The Destiny of the Redeemed (2)
The new heaven and new earth must
Have a capital city in accordance
With it’s splendor. John saw the
New Jerusalem glorious as a bride.
The high walls symbolize protection.
The 12 gates, an abundant entrance,
And are never closed. The 12 foundations
Means the City could not be shaken.
There will be perfect room for all the
Redeemed. The entire description
Presents a strong, spacious, perfect,
And beautiful City of God.
There is no temple in the city where
Sacrifices were made for sin. It was
Not needed in the New Jerusalem
Because there is no sin to atone for.
The gates of the city will never be
Closed to those who are purified
By the blood of the Lamb, and their
Names are in the Lamb’s book of life.
The beloved City is now the Lamb’s
Bride and God’s eternal city.
Remember this is apocalyptic
Figurative literature.
