Jesus’ Revelation to John Revelation 19–22
John had a vision. John saw heaven open and a white horse appeared. The rider had many crowns on His head. It was Jesus! John watched Jesus defeat Satan!
Then John saw a great white throne and God seated on it. The book of life was open. Anyone not found in the book of life was separated from God forever.
Next, John saw a beautiful scene. He saw a new heaven and a new earth. Then a loud voice from the throne said: “God’s dwelling is with people, and He will live with them. They will be His people and He will be with them and be their God. Death will no longer exist. Grief, crying, sadness, and pain will not exist anymore.”
God said, “I am making everything new. Write these words that are faithful and true. It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.”
One of the angels showed John the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. The city had a high wall with 12 gates. The foundations of the wall were decorated with precious stones including jasper, sapphire, emerald, topaz, and amethyst. Each of the 12 gates was made of a single pearl. The broad street in the city was pure gold like clear glass.
John continued to describe the scene, “The city does not need a sun or moon because God’s glory illuminates it; the Lamb is its lamp.”
Then John heard Jesus say, “Look! I am coming quickly! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
Then John said, “Yes, come Lord Jesus! May the grace of Jesus be with His people. Amen.”
