  • Rev 21:10-27 : 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God, and its radiance was like a very precious jewel, like jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and at the gates were twelve angels, and on the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south, and three on the west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 The one who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. 16 The city was laid out as a square; its length was as great as its width. He measured the city with the rod: twelve thousand stadia. Its length, width, and height were equal. 17 He measured its wall to be one hundred forty-four cubits, by human measurement, which is also an angel’s measurement. 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as clear as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass. 22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory and honor into it. 25 Its gates will never be shut by day, and there will be no night there. 26 They will bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 27 Nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

    1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.

    2 For by it the ancients were commended.

    3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

    4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God testifying about his gifts; and through faith, even though he is dead, he still speaks.

    5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death, and he was not found, because God took him up. For before he was taken up, he was commended as one who had pleased God.

    6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever comes to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

    7 By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverent fear prepared an ark for the salvation of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

    13 All these people died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them from afar and been persuaded of them, and having embraced them, they openly declared that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

    14 For those who say such things make it clear that they are seeking a homeland.

    15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return.

    16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

    17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac. He who had received the promises was ready to offer his only son,

    18 even though it was said to him, 'Through Isaac your descendants will be named.'

    19 Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and in a sense, he did receive Isaac back from death as a symbol.

    17 As it is written: 'I have made you a father of many nations.' He is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed—the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.

    18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, 'So shall your offspring be.'

    19 And without weakening in faith, he did not consider his own body, which was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—or the deadness of Sarah’s womb.

    20 He did not waver in unbelief concerning the promise of God, but he was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God,

    21 being fully convinced that God was able to do what He had promised.
