The New Jerusalem
The New Jerusalem. Revelation 21:9-27 The message of Revelation stirs worship. When John heard the prophecies of the Revelation, he was so astounded that he was gripped with a spirit of fear and worship. He actually fell down at the feet of the angel who was delivering the message for the Lord. This was the second time that John had done this (Rev. 19:10). Again, the angel rebuked John. He told John to get up, for angels are only servants of God just as men are. He told John to worship God and God alone. there is the city’s light, the glory of God and of the Lamb, the Lord Jesus Christ.the new heavens and earth will have a capital city, a city where the throne of God and of Christ sit. The city is being prepared in heaven and it is beyond description. Its name is the New Jerusalem or the Heavenly Jerusalem.Believers will rule and reign with Christ. They will reign as kings for Him, probably serving Him and overseeing the universe for Him. Remember: the heavens will be created anew as well as the earth. The billions of heavenly bodies will apparently be made alive and fruitful. Whatever the case, Scripture clearly teaches that believers will rule and reign with Christ and serve Him in responsible positions as kings.
