The reason I put (the Girl) on the thing is cuz there's another JesusFreak whos a guy. :) Anyway, I was reading through Revelation 21 and thought it would be interesting to post.
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone.2And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a beautiful bride prepared for her husband.3I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.4He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever."5And the one sitting on the throne said, "Look, I am making all things new!" And then he said to me, "Write this down, for what I tell you is trustworthy and true."6And he also said, "It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega--the Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I will give the springs of the water of life without charge!7All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be my children.8But cowards who turn away from me, and unbelievers, and the corrupt, and murderers, and the immoral, and those who practice witchcraft, and idol worshipers, and all liars--their doom is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death."9Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."10So he took me in spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.11It was filled with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious gem, crystal clear like jasper.12Its walls were broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates.13There were three gates on each side--east, north, south, and west.14The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.15The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall.16When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, it was in the form of a cube, for its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles.17Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (the angel used a standard human measure).18The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass.19The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve gems: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald,20the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.21The twelve gates were made of pearls--each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.22No temple could be seen in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.23And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light.24The nations of the earth will walk in its light, and the rulers of the world will come and bring their glory to it.25Its gates never close at the end of day because there is no night.26And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city.27Nothing evil will be allowed to enter--no one who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty--but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
(Chapter 22:1-7,12-16,20-21)1And the angel showed me a pure river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb,2coursing down the center of the main street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.3No longer will anything be cursed. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and his servants will worship him.4And they will see his face, and his name will be written on their foreheads.5And there will be no night there--no need for lamps or sun--for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever.6Then the angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true: `The Lord God, who tells his prophets what the future holds, has sent his angel to tell you what will happen soon.'" 7"Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the prophecy written in this scroll." 12"See, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to repay all according to their deeds. 13I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." 14Blessed are those who wash their robes so they can enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life.15Outside the city are the dogs--the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie.
16"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright morning star."20He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, "Yes, I am coming soon!"Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!21The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you all. How it changed my life:I can't wait until I stand before God with all the Christians in the world that was, is now, and is to come and we worship God. Where no tear has the right to fall down our cheeks and now sorrow will permeate (sp) out thoughts.
Hold on to Jesus, cuz He's holding on to you.
