For we don’t have here an enduring city, but we seek that which is to come.

For our citizenship is in heaven, from where we also wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ,

For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.

But you have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable multitudes of angels,

For every house is built by someone; but he who built all things is God.

I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.

He carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, as if it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal;having a great and high wall; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel.On the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve Apostles of the Lamb.He who spoke with me had for a measure a golden reed to measure the city, its gates, and its walls.The city is square, and its length is as great as its width. He measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand twelve stadia. Its length, width, and height are equal.Its wall is one hundred forty- four cubits, by the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.The construction of its wall was jasper. The city was pure gold, like pure glass.The foundations of the city’s wall were adorned with all kinds of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; and the twelfth, amethyst.The twelve gates were twelve pearls. Each one of the gates was made of one pearl. The street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its temple.The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it, and its lamp is the Lamb.The nations will walk in its light. The kings of the earth bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.Its gates will in no way be shut by day( for there will be no night there),and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it so that they may enter.There will in no way enter into it anything profane, or one who causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

In my Father’s house are many homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you.

What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.

Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe,
