- 0:17Speaker 2: New Jerusalem. The Apostle John, also known as the One
- 0:25Speaker 2: Jesus Loved, received this vision from Jesus so he could
- 0:29Speaker 2: share it with you. It describes your future home in
- 0:35Speaker 2: beautiful detail in the last book of the Bible, the
- 0:39Speaker 2: Book of Revelation. Now close your eyes, lie down in comfort,
- 0:48Speaker 2: and let your body relax. Take some peaceful breaths as
- 0:54Speaker 2: we walked together through the gates of the Holy City,
- 0:58Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem, in all of its beauty and splendor.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Ask for God's presence to fill the room as we
- 1:08Speaker 2: begin your bedtime story. In prayer, Lord, I ask you
- 1:16Speaker 2: to fill this room with your presence. I pray for
- 1:21Speaker 2: your total peace and relaxation as I rest securely in
- 1:27Speaker 2: the fold of your arms. Fill my dreams with joyful
- 1:33Speaker 2: thoughts of You and your Holy City. In the holy
- 1:38Speaker 2: name of your son Jesus, I pray that all worry
- 1:43Speaker 2: and distraction will fade away as I fall asleep. Tonight,
- 1:48Speaker 2: trusting in you, and may you bless us as we
- 1:53Speaker 2: read this prophecy, May you bless all who listen to
- 1:58Speaker 2: its message and oby what it says, for the time
- 2:02Speaker 2: is near. Now. Imagine that you are John, the beloved
- 2:10Speaker 2: disciple of Jesus. You have lived faithfully for the Lord
- 2:17Speaker 2: and have witnessed his death and resurrection. It is many
- 2:22Speaker 2: years later, and you are alone on the island of Patmos.
- 2:27Speaker 2: You are praying in the Holy Spirit. You hear the
- 2:31Speaker 2: waves gently coming in and going back out. You smell
- 2:37Speaker 2: the fragrance of the sea and the sand, and the
- 2:41Speaker 2: sun is warm on your face. As you pray, Jesus
- 2:48Speaker 2: sends an angel to you. His face is pure, light
- 2:53Speaker 2: and warm. He is kind and strong. Watch the angel
- 3:00Speaker 2: as he presents you with a special revelation of things
- 3:04Speaker 2: that will soon take place. Your heart fills with a
- 3:10Speaker 2: deep assurance of God's presence. His plan is perfect, his
- 3:16Speaker 2: ways are sure. He has the future in his hands.
- 3:24Speaker 2: You are deeply comforted and secure in the Lord. You
- 3:30Speaker 2: look into heaven and you see Jesus, the Lamb who
- 3:35Speaker 2: was slain, alive and on his throne. You hear the
- 3:41Speaker 2: voices of thousands and millions of angels and living beings
- 3:47Speaker 2: and elders around Jesus, and they sing in a mighty
- 3:52Speaker 2: sweet chorus. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to
- 3:58Speaker 2: receive power and rich and wisdom and strength, and honor
- 4:04Speaker 2: and glory and blessing. And you heard every creature in
- 4:09Speaker 2: heaven and on earth, and under the earth, and in
- 4:13Speaker 2: the sea, they sing, blessing and honor and glory and
- 4:19Speaker 2: power belong to the one sitting on the throne, and
- 4:23Speaker 2: to Jesus, the Lamb. Forever and ever, as your mind
- 4:30Speaker 2: tries to make sense of it all, you are comforted
- 4:33Speaker 2: by the loving eyes of Jesus, who is with you
- 4:37Speaker 2: every step of the way. Know that Jesus is waiting
- 4:43Speaker 2: for you in heaven. Let that give you perfect rest.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Tonight you see the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming
- 4:54Speaker 2: down from heaven, adorned as a bride ready to meet
- 4:59Speaker 2: her husband, adorned with jewels, pure and clean. You witness
- 5:05Speaker 2: this magnificent event in awe and wonder. Then you hear
- 5:12Speaker 2: a voice from heaven saying, behold, the dwelling place of
- 5:18Speaker 2: God is with man. He will dwell with them, and
- 5:22Speaker 2: they will be his people, and God himself will be
- 5:26Speaker 2: with them as their God. He will wipe away every
- 5:31Speaker 2: tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more,
- 5:41Speaker 2: for the former things have passed away. These words from
- 5:47Speaker 2: the Lord give you deep comfort. You dream of a
- 5:51Speaker 2: place where there is no more sorrow or pain. In fact,
- 5:56Speaker 2: you picture that place now of peace, of holiness, of joy,
- 6:05Speaker 2: and of rest. There is nothing to be afraid of.
- 6:13Speaker 2: The words of the Lord are trustworthy and true. Hear
- 6:18Speaker 2: the precious promises of the Lord. He is making all
- 6:24Speaker 2: things new. He is making all things new. He is
- 6:30Speaker 2: making all things new. Everything else fades away as you
- 6:40Speaker 2: imagine the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven.
- 6:45Speaker 2: As a bride, feel yourself being carried by the Angel,
- 6:53Speaker 2: carried in the spirit of the Lord. He carries you
- 6:58Speaker 2: to a place over life. Looking the Great City as
- 7:04Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem is descending from heaven, you are amazed
- 7:09Speaker 2: by its radiance, for the glory of God surrounds it.
- 7:13Speaker 2: You feel it, you sense it with every fiber of
- 7:19Speaker 2: your being. The Glory of God is in this place.
