I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet,

Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and [One] sat on the throne.

So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness. And I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast [which was] full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

"And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone from you, that the Spirit of the LORD will carry you to a place I do not know; so when I go and tell Ahab, and he cannot find you, he will kill me. But I your servant have feared the LORD from my youth.

Then they said to him, "Look now, there are fifty strong men with your servants. Please let them go and search for your master, lest perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley." And he said, "You shall not send anyone."

So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.

He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my hair; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the north gate of the inner [court,] where the seat of the image of jealousy [was,] which provokes to jealousy.

Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the East Gate of the LORD's house, which faces eastward; and there at the door of the gate were twenty-five men, among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

Then the Spirit took me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those in captivity. And the vision that I had seen went up from me.

In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was captured, on the very same day the hand of the LORD was upon me; and He took me there.

He took me there, and behold, [there was] a man whose appearance [was] like the appearance of bronze. He had a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand, and he stood in the gateway.

Now when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, so that the eunuch saw him no more; and he went on his way rejoicing.

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago -- whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows -- such a one was caught up to the third heaven.

how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

In the twenty-fifth year of our captivity, at the beginning of the year, on the tenth [day] of the month, in the fourteenth year after the city was captured, on the very same day the hand of the LORD was upon me; and He took me there.

He took me there, and behold, [there was] a man whose appearance [was] like the appearance of bronze. He had a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand, and he stood in the gateway.

Now there was a wall all around the outside of the temple. In the man's hand was a measuring rod six cubits [long, each being a] cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod; and the height, one rod.

Each gate chamber [was] one rod long and one rod wide; between the gate chambers [was a space of] five cubits; and the threshold of the gateway by the vestibule of the inside gate [was] one rod.

Then he measured the vestibule of the gateway, eight cubits; and the gateposts, two cubits. The vestibule of the gate [was] on the inside.

He measured the width of the entrance to the gateway, ten cubits; [and] the length of the gate, thirteen cubits.

Then he measured the gateway from the roof of [one] gate chamber to the roof of the other; the width [was] twenty-five cubits, as door faces door.

[From] the front of the entrance gate to the front of the vestibule of the inner gate [was] fifty cubits.

Then he brought me into the outer court; and [there were] chambers and a pavement made all around the court; thirty chambers faced the pavement.

Then he measured the width from the front of the lower gateway to the front of the inner court exterior, one hundred cubits toward the east and the north.

Its gate chambers, three on this side and three on that side, its gateposts and its archways, had the same measurements as the first gate; its length [was] fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.

A gate of the inner court was opposite the northern gateway, just as the eastern [gateway;] and he measured from gateway to gateway, one hundred cubits.

[There were] windows in it and in its archways all around like those windows; its length [was] fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.

[There was] also a gateway on the inner court, facing south; and he measured from gateway to gateway toward the south, one hundred cubits.

Also its gate chambers, its gateposts, and its archways [were] according to these same measurements; [there were] windows in it and in its archways all around; [it was] fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Its archways faced the outer court, palm trees [were] on its gateposts, and going up to it [were] eight steps.

Also its gate chambers, its gateposts, and its archways [were] according to these same measurements; and [there were] windows in it and in its archways all around; [it was] fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

Then he brought me to the north gateway and measured [it] according to these same measurements --

Its gateposts faced the outer court, palm trees [were] on its gateposts on this side and on that side, and going up to it [were] eight steps.

In the vestibule of the gateway [were] two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to slay the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.

Four tables [were] on this side and four tables on that side, by the side of the gateway, eight tables on which they slaughtered [the sacrifices.]

Inside [were] hooks, a handbreadth wide, fastened all around; and the flesh of the sacrifices [was] on the tables.

Then he said to me, "This chamber which faces south [is] for the priests who have charge of the temple.

And he measured the court, one hundred cubits long and one hundred cubits wide, foursquare. The altar [was] in front of the temple.

The length of the vestibule [was] twenty cubits, and the width eleven cubits; and by the steps which led up to it [there were] pillars by the doorposts, one on this side and another on that side.

" The five thousand [cubits] in width that remain, along the edge of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for general use by the city, for dwellings and common-land; and the city shall be in the center.

"The common-land of the city shall be: to the north two hundred and fifty [cubits,] to the south two hundred and fifty, to the east two hundred and fifty, and to the west two hundred and fifty.

"The workers of the city, from all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.

" The rest [shall belong] to the prince, on one side and on the other of the holy district and of the city's property, next to the twenty-five thousand [cubits] of the [holy] district as far as the eastern border, and westward next to the twenty-five thousand as far as the western border, adjacent to the [tribal] portions; [it shall belong] to the prince. It shall be the holy district, and the sanctuary of the temple [shall be] in the center.
