26 twelve gates were twelve pearls; each separate gate a. single pearl. And the broad-way of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. And I saw no Sanctuary in it ; for the Lord, the God, the Almighty, and the Lamb, are its Sanctuary. And the city has no need of the sun, ner yet of the moon to shine upon it; for the glory of God illumi- nates it, and the Lamb is its lamp. Andthe nations shall walk by its light ; and the kings of the earth shall bring their splendour to it. And its gates shall not be closed daily, for night is not there. And they shall present the glory and the honour of the nations in it. But there shall never enter into it any profane, or who practises de- pravity and falsehood ; none but those who are recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life. 22 He also pointed- out to me a river of living water, sparkling like crystal, {lowing in the centre of its broad-way out from the throne of God and of the Lamb; and a tree of life, producing twelve crops, with the river on both sides. Each month yielded its own crop; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And no accursed thing shall any longer exist. And the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it: and His se1·· vants shall serve Him, and shall look upon His face; and His name shall be upon their foreheads. Night shall exist no longer; and they have no need of lamp-light, nor sunlight, for the Lord God shall illuminate them ; and they shall reign through the eternities of the eternities.
