REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Forty Two - A New Heaven and a New Earth - Continue

 John continues: "I saw also the  holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." (Revelation 21:2)  New Jerusalem is the bride of Christ, made up o the anointed Christias who remain faithful to death, and are raised to become kings and priests with the glorified Jesus.  (Revelation 3:12; 20:6)  Just as earthly Jerusalem became the seat of government in ancient Israel, the magnificent New Jerusalem and her Bridegroom make up the government of he new system of things. This is the new heaven. The 'bride' comes down out of heaven,' not literally, but the sense of directing attention to the earth.  The Lamb's bride is to be his loyal helpmeet in operating a righteous government over all mankind. A blessing indeed for the new earth!
