What a picture John shows us of the New Jerusalem, what we can expect to see when we get there. What caught my eye first was in verse nine- 777 - 7 angels, 7 bowls and 7 last plagues. Then next was the description of the New Jerusalem, not only the massive size, but John's description of it - 12 gates, 12 angels, 12 tribes, 12 foundations and 12 pearls on each gate.
One angel came and took John (in Spirit) and showed him the place. All the gold and jewels. WOW, just imagine the beauty. Who in this world would not like to live in a place like that. A place of no pain, no depression and no hurts of any kind ever. And we can have it and the way we get there is only through Jesus Christ.
We need to give ourselves over to Christ so when He comes, we will be ready for Heaven, ready for that place of beauty and peace.
