The revelation of this vision of New Jerusalem, the Lamb's bride, is the happy climax to which Revelation points, and fittingly so. All of John's first century fellow Christians to whom the book was initially addressed looked forward to entering into that city as immoral spirit corulers with Jesus Christ. The remnant of anointed Christians still alive today on earth have the same hope. Thus Revelation moves on to its grand climax, as the completed bride is united with the Lamb. Next, by means of New Jerusalem, the benefits of Jesus' ransom sacrifice will be applied to mankind, so that eventually all faithful ones will enter into everlasting life. In this way the bride New Jerusalem, as a loyal helpmeet to her Bridegroom King, will share in building up for eternity a righteous new earth all to the glory of our Sovereign Lord Jehovah.- MATTHEW20:28; JOHN 10:10, 16; ROMANS 16:27.
