each one according to their
works.
(14)And death and the underworld were cast into the lake of fire. This
is the second death, the lake of fire. (15)And if any one was not
found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.

AND I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the
first earth passed away, and the sea is no more.
(2)And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven
from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (3)And I heard
a loud voice out of the throne, saying: Behold, the tabernacle of God
is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his
people, and GOD-WITH-THEM[21:3] himself will be their God. (4)And he

(11)having the glory of God; her luminary like to a most precious
stone, as it were to a jasper stone, clear as crystal; (12)having a
wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve
angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve
