The New Jerusalem
The Gathering of the Remnant
| Revelation 21:1 21 I saw a new heaven and a new earth, because the first heaven and earth had disappeared, and the sea was gone. | Isaiah 60:5 5 Then you will see this and rejoice, and your heart will be thrilled with joy, because the riches of the sea will be brought to you. The wealth of the nations will come to you. Isaiah 65:17 17 I will create a new heaven and a new earth. Past things will not be remembered. They will not come to mind. Isaiah 66:22 22 “The new heaven and earth that I am about to make will continue in my presence,” declares Yahweh. “So your descendants and your name will also continue in my presence. 2 Peter 3:10 10 The day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day heaven will pass away with a roaring sound. Everything that makes up the universe will burn and be destroyed. The earth and everything that people have done on it will be exposed.[a] 2 Peter 3:13 13 But we look forward to what God has promised—a new heaven and a new earth—a place where everything that has God’s approval lives. |
| Revelation 21:2 2 Then I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, dressed like a bride ready for her husband. | Isaiah 52:1 52 Wake up! Wake up! Clothe yourself with strength, Zion! Put on your beautiful clothes, holy city of Jerusalem. Godless and evil people will no longer come to you. Isaiah 61:10 10 I will find joy in Yahweh. I will delight in my Elohim. He has dressed me in the clothes of salvation. He has wrapped me in the robe of righteousness like a bridegroom with a priest’s turban, like a bride with her jewels. Ezekiel 40 40 It was the tenth day of the month in the beginning of the twenty-fifth year of our captivity and fourteen years after Jerusalem was captured. At that time Yahweh’s power came over me, and he brought me to Jerusalem. 2 In visions, Elohim brought me to Israel and set me down on a very high mountain. On the south side of the mountain were some buildings that looked like those in a city. 3 He brought me closer. I saw a man who looked like he was covered with bronze. The man was holding a linen tape measure and a measuring stick, and he stood in a gateway. 4 He said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes, and listen with your ears. Pay close attention to everything I’m going to show you. You were brought here to be shown these things. Tell the nation of Israel everything that you see.” The East Gateway 5 I saw a wall that surrounded the temple. The man had a measuring stick that was 10½ feet long. He measured the wall. It was 10½ feet thick and 10½ feet high. 6 Then the man went to the gateway that faced east. He went up its steps and measured the entrance to the gateway. It was 10½ feet wide. 7 There were also guardrooms. Each guardroom was 10½ feet long and 10½ feet wide. The space between the guardrooms was 9 feet thick. And the entrance to the gateway by the entrance hall of the temple was 10½ feet wide. 8 He also measured the entrance hall of the gateway. 9 It extended 14 feet from the temple. Its recessed walls were 3½ feet thick. The gateway’s entrance hall faced the temple. 10 Now, there were three guardrooms on each side of the eastern gateway. All three rooms on each side were the same size, and the recessed walls on each side were the same size. 11 Then the man measured the width of the entrance to the gateway. It was 17½ feet wide, and the gateway was 23 feet long. 12 There was a barrier about 21 inches in front of each guardroom. The guardrooms were 10½ feet square. 13 He measured the gateway from the top of one guardroom to the top of the opposite guardroom. It was 44 feet wide from one door to the opposite door. 14 He also measured the entrance hall. It was 35 feet wide. In front of the entrance hall to the gateway was a courtyard on all sides. 15 The total length of the gateway from the front of the outer part to the front of the inner part of the entrance hall was 87½ feet. 16 The guardrooms and recessed walls inside the gateway had small windows all around. The entrance hall also had windows all around on the inside. Pictures of palm trees were carved on the recessed walls. The Outer Courtyard 17 Then the man brought me into the outer courtyard. I saw rooms there and pavement all around the courtyard. There were 30 rooms along the edge of the pavement. 18 The pavement in the lower courtyard ran alongside the gateways. It was as wide as it was long. 19 The man measured the distance from the inside of the lower gateway to the outside of the inner courtyard. It was 175 feet from east to north. The North Gateway 20 Then the man measured the length and width of the gateway, leading to the outer courtyard. This was the gateway that faced north. 