The New Jerusalem (revelation of Revelation Series, Volume 6)

revelation of Revelation, An Urgent Message for the Church, Volume 6, The New Jerusalem is the fourth and final narrative of the book of Revelation. This narrative tells its story from verses 21:8 to 22:21 which brings the book of Revelation to a close. This fourth narrative is the story of the New Jerusalem, as the subtitle suggests. It truly is a proverbial tale of two cities. However, it is not the two cities one might expect out of the book of Revelation. It is not about Jerusalem, the city in the beautiful land vs. Babylon, the great city. For that matter, it is not about any two cities which are in stark contrast or polarized by each other due to good and evil. Surprisingly, its not a tale of opposition, competition, or rivalry, but one of two cities in service to and in harmony with each other. It is the tale of the New Jerusalem and the old Jerusalem. Here is what makes this tale of two cities so interesting; The New Jerusalem comes down from the spiritual realm as the center for the millennial reign of Christ. Old Jerusalem, or as we know it historically as, "Jerusalem," is renamed, "Jehovah Shammah, THE LORD IS THERE," for the occasion of the arrival of the New Jerusalem here on planet earth. What makes this tale, so perplexing is that not only do these two cities co-exist in union with each other, but they occupy the same space. Furthermore, the New Jerusalem comes down with its own mountain to sit upon making it the "chief mountain." Likewise, because of its size, the New Jerusalem can hold 46,875 old Jerusalem's within its walls. This happens during a time that there is no sun, no light from the moon, or from the stars to illuminate the earth. From that time forward, light streams out and over the walls of the New Jerusalem, lighting the whole earth resulting in no darkness-no nighttime. Within the covers of this final volume of, revelation of Revelation, An Urgent Message for the Church, Biblical prophecy which seemingly contradicts itself almost every step of the way is given a fresh new view. A view which untangles prophecy in a way that makes, for the first time, all the pieces fit into a perfect and completed puzzle.
