- 1:07Speaker 2: Ask for God's presence to fill the room as we

- 1:19Speaker 2: to fill this room with your presence. I pray for
- 1:24Speaker 2: your total peace and relaxation as I rest securely in
- 1:30Speaker 2: the fold of your arms. Fill my dreams with joyful
- 1:36Speaker 2: thoughts of You and your Holy City. In the holy

- 1:46Speaker 2: and distraction will fade away as I fall asleep tonight
- 1:51Speaker 2: trusting in you, and may you bless us as we
- 1:56Speaker 2: read this prophecy, May you bless all who listen to
- 2:01Speaker 2: its message and obey what it says, for the time
- 2:05Speaker 2: is near. Now. Imagine that you are John, the beloved
- 2:13Speaker 2: disciple of Jesus. You have lived faithfully for the Lord
- 2:20Speaker 2: and have witnessed his death and resurrection. It is many
- 2:25Speaker 2: years later, and you are alone on the island of Patmos.
- 2:30Speaker 2: You are praying in the Holy Spirit. You hear the
- 2:34Speaker 2: waves gently coming in and going back out. You smell
- 2:40Speaker 2: the fragrance of the sea and the sand, and the
- 2:44Speaker 2: sun is warm on your face. As you pray, Jesus
- 2:51Speaker 2: sends an angel to you. His face is pure light
- 2:56Speaker 2: and warm. He is kind. And watch the angel as
- 3:03Speaker 2: he presents you with a special revelation of things that
- 3:07Speaker 2: will soon take place. Your heart fills with a deep
- 3:13Speaker 2: assurance of God's presence. His plan is perfect, his ways
- 3:20Speaker 2: are sure. He has the future in his hands. You
- 3:27Speaker 2: are deeply comforted and secure in the Lord. You look
- 3:34Speaker 2: into heaven and you see Jesus, the Lamb who was slain,
- 3:39Speaker 2: alive and on his throne. You hear the voices of
- 3:45Speaker 2: thousands and millions of angels and living beings and elders
- 3:51Speaker 2: around Jesus, and they sing in a mighty sweet chorus.
- 3:58Speaker 2: Worthy is the Lamb who was slay to receive power
- 4:02Speaker 2: and riches and wisdom and strength, and honor and glory
- 4:08Speaker 2: and blessing. And you heard every creature in heaven and
- 4:13Speaker 2: on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea,
- 4:17Speaker 2: they sing, blessing and honor and glory and power belong
- 4:23Speaker 2: to the one sitting on the throne, and to Jesus,
- 4:27Speaker 2: the Lamb. Forever and ever, as your mind tries to
- 4:33Speaker 2: make sense of it all, you are comforted by the
- 4:36Speaker 2: loving eyes of Jesus, who is with you every step
- 4:41Speaker 2: of the way. Know that Jesus is waiting for you
- 4:46Speaker 2: in heaven. Let that give you perfect rest. Tonight you
- 4:53Speaker 2: see the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down from heaven,
- 4:59Speaker 2: adorn and as a bride ready to meet her husband,
- 5:04Speaker 2: adorned with jewels, pure and clean. You witness this magnificent
- 5:09Speaker 2: event in awe and wonder. Then you hear a voice
- 5:16Speaker 2: from heaven saying, behold, the dwelling place of God is
- 5:21Speaker 2: with man. He will dwell with them, and they will
- 5:25Speaker 2: be his people, and God himself will be with them
- 5:30Speaker 2: as their God. He will wipe away every tear from
- 5:34Speaker 2: their eyes, and death shall be no more. Neither shall
- 5:39Speaker 2: there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more, for
- 5:44Speaker 2: the former things have passed away. These words from the
- 5:50Speaker 2: Lord give you deep comfort. You dream of a place
- 5:55Speaker 2: where there is no more sorrow or pain. In fact,
- 5:59Speaker 2: you picture that place now, a place of peace, of holiness,
- 6:07Speaker 2: of joy, and of rest. There is nothing to be
- 6:15Speaker 2: afraid of. The words of the Lord are trustworthy and true.
- 6:21Speaker 2: Hear the precious promises of the Lord. He is making
- 6:26Speaker 2: all things new. He is making all things new. He
- 6:33Speaker 2: is making all things new. Everything else fades away as
- 6:42Speaker 2: you imagine the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven.
- 6:48Speaker 2: As a bride, feel yourself being carried by the Angel,
- 6:56Speaker 2: carried in the spirit of the Lord. He carries you
- 7:01Speaker 2: to a place overlooking the great City. As the New
- 7:07Speaker 2: Jerusalem is descending from heaven, you are amazed by its radiance,
- 7:13Speaker 2: for the glory of God surrounds it. You feel it,
- 7:18Speaker 2: you sense it with every fiber of your being. The
- 7:24Speaker 2: Glory of God is in this place. The light of
- 7:30Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem is like a precious stone, clear as crystal,
- 7:37Speaker 2: Imagine the reflections, the shimmerings, the glistening of that glorious light.
- 7:44Speaker 2: As the Holy City descends before your eyes, you see
- 7:50Speaker 2: a high wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding
- 7:55Speaker 2: those gates, three to the north, three to the south,
- 8:00Speaker 2: three to the east, and three to the west. On
- 8:05Speaker 2: the gates are the inscriptions of the twelve tribes of Israel.
- 8:12Speaker 2: You hear a voice from heaven describing every detail of
- 8:17Speaker 2: the Holy City, from the outer wall to the very center.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Everything is explained to you. Listen to the voice of
- 8:27Speaker 2: the one who speaks to you tonight. Hear what the
- 8:31Speaker 2: Spirit and the Bride has to say. In perfect peace,
- 8:38Speaker 2: you listen to the beautiful descriptions of the New Jerusalem.
- 8:43Speaker 2: You are calm and relaxed. You breathe deeply of the
- 8:50Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. You willingly receive what he has to share
- 8:55Speaker 2: with you tonight. Gold, if your gold, are the words
- 9:02Speaker 2: that describe the streets of the Holy City. Like clear glass,
- 9:08Speaker 2: the golden street shimmers and shines in beautiful brilliants. Imagine
- 9:15Speaker 2: yourself walking on that street of gold. Step by step,
- 9:20Speaker 2: you walk in perfect peace, surrounded by the glory of God.
- 9:29Speaker 2: As you walk through the city. You see that the
- 9:33Speaker 2: foundations of the wall are adorned with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire,
- 9:39Speaker 2: and emerald are only a few of the stones mentioned.
- 9:44Speaker 2: You touch them, amazed by their beauty. They are smooth
- 9:49Speaker 2: and brilliant colors of red, blue, and green, unlike any
- 9:54Speaker 2: precious jewels you've ever seen or touched. As you come
- 10:00Speaker 2: to one of the gates, you realize that it is
- 10:03Speaker 2: made of pearl. You reach out to touch the smooth,
- 10:07Speaker 2: white surface. You are amazed to discover that each gate
- 10:13Speaker 2: is made of one hole pearl. You've never seen anything
- 10:19Speaker 2: so beautiful. As you look around, you do not see
- 10:24Speaker 2: a temple in the Holy City of God. There is
- 10:28Speaker 2: no need for one, for the Lord God Almighty and
- 10:32Speaker 2: the Lamb are its temple. You look up and see
- 10:37Speaker 2: there is no sun or moon, yet there is light.
- 10:42Speaker 2: There is no need for sun or moon or stars,
- 10:47Speaker 2: for the glory of God illuminates the Holy city. Imagine
- 10:52Speaker 2: that illumination now, the light of the Lamb Jesus Christ,
- 10:58Speaker 2: in all of his brilliance. You are assured that all
- 11:04Speaker 2: who are saved will walk in that glorious light in
- 11:08Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem. Even kings will bring their glory and
- 11:13Speaker 2: honor into the great City, and those whose names are
- 11:18Speaker 2: written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be there,
- 11:22Speaker 2: walking the streets of pure gold. Imagine the Lamb's Book
- 11:28Speaker 2: of Life, the page's turning, turning one by one until
- 11:36Speaker 2: you see your name appear. Your name is in the
- 11:41Speaker 2: Book of Life. Listen as Jesus, your loving Savior, reads
- 11:50Speaker 2: your name aloud from the book. Feel as he takes
- 11:55Speaker 2: you by the hand and hugs you, welcoming you into
- 12:01Speaker 2: His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's people smiling and joyful,
- 12:09Speaker 2: without any sorrow or pain. You hear the sounds of
- 12:13Speaker 2: birds and rushing water, living water that only the Savior
- 12:19Speaker 2: can give. You, feel the gentlest breeze on your face,
- 12:25Speaker 2: and know that the very presence of God is with you.
- 12:31Speaker 2: You've never felt more at peace. This is what eternity is. Finally,