- 7:27Speaker 2: The light of the New Jerusalem is like a precious stone,
- 7:31Speaker 2: clear as crystal, Imagine the reflections, the shimmerings, the glistening
- 7:39Speaker 2: of that glorious light. As the Holy City descends before
- 7:44Speaker 2: your eyes, you see a high wall with twelve gates
- 7:50Speaker 2: and twelve angels guarding those gates, three to the north,
- 7:55Speaker 2: three to the south, three to the east, and three
- 8:00Speaker 2: to the west. On the gates are the inscriptions of
- 8:04Speaker 2: the twelve tribes of Israel. You hear a voice from
- 8:11Speaker 2: heaven describing every detail of the Holy City, from the
- 8:16Speaker 2: outer wall to the very center. Everything is explained to you.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Listen to the voice of the one who speaks to
- 8:25Speaker 2: you tonight. Hear what the Spirit and the Bride has
- 8:30Speaker 2: to say. In perfect peace, you listen to the beautiful
- 8:36Speaker 2: descriptions of the New Jerusalem. You are calm and relaxed.
- 8:45Speaker 2: You breathe deeply of the Holy Spirit. You willingly receive
- 8:51Speaker 2: what he has to share with you tonight. Gold, pure
- 8:57Speaker 2: gold are the words that describe the streets of the
- 9:01Speaker 2: Holy City. Like clear glass. The golden street shimmers and
- 9:08Speaker 2: shines in beautiful brilliants. Imagine yourself walking on that street
- 9:14Speaker 2: of gold. Step by step, you walk in perfect peace,
- 9:20Speaker 2: surrounded by the glory of God. As you walk through
- 9:28Speaker 2: the city. You see that the foundations of the wall
- 9:31Speaker 2: are adorned with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire, and emerald are
- 9:38Speaker 2: only a few of the stones mentioned. You touch them,
- 9:42Speaker 2: amazed by their beauty. They are smooth and brilliant colors
- 9:48Speaker 2: of red, blue, and green, unlike any precious jewels you've
- 9:53Speaker 2: ever seen or touched. As you come to one of
- 9:57Speaker 2: the gates, you realize that it is made of pearl.
- 10:02Speaker 2: You reach out to touch the smooth, white surface. You
- 10:07Speaker 2: are amazed to discover that each gate is made of
- 10:11Speaker 2: one hole pearl. You've never seen anything so beautiful. As
- 10:19Speaker 2: you look around, you do not see a temple in
- 10:22Speaker 2: the Holy City of God. There is no need for one,
- 10:27Speaker 2: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
- 10:33Speaker 2: You look up and see there is no sun or moon,
- 10:37Speaker 2: yet there is light. There is no need for sun
- 10:41Speaker 2: or moon or stars, for the glory of God illuminates
- 10:46Speaker 2: the Holy city. Imagine that illumination now, the light of
- 10:52Speaker 2: the Lamb, Jesus Christ, in all of his brilliance. You
- 10:59Speaker 2: are a sh that all who are saved will walk
- 11:03Speaker 2: in that glorious light in the New Jerusalem. Even kings
- 11:09Speaker 2: will bring their glory and honor into the great City,
- 11:13Speaker 2: and those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book
- 11:17Speaker 2: of Life will be there, walking the streets of pure gold.
- 11:23Speaker 2: Imagine the Lamb's Book of Life, the page's turning, turning
- 11:30Speaker 2: one by one until you see your name appear. Your
- 11:37Speaker 2: name is in the Book of Life. Listen as Jesus,
- 11:44Speaker 2: your loving Savior, reads your name aloud from the book.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Feel as he takes you by the hand and hugs you,
- 11:56Speaker 2: welcoming you into His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's
- 12:03Speaker 2: people smiling and joyful, without any sorrow or pain. You
- 12:09Speaker 2: hear the sounds of birds and rushing water, living water
- 12:14Speaker 2: that only the Savior can give. You, feel the gentlest
- 12:20Speaker 2: breeze on your face, and know that the very presence
- 12:25Speaker 2: of God is with you. You've never felt more at peace.
- 12:31Speaker 2: This is what eternity is. Finally, you hear the most
- 12:39Speaker 2: wonderful words of all the words of Jesus Christ. It
- 12:46Speaker 2: is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
- 12:52Speaker 2: beginning and the end. I will give of the fountain
- 12:57Speaker 2: of the water of life free to him who thirsts.
- 13:03Speaker 2: He who overcomes shall inherit all things. And I will
- 13:08Speaker 2: be his God, and he shall be my son. As
- 13:15Speaker 2: you rest safely in the arms of the Savior. May
- 13:20Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit fill you with his presence and anoint
- 13:24Speaker 2: your dreams with thoughts of the New Jerusalem and eternity
- 13:28Speaker 2: with him who loves you. Let me pray for you now,

- 13:41Speaker 2: tonight as they rest securely in the hope that they
- 13:46Speaker 2: have in you. I ask for perfect peace to come
- 13:52Speaker 2: over their heart, mind, and soul as they sleep deeply
- 13:59Speaker 2: and securely in your arms. Breathe deeply, steadily, calmly, letting

- 33:43Speaker 2: God is with man. He will dwell with them, and
- 33:47Speaker 2: they will be his people, and God himself will be
- 33:51Speaker 2: with them as their God. He will wipe away every
- 33:56Speaker 2: tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more.
- 34:01Speaker 2: Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more,
- 34:06Speaker 2: for the former things have passed away. These words from

- 34:49Speaker 2: all things new. He is making all things new. He
- 34:55Speaker 2: is making all things new. Everything else fades away as
- 35:05Speaker 2: you imagine the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven.
