the way into heaven.
John was a very close friend to Jesus.
He told everyone of Jesus.
People began to follow Jesus' ways.
The leaders did not want it to be that way.
John was sent far away.
He was put on an island,
all alone.
One day, on the island,
John heard a voice.
It was loud,
like a trumpet.
John spun around.
He saw the voice was coming from Jesus.
John also saw other things.
He saw the devil being thrown into a lake of fire.
All the devil's helpers were also being put into a fiery lake.
He saw a new heaven and a new earth.
He saw the new city of God. A very loud voice said,
God's people will live with God now.
No more hurt, tears, or dying.
God said,
My people will live with me forever.
Then Jesus told John,
I am coming back to you soon.
John said, Yes, come back soon.
