  Speaker 2: you are John, the beloved disciple of Jesus. You have
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: lived faithfully for the Lord and have witnessed his death
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and resurrection. It is many years later, and you are
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: alone on the island of Patmos. You are praying in
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit. You hear the waves gently coming in
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: and going back out. You smell the fragrance of the
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: sea and the sand, and the sun is warm on
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: your face. As you pray, Jesus sends an angel to you.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: His face is pure, light and warm. He is kind
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and strong. Watch the angel as he presents you with

  Speaker 2: a special revelation of things that will soon take place.

  Speaker 2: His plan is perfect, his ways are sure. He has
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: the future in his hands. You are deeply comforted and

  Speaker 2: secure in the Lord. You look into heaven and you
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: see Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, alive and on
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: his throne. You hear the voices of thousands and millions
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: of angels and living beings and elders around Jesus, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: they sing in a mighty sweet chorus. Worthy is the
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: wisdom and strength, and honor and glory and blessing. And
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: you heard every creature in heaven and on earth, and
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: under the earth, and in the sea, they sing, blessing
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and honor and glory and power belong to the one
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: sitting on the throne, and to Jesus, the Lamb. Forever
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: and ever, as your mind tries to make sense of
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: it all, you are comforted by the loving eyes of Jesus,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: who is with you every step of the way. Know

  Speaker 2: that Jesus is waiting for you in heaven. Let that

  Speaker 2: give you perfect rest. Tonight you see the Holy City,

  Speaker 2: bride ready to meet her husband, adorned with jewels, pure
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: and clean. You witness this magnificent event in awe and wonder.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Then you hear a voice from heaven saying, behold, the
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: with them, and they will be his people, and God
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: himself will be with them as their God. He will
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: be no more. Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: These words from the Lord give you deep comfort. You
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: dream of a place where there is no more sorrow
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: or pain. In fact, you picture that place now, a
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: place of peace, of holiness, of joy, and of rest.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: There is nothing to be afraid of. The words of
• 6:15

  Speaker 2: of the Lord. He is making all things new. He

  Speaker 2: yourself being carried by the Angel, carried in the spirit
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: of the Lord. He carries you to a place overlooking
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the great City. As the New Jerusalem is descending from heaven,

  Speaker 2: you are amazed by its radiance, for the glory of

  Speaker 2: God surrounds it. You feel it, you sense it with
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: every fiber of your being. The Glory of God is
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: in this place. The light of the New Jerusalem is
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: like a precious stone, clear as crystal, Imagine the reflections,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: the shimmerings, the glistening of that glorious light. As the
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Holy City descends before your eyes, you see a high
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding those gates,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: three to the north, three to the south, three to
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: the east, and three to the west. On the gates
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: are the inscriptions of the twelve tribes of Israel. You
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: hear a voice from heaven describing every detail of the
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Holy City, from the outer wall to the very center.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Everything is explained to you. Listen to the voice of

  Speaker 2: You are calm and relaxed. You breathe deeply of the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. You willingly receive what he has to share
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: with you tonight. Gold, pure gold are the words that
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: describe the streets of the Holy City. Like clear glass.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: The golden street shimmers and shines in beautiful brilliants. Imagine
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: yourself walking on that street of gold. Step by step,
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: you walk in perfect peace, surrounded by the glory of God.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: As you walk through the city. You see that the

  Speaker 2: foundations of the wall are adorned with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: and emerald are only a few of the stones mentioned.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: You touch them, amazed by their beauty. They are smooth
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: and brilliant colors of red, blue, and green, unlike any
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: precious jewels you've ever seen or touched. As you come
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: to one of the gates, you realize that it is
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: made of pearl. You reach out to touch the smooth,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: white surface. You are amazed to discover that each gate
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: is made of one whole pearl. You've never seen anything
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: so beautiful. As you look around, you do not see
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: a temple in the Holy City of God. There is
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: no need for one, for the Lord God Almighty and
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: the Lamb are its temple. You look up and see
• 10:36

• 10:41
  Speaker 2: There is no need for sun or moon or stars,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: for the glory of God illuminates the Holy city. Imagine
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: that illumination now, the light of the Lamb Jesus Christ,
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: in all of his brilliance. You are assured that all
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: who are saved will walk in that glorious light in
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem. Even kings will bring their glory and
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: honor into the great City, and those whose names are
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be there,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: walking the streets of pure gold. Imagine the Lamb's Book
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: of Life, the page's turning, turning one by one until
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: you see your name appear. Your name is in the
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Book of Life. Listen as Jesus, your loving Savior, reads
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: your name aloud from the book. Feel as he takes
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: you by the hand and hugs you, welcoming you into
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's people smiling and joyful,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: without any sorrow or pain. You hear the sounds of
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: birds and rushing water, living water that only the Savior
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: can give. You, feel the gentlest breeze on your face,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: and know that the very presence of God is with you.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: You've never felt more at peace. This is what eternity is. Finally,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: you hear the most wonderful words of all the words
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. It is done. I am the Alpha
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: give of the fountain of the water of life, life
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: all things. And I will be his God, and he
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: shall be my son. As you rest safely in the
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: arms of the Savior, May the Holy Spirit fill you
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: with his presence and anoint your dreams with thoughts of
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem and eternity with him who loves you.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Let me pray for you now, Holy God, matchless in glory.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I pray for your beloved tonight as they rest securely
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: in the hope that they have in you. I ask
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: for perfect peace to come over their heart, mind, and soul.