- 35:11Speaker 2: As a bride, feel yourself being carried by the Angel,
- 35:18Speaker 2: carried in the spirit of the Lord. He carries you
- 35:23Speaker 2: to a place overlooking the great City. As the New
- 35:29Speaker 2: Jerusalem is descending from heaven, you are amazed by its radiance,
- 35:35Speaker 2: for the glory of God surrounds it. You feel it,
- 35:40Speaker 2: you sense it with every fiber of your being. The
- 35:46Speaker 2: Glory of God is in this place. The light of
- 35:53Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem is like a precious stone, clear as crystal.
- 35:59Speaker 2: Imagine the reflections, the shimmerings, the glistening of that glorious light.
- 36:06Speaker 2: As the Holy City descends before your eyes, you see
- 36:12Speaker 2: a high wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding
- 36:17Speaker 2: those gates. Three to the north, three to the south,
- 36:22Speaker 2: three to the east, and three to the west. On
- 36:27Speaker 2: the gates are the inscriptions of the twelve tribes of Israel.
- 36:34Speaker 2: You hear a voice from heaven describing every detail of
- 36:39Speaker 2: the Holy City, from the outer wall to the very center.

- 38:11Speaker 2: and brilliant colors of red, blue, and green, unlike any
- 38:17Speaker 2: precious jewels you've ever seen or touched. As you come
- 38:22Speaker 2: to one of the gates, you realize that it is
- 38:25Speaker 2: made of pearl. You reach out to touch the smooth,
- 38:30Speaker 2: white surface. You are amazed to discover that each gate
- 38:35Speaker 2: is made of one whole pearl. You've never seen anything
- 38:41Speaker 2: so beautiful. As you look around, you do not see
- 38:46Speaker 2: a temple in the Holy City of God. There is
- 38:50Speaker 2: no need for one, for the Lord God Almighty and
- 38:54Speaker 2: the Lamb are its temple. You look up and see
- 39:00Speaker 2: there is no sun or moon, yet there is light.

- 39:20Speaker 2: in all of his brilliance. You are assured that all
- 39:26Speaker 2: who are saved will walk in that glorious light in
- 39:31Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem. Even kings will bring their glory and
- 39:35Speaker 2: honor into the great city, and those whose names are
- 39:40Speaker 2: written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be there,
- 39:44Speaker 2: walking the streets of pure gold. Imagine the Lamb's Book
- 39:50Speaker 2: of Life. The page's turning, turning one by one until
- 39:58Speaker 2: you see your name appear. Your name is in the
- 40:04Speaker 2: Book of Life. Listen as Jesus, your loving Savior, reads
- 40:12Speaker 2: your name aloud from the book. Feel as he takes
- 40:18Speaker 2: you by the hand and hugs you, welcoming you into
- 40:23Speaker 2: His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's people smiling and joyful,
- 40:31Speaker 2: without any sorrow or pain. You hear the sounds of

- 40:41Speaker 2: can give. You, feel the gentlest breeze on your face,
- 40:47Speaker 2: and know that the very presence of God is with you.

- 46:54Speaker 2: blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the
- 47:00Speaker 2: one sitting on the throne, and to Jesus, the Lamb.

- 1:03:02Speaker 2: There is nothing to be afraid of. The words of
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: the Lord are trustworthy and true. Hear the precious promises
- 1:03:12Speaker 2: of the Lord. He is making all things new. He
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: is making all things new. He is making all things new.
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: Everything else fades away. As you imagine the Holy City,
- 1:03:34Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven as a bride, feel
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: yourself being carried by the Angel, carried in the spirit
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: of the Lord. He carries you to a place overlooking
- 1:03:52Speaker 2: the great City. As the New Jerusalem is descending from heaven,
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: you are amazed by its radiance, for the glory of
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: God surrounds it. You feel it, you sense it with
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: every fiber of your being. The Glory of God is
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: in this place. The light of the New Jerusalem is
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: like a precious stone, clear as crystal. Imagine the reflections,
- 1:04:28Speaker 2: the shimmerings, the glistening of that glorious light. As the
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: Holy City descends before your eyes, you see a high
- 1:04:40Speaker 2: wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding those gates,
- 1:04:45Speaker 2: three to the north, three to the south, three to
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: the east, and three to the west. On the gates
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: are the inscriptions of the twelve tribes of Israel. You
- 1:05:01Speaker 2: hear a voice from heaven describing every detail of the
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: Holy City. From the outer wall to the very center.
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: Everything is explained to you. Listen to the voice of
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: the one who speaks to you tonight. Hear what the
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: Spirit and the Bride has to say. In perfect peace,
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: you listen to the beautiful descriptions of the new Jerusalem.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: You are calm and relaxed. You breathe deeply of the
- 1:05:39Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. You willingly receive what he has to share
- 1:05:44Speaker 2: with you tonight. Gold, pure gold are the words that
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: describe the streets of the Holy City. Like clear glass,
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: the golden street shimmers and shines in beautiful brilliants. Imagine
- 1:06:04Speaker 2: yourself walking on that street of gold. Step by step,
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: you walk in perfect peace, surrounded by the glory of God.
- 1:06:18Speaker 2: As you walk through the city, you see that the
- 1:06:22Speaker 2: foundations of the wall are adorned with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire,
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: and emerald are only a few of the stones mentioned.
