New Jerusalem Holy City 2

I will give words about who will go into the New Jerusalem Holy City. Who will go into New Jerusalem holy city? The bride of Jesus will go in. Who is the bride of the Lamb, Jesus? Those who gets rapture when the coming of Jesus. Bride is the Christians who keep his chastity of faith to Jesus. Bride of Jesus is the people who keep his chastity of faith and being faithful to Jesus until the end. These people will be rapture and go into the Holy City, New Jerusalem. And they will live forever and ever with Jesus in the New Jerusalem Holy City.


In several books of Bible, it talked about coming back of Jesus.
John 14:3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

If Jesus prepared our houses in heaven, the New Jerusalem Holy City, He will come to take up us in the air. Then we must go up in the air and meet Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 talks about Jesus coming down from heaven and rapture.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.


When Jesus comes to air, what will happen in the first? First, if we see verse 16, the dead in Christ will rise first. All people who cleaned their sins through blood of Jesus and receive salvation in Christ in Old Testament also.

1 Corinthians 15:22
“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.” [NKJV]

When the last trumpet sound Abel, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Samuel, David, Apostle Paul, Peter, John, Matthew and other people like them will be rapture first. And those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God will get rapture. And if we see verse 17 the living, we will go up in the air also.


But the Bible Mat chapter 25 said that not all Christian will go up to the air. Only the five virgins will go in to the air among the ten virgins who prepared well. It means there are people who can enter New Jerusalem Holy City and who cannot enter New Jerusalem Holy City. Among the people who couldn’t get rapture, there are those who will receive protection in the refuge by God and enter the thousand kingdom years. And there are also people who will not receive beast mark and get martyred and will reign with Jesus for a thousand years in a thousand kingdom years. And there are also people who will receive beast mark and go to hell while worshipping the image of the beast. Revelation chapter 13:7 said that “Anti Christ will fight with saints and Anti Christ will overcome saints.” And because it is hard for saints to keep their salvation after rapture, they must get rapture surely. Daniel chapter 7:21 said “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them.” and this horns means Anti Christ. The word Anti Christ will fight with saints and overcoming saints means making saints receive beast mark and bringing them to hell. Before the rapture, power of Hades cannot overcome church of God but power of Hades can overcome the church after the rapture. Daniel 7:25 said “saints shall be given into his hand for a time and times and half a time.” And his hand means Anti Christ’s hand. Therefore we must prepare well the oil and become the servant of God who ‘give food in due season’ and we must meet Jesus in the air.


We will see how many percent will get rapture and how many will remain on earth according Matthew chapter 25:1-13.
Mat 25:1-13
1At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. 2Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them. 4The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps. 5The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep. 6At midnight the cry rang out: 'Here's the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!' 7Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish ones said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.' 9No, they replied, there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves. 10But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut. 11Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, Lord, Lord, open the door for us![NKJV]12But he replied, I tell you the truth, I don't know you. 13Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

10 virgins during the coming of Jesus mean the Christians who experienced the word of God and received Holy Spirit in whole world. But Mat chapter 25 said, only 50% among those received Holy Spirit will go up in the air and other 50% will remain of this earth. Now days many Christian lost their pure faith and filled with the Holy Spirit and they changed to like world people. But there are many Christians who remain to keep his chastity of faith to Jesus and faithful to Jesus and word of Jesus will fulfill as Mat chapter 25. Which is church your church? Which Christian you are? 5 wise virgins prepared oil and got rapture but 5 foolish virgins could not prepare oil and couldn’t get rapture. 5 foolish virgins heard coming of Jesus and prepared but couldn’t prepare until coming of Jesus and couldn’t get rapture. They prepared to meet Jesus and waited for Him but knowing their lacking and started to prepare again but they could not prepare enough and couldn’t get rapture. This is the big problem. Therefore we must prepare oil in advance and become like the 5 wise virgins who prepared well oil and met Jesus when He came and become bride of Jesus like them and go into New Jerusalem Holy City. I want to share the grace of God about this part in Mat chapter 25 next times with more details.