- 12:46Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. It is done. I am the Alpha
- 12:53Speaker 2: and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will

- 13:03Speaker 2: to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things,
- 13:10Speaker 2: and I will be his God, and he shall be
- 13:15Speaker 2: my son. As you rest safely in the arms of
- 13:21Speaker 2: the Savior, May the Holy Spirit fill you with his
- 13:25Speaker 2: presence and anoint your dreams with thoughts of the New
- 13:29Speaker 2: Jerusalem and eternity with him who loves you. Let me

- 31:59Speaker 2: into heaven and you see Jesus, the Lamb who was slain,
- 32:04Speaker 2: alive and on his throne. You hear the voices of
- 32:10Speaker 2: thousands and millions of angels and living beings and elders
- 32:16Speaker 2: around Jesus, and they sing in a mighty sweet chorus.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power
- 32:27Speaker 2: and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory
- 32:33Speaker 2: and blessing. And you heard every creature in heaven and
- 32:38Speaker 2: on earth, and under the earth, and in the sea
- 32:42Speaker 2: they sing, Blessing and honor and glory and power belong
- 32:48Speaker 2: to the one sitting on the throne, and to Jesus
- 32:52Speaker 2: the Lamb. Forever and ever, as your mind tries to
- 32:58Speaker 2: make sense of it all, you are comforted by the

- 33:24Speaker 2: adorned as a bride ready to meet her husband, adorned
- 33:29Speaker 2: with jewels, pure and clean. You witness this magnificent event
- 33:35Speaker 2: in awe and wonder. Then you hear a voice from
- 33:41Speaker 2: heaven saying, behold, the dwelling place of God is with man.
- 33:48Speaker 2: He will dwell with them, and they will be his people,
- 33:52Speaker 2: and God himself will be with them as their God.
- 33:57Speaker 2: He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and
- 34:01Speaker 2: death shall be no more. Neither shall there be mourning,
- 34:06Speaker 2: nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have
- 34:11Speaker 2: passed away. These words from the Lord give you deep comfort.
- 34:18Speaker 2: You dream of a place where there is no more
- 34:21Speaker 2: sorrow or pain. In fact, you picture that place now,
- 34:27Speaker 2: a place of peace, of holiness, of joy, and of rest.
- 34:38Speaker 2: There is nothing to be afraid of. The words of
- 34:42Speaker 2: the Lord are trustworthy and true. Here the precious promises
- 34:48Speaker 2: of the Lord. He is making all things new. He
- 34:54Speaker 2: is making all things new. He is making all all
- 35:00Speaker 2: things new. Everything else fades away. As you imagine the
- 35:09Speaker 2: Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven. As a bride,
- 35:17Speaker 2: feel yourself being carried by the Angel, carried in the
- 35:22Speaker 2: spirit of the Lord. He carries you to a place
- 35:27Speaker 2: overlooking the great City. As the New Jerusalem is descending
- 35:34Speaker 2: from heaven, you are amazed by its radiance, for the
- 35:39Speaker 2: glory of God surrounds it. You feel it, you sense
- 35:44Speaker 2: it with every fiber of your being. The Glory of
- 35:50Speaker 2: God is in this place. The light of the New
- 35:56Speaker 2: Jerusalem is like a precious stone as crystal. Imagine the reflections,
- 36:04Speaker 2: the shimmerings, the glistening of that glorious light. As the
- 36:09Speaker 2: Holy City descends before your eyes, you see a high
- 36:16Speaker 2: wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding those gates,
- 36:22Speaker 2: three to the north, three to the south, three to
- 36:26Speaker 2: the east, and three to the west. On the gates
- 36:31Speaker 2: are the inscriptions of the twelve tribes of Israel. You
- 36:37Speaker 2: hear a voice from heaven describing every detail of the
- 36:42Speaker 2: Holy City, from the outer wall to the very center.
- 36:47Speaker 2: Everything is explained to you. Listen to the voice of
- 36:52Speaker 2: the one who speaks to you tonight. Hear what the
- 36:56Speaker 2: Spirit and the Bride has to say. In perfect peace.
- 37:03Speaker 2: You listen to the beautiful descriptions of the New Jerusalem.
- 37:08Speaker 2: You are calm and relaxed. You breathe deeply of the
- 37:15Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. You willingly receive what he has to share
- 37:20Speaker 2: with you tonight. Gold, pure gold are the words that
- 37:28Speaker 2: describe the streets of the Holy City. Like clear glass.
- 37:34Speaker 2: The golden street shimmers and shines in beautiful brilliance. Imagine
- 37:40Speaker 2: yourself walking on that street of gold. Step by step,
- 37:46Speaker 2: you walk in perfect peace, surrounded by the glory of God.
- 37:54Speaker 2: As you walk through the city, you see that the
- 37:58Speaker 2: foundations of the wall are adorned with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire,
- 38:05Speaker 2: and emerald are only a few of the stones mentioned.
- 38:09Speaker 2: You touch them, amazed by their beauty. They are smooth,
- 38:14Speaker 2: and brilliant colors of red, blue, and green, unlike any
- 38:20Speaker 2: precious jewels you've ever seen or touched. As you come
- 38:25Speaker 2: to one of the gates, you realize that it is
- 38:28Speaker 2: made of pearl. You reach out to touch the smooth,
- 38:33Speaker 2: white surface. You are amazed to discover that each gate
- 38:38Speaker 2: is made of one whole pearl. You've never seen anything
- 38:44Speaker 2: so beautiful. As you look around, you do not see
- 38:49Speaker 2: a temple in the Holy City of God. There is
- 38:53Speaker 2: no need for one, for the Lord God Almighty and
- 38:57Speaker 2: the Lamb are its temple. You look up and see
- 39:03Speaker 2: there is no sun or moon, yet there is light.
- 39:08Speaker 2: There is no need for sun or moon or stars,
- 39:12Speaker 2: for the glory of God illuminates the Holy City. Imagine
- 39:17Speaker 2: that illumination, now, the light of the Lamb Jesus Christ,
- 39:23Speaker 2: in all of his brilliance. You are assured that all
- 39:29Speaker 2: who are saved will walk in that glorious light in
- 39:34Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem. Even kings will bring their glory and
- 39:39Speaker 2: honor into the great city, and those whose names are
- 39:43Speaker 2: written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be there,
- 39:47Speaker 2: walking the streets of pure gold. Imagine the Lamb's Book
- 39:53Speaker 2: of Life. The page's turning turning one by one until
- 40:01Speaker 2: you see your name appear. Your name is in the
- 40:07Speaker 2: Book of Life. Listen as Jesus, your loving Savior, reads
- 40:16Speaker 2: your name aloud from the book. Feel as he takes
- 40:21Speaker 2: you by the hand and hugs you, welcoming you into
- 40:26Speaker 2: His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's people smiling and joyful,
- 40:34Speaker 2: without any sorrow or pain. You hear the sounds of
- 40:38Speaker 2: birds and rushing water, living water that only the Savior
- 40:44Speaker 2: can give. You, feel the gentlest breeze on your face,
- 40:50Speaker 2: and know that the very presence of God is with you.
- 40:56Speaker 2: You've never felt more at peace. This is what eternity is. Finally,
- 41:06Speaker 2: you hear the most wonderful words of all the words
- 41:11Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. It is done. I am the Alpha
- 41:18Speaker 2: and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will
- 41:24Speaker 2: give of the fountain of the water of life freely
- 41:28Speaker 2: to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things.
- 41:35Speaker 2: And I will be his God, and he shall be
- 41:40Speaker 2: my son. As you rest safely in the arms of
- 41:46Speaker 2: the Savior, may the Holy Spirit fill you with his
- 41:50Speaker 2: presence and anoint your dreams with thoughts of the New
- 41:54Speaker 2: Jerusalem and Eternity. With Him who loves you. Let me
- 42:01Speaker 2: pray for you now, Holy God, matchless in glory. I
- 42:08Speaker 2: pray for your beloved tonight as they rest securely in
- 42:13Speaker 2: the hope that they have in You. I ask for
- 42:18Speaker 2: perfect peace to come over their heart, mind, and soul