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: You touch them, amazed by their beauty. They are smooth
- 1:06:38Speaker 2: and brilliant colors of red, blue, and green, unlike any
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: precious jewels you've ever seen or touched. As you come
- 1:06:49Speaker 2: to one of the gates, you realize that it is
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: made of pearl. You reach out to touch the smooth,
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: white surface. You are amazed to discover that each gate
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: is made of one whole pearl. You have never seen
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: anything so beautiful. As you look around, you do not
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: see a temple in the Holy City of God. There
- 1:07:17Speaker 2: is no need for one, for the Lord God Almighty
- 1:07:21Speaker 2: and the Lamb are its temple. You look up and
- 1:07:26Speaker 2: see there is no sun or moon, yet there is light.
- 1:07:31Speaker 2: There is no need for sun or moon or stars,
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: for the glory of God illuminates the Holy City. Imagine
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: that illumination now, the light of the Lamb, Jesus Christ,
- 1:07:47Speaker 2: in all of his brilliance. You are assured that all
- 1:07:53Speaker 2: who are saved will walk in that glorious light in
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem. Even kings will bring their glory and
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: honor into the great City, and those whose names are
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be there,
- 1:08:11Speaker 2: walking the streets of pure gold. Imagine the Lamb's Book
- 1:08:17Speaker 2: of Life, the page's turning, turning one by one until
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: you see your name appear. Your name is in the
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: Book of Life. Listen as Jesus, your Loving Savior, reads
- 1:08:39Speaker 2: your name aloud from the book. Feel as he takes
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: you by the hand and hugs you welcoming you into
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's people smiling and joyful,
- 1:08:58Speaker 2: without any sorrow or pain. You hear the sounds of
- 1:09:02Speaker 2: birds and rushing water, living water that only the Savior
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: can give. You feel the gentlest breeze on your face,
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: and know that the very presence of God is with you.
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: You've never felt more at peace. This is what eternity is. Finally,
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: you hear the most wonderful words of all the words
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. It is done. I am the Alpha
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will
- 1:09:48Speaker 2: give of the fountain of the water of life freely
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things,
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: and I I will be his God, and he shall
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: be my son. As you rest safely in the arms
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: of the Savior, may the Holy Spirit fill you with
- 1:10:14Speaker 2: his presence and anoint your dreams with thoughts of the
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: New Jerusalem and eternity with him who loves you. Let
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: me pray for you now, Holy God, matchless in glory.
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: I pray for your beloved tonight as they rest securely
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: in the hope that they have in you. I ask
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: for perfect peace to come over their heart, mind, and
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: soul as they sleep deeply and securely in your arms.
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: Breathe deeply, steadily, calmly, letting all thoughts fade away in
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: Jesus' precious name. Welcome to the bedtime story of Heaven,
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: a journey through New Jerusalem. The apostle John, also known
- 1:11:29Speaker 2: as the One Jesus Loved, received this vision from Jesus
- 1:11:34Speaker 2: so he could share it with you. It describes your
- 1:11:38Speaker 2: future home in beautiful detail in the last book of
- 1:11:43Speaker 2: the Bible, the Book of Revelation. Now close your eyes,
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: lie down in comfort, and let your body relax. Take
- 1:11:57Speaker 2: some peaceful breaths as we walk together through the gates
- 1:12:01Speaker 2: of the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, in all of
- 1:12:06Speaker 2: its beauty and splendor. Ask for God's presence to fill
- 1:12:11Speaker 2: the room as we begin your bedtime story. In prayer, Lord,
- 1:12:20Speaker 2: I ask you to fill this room with your presence.
- 1:12:25Speaker 2: I pray for your total peace and relaxation as I
- 1:12:30Speaker 2: rest securely in the fold of your arms. Fill my
- 1:12:36Speaker 2: dreams with joyful thoughts of You and your holy City.
- 1:12:42Speaker 2: In the holy name of your Son Jesus, I pray
- 1:12:46Speaker 2: that all worry and distraction will fade away as I
- 1:12:51Speaker 2: fall asleep tonight, trusting in you, and may you bless us.
- 1:12:57Speaker 2: As we read this prophecy, May you bless all who
- 1:13:03Speaker 2: listen to its message and obey what it says, for
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: the time is near. Now. Imagine that you are John,
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: the beloved disciple of Jesus. You have lived faithfully for
- 1:13:21Speaker 2: the Lord and have witnessed his death and resurrection. It
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: is many years later, and you are alone on the
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: island of Patmos. You are praying in the Holy Spirit.
- 1:13:36Speaker 2: You hear the waves gently coming in and going back out.
- 1:13:42Speaker 2: You smell the fragrance of the sea and the sand,
- 1:13:46Speaker 2: and the sun is warm on your face. As you pray,
- 1:13:52Speaker 2: Jesus sends an angel to you. His face is pure,
- 1:13:58Speaker 2: light and warm. He is kind and strong. Watch the
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: angel as he presents you with a special revelation of
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: things that will soon take place. Your heart fills with
- 1:14:15Speaker 2: a deep assurance of God's presence. His plan is perfect,
- 1:14:21Speaker 2: his ways are sure. He has the future in his hands.
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: You are deeply comforted and secure in the Lord. You
- 1:14:35Speaker 2: look into heaven and you see Jesus, the Lamb who
- 1:14:40Speaker 2: was slain, alive and on his throne. You hear the
- 1:14:46Speaker 2: voices of thousands and millions of angels and living beings
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: and elders around Jesus, and they sing in a mighty
- 1:14:57Speaker 2: sweet chorus. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: receive power and riches and wisdom and strength, and honor
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: and glory and blessing. And you heard every creature in
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: heaven and on earth, and under the earth, and in
- 1:15:18Speaker 2: the sea, they sing, blessing and honor and glory and
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: power belong to the one sitting on the throne, and
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: to Jesus, the Lamb. Forever and ever. As your mind
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: tries to make sense of it all, you are comforted
- 1:15:38Speaker 2: by the loving eyes of Jesus, who is with you
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: every step of the way. Know that Jesus is waiting
- 1:15:48Speaker 2: for you in heaven. Let that give you perfect rest.
