3 Dig Key verse: Rev 22: 17b Let him..water of life.
Read Revelation 21 & 22 读启示录21和22章。 The theme of Rev 21: The marriage supper of the Lamb – the new Holy City of Jerusalem 启示录21章主题： 羔羊的婚筵 — 新圣城耶路撒冷 What did John see in the beginning of chapter 21? The new heaven and earth, i.e. the first heaven and earth have gone (passed away). 约翰在21章开始时看到什么？新天新地，即先前的天地已经过去了。

4 Dig So, before the wedding supper of the Lamb, the old heaven and earth have gone. 在羔羊的婚筵以前，旧的天和地已经过去了。 What is the difference between the old and the new (heaven & earth)? There’s no sea. 新和旧有什么不同（天和地）？海没有了。 Where’s the sea creatures? All dead in Rev 16’s 2nd bowl judgment and also this is a new heaven and earth. 海里的生物到哪去了？在启示录16章中第二个碗的审判中都死了，现在是一个新的天和地。

5 Dig Then, there comes the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down form heaven and prepared like the bride for her husband. 然后，圣城新耶路撒冷从天而降，预备好了，就如新妇妆饰整齐，等候丈夫。 Why is the city coming down? It’s because God longs to live among men. 为什么城从天而降？因为神要与人住在一起。 So, to sum up what the loud voice is about: God’s living among men, People will belong to Him, God will be their Lord forever, with Him there won’t be any tears and sorrow – no death, mourning and crying or pain. More importantly, the old things have gone for good and everything becomes new. 大声音说的是：神要与人同住，人要属于神，神要永远作他们的主，与神同在将不会有眼泪和哀伤 — 不再有死亡，也不再有悲哀，哭号，疼痛。更重要的，以前的事都过去了，一切都变得新而美好。

6 Dig This is the intention before the fall of men. God is walking freely among Eve and Adam before their fall until…Gen 3: 8 – 10 这是人堕落之前神的心意。在亚当和夏娃堕落之前， 神在他们中间行走， 直到 …创世记3:8-10 After having said,” I’m making everything new!”, he put the stamp of approval so to speak as to say, ”Write this down because these words are trustworthy and true.” verse 5. 在说了“我将一切都更新了！”之后，他将允许的印记盖上，就如所说的，“你要写上。因这些话是可信的，是真实的。” 第5节。 Then, God said it was done. Why? It’s because He’s the beginning and the End. Hence, He created the earth as the beginning and He set up the new Jerusalem so as to be among men as the End. Verse 6. 然后，神说都成了。为什么？因为祂是开始和结束。祂以创造地作为开始并以建立新耶路撒冷以便与人同住做为结束。第6节。

7 Dig Furthermore, in verse 6 and 7, He promised us for the son ship and also for spring of the water of Life. Psalm 63:1 David mentioned about the thirsty he had for the Lord like in a dry and weary land where there’s no water. With the spring of the water of Life, our lives will be filled and restful because He’s our fulfillment of our wants unlike the materialistic things, which have never made us filled. 此外，在第6和7节，祂应许我们做他的儿子并赐我们生命泉的水。诗篇63:1中大卫提到他渴慕神就象在干旱疲乏无水之地。有了生命泉的水，我们的生命将充实而宁静，因为祂满足了我们心中的需求，不象物质上的东西，永不会让我们满足。

8 Dig On the contrary, He warned us about falling into eternal condemnation – the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderer, the sexual immorality, those practicing magic arts, the idolaters and the liars. They will end up in the lake of fire. Verse 7 and 8 反过来，祂警告我们不要落入永恒的被诅咒者— 那些不信的，可憎的，杀人的，淫乱的，行邪术的，拜偶像的，和一切说谎话的人之中。那些人将在火湖里终结。第7和8节。 In detail the new Jerusalem is described v : 10-25 节详细描述了新耶路撒冷： The appearance of the new Jerusalem is as bright as Jasper (because this is what the walls are made of). 新耶路撒冷的外观好像碧玉一样明亮（因为墙是碧玉造的）。

9 Dig It has 12 gates with x3 gates on each direction. 有十二个门，每个方向有三个门。
Each gate is made out of a single pearl. 每个门是一颗珍珠。 Each with each tribe name. 每个门上写着以色列一个支派的名字。 There’re x12 foundations with x12 apostles. 城墙有十二根基，根基上有十二使徒的名字。 The city is in a form of square with 12,000 stadia i.e. 1,500 miles or ½ of U.S. from west to east. 城是四方的，有12,000 stadia ，即1,500英里，或美国从西到东的½。

10 Dig The thickness of the wall is 144 cubits, i.e. 216 feet.
城墙厚144肘，即216英尺。 The city is made out of pure glassy gold (I haven’t seen this). 城是由纯金造的，那纯金如玻璃般明净（我从来没见过）。 Each foundation is decorated with different precious stones – jasper, sapphire, chalcedony, emerald, sardonyx, carnelian, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase, jacinth and amethyst. 每城墙的根基是用各样宝石修饰的—碧玉、蓝宝石、绿玛瑙、绿宝石、红玛瑙、红宝石、黄璧玺、水苍玉、红璧玺、翡翠、紫玛瑙和紫晶。

11 Dig No light is in the city because God is the light. 城内不用光照，因神就是光。
No temple either, because He’s the temple. 城内没有殿，因祂为城的殿。 The gate never shuts because there’s no night. 城门总不关闭，因为在那里没有黑夜。 Only the honor and the glory of the nations will be able to get in. 列国中荣耀尊贵的才能进去。

