In this ark were the golden urn containing the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant. 5 And above the ark were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat. Now is not the time to speak of these things in detail. 6 So with these things prepared like this, the priests enter continually into the outer tent as they perform their duties. 7 But only the high priest enters once a year into the inner tent, and not without blood that he offers for himself and for the sins of the people committed in ignorance. 8 The Holy Spirit is making clear that the way into the holy place had not yet appeared as long as the old tabernacle was standing. 9 This was a symbol for the time then present, when gifts and sacrifices were offered that could not perfect the conscience of the worshiper. 10 They served only for matters of food and drink and various ritual washings; they are external regulations imposed until the new order came. 11 Christ’s Service in the Heavenly Sanctuary But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things to come. He passed through the greater and more perfect tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, 12 and he entered once for all into the most holy place not by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, and so he himself secured eternal redemption.

    9 The New Jerusalem Descends Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven final plagues came and spoke to me, saying,“Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb!”

    10 So he took me away in the Spirit to a huge, majestic mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.

    11 The city possesses the glory of God; its brilliance is like a precious jewel, like a stone of crystal-clear jasper.

    12 It has a massive, high wall with twelve gates, with twelve angels at the gates, and the names of the twelve tribes of the nation of Israel are written on the gates.

    13 There are three gates on the east side, three gates on the north side, three gates on the south side and three gates on the west side.

    14 The wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

    15 The angel who spoke to me had a golden measuring rod with which to measure the city and its foundation stones and wall.

    16 Now the city is laid out as a square, its length and width the same. He measured the city with the measuring rod at fourteen hundred miles(its length and width and height are equal).

    17 He also measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits according to human measurement, which is also the angel’s.

    18 The city’s wall is made of jasper and the city is pure gold, like transparent glass.