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: Tonight you see the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: down from Heaven, adorned as a bride ready to meet
- 1:16:04Speaker 2: her husband, adorned with jewels, pure and clean. You witness
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: this magnificent event in awe and wonder. Then you hear
- 1:16:17Speaker 2: a voice from heaven saying, behold, the dwelling place of
- 1:16:23Speaker 2: God is with man. He will dwell with them, and
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: they will be His people and God himself will be
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: with them as their God. He will wipe away every
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more.
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more,
- 1:16:46Speaker 2: for the former things have passed away. These words from
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: the Lord give you deep comfort. You dream of a
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: place where there is no more sorrow or pain. In fact,
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: you picture that place now, a place of peace, of holiness,
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: of joy, and of rest. There is nothing to be
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: afraid of. The words of the Lord are trustworthy and true.
- 1:17:23Speaker 2: Hear the precious promises of the Lord. He is making
- 1:17:29Speaker 2: all things new. He is making all things new. He
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: is making all things new. Everything else fades away as
- 1:17:45Speaker 2: you imagine the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven.
- 1:17:51Speaker 2: As a bride, feel yourself being carried by the Angel,
- 1:17:58Speaker 2: carried in the sphere of the Lord. He carries you
- 1:18:03Speaker 2: to a place overlooking the great City. As the New
- 1:18:09Speaker 2: Jerusalem is descending from heaven, you are amazed by its radiance,
- 1:18:15Speaker 2: for the glory of God surrounds it. You feel it,
- 1:18:20Speaker 2: you sense it with every fiber of your being. The
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: Glory of God is in this place. The light of
- 1:18:33Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem is like a precious stone, clear as crystal.
- 1:18:39Speaker 2: Imagine the reflections, the shimmerings, the glistening of that glorious light.
- 1:18:46Speaker 2: As the Holy City descends before your eyes, you see
- 1:18:52Speaker 2: a high wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding
- 1:18:57Speaker 2: those gates, three to the north, three to the south,

- 1:34:09Speaker 2: three to the north, three to the south, three to
- 1:34:14Speaker 2: the east, and three to the west. On the gates

- 2:08:36Speaker 2: no sun or moon, yet there is light. There is
- 2:08:42Speaker 2: no need for sun or moon or stars. For the
- 2:08:46Speaker 2: glory of God illuminates the Holy City. Imagine that illumination

- 2:13:08Speaker 2: received this vision from Jesus so he could share it
- 2:13:12Speaker 2: with you. It describes your future home in beautiful detail
- 2:13:19Speaker 2: in the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation.
- 2:13:26Speaker 2: Now close your eyes, lie down in comfort, and let
- 2:13:32Speaker 2: your body relax. Take some peaceful breaths as we walked
- 2:13:39Speaker 2: together through the gates of the Holy City, the New Jerusalem,
- 2:13:45Speaker 2: in all of its beauty and splendor. Ask for God's
- 2:13:51Speaker 2: presence to fill the room as we begin your bedtime story.

- 2:14:47Speaker 2: you bless all who listen to its message and obey
- 2:14:51Speaker 2: what it says, for the time is near now. In
- 2:15:00Speaker 2: imagine that you are John, the beloved disciple of Jesus.
- 2:15:07Speaker 2: You have lived faithfully for the Lord and have witnessed
- 2:15:11Speaker 2: his death and resurrection. It is many years later, and
- 2:15:18Speaker 2: you are alone on the island of Patmos. You are
- 2:15:22Speaker 2: praying in the Holy Spirit. You hear the waves gently
- 2:15:28Speaker 2: coming in and going back out. You smell the fragrance
- 2:15:34Speaker 2: of the sea and the sand, and the sun is
- 2:15:38Speaker 2: warm on your face. As you pray, Jesus sends an
- 2:15:45Speaker 2: angel to you. His face is pure light and warm.
- 2:15:52Speaker 2: He is kind and strong. Watch the angel as he
- 2:15:58Speaker 2: presents you with a special revelation of things that will
- 2:16:03Speaker 2: soon take place. Your heart fills with a deep assurance
- 2:16:10Speaker 2: of God's presence. His plan is perfect, his ways are sure.
- 2:16:19Speaker 2: He has the future in his hands. You are deeply
- 2:16:26Speaker 2: comforted and secure in the Lord. You look into heaven
- 2:16:33Speaker 2: and you see Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, alive
- 2:16:39Speaker 2: and on his throne. You hear the voices of thousands
- 2:16:46Speaker 2: and millions of angels and living beings and elders around Jesus,
- 2:16:53Speaker 2: and they sing in a mighty, sweet chorus. Worthy is
- 2:17:00Speaker 2: the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches
- 2:17:05Speaker 2: and wisdom and strength, and honor and glory and blessing.
- 2:17:12Speaker 2: And you heard every creature in heaven and on earth,
- 2:17:16Speaker 2: and under the earth, and in the sea, they sing
- 2:17:21Speaker 2: blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the
- 2:17:27Speaker 2: one sitting on the throne and to Jesus the Lamb.