We will see continually the words in Matthew chapter 24 which has same meanings.
MAT 24:37-42
37As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. 42Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

In verse 40, there were 2 men working in the field and one got rapture and other one could not. If we explain it as it is, there are 2 workers work in the field and one will get rapture and other one will remain. It doesn’t mean that getting cheated by wrong church and throwing away business, job, and family and pray only and wait for Jesus. And we must explain this verse more deeply and spiritually. In verse 40 said “Two men will be in the field” and it means that servant of God and members of church doing God’s work.
Many people did God’s work but some servant of God and some members of church will get rapture but some cannot. Verse 41 is word just like verse 40. And Bible said to us “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.” in verse 42. What is the meaning of keep watch? It means that we must prepare always and wait to meet Jesus. We must not become evil servant of God who thinks that Jesus will come back late.(Mat 24:48) The meaning of keep watch is while worshiping God well, we watch and pray, evangelize, doing Gods work as talent in faith and love of God, and wait for Jesus.


Revelation chapter 1:7 talks about the figure of Jesus coming in the air and figure of people who saw Jesus coming.
Revelation 1:7
Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.[NKJV]

We must become the Christians who see the moment of Jesus coming with cloud and getting rapture. And we must not become Christians who sees the moment of Jesus coming with clouds and seeing other Christian disappear and remaining on earth with world people and crying together.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53 said when the last trumpets sounds, it talks about dead peoples resurrection and body changes in living people.

1 Corinthians 15:51-53
51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed--52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

If the last trumpet sounds, the people will rise from the dead and go up to Jesus first and alive Christians who was prepared as bride of Jesus will change their body that won’t rot and go up in the air to meet Jesus also. When Jesus comes back, our perishable body will be changed to imperishable body and go up into the air in the twinkling of an eye. Everybody will change to beautiful figure more than most beautiful figure on this earth. And we will no get sick, old and live forever with beautiful young figure with father God and bridegroom Jesus in New Jerusalem Holy City. Let’s go up in the air when Jesus comes in the air. And let’s go in to New Jerusalem Holy city.


Let’s see 1 Thessalonians 1:7-8, why must we get rapture when Jesus comes in the air?
1 Thessalonians 1:7-8
7and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.

Why must we get rapture when Jesus comes in the air? Because who couldn’t get rapture and remain on earth will receive punishments together with the world people. Because most of the Christians after the rapture will get into the hand of Anti Christ and receive beast mark and go to hell. Because only those who get rapture when Jesus comes in the air will go into New Jerusalem Holy City. We all prepare well to meet Jesus in the air and get rapture and go into New Jerusalem Holy City and live together with Jesus forever.


Next time, I will give words through bible on what we must do so that we can get rapture and go into New Jerusalem Holy City. I want the grace of Jesus and blessings of God to be with you everybody.

New Jerusalem Holy City 1

I will talk about New Jerusalem Holy City in revelation chapter 21-22. These are the words that I arrange from the preaching from 2010 in the church. The purpose of me writing about New Jerusalem Holy City is to let Christians know their purpose rather than non Christian’s salvation. Revelation tells us our last purpose the New Jerusalem Holy City and finishes revelation and the whole bible words. It is also correct for Christians to live with a purpose of going into heaven but their purpose must be going into New Jerusalem Holy City. New Jerusalem Holy City is the purpose for people who live on earth. I talk again but, New Jerusalem Holy City does not talks about whole heaven but the capital City of heaven. For helping people who reads these words, I will upload pictures about New Jerusalem Holy City that I’ve found from the internet. Who does not have hope of going to New Jerusalem Holy City, please have hope after reading this word.

Let us see the word that Jesus said to his disciples before the day He died on the cross to save us from sin and hell.
John 14:1-3
1 Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

Jesus who died on the cross, resurrected and ascended is building houses for us to live in New Jerusalem Holy City. I will show you some pictures for you to understand easily but Jesus will build more than our imagination of New Jerusalem Holy City. Jesus said that after He builds all houses for us, He will come back to bring us. In John 14: 3 “I will come back” means that he will come in the air. This Jesus’ word “I will take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” Means we will be together with Jesus in New Jerusalem Holy City.