21 Its three guardrooms, its recessed walls, and its entrance hall were the same size as those in the east gateway. The gateway was 87½ feet long and 44 feet wide. 22 Its windows, recessed walls, and palm tree pictures were the same size as those in the east gateway. Seven steps went up to it and led to its entrance hall. 23 The inner courtyard had a gateway opposite the north gate just like the east gateway. The man measured the distance from one gate to the other gate. It was 175 feet. The South Gateway 24 Then the man led me to the south side, and I saw a gateway that faced south. He measured its recessed walls and its entrance hall. They were the same size as those of the other gateways. 25 The gateway and its entrance hall had windows on all sides like the windows in the other gateways. It was 87½ feet long and 44 feet wide. 26 Seven steps went up to it and led to its entrance hall. Pictures of palm trees were carved on the recessed walls, one picture on each side. 27 The inner courtyard had a gateway facing south. The man measured the distance from the gateway on the south side to its opposite gateway. It was 175 feet. The Inner Courtyard 28 Then the man brought me to the inner courtyard through the south gateway. He measured the south gateway. It was the same size as the others. 29 Its guardrooms, recessed walls, and entrance hall were the same size as the other gateways. The guardrooms and the entrance hall had windows all around. The gateway was 87½ feet long and 44 feet wide. 30 There were entrance halls all around the inner courtyard. They were all 44 feet long and 9 feet wide. 31 The entrance halls faced the outer courtyard. Pictures of palm trees were carved on the recessed walls, and eight steps led up to each gateway. 32 Then the man brought me to the east side of the inner courtyard. He measured the gateway. It was the same size as the others. 33 Its guardrooms, recessed walls, and entrance halls were the same size as those of the other gateways. Its guardrooms and entrance hall had windows all around. The gateway was 87½ feet long and 44 feet wide. 34 Its entrance hall faced the outer courtyard. Pictures of palm trees were carved on the recessed walls, and eight steps led up to the gateway. 35 Then the man brought me to the north gateway. He measured it. It was the same size as the others. 36 Its guardrooms, recessed walls, and entrance hall had windows all around. The gateway was 87½ feet long and 44 feet wide. 37 Its recessed walls faced the outer courtyard. Pictures of palm trees were carved on the recessed walls, and eight steps led up to the gateway. Special Rooms 38 There was a room with a door that opened toward the entrance hall of the gateway. This is the room where the priests washed the animals for the burnt offerings. 39 In the entrance hall of the gateway there were two tables on each side of the room. On these tables the animals were slaughtered for burnt offerings, offerings for sin, and guilt offerings. 40 On each side of the entrance to the north gateway there were two tables, and on the other side of the entrance hall of the gateway there were two tables. 41 So there were four tables on each side of the gateway, eight tables in all, on which they slaughtered animals. 42 There were four tables made of cut stone for burnt offerings. They were 3 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 21 inches high. On these tables the priests laid the utensils that were used to slaughter animals for burnt offerings and sacrifices. 43 Double-pronged hooks, three inches long, were attached to the wall all around the room, and the tables were for the meat of the animals. 44 Outside the gateways to the inner courtyard were the rooms for the singers in the inner courtyards. One room was at the side of the north gateway. It faced south. The other room was at the side of the south gateway. It faced north. 45 The man said to me, “This room that faces south is for the priests who serve in the temple. 46 The room that faces north is for the priests who serve at the altar. These priests are Zadok’s descendants. They are the only Levites who are able to come near Yahweh and serve him.” 47 The man measured the courtyard. It was a perfect square—175 feet long and 175 feet wide. And the altar was in front of the temple. 