New Jerusalem described. REVELATION. CHAP. XXII. 9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal; 12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: 13 On the east three gates; on the north 1.603.. three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. 66.10..12 g Ps. 72.11. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foun- h Zec.14.7. dations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. 15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof. i 18.35.8. 52.1. 60.21.

The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; 20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass. d Zec.14.11 e Eze 48.35 f c.7.15. g Mat 5.8.

The river and tree of life. 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And thered shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: 4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. 5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them/light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. 6 And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to show unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. 7 Behold, I come m quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which showed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. 10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still : and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 Iam Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the wroot and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shah add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely d I come quickly; Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. A CHRONOLOGICAL INDEX TO THE HOLY BIBLE, ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTATION OF ARCHBISHOP USHER; SHEWING IN WHAT YEAR OF THE WORLD, AND WHAT YEAR BEFORE CHRIST, OR AFTER CHRIST, EACH EVENT HAPPENED, AND THE PLACES OF SCRIPTURE WHERE THEY ARE RECORDED; INTERSPERSED WITH THE PRINCIPAL EVENTS IN PROFANE HISTORY. It may be necessary here to premise a few observations in explanation of the Various eras introduced into this work, by which any year of these eras which corresponds to a given year of the Christian era, or the year of the world, may ১০ easily discovered by the application of the rules of addition or subtraction. The A'exandrian era is that chronological computation which was used by the Deople of Alexandria, who reckoned 5502 years before A. D. The Antiochian era is a correction of the preceding, made in the fourth century, by Pandorus, an Egyptian monk, and used by the people of Antioch; and it differs from the Alexanirian only by subtracting ten years. The Constantinopolitan era is that used by the Byzantine historians, and by the Greek church, which reckons 5503 years before Christ. 'The Julian Period is a factitious era, conceived by Joseph Scaliger, to facilitate the reduction of the years of any given epoch to that of another; and is the result of the lunar and solar cycles, and the indictions, multiplied by each other. Thus, 19, the lunar cycle, multiplied by 28, the solar cycle, produces 532, which multipled by 15, the cycle of indictions, amounts to 7980 years, which tonstitute the Julian Period; in the first year of which all these three cycles segin together; and in the 4714th year of which falls the first year of the ChrisMan era. The Solar Cycie is a revolution consisting of 28 years; the Lunar Cycle, or Golden Number, of 19; the Cycle of Indictions, of 15 years; and the Dionysian Period, of 532, being the product of the Solar and Lunar Cycles multiolled by each other, called also the Paschal Cycle, because in that period the Christian Passover, or Easter, a moveable feast, has gone through all possible variations, and the Solar and Lunar Cycles, Dominical, or Sunday Letters, Pas chal Terms, Epacts, New Moons, &c. all recommence exactly as they had done 532 years before. The Nabonassarean era takes its name from Nabonassar king of Babylon, and commences 747 years before A. D. The era of Iphitus, king of Elis, took its rise 884 years before Christ, in consequence of his restoration of the Olympic games. The Olympieds derive their origin from the institution of the Olympic games, which were celebrated every four years, at the time of the first new moon after the summer's solstice; and the first Olympiad is commonly reckoned from the conquest of Olympia by Corebus, B. C. 776: It need scarcely be added, that each Olympiad consists of four years. The year of the building of Rome, (A.U.C.) is an important era among the Roman historians, and commenced, according to Varro, which is generally received, B. C. 753; but according to Cato and the Fasti Consulares, B. C. 752; according to Polybius, B. C. 751; and according to Fabius Pirtor, B. C. 747. The Samaritan Pentateuch places the primordial epoch B. C. 4700; the Septuagint, 5872, the Talmudists, 5344; Scaliger, 3950; Petavius, 3984; and Dr. Hales, 5411; who enumerates above 120 various opinions on this subject, the difference between the latest and remotest date of which is no less than 3269. The generally received epoch of 4004, B. C., however, seems to be as well established as any other; and it is worthy of remark, that the celebrated astronomer I a Place has observed, that that year was distinguished as a remarkable astronomical epoch; the earth's orbit then coinciding with the line of the equinoxes, and consequently the true and mean equinoxes being united. 687 3317 Methuselah born, Enoch being 65 21, 22. 874 3130 Lamech, father of Noah, born, Methuselah being 197 A.Μ.Β.C. 1757 2247 About this time the tower of Babel is built, which is followed by the confusion of languages and the dispersion of mankind 1771 2235 About this time Nimrod builds Nineveh, and founds the Assyrian empire Astronomical observations began at this time to be made at Babylon; for Callisthenes sent Aristotle a register of them for 1903 years, extending back from the taking of that city by Alexander, B.
