Q> Could you explain the characteristics pertaining to the city New Jerusalem?
A>Rev.21:10
And he carried me away
in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me
that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven
from God,
The holy city New Jerusalem is a literal city which is in the
future upon the sea of glass. God’s
throne is within the city New Jerusalem. The city New Jerusalem
was built without human hands,
being a city built by the Word of God. New Jerusalem is seen
descending out of heaven (sea of
glass) in Rev.21:10 from a great and high mountain. The time that
God’s holy city descends from
heaven in the future, to the earth of the past, will be at the
Sixth Seal (great and dreadful day of
God’s wrath). The city, New Jerusalem is also a spiritual
city, as all of its details have symbolical
meanings referring to the redeemed.
The great and high mountain symbolizes God’s spoken Word
which was written by the Prophets.
A mountain is a rock which represents God’s Word. Those who
believe God’s revealed Word
(rock) are as houses (people) built upon a strong foundation
(mountain; rock).
Mt.16:18
And I say also unto
thee, That thou art Peter (stone), and upon THIS Rock
(Word of Christ) I will
build my church (New Jerusalem); and the gates of hell
(no more death) shall not
prevail against it.
Ps.62:7
In God is my salvation
and my glory: the ROCK (God’s Word)
and my refuge, is in God.
The words of Christ 2,000 years ago represented the great
mountain (rock) upon which the
foundation (twelve apostles) of his church (New Jerusalem) was
built. In the latter days, the
Man-child (latter day Lamb) revealed the Seven Seals, which
represents the great mountain
(rock) upon which the foundation (followers) of his church (New
Jerusalem) is built.
Rev.21:14
And the wall of the city
had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve
apostles of the Lamb.
Upon the Word (great mountain) of Christ was built the twelve
foundations of his church, being
the twelve Apostles. In every generation there is a gathering of
Apostles (foundation) by the
revealed Word (great mountain) of the Lamb. Those who heard and
believed the inspired Word
of the latter day Lamb, were likened unto foundations of an house
which was built upon a rock
(mountain: Word of God).
Mt.7:24
Therefore whosoever
HEARETH these sayings (Present Truth) of mine
(Christ), and
DOETH THEM, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his
house upon a Rock
(mountain: Word of God):
In the latter days (our day) the man-child of Rev.12:5 built
his foundations (followers) upon
the Seven Seals Revelation which his followers heard and
fulfilled accordingly. The Word of
the Man-child (latter day Lamb) is the great mountain. The people
who heard and believed
the Man-child (latter day Cyrus) are the foundations of the city,
New Jerusalem. The Man-child
was killed on April 19, 1993, and his Remaining Bride
(representing the foundation of the church)
now prophesies again to gather the Firstfruits who represent the
twelve gates, which are built
upon the revealed Word (twelve foundations) of the Remaining
Bride.
Rev.21:12
And had a wall great and
high, and had twelve gates (representing
the Firstfruits:
Fellowservants and 144,000), and
at the gates twelve angels (twelve
spiritual tribes),
and names written thereon,
which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children
of Israel:
The twelve gates of Rev.21:12 have twelve Angels. The twelve
Angels represent the twelve
spiritual tribes of which the names of the 144,000, and
Fellowservants are written thereon.
The 144,000 are the children of the Remaining Bride who shall be
Sealed with the knowledge
of the Seven Seals, and are numbered, see Rev.7:4-8. The twelve
Angels also represent the
twelve tribes of the Remaining Bride’s children
(Fellowservants) who are to be killed in
Rev.6:11. The 144,000 are the Bride’s Remaining (Remnant of
Rev.12:17; 11:13) children
who do not die, therefore they are Sealed (marked) to stand in
the great day (Sixth Seal)
of God Almighty, see Rev.6:17.
The Firstfruits (Fellowservants and 144,000) are represented
by the twelve gates (twelve tribes)
which are built upon the twelve foundations (Bride of the Lamb).
The twelve foundations (those
who received the Seven Seals from the Lamb) are built upon the
great mountain (Word of God;
Seven Seals Scroll).
After the five months of torment of Rev.9:5 (which begins at
the Sixth Seal), the Firstfruits
(Fellowservants and 144,000) shall give the last warning to the
world, and a Great Multitude
from all nations, kindreds and tongues, shall leave Babylon and
enter through the twelve gates
(symbolizing the Firstfruits) into the city New Jerusalem. The
Great Multitude shall walk the
streets of gold, as the streets of gold symbolize the Great
Multitude of Rev.7:9.
Rev.21:21
And the twelve gates
were twelve pearls (symbolizing the
Firstfruits): every several
gate
(tribe) was of one pearl:
and the street of the city was pure gold
(symbolizing the Great
Multitude), as it were
transparent glass.
Rev.21:24
And the nations of them
which are saved (Great Multitude) shall walk in the light
of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour
into it.
The holy city New Jerusalem is also a literal city made by the
Hand (Word) of God. Prior
to the Sixth Seal, the city New Jerusalem is upon the sea
(diamond) of glass. In the future
from our day, this earth is in darkness and covered in deep
water.
Above the first earth and round about the first earth was
placed water, which then had its
molecular structure arranged to create twelve layers of gem
stones, with a diamond layer
(sea of glass) upon the top thereof. Upon the twelve foundations
and upon the sea of glass
(diamond) layer, another world like the first earth was created.
However, this time God gave
the animals and the Angelic beings the knowledge of good only,
with no knowledge of evil
within their minds and hearts. The city New Jerusalem is of the
world where the Angelic
beings dwell.
Within the city New Jerusalem is where God’s throne is,
and has always been. The heaven
where the Angels dwell with God is around this earth in our solar
system in the future of our
day, as we are in the past.
Is.40:22
It is he
(God) that sitteth
(upon his throne within New Jerusalem, see Rev.4:2)
upon the CIRCLE (twelve foundations and a
sea of glass/diamond) of the
EARTH,…
Past
Earth (our day)
To be destroyed in a Lake of Fire, see Rev.19:20.
Earth
(destruction of first creation)
Destroyed in a flood of water, see Gen.1:2.
Future
Earth (surrounded by a sea of glass)
God sits on the circle of this earth, see Is.40:22.
12 Foundations and a layer (sea) of diamond
The first creation before Adam and Eve upon the earth was
destroyed by God and covered
up in water and darkness. Thereafter God made a new world which
was built upon twelve
foundations and, a sea of glass (diamond) on the top. Upon those
foundations was placed
soil, trees, animals, rivers, and seas. God resurrected the
spirits of the first humans and placed
them within Angelic bodies upon the new world which was built
above and around the first
creation of the earth.
No Angelic beings knew of their first abode upon the old
earth. When rebellion arose in heaven
(which was led by Lucifer who became proud), God came back to the
past in spirit, being the
time before the new world of the Angels was created upon the
twelve foundations and sea of
glass. All humans who are born upon the earth are of the same
spirits of the Angelic beings in
heaven. Except we live their past, and they live our future. All
spirits born from Adam and Eve
are to be in God’s Kingdom.
A person’s destiny is predetermined according to what
spirit (righteous or rebellious) a person
is of. The universe we see at night is of the past. In the future
of our day there are twelve
foundations and a sea of glass upon the top of them, surrounding
the earth. Upon the foundations
is a world like unto our own, yet far more glorious. The city New
Jerusalem with its streets of
gold and gates made of pearl, is of the world (heaven) where the
Angels dwell. The only part
of the world of the Angelic beings which is not covered with
soil, trees, plants and water, is the
area before the throne of God (within New Jerusalem) which
reveals the top layer of diamond,
and beneath the diamond layer are twelve gem stone foundations.
