21And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, with each gate consisting of a single pearl. The main street of the city was pure gold, as pure as transparent glass.
22But I saw no temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23And the city has no need for sun or moon to shine on it, because the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory.f 25Its gates will never be shut at the end of the day, because there will be no night there.
26And into the city will be brought the glory and honor of the nations. 27But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who practices an abomination or a lie, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Today we are having the test, name the fourteen minerals, metals, gems, stones or variations used in the New City of Jerusalem.
If you fail you will be cast into the lake of fire. Not!
Isn’t is great our salvation isn’t based on anything but faith in Jesus Christ?
“The inhabitants need no place of worship or sacrifice, the object of all worship being present, and the great sacrifice Himself being there.” (Alford)
“The exhortation warns present readers that the only way to participate in the future city is to turn one’s loyalties to the Lamb now.” (Johnson)
Will you partake in the New City of Jerusalem?
Your name must be in the book!
“only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”
Don’t delay, be adopted into God’s family today!
Where is your loyalty?
Blessings, David
