Where is the New Jerusalem?

[bbyrd009]

Willie, you are sounding more and more like an Atheist.

now you're just out of line, and breaking the rules to boot

 

[bbyrd009]

We need to keep Hebrews 9.14 in mind, about the Lord Jesus purging our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

I don't recall examining my conscience as even part of prep for baptism now that you mention it

 

[bbyrd009]

Well, exactly. Prayer and the Scriptures - and, where possible, fellowship opportunities - are the believer's life: the elements in which they live and move, habitually.

who walks away from everything they have to follow
not many

 

[bbyrd009]

Actually. 1380 miles. LOL (And Outer Space begins at only 62 miles.)

lol

The new Jerusalem does not give light to the earth. God and Christ do.

So in eternity you believe there still will be day and night. Our space will still be dark.

believe it or not the rate of expansion has exceeded the speed required for every stars light to illuminate everywhere, and a day is postulated in which the universe will be lit! Dunno how true it is, should be searchable tho

look 12 k stadia is 12 k stadia for an important reason, and you're never going to be able to put an odometer on the wall I bet ok. This is describing a temple made without hands, surely. Won't come by observation, and all that

It is a city, not a temple.

But at the end of time all about this will be gone and start over with new realities.

Isaiah 26:1 KJV
[1] In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.

Isaiah 60:18-22 KJV
[18] Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise. [19] The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee: but the Lord shall be unto thee an everlasting light, and thy God thy glory. [20] Thy sun shall no more go down; neither shall thy moon withdraw itself: for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. [21] Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. [22] A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the Lord will hasten it in his time.

Isn’t he speaking of redeeming Israel

Isn’t he speaking of redeeming Israel

Why would God hide himself behind walls?

Israel is redeemed at the second coming.

He isn't hiding.

His throne is fully visible in the new Jerusalem. The center of the city.

The gates never close.

Yes, in the OTemple he was hidden. God hates to look upon sin. That is why his angels report to him.

In the church we have full access to him because our spirits have been cleansed when born again. That is why the Temple vail rent.

In eternity we are glorified so God is even more open to us.

Remember, even as things are now we cannot look upon his full glory and survive.

We have an amazing eternity ahead.

Yep. Zechariah 12:10

Here is a relative projection of what some of you think you will be living in for Eternity.

Notice that the bottom right-hand corner starts where Disney World sits.​

Totally misleading. There is no oceans on the new earth, so do you have a globe that is just green?
