An angel showed John God's beautiful city. The walls were made of jewels, the gates were giant pearls, and the street was pure gold, as clear as glass!
There's no temple in the city, because God and Jesus are right there!
The city doesn't need the sun or the moon, because God's glory lights it up, and Jesus is its lamp! The gates are never shut.
