REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Forty Three - No More Night

 Entry into  New Jerusalem-surely, there could be no more wonderous privilege!  Just think -those one lowly, imperfect humans will Jesus into heaven to become part of such a glorious arrangement! (John 14:2) John gives some idea of the blessings to be enjoyed  by these, saying: "And no more will there be any curse. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his slaves will render  him sacred service; and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads." (Revelation 22:3, 4)  When the Israelite priesthood became corrupt, it suffered Jehovah's curse. (Malachi 2:2) Jerusalem's faithless "house"  was pronounced abandoned by Jesus. (Matthew 23:37-39)   But in New Jerusalem, "no more will there be any curse." (Compare Zechariah 14:11.)  All its inhabitants have been tested in the fire of trials here on earth, and having gained  the victory, they will have to 'put on incorruption an immorality.' In their case, Jehovah knows just as he knew with Jesus thta they will never fall away. (1 Corinthians 15:53, 57) Further, "the throne of Gpod and of the Lamb" will be there, making the city's position secure for all eternity.
