The New Jerusalem: The Ultimate Consummation of the Dispensing of the Triune God into Humanity

 

The New Jerusalem: The Ultimate Consummation of the Dispensing of the Triune God into Humanity

Revelation 21:2 Then I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Revelation 22:1 The angel showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, flowing out of the throne of God and of the Lamb in the middle of the city's streets.

Revelation 22:2 On both sides of the river stood the tree of life, which yielded twelve kinds of fruit, and produced fruit every month. Its leaves were for the healing of the nations.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, who will have permission to go to the tree of life and to enter the city through the gates.

Revelation 22:17 The Spirit said to the bride, “Come! And let those who hear say, ‘Come!’ Let those who are thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life freely.”