- 42:38Speaker 2: letting all thoughts fade away in Jesus, preciously. Welcome to
- 42:55Speaker 2: the bedtime story of Heaven, a journey through New Jerusalem.
- 43:03Speaker 2: The apostle John, also known as the One Jesus Loved,
- 43:08Speaker 2: received this vision from Jesus so he could share it
- 43:12Speaker 2: with you. It describes your future home in beautiful detail
- 43:19Speaker 2: in the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Now close your eyes, lie down in comfort, and let
- 43:30Speaker 2: your body relax. Take some peaceful breaths as we walk

- 45:10Speaker 2: praying in the Holy Spirit. You hear the waves gently

- 45:24Speaker 2: warm on your face. As you pray, Jesus sends an
- 45:30Speaker 2: angel to you. His face is pure, light and warm.

- 46:53Speaker 2: and under the earth, and in the sea, they sing
- 46:57Speaker 2: blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the
- 47:03Speaker 2: one sitting on the throne, and to Jesus, the Lamb.

- 1:03:09Speaker 2: the Lord are trustworthy and true. Hear the precious promises
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: of the Lord. He is making all things new. He
- 1:03:21Speaker 2: is making all things new. He is making all things new.
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: Everything else fades away. As you imagine the Holy City,
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven. As a bride, feel
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: yourself being carried by the Angel, carried in the spirit
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: of the Lord. He carries you to a place overlooking
- 1:03:55Speaker 2: the great City. As the New Jerusale is descending from heaven,
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: you are amazed by its radiance, for the glory of
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: God surrounds it. You feel it, you sense it with
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: every fiber of your being. The Glory of God is
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: in this place. The light of the New Jerusalem is
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: like a precious stone, clear as crystal. Imagine the reflections,
- 1:04:31Speaker 2: the shimmerings, the glistening of that glorious light. As the
- 1:04:36Speaker 2: Holy City descends before your eyes, you see a high
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding those gates,
- 1:04:48Speaker 2: three to the north, three to the south, three to
- 1:04:53Speaker 2: the east, and three to the west. On the gates
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: are the inscriptions of the twelve tribes of Israel. You
- 1:05:04Speaker 2: hear a voice from heaven describing every detail of the
- 1:05:09Speaker 2: Holy City. From the outer wall to the very center,
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: everything is explained to you. Listen to the voice of
- 1:05:19Speaker 2: the one who speaks to you tonight. Hear what this
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: spirit and the bride has to say. In perfect peace,
- 1:05:30Speaker 2: you listen to the beautiful descriptions of the new Jerusalem.
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: You are calm and relaxed. You breathe deeply of the
- 1:05:42Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. You willingly receive what he has to share
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: with you tonight. Gold, pure gold are the words that
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: describe the streets of the Holy City. Like clear glass,
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: the golden Street shimmers and shines in beautiful brilliants. Imagine
- 1:06:07Speaker 2: yourself walking on that street of gold. Step by step,
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: you walk in perfect peace, surrounded by the glory of God.
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: As you walk through the city, you see that the
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: foundations of the wall are adorned with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire,
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: and emerald are only a few of the stones mentioned.
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: You've touched them, amazed by their beauty. They are smooth
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: and brilliant colors of red, blue, and green, unlike any
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: precious jewels you've ever seen or touched. As you come
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: to one of the gates, you realize that it is
- 1:06:55Speaker 2: made of pearl. You reach out to touch the smooth,
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: white surface. You are amazed to discover that each gate
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: is made of one whole pearl. You've never seen anything
- 1:07:11Speaker 2: so beautiful. As you look around, you do not see
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: a temple in the Holy City of God. There is
- 1:07:20Speaker 2: no need for one, for the Lord God Almighty and
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: the Lamb are its temple. You look up and see
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: there is no sun or moon, yet there is light.
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: There is no need for sun or moon or stars,
- 1:07:39Speaker 2: for the glory of God illuminates the Holy City. Imagine
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: that illumination, now the light of the Lamb, Jesus Christ,
- 1:07:50Speaker 2: in all of his brilliance. You are assured that all
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: you are saved will walk in that glorious light in
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem. Even kings will bring their glory and
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: honor into the great City, and those whose names are
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be there,
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: walking the streets of pure gold. Imagine the Lamb's Book
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: of Life, the page's turning, turning one by one until
- 1:08:28Speaker 2: you see your name appear. Your name is in the
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: Book of Life. Listen as Jesus, your Loving Savior, reads
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: your name aloud from the book. Feel as he takes
- 1:08:47Speaker 2: you by the hand and hugs you, welcoming you into
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's people smiling and joyful,
- 1:09:01Speaker 2: without any sorrow or pain. You hear the sounds of
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: birds and rushing water, living water that only the Savior
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: can give. You feel the gentlest breeze on your face,
- 1:09:17Speaker 2: and know that the very presence of God is with you.
