Holy City

 

October 19 –

Holy City – Rev 21:2-3

 

Vs 2-3 – John sees the Holy City coming out of heaven.  It is God’s gift to the inhabitants of the earth.  It

is prepared  as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.  The analogy and metaphor is applicable

here.  God is the bridegroom and the people of God are the bride.  Our new dwelling place will be the

New Jerusalem.  John then hears a voice announcing that God’s dwelling place will be among mankind. 

The Lord Himself will now dwell on earth.  He will be among them and they will be His people and God

Himself will be with them and be their God.  God will now take physical form and will dwell among us.

Fellowship will be complete.  Currently we worship Him in Spirit and in truth but now He will dwell

Among us.  This is a mind boggling concept because how will an omnipresent God do this.  Many

Scholars believe that this will be Jesus Himself that will do this.  Remember Jesus shows himself in the

Form of man and his anthropology is flesh and bones.