- 2:17:32Speaker 2: Forever and ever, as your mind tries to make sense
- 2:17:39Speaker 2: of it all, you are comforted by the loving eyes

- 2:18:14Speaker 2: and clean. You witness this magnificent event in awe and wonder.
- 2:18:23Speaker 2: Then you hear a voice from heaven saying, behold, the
- 2:18:29Speaker 2: dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell
- 2:18:34Speaker 2: with them, and they will be his people, and God
- 2:18:38Speaker 2: himself will be with them as their God. He will
- 2:18:43Speaker 2: wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall
- 2:18:48Speaker 2: be no more. Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying,
- 2:18:54Speaker 2: nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away.
- 2:19:02Speaker 2: These words from the Lord give you deep comfort. You
- 2:19:06Speaker 2: dream of a place where there is no more sorrow
- 2:19:10Speaker 2: or pain. In fact, you picture that place now, a
- 2:19:17Speaker 2: place of peace, of holiness, of joy, and of rest.
- 2:19:28Speaker 2: There is nothing to be afraid of the words of

- 2:37:36Speaker 2: Everything is explained to you. Listen to the voice of
- 2:37:41Speaker 2: the one who speaks to you tonight. Hear what the
- 2:37:46Speaker 2: Spirit and the Bride has to say. In perfect peace.
- 2:37:53Speaker 2: You listen to the beautiful descriptions of the New Jerusalem,
- 2:38:00Speaker 2: are calm and relaxed. You breathe deeply of the Holy Spirit.
- 2:38:09Speaker 2: You willingly receive what he has to share with you tonight. Gold,
- 2:38:17Speaker 2: pure gold are the words that describe the streets of
- 2:38:23Speaker 2: the Holy City. Like clear glass. The golden Street shimmers
- 2:38:30Speaker 2: and shines in beautiful brilliance. Imagine yourself walking on that
- 2:38:36Speaker 2: street of gold. Step by step, you walk in perfect peace,
- 2:38:43Speaker 2: surrounded by the glory of God. As you walk through
- 2:38:52Speaker 2: the city, you see that the foundations of the wall
- 2:38:56Speaker 2: are adorned with many jewels. Sapphire and emerald are only
- 2:39:03Speaker 2: a few of the stones mentioned. You touch them, amazed
- 2:39:09Speaker 2: by their beauty. They are smooth and brilliant colors of red, blue,
- 2:39:16Speaker 2: and green, unlike any precious jewels you've ever seen or touched.
- 2:39:23Speaker 2: As you come to one of the gates, you realize
- 2:39:27Speaker 2: that it is made of pearl. You reach out to
- 2:39:31Speaker 2: touch the smooth, white surface. You are amazed to discover
- 2:39:38Speaker 2: that each gate is made of one whole pearl. You've
- 2:39:43Speaker 2: never seen anything so beautiful. As you look around, you
- 2:39:51Speaker 2: do not see a temple in the Holy City of God.
- 2:39:55Speaker 2: There is no need for one, for the Lord God
- 2:39:59Speaker 2: Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. You look up
- 2:40:05Speaker 2: and see there is no sun or moon, yet there
- 2:40:10Speaker 2: is light. There is no need for sun or moon
- 2:40:15Speaker 2: or stars, for the glory of God illuminates the Holy city.
- 2:40:21Speaker 2: Imagine that illumination now, the light of the Lamb, Jesus Christ,
- 2:40:29Speaker 2: in all of his brilliance. You are assured that all
- 2:40:35Speaker 2: who are saved will walk in that glorious light in
- 2:40:40Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem. Even kings will bring their glory and
- 2:40:46Speaker 2: honor into the great city, and those whose names are
- 2:40:51Speaker 2: written in the Lamb's Book of Life will be there,
- 2:40:55Speaker 2: walking the streets of pure gold. Imagine the Lamb's Book
- 2:41:02Speaker 2: of Life, the page's turning, turning one by one until
- 2:41:11Speaker 2: you see your name appear. Your name is in the
- 2:41:17Speaker 2: Book of Life. Listen as Jesus, your loving Savior, reads
- 2:41:27Speaker 2: your name aloud from the book. Feel as he takes
- 2:41:32Speaker 2: you by the hand and hugs you, welcoming you into
- 2:41:38Speaker 2: His kingdom. Looking around you witness God's people smiling and joyful,
- 2:41:47Speaker 2: without any sorrow or pain. You hear the sounds of
- 2:41:52Speaker 2: birds and rushing water, living water that only the Savior
- 2:41:58Speaker 2: can give. You feel the gentlest breeze on your face,
- 2:42:05Speaker 2: and know that the very presence of God is with you.
- 2:42:11Speaker 2: You've never felt more at peace. This is what eternity is. Finally,
- 2:42:22Speaker 2: you hear the most wonderful words of all the words
- 2:42:28Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ. It is done. I am the Alpha
- 2:42:36Speaker 2: and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will
- 2:42:42Speaker 2: give of the fountain of the water of life freely
- 2:42:47Speaker 2: to him who thirsts he who overcomes shall inherit all things,
- 2:42:55Speaker 2: and I will be his God, and he shall be
- 2:43:00Speaker 2: my son. As you rest safely in the arms of
- 2:43:07Speaker 2: the Savior, may the Holy Spirit fill you with his
- 2:43:12Speaker 2: presence and anoint your dreams with thoughts of the New
- 2:43:16Speaker 2: Jerusalem and eternity with him who loves you. Let me
- 2:43:23Speaker 2: pray for you now, Holy God, matchless in glory. I
- 2:43:31Speaker 2: pray for your beloved tonight, as they rest securely in
- 2:43:37Speaker 2: the hope that they have in you. I ask for
- 2:43:42Speaker 2: perfect peace to come over their heart, mind, and soul
- 2:43:49Speaker 2: as they sleep deeply and securely in your arms. Breathe deeply, steadily, calmly,
- 2:44:05Speaker 2: letting all thoughts fade away in Jesus' precious name. Welcome
- 2:44:23Speaker 2: to the bedtime story of Heaven, A journey through New Jerusalem.
