Can you explain the heavenly Jerusalem?
Revelation 21:2,10 says: “And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband...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.” The Lamb's wife, the Bride, is veiled in the glory of the heavenly Jerusalem. It is significant that prior to this vision, John is told to, “...Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.” Yet the Lamb's wife is not actually revealed, we only see the heavenly Jerusalem and its glory. It is also the dwelling place of God with man, “...Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men” (Revelation 21:3).
