Your Capital In Eternity!
"The great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending
out of heaven from God, having the glory of God."
Revelation 21: 10-11
Travel websites offer lists of the most beautiful cities in
the world. You will usually find Prague high on the list.
Paris typically makes the cut, as does Florence, Italy.
But, even cities with greatest sites are filled with filth,
crime, heartache, division. It is ironic that multitudes
of people in the most beautiful cities in the world are
lonely and miserable.
Revelation 21 and 22 are travel guides for the city whose
builder and maker is our God. The Bible describes in literal
terms the great city that will be eternity’s capital. It is a city
whose architecture is crafted of jewels, whose streets are
paved with gold, whose walls are clear as glass, and whose
light is generated by the glorious presence of the Lord Jesus.
In the center of the city resides a throne of God, and issuing
from the throne is a river that irrigates the park containing
the tree of life.
If you like to travel, investigate what the Bible says
about This City. If you don’t like to travel, think
of
this city as your heavenly
home.
"To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God,
is infinitely better than the most
pleasant accommodations here."
Jonathan Edwards
