forth living creatures after their kind:
cattle and creeping things and beasts
of the earth after their kind'; and it was
so. God made the beasts of the earth

their kind, and everything that creeps
on the ground after its kind; and God
saw that it was good" (Gen. 1:24-25).

Is the New Jerusalem
the Church?
![Page 58: Revelation 21-22 The New Jerusalem](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062906/5a6cfec27f8b9a1b428b495b/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
New Jerusalem = The Church?
The city is described as a "bride beautifully
dressed for her husband" (21:2; see also vv.
9-10). Since the term "bride" often refers to
the church (Isa. 54:5; Eph. 5:32; etc.), it would
seem so here too (Hendriksen, 199). "Even in
the Old Testament the Church is represented
under the symbolism of a city (Isa. 26:1; Ps.
48; etc.)" (Hendriksen, 199).
![Page 59: Revelation 21-22 The New Jerusalem](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062906/5a6cfec27f8b9a1b428b495b/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
The New Jerusalem
4551. The church is never
called the bride of
Christ in the NT.
2. Verses 9-10 denote
the "bride" or "wife"
as the new
Jerusalem itself—
not the church
![Page 60: Revelation 21-22 The New Jerusalem](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062906/5a6cfec27f8b9a1b428b495b/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
"Then one of the seven
angels who held the seven
bowls containing the seven
last plagues came and said to
me, 'Come with me! I will
show you the bride, the wife
of the Lamb'" (21:9 NLT).
![Page 61: Revelation 21-22 The New Jerusalem](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062906/5a6cfec27f8b9a1b428b495b/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
The City Descending(21:10-11 NLT)
"So he took me in the Spirit to a great, high
mountain, and he showed me the holy city,
Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God. 11It shone with the glory of God and sparkled like
a precious stone—like jasper as clear as crystal."

"But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city

Everything New!(21:5-7 NLT)
"And the one sitting on the throne said, 'Look, I
am making everything new!' And then he said to
me, 'Write this down, for what I tell you is
trustworthy and true.' 6And he also said, 'It is
finished! I am the Alpha and the Omega—the
Beginning and the End. To all who are thirsty I
will give freely from the springs of the water of

"God's People: Close to His Heart - Forever
In the strange world of the Bible, God's people are
likened to jewels.
http://richardwalkerblogs.blogspot.sg/2010/12/gods-people-close-to-his-heart-forever.html
In the Old Testament, the High Priest would wear a
breastpiece on which was mounted 12 jewels. He
would carry these precious stones with him into the
Holy of Holies in the Tabernacle / Temple close to his
heart.
In the New Jerusalem, the walls are made of the very
same jewels found on the High Priest's breastpiece.
They now surround the dwelling place of God,
gathered from the four corners of the globe and they
will stay there, in the new creation, in the presence
of God."
