New Heaven and Earth

John sees the new heaven and earth containing the new Jerusalem– a glittering city with every precious stone reflecting the Light.  The open gates are of pearl, the foundations are named for each of the Lord’s apostles, and the streets are of transparent gold.  Nothing impure is there and there is no crying.  Those whose names are found in the book of life dwell there and God is its light.  The river of life flowing from the throne has the tree of life on its banks bearing fruit every month.  Jesus tells us to look for His coming,  to be ready, and to remain faithful.
