Poetry
I saw a New Heaven and New Earth, for the first Heaven
And the first Earth, had passed away, there’s no more Sea, God’s Action
Then I, John, saw The Holy City, The New Jerusalem
Coming down, out of Heaven, from God, yes, He knew this Outcome
Prepared as a Bride, adorned for her husband, then a loud Voice
From Heaven, The Tabernacle of God is with Men, His Choice
He will dwell with them, and they shall be His People, God Himself
He will be with them, be their God, will wipe away their tears Himself
There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying, no more pain
For all the former things, have passed away, loss, yet so much gain
Then He who sat on The Throne said, behold, I make All Things New
And He said to me, John, write, for these Words are Faithful and True
First, It is done, then I Am The Alpha and The Omega
The Beginning and The End, yes, Father of The Messiah
I will give of The Fountain of The Water of Life, freely
He who overcomes shall inherit All Things, for he shall see
I will be his God, and he shall be My Son, have everything
But the cowardly, abominable and unbelieving
And the Murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers
And finally All the Idolaters, and All the liars
Shall All have their part, in the lake, which burns with fire and brimstone
Which is The Second Death, at least they know, they are not alone
Then One of The Seven Angels, who had The Seven Bowls filled
With The Seven Last Plagues, came to me, and talked with me, I’m thrilled
Come, I will show YOU, The Bride, The Lamb’s Wife, for He meant God’s Son
He carried me away, in The Spirit, to a great mountain
He showed me, The Great City, The Holy Jerusalem, awed
Descending from Heaven, from God, having The Glory of God
And Her Light, was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone
Clear as crystal, She had a Great High Wall with Twelve Gates, I’m shown
With Twelve Angels, at The Gates, and names were written on each Gate
Names of The Twelve Tribes, of The Children of Israel, how great
Three Gates on each side, East, North, South, and West, I walked around them
Now The Wall of The City, had Twelve Foundations, and on Them
Were the names of The Twelve Apostles of The Lamb, which I see
He who talked with me, had a Gold Reed, to measure The City
Its Gates and its Wall, and The City, is laid out as a square
Its Length is as great as its Breadth, he measured The City, with care
Twelve Thousand Furlongs, its Length, Breadth, and Height, equal, as measured
Its Wall, One Hundred Forty-four Cubits, The Angel measured
The Construction of its Wall, was of jasper, and beautiful
The City was pure gold, like clear glass, and was so beautiful
The Foundations, of The Wall of The City, were well adorned
With all kinds of precious stones, I saw, each Foundation adorned
The First Foundation was jasper, and The Second sapphire
The Third chalcedony, The Fourth emerald, how they inspire
The Fifth sardonyx, The Sixth sardius, Seventh chrysolite
The Eighth beryl, The Ninth topaz, Tenth chrysoprase, a delight
The Eleventh jacinth, and The Twelfth amethyst, completes it
The Twelve Gates were Twelve Pearls, each Gate of One Pearl, imagine it
The Street of The City, pure gold, like transparent glass, His Way
But I saw no Temple in it, The Angel went on to say
The Lord God Almighty and The Lamb, are its Temple, divine
So The City had no need, for the Sun or the Moon, to shine
The Glory of God, illuminated it, The Lamb its Light
And Yes, The Nations, of those who are Saved, shall walk in its Light
And The Kings of the Earth, bring their Glory and Honor, His Might
Its Gates, shall not be shut, at all by day, for there is no night
They bring The Glory and The Honor of the Nations, big smiles
But there shall, by no means, enter anything that defiles
Or causes an abomination or a lie, it’s your Life
But only those whose names are written, in The Lamb’s Book of Life
He showed me, a Pure River of Water of Life, crystal clear
Proceeding from The Throne of God and of The Lamb, do not fear
In the middle of its Street, on either side of The River
The Tree of Life, which bore Twelve Fruits, how often would this occur
Each Tree yielding its Fruit, every month, their leaves were for healing
With The Throne of God and of The Lamb, that covers everything
His Servants shall serve Him, and they shall see His Face, His Glory
His Name, shall be on their foreheads, They Reign for Eternity
Then he said to me, These Words are Faithful and True, now YOU know
The Lord God of The Holy Prophets, sent His Angel to show
His Servants, things which must shortly take place, I’m Coming Quickly
He said, Blessed is he, who keeps The Words of The Prophecy
Now I, John, saw and heard these things, then I fell down to worship
At the feet of The Angel, who showed me these things, to worship
He said, see that YOU don’t do that, I am Your Fellow Servant
And of Your Brethren, The Prophets, on the front lines, the forefront
And of Those who keep The Words of This Book, Worship God, He said
Do not seal The Words of The Prophecy of this Book, well said
The Time is now, he who is unjust, let him be unjust still
The Time is now, he who is filthy, let him be filthy still
The Time is now, he who is Righteous, let him be Righteous still
The Time is now, he who is Holy, let him be Holy still
Behold, I am Coming Quickly, and My Reward is with Me
To give to everyone according to his works, finally
For I Am The Alpha and The Omega, The Beginning
And The End, The First and The Last, the point I have been making
Blessed are those, who do His Commandments, doing right in His Sight
That they may have The Right to The Tree of Life, where there’s no night
That they may enter, through The Gates, into The Holy City
But outside are dogs, sorcerers, immoral sexually
Murderers, idolaters, whoever loves to tell a lie
For I, Jesus, have sent My Angel to YOU to Testify
I am The Root, The Offspring of David, The Bright Morning Star
The Spirit and The Bride say, Come, yes, truly come as YOU are
Let him who hears say, Come, and let him who thirsts come, willingly
And whoever yearns, let him take The Water of Life, freely
For I, John, Testify to everyone, who hears, Jesus’ Words
The Words of The Prophecy of this Book, just pay it forwards
If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him, one day
The Plagues, written in this Book, and if anyone takes away
From The Words of The Book of This Prophecy, God takes away
His part, from The Book of Life, from The Holy City, one day
From the things which are Written in this Book, meaning YOU or me
He who Testifies to these things says, I am Coming Quickly
Amen, even so, Come, Lord Jesus, true knowledge for All Men
Let The Grace of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with YOU All, Amen