• 57:14
  Speaker 2: The apostle John, also known as the One Jesus Loved,
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: received this vision from Jesus so he could share it
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: with you. It describes your future home in beautiful detail
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: in the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Now close your eyes, lie down in comfort, and let

  Speaker 2: your body relax. Take some peaceful breaths as we walk
• 57:48
  Speaker 2: together through the gates of the Holy City, the New Jerusalem,
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: in all of its beauty and splendor. Ask for God's

  Speaker 2: lived faithfully for the Lord and have witnessed his death
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: and resurrection. It is many years later, and you are

  Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit. You hear the waves gently coming in
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: and going back out. You smell the fragrance of the

  Speaker 2: sea and the sand, and the sun is warm on

  Speaker 2: your face. As you pray, Jesus sends an angel to you.

  Speaker 2: secure in the Lord. You look into heaven and you
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: see Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, alive and on
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 2: his throne. You hear the voices of thousands and millions
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 2: of angels and living beings and elders around Jesus, and
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: they sing in a mighty, sweet chorus. Worthy is the
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: wisdom and strength, and honor and glory and blessings. And
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: you heard every creature in heaven and on earth, and
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: under the earth, and in the sea, they sing blessing
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: and honor and glory and power belong to the one
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: sitting on the throne, and to Jesus the Lamb. Forever

  Speaker 2: it all, you are comforted by the loving eyes of Jesus,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: who is with you every step of the way. Know

  Speaker 2: give you perfect rest. To night, you see the Holy City,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem, coming down from heaven, adorned as a

  Speaker 2: nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: These words from the Lord give you deep comfort. You

  Speaker 2: dream of a place where there is no more sorrow
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: or pain. In fact, you picture that place now, a

  Speaker 2: place of peace, of holiness, of joy, and of rest.

  Speaker 2: Everything else fades away as you imagine the Holy City,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven. As a bride, feel
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: yourself being carried by the Angel, carried in the spirit
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: of the Lord. He carries you to a place overlooking

  Speaker 2: God surrounds it. You feel it, you sense it with
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: every fiber of your being. The Glory of God is
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: in this place. The light of the New Jerusalem is
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: like a precious stone, clear as crystal. Imagine the reflections,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: the shimmerings, the glistening of that glorious light. As the
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Holy City descends before your eyes, you see a high
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding those gates,
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: three to the north, three to the south, three to
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: the east, and three to the west. On the gates
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: are the inscriptions of the twelve tribes of Israel. You
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 2: hear a voice from heaven describing every detail of the
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: Holy City. From the outer wall to the very center,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: everything is explained to you. Listen to the voice of
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: the one who speaks.
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: To you tonight.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: Hear what the Spirit and the Bride has to say.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 2: In perfect peace, you listen to the beautiful descriptions of
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem. You are calm and relaxed. You breathe
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 2: deeply of the Holy Spirit. You willingly receive what he
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: has to share with you tonight. Gold, pure gold are
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 2: the words that describe the streets of the Holy City.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: Like clear glass of the golden stree, shimmers and shines