- 2:44:31Speaker 2: The apostle John, also known as the One Jesus Loved,
- 2:44:37Speaker 2: received this vision from Jesus so he could share it
- 2:44:42Speaker 2: with you. It describes your future home in beautiful detail
- 2:44:48Speaker 2: in the last book of the Bible, the Book of Revelation.
- 2:44:55Speaker 2: Now close your eyes, lie down in in comfort, and
- 2:45:01Speaker 2: let your body relax. Take some peaceful breaths as we
- 2:45:08Speaker 2: walk together through the gates of the Holy City, the
- 2:45:12Speaker 2: New Jerusalem, in all of its beauty and splendor. Ask
- 2:45:20Speaker 2: for God's presence to fill the room as we begin
- 2:45:24Speaker 2: your bedtime story in prayer. Lord, I ask you to
- 2:45:33Speaker 2: fill this room with your presence. I pray for your
- 2:45:38Speaker 2: total peace and relaxation as I rest securely in the
- 2:45:44Speaker 2: fold of your arms. Fill my dreams with joyful thoughts
- 2:45:52Speaker 2: of You and your Holy City. In the holy name
- 2:45:57Speaker 2: of your Son Jesus, I pray that all worry and
- 2:46:02Speaker 2: distraction will fade away as I fall asleep tonight, trusting
- 2:46:08Speaker 2: in You, and may you bless us. As we read
- 2:46:13Speaker 2: this prophecy, May you bless all who listen to its
- 2:46:19Speaker 2: message and obey what it says, for the time is near. Now.
- 2:46:29Speaker 2: Imagine that you are John, the beloved disciple of Jesus.
- 2:46:36Speaker 2: You have lived faithfully for the Lord and have witnessed
- 2:46:41Speaker 2: his death and resurrection. It is many years later, and
- 2:46:47Speaker 2: you are alone on the island of Patmos. You are
- 2:46:52Speaker 2: praying in the Holy Spirit. You hear the waves gently
- 2:46:57Speaker 2: coming in and going back out. You smell the fragrance
- 2:47:03Speaker 2: of the sea and the sand, and the sun is
- 2:47:08Speaker 2: warm on your face as you pray. Jesus sends an
- 2:47:14Speaker 2: angel to you. His face is pure light and warm.
- 2:47:22Speaker 2: He is kind and strong. Watch the Angel as he
- 2:47:28Speaker 2: presents you with a special revelation of things that will
- 2:47:33Speaker 2: soon take place. Your heart fills with a deep assurance
- 2:47:40Speaker 2: of God's presence. His plan is perfect, his ways are sure.
- 2:47:49Speaker 2: He has the future in his hands. You are deeply
- 2:47:55Speaker 2: comforted and secure in the Lord. You look into heaven
- 2:48:03Speaker 2: and you see Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, alive
- 2:48:09Speaker 2: and on his throne. You hear the voices of thousands
- 2:48:15Speaker 2: and millions of angels and living beings and elders around Jesus,
- 2:48:23Speaker 2: and they sing in a mighty, sweet chorus. Worthy is
- 2:48:29Speaker 2: the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches
- 2:48:34Speaker 2: and wisdom and strength, and honor and glory and blessing.
- 2:48:42Speaker 2: And you heard every creature in heaven and on earth,
- 2:48:46Speaker 2: and under the earth, and in the sea, they sing,
- 2:48:51Speaker 2: blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the
- 2:48:56Speaker 2: one sitting on the throne, and Jesus, the Lamb. Forever
- 2:49:02Speaker 2: and ever. As your mind tries to make sense of
- 2:49:08Speaker 2: it all, you are comforted by the loving eyes of Jesus,
- 2:49:13Speaker 2: who is with you every step of the way. Know
- 2:49:19Speaker 2: that Jesus is waiting for you in heaven. Let that
- 2:49:25Speaker 2: give you perfect rest. Tonight you see the Holy City,
- 2:49:32Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem, coming down from heaven, adorned as a
- 2:49:37Speaker 2: bride ready to meet her husband, adorned with jewels, pure
- 2:49:43Speaker 2: and clean. You witness this magnificent event in awe and wonder.
- 2:49:52Speaker 2: Then you hear a voice from heaven saying, behold, the
- 2:49:59Speaker 2: dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell
- 2:50:03Speaker 2: with them, and they will be his people, and God
- 2:50:08Speaker 2: himself will be with them as their God. He will
- 2:50:13Speaker 2: wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall
- 2:50:18Speaker 2: be no more. Neither shall there be mourning, nor crying,
- 2:50:23Speaker 2: nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.
- 2:50:31Speaker 2: These words from the Lord give you deep comfort. You
- 2:50:36Speaker 2: dream of a place where there is no more sorrow
- 2:50:40Speaker 2: or pain. In fact, you picture that place now, a
- 2:50:46Speaker 2: place of peace, of holiness, of joy, and of rest.
