Lesson 3 | Vocab
Memorization
Let’s continue memorizing Revelation 21:1-5, focusing this time on verse 2.
Setting The Stage
1. Listen to me read all of Revelation 21:1–5, following along in the text below.
2. Then listen to me read verse 2. Do so at least five times.
Working On Pronunciation
3. Now listen to me read each phrase of verse 2, and then say each phrase after me.
καὶ τὴν πόλιν τὴν ἁγίαν (and the holy city)
Ἰερουσαλὴμ καινὴν (new Jerusalem)
εἶδον καταβαίνουσαν (I saw coming down)
ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ (out of heaven)
τῷ ἀνδρὶ αὐτῆς. (for her husband)
Committing It To Memory
In this audio track, I read through verse 2 a phrase at a time, giving you time to repeat after me. After two run-throughs, the phrases that you are to repeat become longer. Again, this is done twice. The goal is for you to repeat this in its entirety.
Of course, you will need to listen through the full track many times before you have it down. Be patient with yourself and persevere! (Download the MP3 to listen as you drive, etc.)
4. Listen to verse 2 and repeat during the pauses. Repeat until you have this text memorized.
