The New Jerusalem Temple

Understanding New Jerusalem (new City of Peace) is part of the vision of understanding what God will bring to the earth at the consumation of the ages. This is the goal that Abraham sought for, as we are told in Hebrews 11:10.

Be aware that God is a creator and Jesus was said to be a carpenter.

Realizing that much of Revelation is in metaphorical language, it remains for us to use the rest of the scripture to interpret the book. The context of the scriptures will show us the meaning of these words.

Rev 21:1-5

21: 2 Who is the Bride of Christ in this metaphor?

21:3 This is the purpose of all creation. A fulfillment of the beginning in Eden with the exception that this is much better. Also, what is the tabernacle of God?

1Cor. 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.

2Cor. 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

2Cor. 5:2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

2Cor. 5:3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

2Cor. 5:4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

Christ entered the Heavenly tabernacle, the current Throne of God, which is the pattern by which the first tabernacles were made. The next Tabernacle of God is the dwelling with men on the perfected earth in the consumation of all things.

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

John 14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

New Jerusalem is the Third Fulfillment of the Marriage ceremony and respresents the completion of the Kingdom restoration plan when it reaches it fulness and Christ yeilds up all to God. These and many other scriptures show us that the New Jerusalem is the very Sons of God in their fully manifested and realized form as God changes them. They will be for the healing of the nations of the earth. They will be the ministers of Christ and bring rivers of living water to the world (Ezekial 40-44) and Hab. 2:14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

1Cor. 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

1Cor. 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

1Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

1Cor. 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

1Cor. 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

1Cor. 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

1Cor. 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

1Cor. 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

1Cor. 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

2Cor. 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

2Cor. 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Col. 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

Col. 1:20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

Hebr. 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Hebr. 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Hebr. 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Hebr. 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Hebr. 2:8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.

Hebr. 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

Phil. 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

Phil. 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Phil. 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Eph. 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Eph. 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

Eph. 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

Eph. 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

Eph. 1:11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Eph. 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