- 1:09:23Speaker 2: You've never felt more at peace. This is what eternity is. Finally,
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: you hear the most wonderful words of all the words
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. It is done. I am the Alpha
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: give of the fountain of the water of life freely
- 1:09:55Speaker 2: to him who thirsts, he who overcomes shall I'll inherit
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: all things, and I will be his God, and he
- 1:10:06Speaker 2: shall be my son. As you rest safely in the
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: arms of the Savior, may the Holy Spirit fill you
- 1:10:17Speaker 2: with his presence and anoint your dreams with thoughts of
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem and Eternity. With him who loves you.
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: Let me pray for you now, Holy God, matchless in glory.
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: I pray for your beloved tonight as they rest securely
- 1:10:40Speaker 2: in the hope that they have in you. I ask
- 1:10:44Speaker 2: for perfect peace to come over their heart, mind, and
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: soul as they sleep deeply and securely in your arms.
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: Pray deeply, steadily, calmly, letting all thoughts fade in Jesus
- 1:11:11Speaker 2: precious Ay. Welcome to the bedtime story of Heaven, a
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: journey through New Jerusalem. The apostle John, also known as
- 1:11:32Speaker 2: the One Jesus Loved, received this vision from Jesus so
- 1:11:37Speaker 2: he could share it with you. It describes your future
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: home in beautiful detail in the last book of the Bible,
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: the Book of Revelation. Now close your eyes, lie down
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: in comfort, and let your body relax. Take some peaceful
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: breaths as we walk together through the gates of the
- 1:12:05Speaker 2: Holy City, the New Jerusalem, in all of its beauty
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: and splendor. Ask for God's presence to fill the room
- 1:12:15Speaker 2: as we begin your bedtime story. In prayer, Lord, I
- 1:12:23Speaker 2: ask you to fill this room with your presence. I
- 1:12:28Speaker 2: pray for your total peace and relaxation as I rest
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: securely in the fold of your arms. Fill my dreams
- 1:12:40Speaker 2: with joyful thoughts of You and your Holy City. In
- 1:12:45Speaker 2: the holy name of your Son, Jesus, I pray that
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: all worry and distraction will fade away. As I fall
- 1:12:54Speaker 2: asleep tonight, trusting in you, and may you bless us.
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: As we read this prophecy, may you bless all who
- 1:13:06Speaker 2: listen to its message and obey what it says, for
- 1:13:10Speaker 2: the time is near. Now. Imagine that you are John,
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: the beloved disciple of Jesus. You have lived faithfully for
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: the Lord and have witnessed his death and resurrection. It
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: is many years later, and you are alone on the
- 1:13:33Speaker 2: island of Patmos. You are praying in the Holy Spirit.
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: You hear the waves gently coming in and going back out.
- 1:13:45Speaker 2: You smell the fragrance of the sea and the seant,
- 1:13:49Speaker 2: and the sun is warm on your face. As you pray,
- 1:13:55Speaker 2: Jesus sends an angel to you. His face is pure,
- 1:14:01Speaker 2: light and warm. He is kind and strong. Watch the
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: angel as he presents you with a special revelation of
- 1:14:12Speaker 2: things that will soon take place. Your heart fills with
- 1:14:18Speaker 2: a deep assurance of God's presence. His plan is perfect,
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: his ways are sure. He has the future in his hands.
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: You are deeply comforted and secure in the Lord. You
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: look into heaven and you see Jesus, the Lamb who
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: was slain, alive and on his throne. You hear the
- 1:14:49Speaker 2: voices of thousands and millions of angels and living beings
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: and elders around Jesus, and they sing in a mi
- 1:15:00Speaker 2: lady sweet chorus. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength, and
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: honor and glory and blessing. And you heard every creature
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: in heaven and on earth, and under the earth, and
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: in the sea, they sing, blessing and honor and glory
- 1:15:26Speaker 2: and power belong to the one sitting on the throne,
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: and to Jesus, the Lamb. Forever and ever. As your
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: mind tries to make sense of it all, you are
- 1:15:41Speaker 2: comforted by the loving eyes of Jesus, who is with
- 1:15:45Speaker 2: you every step of the way. Know that Jesus is
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: waiting for you in heaven. Let that give you perfect rest.
- 1:15:56Speaker 2: Tonight you see the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming
- 1:16:02Speaker 2: down from Heaven, adorned as a bride ready to meet
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: her husband, adorned with jewels, pure and clean. You witness
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: this magnificent event in awe and wonder. Then you hear
- 1:16:20Speaker 2: a voice from heaven saying, behold, the dwelling place of
- 1:16:26Speaker 2: God is with man. He will dwell with them, and
- 1:16:30Speaker 2: they will be His people. And God himself will be
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: with them as their God. He will wipe away every
- 1:16:39Speaker 2: tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more.
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more,
- 1:16:49Speaker 2: for the former things have passed away. These words from
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: the Lord give you deep comfort. You dream of a
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: place where there is no more sorrow or pain. In fact,
- 1:17:05Speaker 2: you picture that place now, a place of peace, of holiness,
- 1:17:12Speaker 2: of joy, and of rest. There is nothing to be
- 1:17:20Speaker 2: afraid of. The words of the Lord are trustworthy and true.

