Bible Question: Is the holy city, new Jerusalem an apocalyptic symbol of the church? |
Bible Answer: My view about this is that at the end this earth there will be built the new Jerusalem. An actual city. Revelations is a very symbolic text i find this part is particularly detailed and can not really find any reason to consider it not to be real... Rev 21:1 - And i saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. Rev 21:5..., Behold, i make all thigs new. If our ultimate purpose is to worship God then the new Jerusalem could definently be considered a church as it will be used for the same purpose(To worship God!) I dont believe that it is an apocalyptic SYMBOL. the bible seams to suggest in revelations that it will be a real place. A place to worship our God. Like a church. God will come down to be with his people.(Rev 21:3) If their is a new heaven and a new earth and God is going to come down and live with us their will have to be a place for us to be with God. Later in the book of revelation their is also reference to the river of water of life and the tree of life. Rev 22:7- Behold, I come Quickly. If Our God Say's He is coming to us....Well... Then he will probably come to us... on the new earth.... In the new jerusalem.. |
