Revelation 21; Verses 15-21; Eternal Heaven; The Third & Final Heaven & Earth Age

Thank you for taking a look †

(Revelation 21:15-21) "And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.

(Nothing cheap and flimsy here. The author of science about to show HIS great architectural "light work." even the measuring "stick" made of gold. Notice, when Christ comes back for the Millennium He is coming with a rod of iron, not so here. So we're about to see here is justice meted out equally/balanced, organized with splendor and majesty for the King. God is using all the precious stones here for righteousness. The opposite is of course is what man used to worship and balanced his justice according to. They won't be Heaven, and they deserve it. Especially after that rod of iron of the Millennium, knowing full well who Christ was and is then still following satan. satan worshipers we don't want them around, and there will be more than we can really understand (from Revelation 20:7-9).

16And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.

(1,500 miles square and high. Royal justice, no man could ever make like something like this. Too many unrepentant bureaucrats have to have a piece of pie. Even the Babylonian queen from before the Millennium. She said me, me, me give me what I want let me sit in my palace, rule the World and claim love. Also, notice the brides wife language is dropped from this point henceforth. Jerusalem never to play the harlot again--Revelation 11:8--also, where Christ was crucified. The city well big enough for all the tribes of Israel, to now live how they were to from the get to. There is no need to any further because there is nothing to spiritually fornicate with anymore).

17And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.

(The measure of a man being used to show what man cannot pull of Himself, nor with satan's help).

18And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.

19And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;

(An impossible task for man, though he may try. No concrete here, the very foundation "poured" on beauty).

20The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

(Every color in sparkling beauty overlapping in combination being depicted here, with transparency, nothing hidden--no darkness. Those who love the light and the beauty given to it will be in it).

21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass."

(That "yellow brick road" is only a cheap imitation. We're off to see the King, but not for a heart, brain, and courage, the absence of fear. God gives all those things before we go see HIM. And only those who have them will be going to see HIM. The Lord as the giver all things. Every good gift comes from above).

Amen †