48 Then the man brought me to the entrance hall of the temple and measured its recessed walls. They were 9 feet on each side. The gateway was 24½ feet wide, and the walls on each side were 5 feet wide. 49 The entrance hall was 35 feet long and 21 feet wide. Steps led up to it. Pillars stood by the recessed walls, one on each side of the entrance hall. Ezekiel 48 48 These are the names of the tribes. Beginning at the northern border, Dan will have one part of the land. It will extend from the road to Hethlon to Hamath Pass and Hazar Enon, on the northern border of Damascus near Hamath, from the eastern border to the western border. 2 Asher will have one part of the land and border Dan on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border. 3 Naphtali will have one part of the land and border Asher on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border. 4 Manasseh will have one part of the land and border Naphtali on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border. 5 Ephraim will have one part of the land and border Manasseh on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border. 6 Reuben will have one part of the land and border Ephraim on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border. 7 Judah will have one part of the land and border Reuben on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border. 8 The land that you set aside as a special gift for the Lord will border Judah on the south. It will be 43,750 feet wide, and it will be as long as one of the sections of the tribes. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border, and the holy place will be in the middle of it. 9 This special land that you set aside for Yahweh will be 43,750 feet long and 17,500 feet wide. 10 This holy area will belong to the priests. On the north side it will be 43,750 feet long. On the west side it will be 17,500 feet wide. On the east side it will be 17,500 feet wide. On the south side it will be 43,750 feet long. Yahweh’s holy place will be in the middle of it. 11 This land that has been set apart will belong to the priests who are descendants of Zadok. They took care of my holy place. They didn’t wander away with the Israelites as the Levites did. 12 So they will have a special portion from the land. It will be the holiest part of land, next to the land belonging to the Levites. 13 Alongside the land belonging to the priests will be the land belonging to the Levites. It will be 43,750 feet long and 17,500 feet wide. 14 They must not sell any of it or trade any of it. They must not let others have the best part of the land, because the land is Yahweh’s and it is holy. 15 A strip of land, 8,750 feet wide by 43,750 feet long, will be left for cities, homes, and pastures. The city will be in the middle of it. 16 These will be the measurements for the city: On the north side it will be 7,875 feet long. On the south side it will be 7,875 feet long. On the east side it will be 7,875 feet wide. And on the west side it will be 7,875 feet wide. 17 The city’s pastureland will be 4,375 feet on the north, 4,375 feet on the south, 4,375 feet on the east, and 4,375 feet on the west. 18 The rest of the land borders the holy area and runs lengthwise. This land will be 17,500 feet on its east side and 17,500 feet on its west side. It will be used to provide food for the city workers. 19 City workers from all the tribes in Israel will farm it. 20 The whole area will be 43,750 feet square. You must give this land as a special gift to the Lord along with the city property. 21 Whatever is left on the east side and west side of the holy area and the city property will belong to the prince. This land will extend eastward from the holy area to the eastern border, and it will extend westward to the western border. Both of these areas are as long as one of the sections of the tribes. These areas belong to the prince, and the holy area with the holy place of the temple will be between them. 22 So the Levites’ property and the city’s property will be between the prince’s part of the land. What is between Judah’s and Benjamin’s boundaries will belong to the prince. 23 This is what the rest of the tribes will receive: Benjamin will have one part of the land. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border. 24 Simeon will have one part of the land and border Benjamin on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border. 25 Issachar will have one part of the land and border Simeon on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border. 26 Zebulun will have one part of the land and border Issachar on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border. 27 Gad will have one part of the land and border Zebulun on the south. It will extend from the eastern border to the western border. 