The document provides an overview and commentary on Revelation chapters 21-22. It summarizes that these chapters provide a vision of a new heaven, new earth, and new Jerusalem, with God making all things new and dwelling among his people. There will be no more death, crying, or pain, and access to the tree of life is restored. The holy city is described as having great walls and gates guarded by angels, with God and the Lamb as its temple. It will be a place of eternal life, worship, and dwelling with God.

14. “Apocalyptic literature is a
special kind of writing that
arose among Jews and
Christians to reveal certain
mysteries about heaven
and earth, humanity and
God, angels and demons,
the life of the world today,
and the world to come.”

15. Apocalyptic literature
“reveals” these mysteries
through the use of
visions and highly
symbolic language.

16. Revelation 21-22

Then came one of the seven angels who
had the seven bowls full of the seven last
plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I
will show you the Bride, the wife of the
Lamb.”

Revelation 21:10-11
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a
great, high mountain, and showed me the
holy city Jerusalem coming down out of
heaven from God, having the glory of
God, its radiance like a most rare jewel,
like a jasper, clear as crystal.

18. Revelation 21-22
Revelation 21:12-14
It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and
at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates
the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of
Israel were inscribed— on the east three
gates, on the north three gates, on the south
three gates, and on the west three gates. And
the wall of the city had twelve foundations,
and on them were the twelve names of the
twelve apostles of the Lamb.

19. Revelation 21-22
Revelation 21:15-16
And the one who spoke with me had a
measuring rod of gold to measure the city
and its gates and walls. The city lies
foursquare, its length the same as its
width. And he measured the city with his
rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width
and height are equal.

21. Revelation 21-22
1 Kings 6:20
The inner sanctuary was twenty cubits
long, twenty cubits wide, and twenty
cubits high, and he overlaid it with pure
gold.

22. Revelation 21-22
The fact that the new Jerusalem is in the
shape of a cube is to let us know that no
matter where our place might be in this
massive city . . .
We will be right next to God!

23. Revelation 21-22
Revelation 21:17-21
He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by
human measurement, which is also an
angel's measurement. The wall was built
of jasper, while the city was pure gold,
like clear glass. The foundations of the wall
of the city were adorned with every kind
of jewel . . . and the street of the city was
pure gold, like transparent glass.

24. Revelation 21-22
Revelation 21:22-25
And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is
the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And
the city has no need of sun or moon to shine
on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its
lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations
walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their
glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by
day—and there will be no night there.

25. Revelation 21-22
Revelation 21:22-25
And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is
the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And
the city has no need of sun or moon to shine
on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its
lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations
walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their
glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by
day—and there will be no night there.

26. Revelation 21-22
Revelation 21:26-27
They will bring into it the glory and the
honor of the nations. But nothing unclean
will ever enter it, nor anyone who does
what is detestable or false, but only those
who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

27. Revelation 21-22
Revelation 22:1-2
Then the angel showed me the river of the
water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from
the throne of God and of the Lamb through
the middle of the street of the city; also, on
either side of the river, the tree of life
with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its
fruit each month. The leaves of the tree
were for the healing of the nations.

28. Revelation 21-22
Revelation 22:3-5
No longer will there be anything accursed,
but the throne of God and of the Lamb
will be in it, and his servants will worship
him. They will see his face, and his name
will be on their foreheads. And night will
be no more. They will need no light of
lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their
light, and they will reign forever and ever.

29. Revelation 21-22
Genesis 3:22-24
Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man
has become like one of us in knowing good
and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and
take also of the tree of life and eat, and
live forever—” therefore the Lord God . . .
drove out the man, and at the east of the
garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and
a flaming sword that turned every way to
guard the way to the tree of life.

30. Revelation 21-22
Revelation 2:7
He who has an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit says to the churches. To the one
who conquers I will grant to eat of the
tree of life, which is in the paradise of
God.
