KINGDOM PROPHECY DAY THIRTY EIGHT: Scripture Reading: Revelation 21:12-27 Focus Verse: Revelation 21:23 More About The New Jerusalem Bear in mind that, when the angel revealed the New Jerusalem to John, he was not simply showing him a bunch of beautiful buildings. He was showing John the beautiful inhabitants of the city, as well as the place in which they now lived. Note that this city is marked by the number 12, which throughout the Bible, is a number closely associated with God’s divine authority. Verses 15-17 give us the dimensions of this beautiful city. Converted to miles, the measurement of the city would be about 1,400 miles on each side. To put that in perspective, imagine a city that covered an area almost ¾ the size of the United States and you would have a pretty good idea as to the size of this city. It is interesting to note that this city is built as a cube, being as high as it is wide. The Holy of Holies was also built as a cube, and that is exactly what this city is to be – a giant Holy of Holies. There will be one difference, with that being that all of God’s people will be granted full access to this Holy Place! Verses 18-21 describe the beauty of the city, describing the various precious materials that are used in its construction. Lastly, verses 22-27 describe the living conditions within this wonderful city. The Lamb of God will be the light of this city. There will be no danger there and all of God’s people will dwell together in total peace and safety. Prayer Emphasis: •Mention heaven to someone today. Find a way to bring it up in conversation and then use it to bring Christ into the conversation. Tell someone how you know that you are on your way there!