- 1:17:32Speaker 2: all things new. He is making all things new. He
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: is making all things new. Everything else fades away as

- 1:17:54Speaker 2: As a bride, feel yourself being carried by the Angel,
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: carried in the spirit of the Lord. He carries you

- 2:01:30Speaker 2: wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding those gates,
- 2:01:36Speaker 2: three to the north, three to the south, three to
- 2:01:40Speaker 2: the east, and three to the west. On the gates
- 2:01:45Speaker 2: are the inscriptions of the twelve tribes of Israel. You
- 2:01:51Speaker 2: hear a voice from heaven describing every detail of the
- 2:01:56Speaker 2: Holy City, from the outer wall to the very center.
- 2:02:01Speaker 2: Everything is explained to you. Listen to the voice of
- 2:02:06Speaker 2: the one who speaks to you tonight. Hear what the
- 2:02:10Speaker 2: Spirit and the Bride has to say. In perfect peace,
- 2:02:17Speaker 2: you listen to the beautiful descriptions of the New Jerusalem.
- 2:02:22Speaker 2: You are calm and relaxed. You breathe deeply of the
- 2:02:29Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. You willingly receive what he has to share
- 2:02:34Speaker 2: with you. Tonight. Gold, pure gold, are the words that
- 2:02:42Speaker 2: describe the streets of the Holy City like clear glass,
- 2:02:48Speaker 2: the Golden Street shimmers and shines in beautiful brilliance. Imagine
- 2:02:54Speaker 2: yourself walking on that street of gold. Step by step,
- 2:03:00Speaker 2: you walk in perfect peace, surrounded by the glory of God.
- 2:03:08Speaker 2: As you walk through the city, you see that the
- 2:03:12Speaker 2: foundations of the wall are adorned with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire,
- 2:03:19Speaker 2: and emerald are only a few of the stones mentioned.
- 2:03:23Speaker 2: You touch them, amazed by their beauty. They are smooth
- 2:03:28Speaker 2: and brilliant colors of red, blue, and green, unlike any
- 2:03:34Speaker 2: precious jewels you've ever seen or touched. As you come
- 2:03:39Speaker 2: to one of the gates, you realize that it is
- 2:03:42Speaker 2: made of pearl. You reach out to touch the smooth,
- 2:03:47Speaker 2: white surface. You are amazed to discover that each gate
- 2:03:53Speaker 2: is made of one whole pearl. You've never seen anything
- 2:03:58Speaker 2: so beautiful. As you look around, you do not see
- 2:04:03Speaker 2: a temple in the Holy City of God. There is
- 2:04:07Speaker 2: no need for one, for the Lord, God Almighty and
- 2:04:11Speaker 2: the Lamb are its temple. You look up and see
- 2:04:17Speaker 2: there is no sun or moon, yet there is light.
- 2:04:22Speaker 2: There is no need for sun or moon or stars,
- 2:04:26Speaker 2: for the glory of God illuminates the Holy City. Imagine
- 2:04:31Speaker 2: that illumination, now the light of the Lamb Jesus Christ,
- 2:04:37Speaker 2: in all of his brilliance. You are assured that all
- 2:04:43Speaker 2: who are saved will walk in that glorious light in
- 2:04:48Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem. Even kings will bring their glory and
- 2:04:53Speaker 2: honor into the great city, and those whose names are
- 2:04:57Speaker 2: written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be there,
- 2:05:01Speaker 2: walking the streets of pure gold. Imagine the Lamb's Book
- 2:05:08Speaker 2: of Life, the page's turning, turning one by one until
- 2:05:15Speaker 2: you see your name appear. Your name is in the
- 2:05:21Speaker 2: Book of Life. Listen as Jesus, your loving Savior, reads
- 2:05:30Speaker 2: your name aloud from the book. Feel as he takes
- 2:05:35Speaker 2: you by the hand and hugs you, welcoming you into
- 2:05:40Speaker 2: His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's people smiling and joyful,
- 2:05:48Speaker 2: without any sorrow or pain. You hear the sounds of
- 2:05:52Speaker 2: birds and rushing water, living water that only the Savior
- 2:05:58Speaker 2: can give. You, feel the gentlest breeze on your face,
- 2:06:04Speaker 2: and know that the very presence of God is with you.
- 2:06:10Speaker 2: You've never felt more at peace. This is what eternity is. Finally,
- 2:06:20Speaker 2: you hear the most wonderful words of all the words
- 2:06:25Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, it is done. I am the Alpha
- 2:06:32Speaker 2: and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will
- 2:06:38Speaker 2: give of the fountain of the water of life freely
- 2:06:42Speaker 2: to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things,
- 2:06:49Speaker 2: And I will be his God, and he shall be
- 2:06:54Speaker 2: my son. As you rest safely in the arms of
- 2:07:00Speaker 2: the Savior, may the Holy Spirit fill you with his
- 2:07:04Speaker 2: presence and anoint your dreams with thoughts of the New
- 2:07:08Speaker 2: Jerusalem and Eternity with him who loves you. Let me
- 2:07:15Speaker 2: pray for you now, Holy God, bnatchless in glory. I
- 2:07:22Speaker 2: pray for your beloved tonight as they rest securely in
- 2:07:27Speaker 2: the hope that they have in you. I ask for
- 2:07:32Speaker 2: perfect peace to come over their heart, mind, and soul
- 2:07:38Speaker 2: as they sleep deeply and securely in your arms. Pray deeply, steadily, calmly,
- 2:07:52Speaker 2: letting all thoughts faith in Jesus preciously. Welcome to the
- 2:08:10Speaker 2: bedtime story of Heaven, A journey through New Jerusalem. The
- 2:08:17Speaker 2: apostle John, also known as the One Jesus Loved, received
- 2:08:23Speaker 2: this vision from Jesus so he could share it with you.
- 2:08:28Speaker 2: It describes your future home in beautiful detail. In the
