Compare all
8 aBut the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in bthe lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”  

The New Jerusalem

9 Then one of athe seven angels who had the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came1 to me and talked with me, saying, “Come, I will show you bthe bride, the Lamb’s wife.”  
10 And he carried me away ain the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me bthe great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,  
11 ahaving the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal.  
12 Also she had a great and high wall with atwelve gates, and twelve angels at the gates, and names written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:  
13 athree gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west.  
14 Now the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and aon them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

Revelation 21:10

He carried me away in the Spirit (aphnegken me en pneumati). See same language in Revelation 17:7 when John received a vision of the Harlot City in a wilderness. Here it is "to a mountain great and high" (epi orov mega kai uyhlon). So it was with Ezekiel (Ezekiel 40:2) and so the devil took Jesus (Matthew 4:8). It was apparently not Mount Zion (Revelation 14:1), for the New Jerusalem is seen from this mountain. "The Seer is carried thither 'in spirit' (cf. Revelation 1:10; Revelation 4:1); the Angel's deuro is a sursum cor to which his spirit under the influence of the 'Spirit of revelation' (Ephesians 1:17) at once responds" (Swete).

And he shewed me (kai edeicen moi). First aorist active indicative of deiknumi, just as he had said he would do in verse Revelation 21:9 (deicw soi, I will shew thee). Precisely the same words about Jerusalem as in verse Revelation 21:2, save the absence of kainhn (New).
