“And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because all He has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice – the kind He will find acceptable. This its truly the way to worship Him. Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing at the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for your, which is good and pleasing and perfect.”(Romans 12:1-2, NLT)

“Don’t sin by letting anger control you. Don’t let the sun go down while you are still angry, for anger gives a foothold to the devil.” (Ephesians 4:26-27, NLT)

“Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry.” (James 1:19, NLT)

“‘Comfort, comfort my people,’ says your God. Yes, the Sovereign Lord is coming in power. He will rule with a powerful arm. See, He brings His reward to them as holding them close to His heart. He will gently lead the mother sheep with their young.” (Isaiah 40:1, 10-11, NLT)

“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When we are troubled, we will be able to give them he same comfort God has given us. For the more we suffer for Christ, the more God will shower us with His comfort though Christ” (2 Corinthians 1:3-5, NLT)

“‘I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright and morning star.’

The Spirit and bride say, ‘Come.’ Let anyone who hears this say, ‘Come.’ Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life. And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears the words of prophecy written in this book: If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book. And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person’s share in the tree of life and in the holy city that are described in this book.

He who is the faithful witness to all these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon!’

Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!

May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s holy people.” (Revelation 22: vv. 16-21, NLT)

“‘Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book.’

I John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me. But he said,’No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written this in this book. Worship only God!’

Then he instructed me, ‘Do not seal up the prophetic words in this book, for a time is near. Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the One who is holy continue to be Holy.’

‘Look, I am coming soon, bringing My reward with me to repay people according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the last, the Beginning and the End.’

Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life. Outside the city are the dogs – the sorcery, the sexually immoral, the murders, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie. (Revelation 22: vv. 1-15, NLT)

“Then the angel showed me a river with the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. It flowed down the center of the Main Street. On each side of the river grew a tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, with a fresh crop each month. The leaves were used for medicine to heal the nations.

No longer will there be a curse upon anything. For the throne of God and of the Lamb will be there, and His servants will worship Him. And they will see His face, and His name will be written on their foreheads. And there will be no more night there – no need for lamps or sun – for the Lord God will shine on them. And they will reign forever and ever.

Then the angel said to me, Everything you have heard and seen is trustworthy and true. The Lord God who inspires His prophets has sent His angel to tell His servants what will happen soon.'” (Revelation 12: vv. 1-6, NLT)

“I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are in the temple. And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. The nations will walk in light, and the kings of the world will enter the city its in all their glory. Its gates will never be closed at the end of the day because there is no night there. And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. Nothing evil will be allowed to enter no anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty – but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. (Revelation 21: vv. 22-27, NLT)

“”But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars – their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death. ‘

Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls containing the seven last plagues came and said to me, ‘Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.’

So he took me in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious stone-like jasper and as clear as crystal. The city wall was broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written the gates. There were three gates on each side-east, north, south, and west. The wall fo the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles. Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (according to the human standard used by the angel).

The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass. The wall of the city was built on foundation stones in laid with twelve precious tones: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian the seventh chrysolite, they eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst.

The twelve gates were made of pearls-each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.” (Revelation 21: vv. 8-21, NLT)

“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the seas were also gone. And I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem , coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, ‘Look, God’s home is now among His people! He will live with them, and they will be His people. God Himself will be with them. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be nor more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.’

And the One sitting on the throne said, ‘Look, I am making everything new!’ And then He said to me, ‘Write this down, for what I tell your is trustworthy and true.’ And he also said, ‘It is finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega – the Beginning and the End. To all. who are thirsty I will give freely from the springs of the water of life. All who are victorious will inherit all these blessings, and I will be their God, and they will be My children.'” (Revelation 21: vv. 1-7, NLT)

“And I saw a great white throne and the One sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from His presence, but they. found no place to hide. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. Any one whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20: vv. 11-15, NLT)