- 2:08:33Speaker 2: last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation. Now
- 2:08:40Speaker 2: close your eyes, lie down in comfort, and let your
- 2:08:45Speaker 2: body relax. Take some peaceful breaths as we walked together
- 2:08:52Speaker 2: through the gates of the Holy City, the New Jerusalem,
- 2:08:56Speaker 2: in all of its beauty and splendor. Ask for God's
- 2:09:01Speaker 2: presence to fill the room as we begin your bedtime
- 2:09:06Speaker 2: story in prayer, Lord, I ask you to fill this
- 2:09:13Speaker 2: room with your presence. I pray for your total peace
- 2:09:18Speaker 2: and relaxation as I rest securely in the fold of
- 2:09:24Speaker 2: your arms. Fill my dreams with joyful thoughts of You
- 2:09:31Speaker 2: and your holy City. In the holy name of your
- 2:09:35Speaker 2: Son Jesus, I pray that all worry and distraction will
- 2:09:41Speaker 2: fade away as I fall asleep to night, trusting in You,
- 2:09:47Speaker 2: and may you bless us. As we read this prophecy,
- 2:09:52Speaker 2: may you bless all who listen to its message and
- 2:09:56Speaker 2: obey what it says, for the time is near. Now
- 2:10:03Speaker 2: imagine that you are John, the beloved disciple of Jesus.
- 2:10:10Speaker 2: You have lived faithfully for the Lord and have witnessed
- 2:10:14Speaker 2: his death and resurrection. It is many years later, and
- 2:10:20Speaker 2: you are alone on the island of Patmos. You are
- 2:10:24Speaker 2: praying in the Holy Spirit. You hear the waves gently
- 2:10:29Speaker 2: coming in and going back out. You smell the fragrance
- 2:10:34Speaker 2: of the sea and the sand, and the sun is
- 2:10:38Speaker 2: warm on your face. As you pray, Jesus sends an
- 2:10:44Speaker 2: angel to you. His face is pure light and warm.
- 2:10:51Speaker 2: He is kind and strong. Watch the angel as he
- 2:10:56Speaker 2: presents you with a special revelation of things that will
- 2:11:01Speaker 2: soon take place. Your heart fills with a deep assurance
- 2:11:07Speaker 2: of God's presence. His plan is perfect, his ways are sure.
- 2:11:15Speaker 2: He has the future in his hands. You are deeply
- 2:11:21Speaker 2: comforted and secure in the Lord. You look into heaven
- 2:11:28Speaker 2: and you see Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, alive
- 2:11:34Speaker 2: and on his throne. You hear the voices of thousands
- 2:11:39Speaker 2: and millions of angels and living beings and elders around Jesus,
- 2:11:46Speaker 2: and they sing in a mighty, sweet chorus. Worthy is
- 2:11:52Speaker 2: the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches
- 2:11:57Speaker 2: and wisdom and strength, and honor and glory and blessing.
- 2:12:03Speaker 2: And you heard every creature in heaven and on earth,
- 2:12:07Speaker 2: and under the earth, and in the sea, they sing,
- 2:12:11Speaker 2: blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the
- 2:12:17Speaker 2: one sitting on the throne, and to Jesus the Lamb.
- 2:12:21Speaker 2: Forever and ever. As your mind tries to make sense
- 2:12:27Speaker 2: of it all, you are comforted by the loving eyes
- 2:12:31Speaker 2: of Jesus, who is with you every step of the way.
- 2:12:36Speaker 2: Know that Jesus is waiting for you in heaven. Let
- 2:12:42Speaker 2: that give you perfect rest. To night, you see the
- 2:12:47Speaker 2: Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down from heaven, adorned
- 2:12:53Speaker 2: as a bride ready to meet her husband, adorned with
- 2:12:58Speaker 2: jewels pure and clean. You witness this magnificent event in
- 2:13:03Speaker 2: awe and wonder. Then you hear a voice from heaven, saying, behold,
- 2:13:12Speaker 2: the dwelling place of God is with man. He will
- 2:13:17Speaker 2: dwell with them, and they will be his people, and
- 2:13:21Speaker 2: God himself will be with them as their God. He
- 2:13:25Speaker 2: will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death
- 2:13:29Speaker 2: shall be no more. Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying,
- 2:13:35Speaker 2: nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.
- 2:13:42Speaker 2: These words from the Lord give you deep comfort. You
- 2:13:46Speaker 2: dream of a place where there is no more sorrow
- 2:13:50Speaker 2: or pain. In fact, you picture that place now, a
- 2:13:56Speaker 2: place of peace, of holiness, of joy, and of rest.
- 2:14:06Speaker 2: There is nothing to be afraid of. The words of
- 2:14:10Speaker 2: the Lord are trustworthy and true. Hear the precious promises
- 2:14:16Speaker 2: of the Lord. He is making all things new. He
- 2:14:22Speaker 2: is making all things new. He is making all things new.
- 2:14:33Speaker 2: Everything else fades away. As you imagine the Holy City,
- 2:14:38Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven as a bride, feel
- 2:14:46Speaker 2: yourself being carried by the Angel, carried in the spirit
- 2:14:51Speaker 2: of the Lord. He carries you to a place overlooking
- 2:14:56Speaker 2: the great city. The New Jerusalem is descending from heaven.
- 2:15:03Speaker 2: You are amazed by its radiance, for the glory of
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: God surrounds it. You feel it, you sense it with
- 2:15:13Speaker 2: every fiber of your being. The Glory of God is
- 2:15:19Speaker 2: in this place. The light of the New Jerusalem is
- 2:15:25Speaker 2: like a precious stone, clear as crystal. Imagine the reflections,
- 2:15:32Speaker 2: the shimmerings, the glistening of that glorious light. As the
- 2:15:37Speaker 2: Holy City descends before your eyes, you see a high
- 2:15:44Speaker 2: wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding those gates,
- 2:15:50Speaker 2: three to the north, three to the south, three to