But bible said there are people who couldn’t go into New Jerusalem Holy City.
Revelation 21:27
Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Why are there people who could not go into New Jerusalem Holy City? First, they are impure. Second, because they do shameful things. Third, they are deceitful and could not become bride of Jesus and could not go into New Jerusalem Holy City. When Jesus comes, He will give rewards but He will give us rewards as our deeds and that is why some people could not go into New Jerusalem Holy City.
Revelation 22:11-12
11 Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy. 12 Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done.

Jesus gives us reward according to our deeds. The reward that Jesus gives us is our position in heaven and our house in heaven. The houses in heaven are made of different materials, and size of the house is made according to the rank of a person and it is all in different places. We do not know well on how much we must love Jesus and do God’s work so that we will be rapture and go into New Jerusalem Holy City. We do not know well on how much we must evangelize so that we will be rapture and go into New Jerusalem Holy City. The most important thing is our true faith to God. If everybody believes Jesus truly, you will love Jesus and you will Respect and obey Him. If you will not believe Jesus truly, you cannot love, respect and obey Him. And if you believe in Jesus truly, you will love Jesus, respect and obey Him so that you will be rapture and go into New Jerusalem Holy City.

Jesus is preparing our house in New Jerusalem Holy City for us and what are you doing for your eternal life now? How are you preparing for your eternal life now? We must also prepare for going into New Jerusalem Holy City and to live in there so that we can get rapture and go into New Jerusalem Holy City. Jesus said if He prepared our house in heaven for us, He will come and take up us. Bible said that only the people who are prepared will meet Jesus in the air. And we must become the man like the 5 wise virgins that prepared in Mat chapter 25.

We will read the word about New Jerusalem Holy City.
Revelation 21:1-3
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.

God’s judgment has finished in revelation chapter 20. From revelation chapter 21 verse 1, it is said that ‘the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea’ and starts the word about heaven. And from revelation chapter 21, the words are not about this earth but heaven. But surprisingly, in revelation chapter 21 to 22, it only talks about New Jerusalem Holy City not outside of the City. Heaven and earth is also at the heaven of kingdom of God. Bible said, The Holy City, New Jerusalem coming down from heaven from God to heavens land.

We will read the word about New Jerusalem Holy City more.
Revelation 21:9-10
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.

Angel said to John ‘Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb’ but the angel did not show the bride and showed only Holy City, Jerusalem. And we believe the bride the wife of the Lamb will live in the Holy City, New Jerusalem. Who is the wife of the Lamb, Jesus? Wife of the lamb are those people who go up in the air when Jesus comes down from heaven to the air.

We will read the word about New Jerusalem Holy City more.
Revelation 21:11
It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.

Jewel can not shine lights in the darkness even if that jewel is good. The jewels shine lights beautifully in heaven because there is the light, glory of God. If there is no light, the glory of God, every jewel is like ordinary stones. But there is the glory of God and the jewel’s brilliance were like very precious jewel, like jasper, clear as crystal. We will live forever In God’s glory of light in New Jerusalem Holy City.

Verses 12-13 talks about twelve gates of New Jerusalem Holy City.
Revelation 21:12-13
12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west.

There are 12 gates on New Jerusalem Holy City and the angels are guarding those gates. On top of the gates, there are names of 12 tribes of Israel recorded. Israel’s tribes will use the gate of the city where their tribe names are written. And gentiles’ will become children of God and Abraham through believing in Jesus. (Rom4:16; Gal 3:7, 29) And there is gentiles’ bride of Jesus among the Christian and they will belong to one of the twelve tribes and will use the assigned gate. Please see the big pearl gate picture.

Verse 14 talks about the twelve foundation stones of New Jerusalem Holy City.
Revelation 21:14
And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them [were] the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. [NASV]

The wall of the New Jerusalem Holy City was made of twelve foundation stones. On the 12 foundation stones, the 12 apostles of Jesus’ names are recorded. Please look closely to the picture of walls of the gate of big pearl. These pictures cannot express 100% the bible but it will help in understanding the bible.

