Then
I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
- · This new Jerusalem is the church of God in its new and perfect state (MH)
- · This is the Jerusalem of hope (Hebrews 12:22), the Jerusalem above (Galatians 4:26), the place of our real citizenship (Philippians 3:20). (DG)
Isaiah
54:5 For your Maker is your husband, the
LORD of hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is
called the God of the whole earth.
Isaiah
61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the
LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the
garments of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a
bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her
jewels.