12 Dig Only the people without sin can come. They are those whose names are in the book of Life. 只有没有罪的人才能进来。他们是那些名字写在生命册上的人。

13 Dig The theme of chapter 22: His soon coming as the prophecy says – undeniable unchanging accuracy of the prophecy. 22章主题：如语言所说，他必快来 — 这预言不可否认，不可改变。 In chapter 22, what did the angel show John? The crystal clear river of the water of Life flowing down from the throne of God and of the Lamb in the holy city’s middle street. 在第22章，天使给约翰看了什么？城内街道当中一道生命水的河明亮如水晶，从神和羔羊的宝座流出来。 On both sides of the river what can be found? The tree of Life. Gen 3:22. The same tree that offers life forever. 河的两边有什么？生命树。创世记3:22。同样的树，此树让人永生。

14 Dig What are the leaves for? Healing of the nations. 树叶是做什么的？医治万民。
What’re the fruit? Yielding not seasonally, yearly, but monthly. (plenty of them) 果子是什么？结果不是按季，按年，而是按月。（很多） More about the city – the Lord God and Lamb will be there. We’ll be there to serve Him. 更多有关圣城的信息 — 在城里有神和羔羊。我们要在那里侍奉祂。 We belong to Him for we have His name on our foreheads. 我们属于祂，祂的名字写在我们的前额上。

15 Dig Also, there’re no light in the city because the Lord is the light. (Echo what is written in Chapter 21). 还有，城内又不用光照。因主就是光。（与21章所写的呼应）。 Just as John felt like to worship the angel, again he was forbidden, why? Again, the angel said he was just a fellow servant with him and with his brothers, prophets and those who kept the word in this book. What we should worship is only God，said by the angel. 当约翰要拜天使的时候，天使再次阻止了他，为什么？ 再一次， 天使说他与约翰，和约翰的弟兄众先知，并那些守这书上言语的人，同是作仆人的。天使说我们要敬拜的只有神。

16 Dig This prophecy was said to be unfolded so that we know what we should do before His coming, i.e. to be holy and do right – Let him who’s vile (morale despicable) and do wrong continue to do so, but let us who do right and be holy, remain faithful. 这预言被展开是让我们知道在他来之前我们应做什么，即要圣洁和做正确的事 — 不义的（道德败坏的），叫他仍旧不义。错误的，叫他仍旧错误。但我们做正确事并圣洁的，要持守。 His purpose of coming soon is to reward (give to everyone according to what we do – judgment of accountability). 他要快来是为了赏罚（要照各人所行的报应他-责任履行的判定）。

17 Dig The Lord is the beginning and the End (Hence, the Revelation and the Genesis are complete) and we should wash our robes (keep ourselves pure) and then we can take part in the tree of life (the everlasting life) and enter the Holy city. 主是开始和结束（因此，启示录和创世记是完整的）我们应该洗净我们的衣袍（保持我们纯洁）然后我们就有份生命树（永生）并进入圣城。 If not, we’ll be left behind (outside are the dogs and those practicing ungodly practices as magic arts, sexual sins, murderers, idolaters and falsehood. 如果不，我们会被留下（城外有那些犬类，行邪术的，淫乱的，杀人的，拜偶像的，并一切喜好说谎言编造虚谎的。）

18 Dig This message is sent by Christ through his angel to us and the church (go back to chapter 2 & 3). 基督将这个信息通过他的天使转给我们和教会（回到第2和3章）。 Again, Christ is the root and David’s offspring and the bright morning star and he’s not any stranger but we can search from his word who he’s. 基督是大卫的根，又是他的后裔，是明亮的晨星，他不是陌生人，而我们可以从他的话语中搜寻他是谁。 Towards the end of the Revelation, the Spirit (Holy Spirit) and the bride (holy city) say the conclusion of asking for His coming and calling anyone whoever is thirsty (hunger for the purpose of living) and looking for life of the living water come to Christ. 启示录的最后，灵（圣灵）和新妇（圣城）道出了结论，呼求祂来并呼叫口渴的（渴望生命的意义）和寻求生命之活水的人归向基督。

19 Dig The water of Life from Christ is free. 从基督来的生命之水是免费的。
Then, the warning about adding or taking out anything from this book will face the plagues described and his share in the tree of life. 然后，警告从书中加添或删除任何东西都会面临书上描述的灾祸并从生命树删去他的份。 One more time, Christ testified those prophecy and said he would come soon. John echoed with “Amen” and blessed God’s people with the Lord’s grace. 又一次，基督证实那些预言并说他必快来。约翰回应“阿门”并愿主的恩惠，常与神的民同在。

20 Reflect God’s purpose as He had created the world is eventually taking place through the Holy City and His purpose of creating men is to enjoy eternal relationship with Him. Have we prepared for His soon coming? 神创建这世界的最终目通过圣城实现，创造人的目的是为了享受祂与人之间永恒的关系。我们准备好祂来了吗？ Here’s a warning: i.e. outside there will be those who are evil and won’t be able to get in. 警告: 即城外都是邪恶的，他们不能进来。

21 Reflect Don’t add to this prophecy or delete anything from it because he will not be in sharing the tree of life. (beware of false doctrine in addition to the bible, occult) 不要增加和删除预言。否则，他将不会在生命树上有份。（小心圣经之外错误的教义和异端） Whosoever will may come. Now, it’s the accepted time and before it’s eternal too late. 无论谁愿意，都有可以来到基督的面前。现在就接受基督，不要等到一切都太迟了的时候。 Christ’s the only name whereby we’re saved and there’s no other name at all. 基督是唯一的可以使我们得救的名，此外没有其他的名。
