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.
And I saw the Ir Hakodesh, the Yerushalayim HaChadasha coming down and descending out of Shomayim from Hashem, having been made ready as a Kallah adorned for her Ba’al (Husband). And I heard a kol gadol (loud voice), a Bat Kol from the Kisse (Throne) saying, "Hinei, The Mishkan of Hashem is with men, and He shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be His people, and Hashem Himself shall dwell among them. And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there shall not be any longer Mavet, nor Avelut nor weeping nor pain; the former things have passed away."
And he carried me away in the Ruach Hakodesh onto a great and high mountain, and showed me the Ir Hakodesh, Yerushalayim, descending and coming down out of Shomayim from Hashem, Having the Shekhinah kavod (glory) of Hashem. Her brilliance, was like a precious stone, even a jasper, clear as crystal, Having a great and high wall, having Shneym Asar She’arim (Twelve Gates), and at the She’arim (Gates), Shneym Asar malachim (Twelve angels), and SHEMOT (Names) were inscribed on them, which are the shemot (names) of the Shneym Asar Shivtei HaBnei Yisroel (Twelve Tribes of the Bnei Yisroel). There were shloshah she’arim (three gates) on the mizrach (east), there were shloshah she’arim on the tzafon (north), and shloshah she’arim on the darom (south) and shloshah she’arim on the ma’arav (west). And the wall of the Ir Hakodesh had Shneym Asar Foundation Stones, and on them were the Shneym Asar shemot (names) of the Shneym Asar Shlichim of the SEH Moshiach (Lamb).
And I saw no Heikhal in it, for Adonoi Hashem El Shaddai and the SEH (Lamb), Moshiach are its Beis HaMikdash. And the city has no need of the shemesh (sun) nor of the levanah (moon) that they may shine in it, for the kavod (glory) of Hashem illumined it and its menorah is the SEH Moshiach (Lamb).
And he showed me a nahar (river) of Mayim Chayyim (Water of Life) bright as crystal, going forth out of the Kisse (Throne) of Hashem and of the SEH Moshiach (Lamb). In the middle of the rekhov (street) of it, and on either side on the nahar (river) was the Etz HaChayyim, producing Shneym Asar Perot (Twelve Fruits), according to each chodesh (month), yielding the p’ri of it, and the leaves of the Etz (tree) were for the refu’ah (healing) of the Nations. And there shall no longer be any Kelalah (Curse), and the Kisse (Throne) of Hashem and of the SEH (Lamb), Moshiach shall be in it, and His avadim shall serve Him. And they shall see His face, and ha-Shem of Him will be on the metsakhim (foreheads) of them. And there shall no longer be Lailah, and they have no need of the ohr (light) of a menorah and the ohr (light) of the shemesh (sun), because Hashem Adonoi will give forth ohr (light) on them, and they shall reign l’Olemei Olamim.
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, as it is, they aspire for something better, an Eretz HaAvot b’Shomayim; therefore, Hashem is not ashamed to be called Ehoheihem, for he prepared for them an Ir Kodesh.
But you have come to Mount Tziyon, that is, HaIr HaElohim Chayyim, to the Yerushalayim in Shomayim and to myriads of malachim in a knesset innumerable, And to the Kehillat HaBechorim who are inscribed in Shomayim and to Hashem, the Shofet HaKol, and to the ruchot (spirits) of the tzaddikim made shleimim, And to Yehoshua, the Metavekh of a Brit Chadasha and to the dahm hahazzayah (blood of sprinkling), which speaks better than the dahm haHevel (blood of Abel).
But the Yerushalayim above is a Bat Chorin (daughter of freedom), the Imma lechulanu (the Mother of us all).
Let not your levavot be troubled. You have emunah (faith) in Hashem. Also in me have emunah (faith). In the Beis Avi there are many me’onot (dwelling places, permanent residences, homes); if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a makom (place) for you? And if I go and prepare a makom for you, I am coming again and will receive you to myself, that where I am, there 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.
Though the mayim thereof roar and be troubled,
though the harim shake with the surging thereof.
Selah
It was all around eighteen elef in circumference; and the shem of the Ir from that day shall be, Hashem Shammah (Hashem is there). speaks of the Davidic Nasi. Here is a Messianic Kingdom where Hashem has His Prince who is also referred to in 37:25; 44:3; 45:7,16-17,22; 46:2-18; 48:21-22. Anytime a Davidic ruler is mentioned in Scripture, that Davidic office points forward to Moshiach, even if the foreshadow only imperfectly (see Ezek 45:22) points toward the perfect fulfillment to come.
Come, come, and flee
out of the Eretz Tzafon, saith Hashem;
for I have scattered you
like the Arbah Ruchot HaShomayim, saith Hashem.
Come, save thyself, O Tziyon,
thou that dwellest with the Bat Bavel.
For thus saith Hashem Tzva’os:
After Kavod (Glory) sent me
unto the Goyim who plundered you —
the one that toucheth you
toucheth the apple of His eye —
I am coming quickly; hold fast to what you have, that no one takes your atarah (diadem, crown). The one who wins the nitzachon (victory) I will make an ammud (pillar) in the Beis Hamikdash of Elohai and never may he go out of it and I will write upon him ha-Shem of Elohai and ha-Shem of the Ir Hakodesh of Elohai — the Yerushalayim HaChadasha descending down out of Shomayim from Elohai — and ha-Shem HeChadash of me (my New Name).
And if anyone takes away from the devarim of the sefer of this nevu’ah (prophecy), Hashem will take away his share of the Etz HaChayyim and from the Ir HaKodesh, which are written of in this sefer.
