THE NEW JERUSALEM

`Then one of the 7 angels who had the 7 bowls filled with the 7 last plagues
came to me and talked with me, saying,
“Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb`s wife.” (Rev. 21: 9)



Now one of the angels who showed the Apostle John the `great harlot,` calls him to come and see the great city of God, `the bride, the Lamb`s wife.` This we know is all those who looked by faith for this city. They resided in the General Assembly till the time for them to descend in the city to their rightful place in the lower heavens. (the Universal heavens)

`you have come to....the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem ...
to the General Assembly ...
to the spirits of just men (Old Testament saints) made perfect.`
(Heb. 12: 23)



From the `great and high mountain,` the heavenly Mount Zion, John is able to see the great city, the holy Jerusalem descend from the third heaven to the lower heavens, the Universal heavens just above the earth.


`And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain,
and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. ` (Rev. 21: 10)



Now we see the New Jerusalem as not only the dwelling place of God in the midst of His people but the place where He can manifest His great glory. This glory comes through the power and authority of the Lord Jesus Christ.


`the great city....having the glory of God.`
(Rev. 21: 11)



The `light,` like a `jasper stone` presents Jesus as the mighty conqueror, the one through whom all this is made possible.

` And her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal. `
(Rev. 21: 11)


Jasper – Tribe of Naphtali – meaning Conqueror. (Gen. 30: 8)
