Written by Yahusha's Student John ...
1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the former heaven and the former earth had passed (FRACKLED) away, and the sea is no more. 2 And I, John, saw the Set-Apart City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from YAHUSHA, prepared as a Bride adorned for her husband.
THE NEW HEAVENS AND EARTH WILL NOT BE A REDECORATING, A REMODELLING, OR A THOROUGH SCRUBBING OF SIN OUT OF THE OLD EARTH, BUT ALL WILL BE BRAND NEW RIGHT DOWN TO THE ELEMENTAL LEVEL.
3 And I heard a loud voice from the Heaven saying, “Look! The Tabernacle (TENT) of YAHUSHA is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and YAHUSHA HIMSELF will be with them and be their Alahim".
THE TABERNACLE (TEMPLE) OR 'CITY OF YAHUSHA' IS THE ULTIMATE OF ALL PREVIOUS DWELLING PLACES BETWEEN YAHUAH AND MANKIND, FOR ALL OTHERS WERE TYPES AND SHADOWS, SEPARATING THE CLEAN FROM THE UNCLEAN WITH A VEIL, WHICH WAS FULFILLED THROUGH YAHUSHA’S FLESH AS THE ULTIMATE TEMPLE VEIL. AND ONCE PIECED AND BROKEN THE CONTENTS OF THIS EARTHLY VESSEL WAS SHARED AND SOWN INTO HIS BRIDE, TO EMPOWER HER AND ALLOW HER TO ‘WORK OUT HER DELIVERANCE WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING’. YAHUSHA'S OLD BODY WAS CONSUMED ON THE ALTAR AS A LIVING SACRIFICE AND HE WAS BIRTHED ANEW WITH A NEW ULTIMATE FIRST-FRUIT (GLOWING) BODY. SO THIS NEW JERUSALEM IS THE ULTIMATE ETERNAL FULFILMENT OF THE TABERNACLE OF YAHUAH WITH MANKIND AND IT’S NAME FROM THAT DAY FORWARD WILL BE `YAHUSHA IS THERE’ (YAHUAH SHAMMAH), FOR HE IS FINALLY IN THE MIDST OF HIS PEOPLE WITH NO VEIL OF SEPARATION.
4 And YAHUSHA will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying. And there will be no more pain, for the former things have all passed (FRACKLED) away. 5 And He Who was sitting on the Throne said, “SEE I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW.” And He (YAHUSHA) said to me, “Write all this down son, for these words are trustworthy and true.” 6 And He said to me, “SEE, IT IS DONE! I am the Alef and the Tau, the Beginning and the End (INCLUDING ALL THAT'S IN THIS BOOK). And I'll give anyone who thirsts, free water to drink from the fountain of life".
7"The one who OVERCOMES (STOPS SATAN'S EVIL WORLDLY BEHAVIOUR FROM COMING THROUGH THEIR FLESH) will inherit all this, and I will be their Alahim and they will be My people. 8 But as for the cowardly, and untrustworthy, and abominable, and murderers, and those who whore, and drug sorcerers, and idolaters, and all the liars, their reward is the lake which burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.” (OUR EGO & SELF IS AN ABOMINATION TO YAHUSHA AND MUST BE THROWN ON THE ALTAR OF FIRE TO BURN UP SO YAHUSHA CAN SHINE THROUGH US)
9 And one of the seven Angels who held the seven Bowls filled with the seven last plagues came to me and said, “Come with me mate, and I’ll show you the Bride, the Lamb’s Wife.” 10 And he took me away 'in the Spirit' to a massive, high mountain, and showed me the great city, the New Divine Jerusalem, coming out of the Heaven from YAHUSHA, 11 having His esteem, and her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal, 12 and having a great and high wall, having twelve Gates, and at the Gates twelve Angels, and names written on them, which are of the Twelve Tribes of the children of Yisharal: 13 Three Gates on the East, three on the North, three on the South, and three on the West.
YAHUSHA'S FIRST BRIDE FAILED BUT HIS NEW BRIDE WILL BE PURE IN OVERCOMING. THE NAMES ON THESE GATES ARE NOT ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF OLD BUT ABOUT WHO THEY REPRESENTED THROUGH THE EXODUS, SINAI, WILDERNESS, ALL CAMPED AROUND THE TABERNACLE. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF YAHUSHA'S HEART IN REDEEMING HIS PEOPLE AND WANTING TO BE SO CLOSE TO THEM. THEY ARE NEVER FORGOTTEN, BUT TRANSFORMED THROUGH HIS BLOOD.
14 And the wall of the city had Twelve Foundations, and on them were the names of the Twelve first Followers of the Lamb. 15 And he who spoke with me (THE ANGEL) had a gold measuring rod, to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall.
THE SIZE AND SHAPE IS CLEARLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IN SCRIPTURE, TO MEASURE SOMETHING MEANS TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH. SO (FOR EXAMPLE) TO MEASURE A PERSON IS TO DETERMINE THE TRUTH OF WHO THAT PERSON REALLY IS. THE NEW JERUSALEM IS BEING MEASURED SO THAT THE TRUTH OF ITS UNDERLYING NATURE CAN BE ESTABLISHED. AND YET THE CITY DOES HAVE DEFINITE DIMENSIONS, EVEN THOUGH THE ENGLISH MASKS ALOT OF IT.
16 And the city lies four-cornered, and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the rod: 2,200 kilometres in length, and the breadth, and height of it are equal (12,000 MEASURES / FURLONGS / STADIA OF DISTANCE). 17 And the Angel measured its wall: 65 metres (144 CUBITS) using the standard everyday measurement.
18 And the structure of its wall was Jasper and the city was clean gold, like clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation: Jasper, the 2nd Sapphire, the 3rd Agate, the 4th Emerald, 20 the 5th Sardonyx, the 6th Ruby, the 7th Krysolite, the 8th Beryl, the 9th Topaz, 21 the 10th Crysophase, the 11th Jacinth, and the 12th Amethyst.
22 And I saw no Temple in this city, for YAHUSHA Al Shaddai (the Lamb) is its Temple. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, or of the moon to shine in it, for the esteem of YAHUSHA lighted it (the Lamb is its lamp!)
24 And the nations, of those who are delivered, will walk in its light, and the Kings of the earth bring their esteem into it. (THESE ARE ALL THE BRIDE) 25 And its gates will not be shut at all by day, for night will not be there. 26 And they will bring the esteem and the appreciation of the nations into it. 27 And there will by no means enter into it whatever is unclean, neither anyone doing abomination and false-hood, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Scroll of Life.
