Now after the final judgement Revelation 21 points to the tremendous blessings God will give his people. "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth... and I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem coming down from heaven from God... prepared as a bride... and it was announced that now God dwells with men... and he will wipe all tears dry... and there will be no more death or pain... and God announced that he was making everything new... I am the Alpha and the Omega and will give water to the thirsty... and he who overcomes will inherit this... but unbelieving murderers, sexually immoral and idolaters will go to the fiery lake which is the second death... then an angel invited me to see the bride... and he showed me Jerusalem coming down from heaven shining brightly with a high wall with 12 gates with angels at the gates... and there were 12 foundations with the names of the apostles... and the city was a 1,400 mile square and the wall was of Jasper and the city was pure gold... and the foundations were of precious stones... the 12 gates were pearls and the street was pure gold... and there was no temple because God and the Lamb are its temple... and there is no sun or moon because it is lit by God's glory... and there will be no night there... and nothing impure will enter... but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life".