28 The southern border of Gad will run south from Tamar to the oasis at Meribah in Kadesh, and it will run along the Brook of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. 29 This is the land you will divide as your inheritance among the tribes of Israel, and these are their areas, declares the Adonay Yahweh. The New City of God 30 These will be the exits for the city: The north side will be 7,875 feet long. 31 The gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel. The three gates on the north side will be Reuben Gate, Judah Gate, and Levi Gate. 32 The east side will be 7,875 feet long. The three gates on the east side will be Joseph Gate, Benjamin Gate, and Dan Gate. 33 The south side will be 7,875 feet long. The three gates on the south side will be Simeon Gate, Issachar Gate, and Zebulun Gate. 34 The west side will be 7,875 feet long. The three gates on the west side will be Gad Gate, Asher Gate, and Naphtali Gate. 35 The city will measure about 31,500 feet all the way around. From then on the city’s name will be: Yahweh Shammah. Ephesians 5:23 23 The husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. It is his body, and he is its Savior. Hebrews 11:10 10 Abraham was waiting for the city that God had designed and built, the city with permanent foundations. |
| Revelation 21:3 3 I heard a loud voice from the throne say, “God lives with humans! God will make his home with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them and be their God. | Leviticus 26:11 11 “I will put my tent among you, and I will never look at you with disgust. Isaiah 60:1 60 Arise! Shine! Your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has dawned. Ezekiel 37:27-28 27 My dwelling place will be with them. I will be their Elohim, and they will be my people. 28 Then the nations will know that I, Yahweh, have set Israel apart as holy, because my holy place will be among them permanently.’” Ezekiel 48:35 35 The city will measure about 31,500 feet all the way around. From then on the city’s name will be: Yahweh Shammah. John 14:23 23 Yeshua answered him, “Those who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will go to them and make our home with them. 2 Corinthians 6:16 16 Can God’s temple contain false gods? Clearly, we are the temple of the living God. As God said, “I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Hebrews 8:2 2 He serves as priest of the holy place and of the true tent set up by the Lord and not by any human. |
| Revelation 21:4 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There won’t be any more death. There won’t be any grief, crying, or pain, because the first things have disappeared.” | Deuteronomy 7:12-19 12 If you listen to these rules and faithfully obey them, Yahweh your Elohim will keep his promise to you and be merciful to you, as he swore to your ancestors. 13 He will love you, bless you, and increase the number of your descendants. He will bless you with children. He will bless your land with produce: grain, new wine, and olive oil. He will bless your herds with calves, and your flocks with lambs and kids. This will all happen in the land Yahweh will give you, as he swore to your ancestors. 14 You will be blessed more than any other people. Your men and women will be able to have children, and your animals will be able to have offspring. 15 Yahweh will keep you from having any kind of illness. He will not strike you with any of the terrible diseases you experienced in Egypt. Instead, he will strike all those who hate you. 16 You must destroy all the people Yahweh your Elohim hands over to you. Have no pity on them, and never worship their gods, because they will be a trap for you. 17 You may say to yourselves, “These nations outnumber us. How can we force them out?” 18 Don’t be afraid of them. Remember what Yahweh your Elohim did to Pharaoh and all of Egypt. 19 You saw with your own eyes the terrible plagues, the miraculous signs, and the amazing things Yahweh your Elohim did. He used his mighty hand and powerful arm to bring you out. Yahweh your Elohim will do the same thing to all the people you’re afraid of. Isaiah 25:8 8 He will swallow up death forever. Adonay Yahweh will wipe away tears from every face, and he will remove the disgrace of his people from the whole earth. Yahweh has spoken. Isaiah 35:10 10 The people ransomed by Yahweh will return. They will come to Zion singing with joy. Everlasting happiness will be on their heads as a crown. They will be glad and joyful. They will have no sorrow or grief. Isaiah 51:11 11 The people ransomed by Yahweh will return. They will come to Zion singing with joy. Everlasting happiness will be on their heads as a crown. They will be glad and joyful.