- 2:30:37Speaker 2: Spirit and the Bride has to say. In perfect peace.
- 2:30:44Speaker 2: You listen to the beautiful descriptions of the New Jerusalem.
- 2:30:49Speaker 2: You are calm and relaxed. You breathe deeply of the
- 2:30:56Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. You willingly receive what he has to share
- 2:31:01Speaker 2: with you tonight. Gold, pure gold are the words that
- 2:31:09Speaker 2: describe the streets of the Holy City. Like clear glass.
- 2:31:14Speaker 2: The golden street shimmers and shines in beautiful brilliants. Imagine
- 2:31:21Speaker 2: yourself walking on that street of gold. Step by step,
- 2:31:27Speaker 2: you walk in perfect peace, surrounded by the glory of God.
- 2:31:35Speaker 2: As you walk through the city, you see that the
- 2:31:39Speaker 2: foundations of the wall are adorned with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire,
- 2:31:45Speaker 2: and emerald are only a few of the stones mentioned.
- 2:31:50Speaker 2: You touch them, amazed by their beauty. They are smooth
- 2:31:55Speaker 2: and brilliant colors of red, blue, and green on like
- 2:32:00Speaker 2: any precious jewels you've ever seen or touched. As you
- 2:32:06Speaker 2: come to one of the gates, you realize that it
- 2:32:09Speaker 2: is made of pearl. You reach out to touch the smooth,
- 2:32:14Speaker 2: white surface. You are amazed to discover that each gate
- 2:32:19Speaker 2: is made of one hole pearl. You've never seen anything
- 2:32:25Speaker 2: so beautiful. As you look around, you do not see
- 2:32:30Speaker 2: a temple in the Holy City of God. There is
- 2:32:34Speaker 2: no need for one, for the Lord God Almighty and
- 2:32:38Speaker 2: the Lamb are its temple. You look up and see
- 2:32:44Speaker 2: there is no sun or moon, yet there is light.
- 2:32:48Speaker 2: There is no need for sun or moon or stars,
- 2:32:53Speaker 2: for the glory of God illuminates the Holy City. Imagine
- 2:32:58Speaker 2: that illumination now, the light of the Lamb Jesus Christ
- 2:33:04Speaker 2: in all of his brilliance. You are assured that all
- 2:33:10Speaker 2: who are saved will walk in that glorious light in
- 2:33:14Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem. Even kings will bring their glory and
- 2:33:19Speaker 2: honor into the great city, and those whose names are
- 2:33:24Speaker 2: written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Will be there
- 2:33:28Speaker 2: walking the streets of pure gold. Imagine the Lamb's Book
- 2:33:34Speaker 2: of Life, the page's turning, turning one by one until
- 2:33:42Speaker 2: you see your name appear. Your name is in the
- 2:33:48Speaker 2: Book of Life. Listen as Jesus, your loving Savior, reads
- 2:33:56Speaker 2: your name aloud from the book. Feel as he takes
- 2:34:02Speaker 2: you by the hand and hugs you, welcoming you into
- 2:34:07Speaker 2: His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's people smilingly and joyful,
- 2:34:15Speaker 2: without any sorrow or pain. You hear the sounds of
- 2:34:19Speaker 2: birds and rushing water, living water that only the Savior
- 2:34:25Speaker 2: can give. You, feel the gentlest breeze on your face,
- 2:34:31Speaker 2: and know that the very presence of God is with you.
- 2:34:37Speaker 2: You've never felt more at peace. This is what eternity is. Finally,
- 2:34:46Speaker 2: you hear the most wonderful words of all the words
- 2:34:52Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. It is done. I am the Alpha
- 2:34:59Speaker 2: and the o Mega, the beginning and the end. I
- 2:35:04Speaker 2: will give of the fountain of the water of life
- 2:35:08Speaker 2: freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit
- 2:35:15Speaker 2: all things. And I will be his God, and he
- 2:35:20Speaker 2: shall be my son. As you rest safely in the
- 2:35:26Speaker 2: arms of the Savior. May the Holy Spirit fill you
- 2:35:31Speaker 2: with his presence and anoint your dreams with thoughts of
- 2:35:35Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem and Eternity with Him who loves you.
- 2:35:41Speaker 2: Let me pray for you now only God matchless in glory.
- 2:35:48Speaker 2: I pray for your beloved tonight as they rest securely
- 2:35:54Speaker 2: in the hope that they have in you. I ask
- 2:35:58Speaker 2: for perfect peace to come over their heart, mind, and
- 2:36:04Speaker 2: soul as they sleep deeply and securely in your arms.
- 2:36:12Speaker 2: Breathe deeply, steadily, calmly, letting all thoughts fade away in
- 2:36:24Speaker 2: Jesus preciously. Welcome to the bedtime story of heaven, A
- 2:36:39Speaker 2: journey through New Jerusalem. The apostle John, also known as
- 2:36:46Speaker 2: the One Jesus Loved, received this vision from Jesus so
- 2:36:51Speaker 2: he could share it with you. It describes your future
- 2:36:56Speaker 2: home in beautiful detail in the last book of the Bible,
- 2:37:01Speaker 2: the Book of Revelation. Now close your eyes, lie down
- 2:37:09Speaker 2: in comfort, and let your body relax. Take some peaceful
- 2:37:15Speaker 2: breaths as we walk together through the gates of the
- 2:37:19Speaker 2: Holy City, the New Jerusalem, in all of its beauty
- 2:37:24Speaker 2: and splendor. Ask for God's presence to fill the room
- 2:37:29Speaker 2: as we begin your bedtime story in prayer, Lord, I
- 2:37:37Speaker 2: ask you to fill this room with your presence. I
- 2:37:42Speaker 2: pray for your total peace and relaxation as I rest
- 2:37:48Speaker 2: securely in the fold of your arms. Fill my dreams
- 2:37:54Speaker 2: with joyful thoughts of you and your holy city. In
- 2:37:59Speaker 2: the holy name of your son Jesus, I pray that
- 2:38:04Speaker 2: all worry and distraction will fade away as I fall
- 2:38:08Speaker 2: asleep tonight, trusting in You, and may you bless us.
- 2:38:14Speaker 2: As we read this prophecy, may you bless all who
- 2:38:20Speaker 2: listen to its message and obey what it says, for
- 2:38:24Speaker 2: the time is near. Now. Imagine that you are John,
- 2:38:32Speaker 2: the beloved disciple of Jesus. You have lived faithfully for
- 2:38:38Speaker 2: the Lord and have witnessed his death and resurrection. It
- 2:38:44Speaker 2: is many years later, and you are alone on the
- 2:38:47Speaker 2: island of Patmos. You are praying in the Holy Spirit.
- 2:38:53Speaker 2: You hear the waves gently coming in and going back out.
- 2:38:59Speaker 2: You smell the fragrance of the sea and the sand,
- 2:39:03Speaker 2: and the sun is warm on your face. As you pray,
- 2:39:09Speaker 2: Jesus sends an angel to you. His face is pure
- 2:39:15Speaker 2: light and warm. He is kind and strong. Watch the
- 2:39:21Speaker 2: angel as he presents you with a special revelation of
- 2:39:26Speaker 2: things that will soon take place. Your heart fills with
- 2:39:32Speaker 2: a deep assurance of God's presence. His plan is perfect,
- 2:39:38Speaker 2: his ways are sure. He has the future in his hands.
- 2:39:46Speaker 2: You are deeply comforted and secure in the Lord. You
- 2:39:52Speaker 2: look into heaven and you see Jesus, the Lamb who
- 2:39:57Speaker 2: was slain, alive and on his throne. You hear the
- 2:40:03Speaker 2: voices of thousands and millions of angels and living beings
- 2:40:09Speaker 2: and elders around Jesus, and they sing in a mighty,
- 2:40:14Speaker 2: sweet chorus. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to
- 2:40:20Speaker 2: receive power and riches and wisdom and strength, and honor
- 2:40:26Speaker 2: and glory and blessing. And you heard every creature in
- 2:40:31Speaker 2: heaven and on earth, and under the earth, and in
- 2:40:35Speaker 2: the sea, they sing, blessing and honor and glory and
- 2:40:41Speaker 2: power belong to the one sitting on the throne, and
