Revelation 21	Revelation 21
.	.
1 I discerned anew harmonious noumenon and phenomenon, for a terrestrial view of cause and effect passed away, and there was no more turbulent human fear^.	1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 So I, John, discerned the royal realm of peace and righteousness, as revealed by divine Mind based on harmony, and prepared as innocent love adorned for spiritual unity.	2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 Then I perceived the omnipotent Word out of harmony, proclaiming, "Behold, the presence of divine Mind is with both male and female phenomena, dwelling with them, and they have become a united people, Good being with them as their Deity.	3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God.
4 "Now divine Love gives them nothing to mourn over, and there can be no more illusion of death, neither sorrow nor weeping, neither can there be any more sensation of pain, for all former material beliefs are passed away."	4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And holding the position of sovereignty, one declared, "Behold, the almighty I-am renews all things." And it was revealed to me, "Write, for these words are true and faithful."	5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 Thereupon, that one added, "All is complete. The one I-am includes cause and effect, without beginning or end. I will satisfy anyone who is athirst at the fountainhead of being for righteousness.	6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 "The one that reverses any negative interpretation of positive Truth will inherit all things, and Spirit will be that one's God, and the same will be the child of God.	7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 "But the fearful, unbelieving, abominable murderers, whoremongers, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars inadvertently commit themselves to purification, which is the second death."	8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
9 Also there came to me a "swift-winged thought^," one which completed action to negate the "sum total of human misery," and inspired me to scale the heights of Mind, and behold "Love wedded to its own spiritual idea^."	9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 Now this thought carried me to the heights of Spirit, and revealed to me that great abode, the holy presence of peace and righteousness, harmonious Life descending upon me.	10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of omnipresent Being, its enlightenment was of the most precious spiritual substance, even crystal clear;	11 Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 So there was an all-powerful constraint against any negative interruption of positive Truth, but it was open where the sentinels of God stood guard to permit each of Israel's offspring to struggle through to God's presence and away from sensual wrestlings.	12 And had a wall great and high, [and] had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are [the names] of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 Open to Life, Truth and Love, wisdom's threefold nature, its four cardinal points are "...the Word, Christ, Christianity, and divine Science^."	13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 Now blocking out erroneous doctrine from God's royal abode was done on the foundation laid by Israel for Christ's teachings and carried on by the twelve apostles.	14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And divine logic revealed to me by a precious understanding that God's royal abode, or spiritual habitation, is boundless as determined by divine Principle.	15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 Therefore, God's abode is wholly spiritual in dimension, and the length and breadth of it are God's equipollence, and it is precisely equal to Israel's countless offspring. All its aspects are equal.	16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 Keeping out the negative interpretation of positive Truth is by the precise mental action of Israel's spiritualized offspring.	17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred [and] forty [and] four cubits, [according to] the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 So the teaching about any negative interpretation of positive Truth was clear as crystal, and the city of divinity was purely precious, like clear reflection.	18 And the building of the wall of it was [of] jasper: and the city [was] pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 Now the foundations for reversing any negative interpretation of positive Truth are garnished with precious spiritual experiences; the first foundation is light; the second, the nothingness of error; the third, inspiration; the fourth, "the eternal demand of divine Science^";	19 And the foundations of the wall of the city [were] garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation [was] jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, holiness; the sixth, purification of thought; the seventh, purification of deed; the eighth, meeting the claims of beastly lust; the ninth, meeting the claims of hypocrisy; the tenth, observing the commandments; the eleventh, perfection; the twelfth, "admission to the presence and power of the Most High^."	20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 Now the twelve ways to God's abode are found by twelve gems of wisdom; each opening is by a gem of wisdom; and the ways of the abode of divine Life are precious purity, as transparent reflection.	21 And the twelve gates [were] twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city [was] pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 Thereupon I discerned that there was no carnal body therein; for divine Mind and self-immolation is its structure, the embodiment of Life, Truth and Love.	22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 The divine abode had no need of solar light, neither of lunar light, to shine in it, for the glory of divine Principle illuminates it, and Christ is the light thereof.	23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof.
24 And the people that are saved walk in this enlightenment; and the elite of the earth "lay down their honors^" in the holy city.	24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 It is continually opened to Life, Truth and Love, by enlightenment, continually closed to sin, disease and death, since no ignorance is there.	25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And the children of Israel usher the glory and honor of divine natures into it.	26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 So in no way will anything enter there that defiles, neither anything that works abomination, nor makes a lie, but only they which are included by love according to divine Life.	27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