- 2:50:58Speaker 2: There is nothing to be afraid of. The words of
- 2:51:02Speaker 2: the Lord are trustworthy and true. Hear the precious promises
- 2:51:09Speaker 2: of the Lord. He is making all things new. He
- 2:51:16Speaker 2: is making all things new. He is making all things new.
- 2:51:28Speaker 2: Everything else fades away, as you imagine the Holy City,
- 2:51:33Speaker 2: the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven. As a bride, feel
- 2:51:42Speaker 2: yourself being carried by the Angel, carried in the spirit
- 2:51:47Speaker 2: of the Lord. He carries you to a place overlooking
- 2:51:53Speaker 2: the great City. As the New Jerusalem is descended from heaven,
- 2:52:01Speaker 2: you are amazed by its radiance, for the glory of
- 2:52:06Speaker 2: God surrounds it. You feel it, you sense it with
- 2:52:12Speaker 2: every fiber of your being. The Glory of God is
- 2:52:18Speaker 2: in this place. The light of the New Jerusalem is
- 2:52:25Speaker 2: like a precious stone, clear as crystal. Imagine the reflections,
- 2:52:33Speaker 2: the shimmerings, the glistening of that glorious light. As the
- 2:52:39Speaker 2: Holy City descends before your eyes, you see a high
- 2:52:46Speaker 2: wall with twelve gates and twelve angels guarding those gates,
- 2:52:52Speaker 2: three to the north, three to the south, three to
- 2:52:57Speaker 2: the east, and three to the west. On the gates
- 2:53:03Speaker 2: are the inscriptions of the twelve tribes of Israel. You
- 2:53:10Speaker 2: hear a voice from heaven describing every detail of the
- 2:53:15Speaker 2: Holy City, from the outer wall to the very center.
- 2:53:21Speaker 2: Everything is explained to you. Listen to the voice of
- 2:53:26Speaker 2: the One who speaks to you tonight. Hear what the
- 2:53:31Speaker 2: Spirit and the Bride has to say, In perfect peace,
- 2:53:38Speaker 2: you listen to the beautiful descriptions of the New Jerusalem.
- 2:53:44Speaker 2: You are calm and relaxed. You breathe deeply of the
- 2:53:52Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. You willingly receive what He has to share
- 2:53:57Speaker 2: with you tonight. Gold, pure gold are the words that
- 2:54:06Speaker 2: describe the streets of the Holy City. Like clear glass
- 2:54:12Speaker 2: of the Golden Street shimmers and shines in beautiful brilliants.
- 2:54:19Speaker 2: Imagine yourself walking on that street of gold. Step by step,
- 2:54:26Speaker 2: you walk in perfect peace, surrounded by the glory of God.
- 2:54:35Speaker 2: As you walk through the city, you see that the
- 2:54:39Speaker 2: foundations of the wall are adorned with many jewels. Jasper, sapphire,
- 2:54:46Speaker 2: and emerald are only a few of the stones mentioned.
- 2:54:52Speaker 2: You touch them, amazed by their beauty. They are smooth
- 2:54:57Speaker 2: and brilliant colors of red, blue, and green, unlike any
- 2:55:03Speaker 2: precious jewels you've ever seen or touched. As you come
- 2:55:09Speaker 2: to one of the gates, you realize that it is
- 2:55:12Speaker 2: made of pearl. You reach out to touch the smooth,
- 2:55:18Speaker 2: white surface. You are amazed to discover that each gate
- 2:55:24Speaker 2: is made of one whole pearl. You've never seen anything
- 2:55:30Speaker 2: so beautiful. As you look around, you do not see
- 2:55:36Speaker 2: a temple in the Holy City of God. There is
- 2:55:40Speaker 2: no need for one, for the Lord God Almighty and
- 2:55:45Speaker 2: the Lamb are its temple. You look up and see
- 2:55:51Speaker 2: there is no sun or moon, yet there is light.
- 2:55:56Speaker 2: There is no need for sun or moon stars, for
- 2:56:01Speaker 2: the glory of God illuminates the Holy City. Imagine that
- 2:56:07Speaker 2: illumination now the light of the Lamb Jesus Christ, in
- 2:56:14Speaker 2: all of his brilliance. You are assured that all who
- 2:56:20Speaker 2: are saved will walk in that glorious light in the
- 2:56:25Speaker 2: New Jerusalem. Even kings will bring their glory and honor
- 2:56:31Speaker 2: into the Great City, and those whose names are written
- 2:56:37Speaker 2: in the Lamb's Book of Life will be there, walking
- 2:56:41Speaker 2: the streets of pure gold. Imagine the Lamb's Book of Life,
- 2:56:49Speaker 2: the page's turning, turning one by one until you see
- 2:56:56Speaker 2: your name appear. Your name is in the Book of Life.
- 2:57:05Speaker 2: Listen as Jesus, your Loving Savior, reads your name aloud
- 2:57:13Speaker 2: from the book. Feel as he takes you by the
- 2:57:18Speaker 2: hand and hugs you, welcoming you into His kingdom. Looking around,
- 2:57:27Speaker 2: you witness God's people smiling and joyful, without any sorrow
- 2:57:33Speaker 2: or pain. You hear the sounds of birds and rushing water,
- 2:57:39Speaker 2: living water that only the Savior can give. You feel
- 2:57:46Speaker 2: the gentlest breeze on your face, and know that the
- 2:57:51Speaker 2: very presence of God is with you. You've never felt
- 2:57:57Speaker 2: more at peace. This is what eternity is. Finally you
- 2:58:07Speaker 2: hear the most wonderful words of all the words of
- 2:58:13Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. It is done. I am the Alpha and
