Bible Question: Greetings Humpy, If the book of Revelation has been fulfilled as you believe then where is the city of New Jerusalem that 21:1-4 talks about? prayon |
Bible Answer: You will find that the New Jerusalem of revelation is the church and we believer are that city right now. First if you will notice what it says in Rev 21:1-4 John tell us that the New Jerusalem is that Holy City, and he adds that this city was a bride now look at verse 9 and we are told that the city is the lamb's wife. Now look at Hebrews.12:22 here we are told that the New heavely Jerusalem is the church at that we are already in this city.You see what people do with Revelation is they think that everything in it is real and not look at it spiritully, Like the beast of Rev. 13 well you don't think that it is a real beast do you? Or what about the Dragon in Rev.12 do you think that is a real dragon? Also things like Rev.1 were we are told that CHRIST has eyes like fire and that his feet are as brass and that his hair is white like snow, surely you know that Christ don't look that way reallyn don't you, these are just figure of speech and have another meaning to them. just like the New City The Heavenly Jerusalem with it golden streets and pearl gates, people think that is the new heaven but that is not what it is talking about at all, it is using figure of speech, like the beast with seven heads and ten horns, well we know that it is not a real beast like that because in the same chapter it tells us he is a man and uses the word he, so we can know that it is not a real beast but figure of speech, and the new city well it does sound like a wonderful place and that is way so many people are decieved by it, no the new jerusalem is talking about the church it just shows us what it looks like to God, We don't see it but he does,like the beast it looks like a beast to God, but to us we must find out what the figure of speech stands for. So now that we got that cleared up, you that part of Revelation has been fulfilled also like all of it has. Just keep on reading and studying and you will see. Your Friend Humpy |