| Revelation 21:5 5 The one sitting on the throne said, “I am making everything new.” He said, “Write this: ‘These words are faithful and true.’” | Isaiah 41:15 15 “I am going to make you into a new threshing[a] sledge with sharp, double-edged teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them to dust. You will turn the hills into straw. Isaiah 43:19 19 I am going to do something new. It is already happening. Don’t you recognize it?

A new way of living has come into existence. |

| Revelation 21:6 6 He said to me, “It has happened! I am the A and the Z,[a] the beginning and the end. I will give a drink from the fountain filled with the water of life to anyone who is thirsty. It won’t cost anything. | Proverbs 14:27 27 The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life to turn one away from the grasp of death. Read full chapter Isaiah 44:6 6 Yahweh is Israel’s Melek and Go’el. He is Yahweh Tsebaoth. This is what Yahweh says: I am the first and the last, and there is no Elohim except me. Isaiah 48:12 12 Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I have called. I am the one. I am the first and the last. Isaiah 51:1 51 Listen to me, you people who pursue what is right and seek Yahweh. Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were dug. Isaiah 55:1 55 “Listen! Whoever is thirsty, come to the water! Whoever has no money can come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk. You don’t have to pay; it’s free! Isaiah 60:16 16 You will drink milk from other nations and nurse at royal breasts. Then you will know that I am Yahweh, your Savior, the Mighty One of Jacob, your Go’el. Jeremiah 17:13 13 O Yahweh, the Miqweh Yisrael, all who abandon you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in dust, because they abandon Yahweh, the fountain of life-giving water. Joel 3:18 18 On that day new wine will cover the mountains. Milk will flow on the hills. Water will flow in all the brooks of Judah. A spring will flow from Yahweh’s temple. It will water the valley of Shittim. John 4:10 10 Yeshua replied to her, “If you only knew what God’s gift is and who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked him for a drink. He would have given you living water.” Revelation 7:17 17 The lamb in the center near the throne will be their shepherd. He will lead them to springs filled with the water of life, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.” |
| Revelation 21:7 7 Everyone who wins the victory will inherit these things. I will be their God, and they will be my children. | Psalm 89:26 26 He will call out to me, ‘You are my Ab, my El, and the rock of my salvation.’ 2 Samuel 7:14 14 I will be his Ab, and he will be my Son. If he sins, I will punish him with a rod and with blows inflicted by people. 2 Corinthians 6:16 16 Can God’s temple contain false gods? Clearly, we are the temple of the living God. As God said, “I will live and walk among them. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” 2 Corinthians 6:18 18 The Lord Almighty says, “I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters.” Ephesians 1:11 11 God also decided ahead of time to choose us through Christ according to his plan, which makes everything work the way he intends. |
| Revelation 21:8 8 But cowardly, unfaithful, and detestable people, murderers, sexual sinners, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars will find themselves in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” | Isaiah 60:12 12 Nations and kingdoms that do not serve you will be destroyed. The nations will certainly be ruined. 1 Corinthians 6:9 9 Don’t you know that wicked people won’t inherit the kingdom of God? Stop deceiving yourselves! People who continue to commit sexual sins, who worship false gods, those who commit adultery, homosexuals, Galatians 5:19-21 19 Now, the effects of the corrupt nature are obvious: illicit sex, perversion, promiscuity, 20 idolatry, drug use, hatred, rivalry, jealousy, angry outbursts, selfish ambition, conflict, factions, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild partying, and similar things. I’ve told you in the past and I’m telling you again that people who do these kinds of things will not inherit the kingdom of God. |

The sword is being sharpened and polished to be placed in the hands of killers. Ezekiel 40:2 2 In visions, Elohim brought me to Israel and set me down on a very high mountain. On the south side of the mountain were some buildings that looked like those in a city. Ezekiel 43:2 2 I saw the glory of the Elohim of Israel coming from the east. His voice was like the sound of rushing water, and the earth was shining because of his glory. Isaiah 60:1 60 Arise! Shine! Your light has come, and the glory of Yahweh has dawned. Matthew 5:35 35 or by the earth, which is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, which is the city of the great King. Matthew 5:35 35 or by the earth, which is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, which is the city of the great King.

I will write on them the name of my God, the name of the city of my God (the New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from my God), and my new name. |
| Revelation 21:11 11 It had the glory of God.

Your Elohim will be your glory. |
| Revelation 21:12 12 It had a large, high wall with 12 gates. Twelve angels were at the gates. The names of the 12 tribes of Israel were written on the gates. | Isaiah 26:1 26 On that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city. Its walls and fortifications provide safety. Isaiah 60:18 18 No longer will you hear about violence in your land or desolation and destruction within your borders. You will call your walls Salvation and your gates Praise. Ezekiel 48:31-34 31 The gates of the city will be named after the tribes of Israel.

I will be the glory within it.’ |

| Revelation 21:14 14 The wall of the city had 12 foundations. The 12 names of the 12 apostles of the lamb were written on them. | Matthew 10:2-4 2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: first and foremost, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James and his brother John, the sons of Zebedee; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James (son of Alphaeus), and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who later betrayed Yeshua. Acts 1:26 26 They drew names to choose an apostle. Matthias was chosen and joined the eleven apostles.

| Revelation 21:15 15 The angel who was talking to me had a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. | Exodus 28:17-20 17 Fasten four rows of precious stones on it. In the first row put red quartz, topaz, and emerald. 18 In the second row put turquoise, sapphire, and crystal. 19 In the third row put jacinth, agate, and amethyst. 20 In the fourth row put beryl, onyx, and gray quartz. Mount them in gold settings. Deuteronomy 3:11 11 (Of the Rephaim only King Og of Bashan was left. His bed was made of iron and was more than 13 feet long and 6 feet wide. It is still in the Ammonite city of Rabbah.) Ezekiel 28:13 13 You were in Eden, Elohim’s garden. You were covered with every kind of precious stone: red quartz, topaz, crystal, beryl, onyx, gray quartz, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald.
