Jesus realized at once

that healing power had gone out from him,

so he turned around in the crowd

and asked,

“Who touched my robe?”

Mark 5:30

“Look,

I am coming soon!

Blessed are those who obey 

the words of prophecy

written in this book.”

Revelation 22:7

The wall was made of jasper,

and the city was pure gold,  

as clear as glass.

The wall of the city was built on foundation stones

inlaid with twelve precious stones:

the first was jasper,

the second sapphire,

the third agate,

the fourth emerald,

the fifth onyx,

the sixth carnelian,

the seventh chrysolite,

the eighth beryl,

the ninth topaz,

the tenth chrysoprase,

the eleventh jacinth,

the twelfth amethyst.

The twelve gates were made of pearls—

each gate from a single pearl!

And the main street was pure gold,

as clear as glass.

Revelation 21:18-21

The city wall was broad and high,

with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels.

and the names of the twelve tribes of Israel

were written on the gates.

The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones,

and on them were written the names

of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The wall was made of jasper,

and the city was pure gold,

as clear as glass.

Revelation 21:12, 14, 18

So he took me in the Spirit to a great,

high mountain,

and he showed me the holy city,

Jerusalem,

descending out of heaven from God.

It shone with the glory of God

and sparkled like a precious stone—

like jasper as clear as crystal.

Revelation 21:10-11

(Monument Valley)

Then 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.

And I saw the holy city,

the new Jerusalem,

coming down from God out of heaven

like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

I heard a loud shout from the throne,

saying,

“Look, 

God’s home is now among his people!

He will live with them,

and they will be his people.

God himself will be with them. 

Revelation 21:1-3

And 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 freely from the springs of the water of life.

All who are victorious

will inherit all these blessings,

and I will be their God,

and they will be my children.” 

Revelation 21:6-7

He will wipe every tear from their eyes,

and there will be no more death

or sorrow

or crying

or pain.

All these things are gone forever.

And the one sitting on the throne said,

“Look, I am making everything new!” 

Revelation 21:4-5

Beware of false prophets

who come disguised as harmless sheep

but are really vicious wolves.

You can identify them by their fruit,

that is,

by the way they act.

Can you pick grapes from thorn bushes,

or figs from thistles?

Yes,

just as you can identify a tree by its fruit,

so you can identify people by their actions.

Matthew 7:15-16, 20

“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate.

The highway to hell is broad,

and its gate is wide open 

for the many who choose that way.

But the gateway to life is very narrow

and the road is difficult,

and only a few ever find it.”

Matthew 7:13-14
