The Heavenly City

On the night before His crucifixion, the Lord Jesus Christ told His disciples, “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in GOD, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” The place Jesus referred to is the New Jerusalem. This is the capital city of Heaven. Presently, it is where GOD dwells with His holy angels, & where the saved go when they die. In the future eternal state, this glorious city will descend from Heaven to earth, where it will be the capital city of the new heaven & the new earth. Believers, this is our future, eternal home, & words could never adequately describe this place. But knowing the longing of His people’s hearts to see & know more about their eternal home, GOD gave the Apostle John a small glimpse of the heavenly city that he might share the details with the church, & through his experience, give us a little taste of heaven’s glory.
