A nova jerusalém
A Nova Jerusalém é a cidade de Deus que desce do céu, morada eterna dos redimidos. Nela não haverá mar, morte, choro nem dor — Deus habitará com seu povo para sempre.
A cidade celestial
João viu a santa cidade, a Nova Jerusalém, descendo do céu como noiva adornada para o esposo. Ali Deus morará com seu povo.
I also saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
Then I heard a loud voice from the throne: , Look, God’s dwelling is with humanity, and he will live with them. They will be his peoples, , and God himself will be with them and will be their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; grief, crying, and pain will be no more, because the previous things have passed away.
He then carried me away in the Spirit , to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, arrayed with God’s glory. Her radiance was like a precious jewel, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. The city had a massive high wall, with twelve gates. Twelve angels were at the gates; the names of the twelve tribes of Israel’s sons were inscribed on the gates. There were three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. The city wall had twelve foundations, and the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb were on the foundations.
I did not see a temple in it, because the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates it, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Then he showed me the river of the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the city’s main street. The tree of life was on each side of the river, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree are for healing the nations, and there will no longer be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will worship him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. Night will be no more; people will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, because the Lord God will give them light, and they will reign forever and ever.
A pátria celestial
Os patriarcas aguardavam uma cidade que tem fundamentos, cujo arquiteto e construtor é Deus. Nosso lar eterno está além desta vida.
But they now desire a better place — a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.
Instead, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God (the heavenly Jerusalem), to myriads of angels, a festive gathering, to the assembly of the firstborn whose names have been written in heaven, to a Judge, who is God of all, to the spirits of righteous people made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which says better things than the blood of Abel.
But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother.
"Don’t let your heart be troubled.Believein God;believe also in me.In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I am goingto prepare a place for you?If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come againand take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.
A glória da Nova Jerusalém
Deus habitará no meio do seu povo. Sua presença será a luz da cidade, e o rio da vida fluirá do trono de Deus e do Cordeiro.
There is a river —
its streams delight the city of God,
the holy dwelling place of the Most High.
The perimeter of the city will be six miles, and the name of the city from that day on will be The Lord Is There."
"Daughter Zion, shout for joy and be glad, for I am coming to dwell among you" — this is the Lord’s declaration. "Many nations will join themselves to the Lord on that day and become my people. I will dwell among you, and you will know that the Lord of Armies has sent me to you. The Lord will take possession of Judah as his portion in the Holy Land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem.
I am coming soon.Hold on to what you have,so that no one takes your crown.
"The one who conquers I will make a pillarin the temple of my God, and he will never go out again. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God — the new Jerusalem,which comes down out of heaven from my God — and my new name.
And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share of the tree of life and the holy city, which are written about in this book.
