Revelation 21

21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and *****mongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 And 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.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 And 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;
20 The 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.
21 And 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.
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.KJV

For Fair Use Discussion and Educational Purposes[

Here are some points that we, as the ecclesia need to believe because it is written.

1. The Tabernacle is with God. The Tabernacle is Yahshua Himself, in whom are the Living Stones that make up that Temple. It is not a building. Therefore there should be no concern of the Believer with the plans of the Vatican/Rabbis/Illuminati to build a Third Temple in Jerusalem. We used to think it was our job to support Israel, no matter what or why. Now, we know better. The teachings that have been on this site regarding who makes up the ecclesia being the natural House of Israel and Gentiles grafted into it ought to be making some sense now. So, now what do you, as a believer do with the Dispensation of the Gentiles that you have come to believe? It has convinced you for way too long that you need to be out of here because you are a separate entitity unto yourself? Once those Dispensational Duped Ones begin to understand that the Northern House of Israel is the ecclesia and the Southern House of Judah are the ones building their temple, then they will hit themselves on the fore-head and say, "Aaahaaa!" Or, at least you should.

2. Verse 9 begins to tell us when this Body of Believers, known as the Bride of Christ is seen in the New Jerusalem. It is before the last 7 plagues are poured out.

3. This city is the same distance long, wide and tall so must be a Cube. And you will notice there is no temple inside of it because He is the Temple/Tabernacle. There is no need for a building nor is there a need for the Ark of the Covenant, just as Ron Wyatt was told by the angel. The Ark will not be brought out. What Israel/Vatican will produce will be a replica.

4. Verse 24 tells us that there will be nations that will be required to come to the New Jerusalem to bring their Glory and Honor to it. That would take place at the one Feast that will continue, which is the Feast of Tabernacles, which is observed in today's Feasts of God. What the present Southern Kingdom has still not been able to see is that their Messiah Yahshua came just as prophecy said He would and it was right on time, at the 5500 year mark when He paid the price for opening the gates to Paradise once again. The Books of 1st and 2nd Book of Adam & Eve spoke about this timeline. Seth was told this regarding the desire of his parents, Adam & Eve, to return to Paradise. We know from scripture that Yahshua/Jesus Christ led those captive in Abraham's Bosom free when He descended into that place. They were seen alive with Him after His Resurrection and ascended with Him like a cloud.

5. None will enter this New Jerusalem who has not been written into the Lamb's Book of Life.

How often we have read this scriptures but never really were able to get a good hold of what is being told to us. Now, with just the passing of the past couple of years and studying the many materials put out by Steven, this all comes together more clearly. That is not to say, we have the absolute truth on it but we can say we have a better understanding since learning the Body is made up of natural and grafted in believers.