Revelation 21:15-16 talks about the size of New Jerusalem Holy City.
Revelation 21:15-16
15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long.

12,000 stadia is 1,500 mile. 1,500 mile is 2,400km. The length of this city is 2,400km, wide of 2,400km and height of 2,400km and they are all the same size. And I think the Holy City, New Jerusalem size is a bit smaller then the country, India.

Verse 17 talks about the thickness of the city wall.
Revelation 21:17
He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using.

144 cubits is about 65m. And the Holy City, New Jerusalem’s thickness of the wall is 65m.

Jesus is preparing our city to live and the wall is made of jasper, and the city was made of pure gold.
Revelation 21:18 said “The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.”

Revelation 21:19-20 talks about the materials used in foundation stones, and what kind of jewel it is.
Revelation 21:19-20
19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth, sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

Please look at this pictures of 12 foundation stones where 12 names of apostles of Jesus are written. Let us think that the walls are made of these valuable jewels and how much more for our houses inside new Jerusalem Holy City. We must become the 5 wise virgin and faithful and wise servant who give their food at the due season.(Mat 24:44-47; Mat 25:1-13)

Verse 21 said about 12 gates of pearls and the street of pure gold like transparent glass.
Revelation 21:21
The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.

The people who can pass these 12 gates are blessed people. But the bible said “anyone who wants can enter and drink the water of life”(Rev 22:17) Do you want to enter New Jerusalem Holy City and live with Father and Jesus forever and ever?(Rev 22:1-4)

Revelation 22:1-2 talks about the river, water of life and tree of life.
Revelation 22:1-2
1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

Look at the river of the water of life that flows from the throne of God. Bride of Jesus will drink this water of life. And it is said that, beside the river of the water of life, there is tree of life bearing twelve crops of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. Jesus is preparing this wonderful New Jerusalem Holy City for us. I want everyone to become the person who will enjoy drinking water from the river of the water of life and eats the fruit from the tree of life in New Jerusalem Holy City.

I gave words about New Jerusalem Holy City according to bible until now. Next time, I will give words about who will go into New Jerusalem Holy City and what should people do so that they can go into new Jerusalem Holy City.
I want the grace of Jesus and blessings of God to be with you everybody.

Verse 17 talks about the thickness of the city wall.
Revelation 21:17
He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using.

144 cubits is about 65m. And the Holy City, New Jerusalem’s thickness of the wall is 65m.

Jesus is preparing our city to live and the wall is made of jasper, and the city was made of pure gold.
Revelation 21:18 said “The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.”

Revelation 21:19-20 talks about the materials used in foundation stones, and what kind of jewel it is.
Revelation 21:19-20
19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth, sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

Please look at this pictures of 12 foundation stones where 12 names of apostles of Jesus are written. Let us think that the walls are made of these valuable jewels and how much more for our houses inside new Jerusalem Holy City. We must become the 5 wise virgin and faithful and wise servant who give their food at the due season.(Mat 24:44-47; Mat 25:1-13)

Verse 21 said about 12 gates of pearls and the street of pure gold like transparent glass.
Revelation 21:21
The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.

The people who can pass these 12 gates are blessed people. But the bible said “anyone who wants can enter and drink the water of life”(Rev 22:17) Do you want to enter New Jerusalem Holy City and live with Father and Jesus forever and ever?(Rev 22:1-4)

Revelation 22:1-2 talks about the river, water of life and tree of life.
Revelation 22:1-2
1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

Look at the river of the water of life that flows from the throne of God. Bride of Jesus will drink this water of life. And it is said that, beside the river of the water of life, there is tree of life bearing twelve crops of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. Jesus is preparing this wonderful New Jerusalem Holy City for us. I want everyone to become the person who will enjoy drinking water from the river of the water of life and eats the fruit from the tree of life in New Jerusalem Holy City.

I gave words about New Jerusalem Holy City according to bible until now. Next time, I will give words about who will go into New Jerusalem Holy City and what should people do so that they can go into new Jerusalem Holy City.
I want the grace of Jesus and blessings of God to be with you everybody.
