Let Everything Praise the Lord

The Thousand Years

1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, ⁿholding in his hand the key to ^othe bottomless pit¹ and a great chain. 2 And he seized ^pthe dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and ^qbound him for a thousand years, 3 and threw him into ^othe pit, and shut it and ^rsealed it over him, so that ^she might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.

4 Then I saw ^tthrones, and ^useated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw ^vthe souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those ^wwho had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. ^xThey came to life and ^yreigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. 6 ^zBlessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such ^athe second death has no power, but they will be ^bpriests of God and of Christ, and they ^cwill reign with him for a thousand years.

The Defeat of Satan

7 And when the thousand years are ended, ^dSatan will be released from his prison 8 and will come out ^eto deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, ^fGog and Magog, ^gto gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. 9 And ^hthey marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded ⁱthe camp of the saints and ^jthe beloved city, but ^kfire came down from heaven² and consumed them, 10 and the devil ^lwho had deceived them was ^mthrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where ⁿthe beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Judgment Before the Great White Throne

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence ^oearth and sky fled away, and ^pno place was found for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and ^qbooks were opened. Then another book was opened, which is ^rthe book of life. And ^sthe dead were judged by what was written in the books, ^taccording to what they had done. 13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, ^uDeath and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, ^taccording to what they had done. 14 Then ^uDeath and Hades ^vwere thrown into the lake of fire. This is ^wthe second death, the lake of fire. 15 And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, ^xhe was thrown into the lake of fire.

The New Heaven and the New Earth

1 Then I saw ^ya new heaven and a new earth, for ^zthe first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw ^athe holy city, ^bnew Jerusalem, ^ccoming down out of heaven from God, ^dprepared ^eas a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, ^fthe dwelling place³ of God is with man. He will ^gdwell with them, and they will be his people,⁴ and God himself will be with them as their God.⁵ 4 ^hHe will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and ⁱdeath shall be no more, ^jneither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

5 And ^khe who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I ^lam making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for ^mthese words are trustworthy and true.” 6 And he said to me, ⁿ“It is done! ^oI am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. ^pTo the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. 7 ^qThe one who conquers will have this heritage, and ^rI will be his God and ^she will be my son. 8 ^tBut as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, ^utheir portion will be in ^vthe lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is ^wthe second death.”

The New Jerusalem

9 Then came ^xone of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of ^ythe seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you ^zthe Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And ^ahe carried me away in the Spirit to ^ba great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, 11 ^chaving the glory of God, ^dits radiance ^elike a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall, ^fwith twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— 13 on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve ^gfoundations, and ^hon them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

15 And the one who spoke with me ⁱhad a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. 16 The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia.⁶ Its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits⁷ by ^jhuman measurement, which is also ^kan angel’s measurement. 18 The wall was built of ^ljasper, while the city was pure gold, like ^lclear glass. 19 ^mThe foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and ⁿthe street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass.

22 And ^oI saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city ^phas no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for ^qthe glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 By its light ^rwill the nations walk, and the kings of the earth ^swill bring their glory into it, 25 and ^tits gates will never be shut by day—and ^uthere will be no night there. 26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But ^vnothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s ^wbook of life.

The River of Life

1 Then the angel⁸ showed me ^xthe river of ^ythe water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 through the middle of ^zthe street of the city; ^aalso, on either side of the river, ^bthe tree of life⁹ with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were ^cfor the healing of the nations. 3 ^dNo longer will there be anything accursed, but ^ethe throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and ^fhis servants will worship him. 4 ^gThey will see his face, and ^hhis name will be on their foreheads. 5 And ⁱnight will be no more. They will need no light of lamp ^jor sun, for ^kthe Lord God will be their light, and ^lthey will reign forever and ever.

Jesus Is Coming

6 And he said to me, ^m“These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of ⁿthe spirits of the prophets, ^ohas sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”

7 “And behold, ^pI am coming soon. ^qBlessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

8 I, ^rJohn, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, ^sI fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, 9 ^sbut he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those ^mwho keep the words of this book. Worship God.”

10 And he said to me, ^t“Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. 11 ^uLet the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”

12 “Behold, ^vI am coming soon, ^wbringing my recompense with me, ^xto repay each one for what he has done. 13 ^yI am the Alpha and the Omega, ^zthe first and the last, ^athe beginning and the end.”

14 Blessed are those who ^bwash their robes,¹⁰ so that they may have the right to ^cthe tree of life and that ^dthey may enter the city by the gates. 15 ^eOutside are ^fthe dogs ^gand sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 ^h“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things ⁱfor the churches. I am ^jthe root and ^kthe descendant of David, ^lthe bright morning star.”

17 The Spirit and ^mthe Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And ⁿlet the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the ^owater of life without price.

18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: ^pif anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in ^qthe tree of life and in ^rthe holy city, which are described in this book.

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely ^sI am coming soon.” Amen. ^tCome, Lord Jesus!

21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.¹¹ Amen.
