Lesson 269: THE BOOK OF REVELATION – PART 33: REV. 21:9-27

INTRODUCTION:
In the last part of this series, we began to study about the heavenly Jerusalem, the City of God, the City of Alpha and Omega and the City of the Church of the First-born. Today we shall continue our study, may God bless us as we study in Jesus Name. Amen

1. THE GOD OF THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE GOD OF THE NEW

The New Jerusalem is called the Bride of the Lamb. It is a city where the Old Testament Saints are honoured as well as the 12 Apostles of the New Testament. The city itself is the Holy of Holies of God, the dwelling place of God. It is a city so large that there is room for anyone who likes to be there.

2. THERE IS NO NIGHT THERE

There is no Temple in the City. It is not necessary because God Himself dwells there. There is no night there because there is no Sun to set or moon to rise. God is the Light of the City. You too are welcome in the City.