- 2:40:45Speaker 2: to Jesus the Lamb. Forever and ever, as your mind
- 2:40:52Speaker 2: tries to make sense of it all, you are comforted
- 2:40:55Speaker 2: by the loving eyes of Jesus, who is with you
- 2:40:59Speaker 2: every step of the way. Know that Jesus is waiting
- 2:41:05Speaker 2: for you in heaven. Let that give you perfect rest.
- 2:41:10Speaker 2: Tonight you see the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming
- 2:41:17Speaker 2: down from heaven, adorned as a bride ready to meet
- 2:41:21Speaker 2: her husband, adorned with jewels pure and clean. You witness
- 2:41:27Speaker 2: this magnificent event in awe and wonder. Then you hear
- 2:41:34Speaker 2: a voice from heaven, saying, behold, the dwelling place of
- 2:41:40Speaker 2: God is with man. He will dwell with them, and
- 2:41:44Speaker 2: they will be his people, and God himself will be
- 2:41:48Speaker 2: with them as their God. He will wipe away every
- 2:41:53Speaker 2: tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more.
- 2:41:58Speaker 2: Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more,
- 2:42:03Speaker 2: for the former things have passed away. These words from
- 2:42:09Speaker 2: the Lord give you deep comfort. You dream of a
- 2:42:13Speaker 2: place where there is no more sorrow or pain. In fact,
- 2:42:19Speaker 2: you picture that place now, a place of peace, of holiness,
- 2:42:26Speaker 2: of joy, and of rest. There is nothing to be
- 2:42:34Speaker 2: afraid of. The words of the Lord are trustworthy and truth.
- 2:42:40Speaker 2: Here the precious promises of the Lord. He is making
- 2:42:46Speaker 2: all things new. He is making all things new. He
- 2:42:52Speaker 2: is making all things new. Everything else else fades away.
- 2:43:01Speaker 2: As you imagine the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending
- 2:43:07Speaker 2: from heaven as a bride, feel yourself being carried by
- 2:43:14Speaker 2: the Angel, carried in the spirit of the Lord. He
- 2:43:19Speaker 2: carries you to a place overlooking the Great City. As
- 2:43:26Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem is descending from heaven. You are amazed
- 2:43:31Speaker 2: by its radiance, for the glory of God surrounds it.
- 2:43:36Speaker 2: You feel it, you sense it with every fiber of
- 2:43:41Speaker 2: your being. The Glory of God is in this place.
- 2:43:49Speaker 2: The light of the New Jerusalem is like a precious stone,
- 2:43:53Speaker 2: clear as crystal. Imagine the reflections, the shimmerings, the glistening
- 2:44:01Speaker 2: of that glorious light. As the Holy City descends before
- 2:44:06Speaker 2: your eyes, you see a high wall with twelve gates
- 2:44:12Speaker 2: and twelve angels guarding those gates, three to the north,
- 2:44:17Speaker 2: three to the south, three to the east, and three
- 2:44:22Speaker 2: to the west. On the gates are the inscriptions of
- 2:44:27Speaker 2: the twelve tribes of Israel. You hear a voice from
- 2:44:33Speaker 2: heaven describing every detail of the Holy City, from the
- 2:44:38Speaker 2: outer wall to the very center. Everything is explained to you.
- 2:44:45Speaker 2: Listen to the voice of the one who speaks to
- 2:44:47Speaker 2: you to night. Hear what the Spirit and the Bride
- 2:44:52Speaker 2: has to say. In perfect peace. You listen to the
- 2:44:58Speaker 2: beautiful descriptions of the New Jerusalem. You are calm, and relaxed.
- 2:45:07Speaker 2: You breathe deeply of the Holy Spirit. You willingly receive
- 2:45:13Speaker 2: what He has to share with you tonight. Gold pure
- 2:45:20Speaker 2: gold are the words that describe the streets of the
- 2:45:24Speaker 2: Holy City. Like clear glass, the golden Street shimmers and
- 2:45:30Speaker 2: shines in beautiful brilliance. Imagine yourself walking on that street
- 2:45:36Speaker 2: of gold. Step by step, you walk in perfect peace,
- 2:45:42Speaker 2: surrounded by the glory of God. As you walk through
- 2:45:50Speaker 2: the city, you see that the foundations of the wall
- 2:45:54Speaker 2: are adorned with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire, and emerald are
- 2:46:00Speaker 2: only a few of the stones mentioned. You touch them,
- 2:46:05Speaker 2: amazed by their beauty. They are smooth and brilliant colors
- 2:46:10Speaker 2: of red, blue, and green, unlike any precious jewels you've
- 2:46:15Speaker 2: ever seen or touched. As you come to one of
- 2:46:19Speaker 2: the gates, you realize that it is made of pearl.
- 2:46:24Speaker 2: You reach out to touch the smooth, white surface. You
- 2:46:29Speaker 2: are amazed to discover that each gate is made of
- 2:46:33Speaker 2: one whole pearl. You've never seen anything so beautiful. As
- 2:46:41Speaker 2: you look around, you do not see a temple in
- 2:46:45Speaker 2: the Holy City of God. There is no need for one,
- 2:46:49Speaker 2: for the Lord, God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
- 2:46:55Speaker 2: You look up and see there is no sun or moon.
- 2:46:59Speaker 2: Yet there is light. There is no need for sun
- 2:47:04Speaker 2: or moon or stars, for the glory of God illuminates
- 2:47:08Speaker 2: the Holy City. Imagine that illumination now, the light of
- 2:47:15Speaker 2: the Lamb Jesus Christ, in all of his brilliance. You
- 2:47:21Speaker 2: are assured that all who are saved will walk in
- 2:47:25Speaker 2: that glorious light in the New Jerusalem. Even kings will
- 2:47:31Speaker 2: bring their glory and honor into the great City, and
- 2:47:36Speaker 2: those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of
- 2:47:39Speaker 2: Life will be there, walking the streets of pure gold.
- 2:47:45Speaker 2: Imagine the Lamb's Book of Life, the page's turning, turning
- 2:47:52Speaker 2: one by one until you see your name appear. Your
- 2:47:59Speaker 2: name is in the Book of Life. Listen as Jesus,
- 2:48:06Speaker 2: your loving Savior, reads your name aloud from the book.
- 2:48:13Speaker 2: Feel as he takes you by the hand and hugs you,
- 2:48:18Speaker 2: welcoming you into His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's
- 2:48:25Speaker 2: people smiling and joyful, without any sorrow or pain. You
- 2:48:31Speaker 2: hear the sounds of birds and rushing water, living water
- 2:48:36Speaker 2: that only the Savior can give. You feel the gentlest
- 2:48:42Speaker 2: breeze on your face, and know that the very presence
- 2:48:47Speaker 2: of God is with you. You've never felt more at peace.
- 2:48:53Speaker 2: This is what eternity is. Finally you hear the most
- 2:49:01Speaker 2: wonderful words of all the words of Jesus Christ. It
- 2:49:08Speaker 2: is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
- 2:49:14Speaker 2: beginning and the end. I will give of the fountain
- 2:49:20Speaker 2: of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.
- 2:49:25Speaker 2: He who overcomes shall inherit all things. And I will
- 2:49:30Speaker 2: be his God, and he shall be my son. As
- 2:49:37Speaker 2: you rest safely in the arms of the Savior, may
- 2:49:42Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit fill you with his presence and anoint
- 2:49:46Speaker 2: your dreams with thoughts of the New Jerusalem and eternity
- 2:49:51Speaker 2: with him who loves you. Let me pray for you now,
- 2:49:57Speaker 2: Holy God, matchless in glory. I pray for your beloved
- 2:50:03Speaker 2: tonight as they rest securely in the hope that they
- 2:50:08Speaker 2: have in you. I ask for perfect peace to come
- 2:50:14Speaker 2: over their heart, mind, and soul as they sleep deeply
- 2:50:21Speaker 2: and securely in your arms. Breathe deeply, steadily, calmly, letting
- 2:50:33Speaker 2: all thoughts fade away in Jesus preciously.
