Heavenly Jerusalem, Our Mother
The book of Revelation is filled with parables and prophecies about the last days (Mt 13:34–35). Apostle John received these visions from God Himself and wrote them down (Rev 1:1–2). One prophecy that many people are unaware of is about Jerusalem coming down out of Heaven.
“I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.”
“‘Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.’ And … he showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.”
When Apostle John saw the bride, he described her as the Holy City Jerusalem. Naturally, the bride of Christ, God our Father, is also someone special to us. Apostle Paul also testified about Jerusalem and who she is to us.
“But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.”
Galatians 4:26
“The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come!’ Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.”
