~ The New Holy City ~

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,
for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away,
and there was no longer any sea.
I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God,
prepared as a bride
beautifully dressed for her husband.

I did not see a temple in the city,
because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb
are its temple.
The city does not need
the sun or the moon to shine on it,
for the glory of God gives it light,
and the Lamb is its lamp.

(Revelation 21:  1-2, 22-23)