  Speaker 2: in beautiful brilliants. Imagine yourself walking on that street of gold.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Step by step, you walk in perfect peace, surrounded by
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 2: the glory of God. As you walk through the city,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: you see that the foundations of the wall are adorned
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire, and emerald are only a
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: few of the stones mentioned. You touch them, amazed by
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: their beauty. They are smooth and brilliant colors of red, blue,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: and green, unlike any precious jewels you've ever seen or touched.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: As you come to one of the gates, you realize
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: that it is made of pearl. You reach out to
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: touch the smooth, white surface. You are amazed to discover
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: that each gate is made of one whole pearl. You
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: have never seen anything so beautiful. As you look around,
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: you do not see a temple in the Holy City
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: of God. There is no need for one, for the
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. You
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: look up and see there is no sun or moon,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: yet there is light. There is no need for sun
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: or moon or stars, for the glory of God illuminates
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: the Holy City. Imagine that illumination, now, the light of
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: the Lamb, Jesus Christ, in all of his brilliance. You
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: are assured that all who are saved will walk in
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 2: that glorious light in the New Jerusalem. Even kings will
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: bring their glory and honor into the great City, and
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: Life will be there, walking the streets of pure gold.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: Imagine the Lamb's Book of Life, the page's turning, turning
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 2: one by one until you see your name appear. Your
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: name is in the Book of Life. Listen as Jesus,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: your Loving Savior, reads your name.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: Aloud from the book. Feel as he takes you by.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: The hand and hugs you, welcoming you into His kingdom.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: Looking around you witness God's people smiling and joyful, without
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: any sorrow or pain. You hear the sounds of birds
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 2: and rushing water, living water that only the Savior can give.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 2: You feel the gentlest breeze on your face, and know
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 2: that the very presence of God is with you. You've
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: never felt more at peace. This is what eternity is. Finally,
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: you hear the most wonderful words of all the words
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. It is done. I am the Alpha
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: give of the fountain of the water of life freely
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things.

  Speaker 2: And I will be his God, and he shall be
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: my son. As you rest safely in the arms of

  Speaker 2: the Savior, may the Holy Spirit fill you with his

  Speaker 2: voices of thousands and millions of angels and living beings

  Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem is like a precious stone, clear as crystal.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 2: Imagine the reflections, the shimmerings, the glistening of that glorious light.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: As the Holy City descends before your eyes, you see
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 2: a high wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: those gates, three to the north, three to the south,
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 2: three to the east, and three to the west. On

  Speaker 2: the gates are the inscriptions of the twelve tribes of Israel.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 2: You hear a voice from heaven describing every detail of
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: the Holy City, from the outer wall to the very center.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: Everything is explained to you. Listen to the voice of

  Speaker 2: the one who speaks to you tonight. Hear what the

  Speaker 2: Spirit and the Bride has to say. In perfect peace,

  Speaker 2: with you tonight. Gold, pure gold are the words that
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: describe the streets of the Holy City. Like clear glass.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: The golden Street shimmers and shines in beautiful brilliants. Imagine

  Speaker 2: yourself walking on that street of gold. Step by step,
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 2: you walk in perfect peace, surrounded by the glory of God.
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: As you walk through the city, you see that the
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: foundations of the wall are adorned with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire,
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: and emerald are only a few of the stones mentioned.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 2: You touch them, amazed by their beauty. They are smooth
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: and brilliant colors of red, blue, and green, unlike any
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: precious jewels you've ever seen or touched. As you come
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 2: to one of the gates, you realize that it is

  Speaker 2: made of pearl. You reach out to touch the smooth,
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 2: white surface. You are amazed to discover that each gate
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 2: is made of one whole pearl. You've never seen anything
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 2: so beautiful. As you look around, you do not see
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 2: a temple in the Holy City of God. There is
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 2: no need for one, for the Lord God Almighty and
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: the Lamb are its temple. You look up and see
• 1:21:41

  Speaker 2: There is no need for sun or moon or stars,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 2: for the glory of God illuminates the Holy city. Imagine
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: that illumination now, the light of the Lamb, Jesus Christ,
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: in all of his brilliance. You are assured that all
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 2: who are saved will walk in that glorious light in
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem. Even kings will bring their glory and
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 2: honor into the great city, and those whose names are
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 2: written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be there,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 2: walking the streets of pure gold. Imagine the Lamb's Book
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: of Life, the page's turning, turning one by one until
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 2: you see your name appear. Your name is in the
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 2: Book of Life. Listen as Jesus, your loving Savior, reads
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 2: your name aloud from the book. Feel as he takes
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: you by the hand and hugs you, welcoming you into
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's people smiling and joyful,
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: without any sorrow or pain. You hear the sounds of
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 2: birds and rushing water, living water that only the Savior
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 2: can give. You feel the gentlest breeze on your face,
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 2: and know that the very presence of God is with you.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 2: You've never felt more at peace. This is what eternity is. Finally,
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 2: you hear the most wonderful words of all the words
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. It is done. I am the Alpha
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: give of the fountain of the water of life freely
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 2: and I will be his God, and he shall be
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: my son. As you rest safely in the arms of
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: the Savior, may the Holy Spirit fill you with his
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: presence and anoint your dreams with thoughts of the New
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 2: Jerusalem and Eternity with Him who loves you. Let me
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 2: pray for you now, Holy God, atchless in glory. I
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 2: pray for your beloved tonight as they rest securely in
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 2: the hope that they have in you. I ask for
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 2: perfect peace to come over their heart, mind, and soul
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: as they sleep deeply and securely in your arms. Breathe deeply, steadily, calmly,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: letting all thoughts fade away. In Jesus Precious An.
