Seh (Lamb, Yeshayah 53:7). [Yeshayah 52:1; Yoel 3:17]
