The Bride

Then one of the seven angels who held the seven bowls

containing the seven last plagues came and said to me,
“Come with me! I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
So he took me in spirit to a great, high mountain,
and he showed me the holy city, Jerusalem,
descending out of heaven from God.
It was filled with the glory of God
and sparkled like a precious gem,
crystal clear like jasper.
~Rev. 21:9-11

Everlasting Joy Upon Their Heads

For waters will break forth in the wilderness

And streams in the Arabah.
The scorched land will become a pool
And the thirsty ground springs of water;
In the haunt of jackals, its resting place,
Grass becomes reeds and rushes.
And the ransomed of the LORD will return
And come with joyful shouting to Zion,
With everlasting joy upon their heads.
They will find gladness and joy,
And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
-Is. 35:6-7 & 10
