Then John saw a great white throne in heav-en, and Je-sus sat on it. And the dead rose from their graves, and came and stood near the throne to be judged. All the things that they had done while on the earth were put down in the books out of which they were judged. And if their names were not in the Book of Life they were cast in-to the lake of fire. When this great day was past, John saw new skies and a new earth, for the old earth and skies had been burnt up, And he saw the New Je-ru-sa-lem come down from the skies, and heard a voice say that God would come and live with men. Round the New Je-ru-sa-lem, which was built of gold, was a high wall with twelve gates, three on each side. At each gate was an an-gel to guard it. In the walls were all kinds of rich and rare gems, and its twelve gates were made of pearls. There was no need of the sun or the moon, for God was there and Je-sus, and they made it light. And those whom Je-sus had saved--Jews and Gen-tiles, rich and poor--were to come and live in it. And the gates should not be shut, for there will be no night there. And none but those whose names are in the Book of Life shall go in-to it. [Illustration: ST. JOHN'S VIS-ION.] And John saw a pure riv-er called the wa-ter of life. On each side of it grew the tree of life that bore twelve kinds of fruit, which were ripe each month. And those who dwell in that land of light, and eat the fruits of the tree of life, and drink of the wa-ter of life, shall see the Lord's face and be with him and serve him. He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, nor grief, nor pain. Je-sus said to John, Blest are they who keep God's laws and do his will, that they may pass through the gates to his bright home on high. THE END. Routledge's Historical Course.
