IGLESIA ADVENTISTA DEL SEPTIMO DIA HISPANA BERLIN:
THE NEW JERUSALEM
(Merry Christmas, 2014)
BIBLE READINGS:
Chapter 21 of Revelation.
21:1 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.
4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."
6 He said to me: "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.
7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.
8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars-- their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."
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.
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.
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.
14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
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.
17 He measured its wall and it was 144 cubits thick, by man's measurement, which the angel was using.
18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass.
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.
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.
22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.
25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there.
26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it.
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.
Introduction:
The New Jerusalem, is the Corporate consummation of the Economy of the Triune God, in all His Huiós, since the creation of man.
The New Jerusalem is the corporate expression of the Spirit of the Triune God, whereby He can be expressed in all of creation.
This Corporation, contains all the fullness of the Spirit of the Triune God.
Many have a misconception of the New Jerusalem. Some think it is a physical city. That in the near future, it will come down from heaven, and will be above the territory, that the Spirit of God promised to Abraham.
Others think that the New Jerusalem is not a physical place, they think is in heaven, but it is a "place to be".
The scripture says of Her in Revelation 21:9:11;
9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.
10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city of Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God.
By this verse we can clearly understand, that the New Jerusalem, is not a physical thing, lifeless or just a site, in heaven.
The New Jerusalem is the ultimate expression of the Economics of the Spirit of the Triune God, is the "Bride", the "Spouse of the Lamb" which is made up, of “thousand thousands”, of all the Huiós of the Spirit of the Triune God, that will “ministered unto him” as Kings and Priests.
She represents all His fullness, and represents the final consummation of all His work, in all the Glorious Huiós of Spirit of God, to express Herself in Love, in all His creation, for all the eternity.
Each part of the heart of a Huiós the Spirit of God, in the New Jerusalem, will be containing, a full portion of the Spirit of the Triune God, which completely fills his New Heart. They are part of a Spiritual unit, in one spirit, representing the Economic expression of the Spirit of the Triune God, whereby He can express Himself.
That is why in Revelation 21: 3,4, says:
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them; They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes; and will be no more death, no more sorrow, nor crying, nor pain; for the former things are passed away.
The New Jerusalem is the tabernacle of the Spirit of the Triune God, where He is dwelling. He has occupy every part of the heart of all His Huiós, fully formed in them, filling all their hearts, to be His permanent abode, for all the eternity, to establish through them, His Eternal Kingdom, which now can be expressed fully and eternally.
But that's not all, as indicated in Revelation 21:22,
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty is the temple of it, and the Lamb.
And here something truly amazing and extraordinary, not only their Huiós dwell with the Spirit of the Triune God is their hearts, for all eternity, expressing the Will of the Spirit; The writing saying, "The Lord Almighty is the Temple of Her, and the Lamb" this means, that all His Huiós, are placed in the Triune Spirit of the Almighty God, together with the Glorified Body of the Lamb, and the Spirit of the Father.
The New Jerusalem is then, the mutual indwelling of the Spirit of the Triune God in all His Huiós, by the embodied Spiritual Body of the Lamb.
The idea that believers, after death, go to heaven to be with the Lord, is pretty shameful and measly, when compared with the reality of the Scriptures. One thing is to be with the Lord, and the other, being the mutual abode of all their Huiós, in the Spirit of Almighty God; He in us and we in Him.
They have a wonderful eternal purpose, for all Huiós, which empowered the Spirit of the Triune God, to be form in their hearts by faith, on their experience on this earth, will have the most honorable and praiseworthy dwelling, for all the eternity.
But what a great tragedy will be, for the “ten thousand times ten thousand” of His Nefios, that will stay in a unaccomplished state for all the eternity, unable to be part of this wonderful Spiritual Body, and having to live in the outer courts of the New Jerusalem, and having to eat from the Tree of Life, to live on, because they did not want to discard all their vanity in their hearts, and have not allowed the Spirit of the Triune God to fill their entire being. These are the Nations symbolized in Revelation 21: 24-27; 22: 1,2,
24 And the nations shall walk by its light; and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it.
25 Its gates will never be shut by day: for there shall be no night.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it.
27 Do not enter into it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie: but they which are written in the book of life of the Lamb.
22: 1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
2 In the middle of the city street, and on either side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
For, all this multitude, certainly going to heaven, is like going to stay with the Spirit of God, but in reality, by not having Him, formed in their hearts, nor to be fully in Him, neither He to be fully in them. All of them, will never have access to enter, in the Holy City. They will be the ones that enter in the Kingdom, only by fire.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire
In Revelation 21:2, we notice that the New Jerusalem, is not to stay in heaven, it says:
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
His dwelling place will be the New Earth.
All Huiós of the Spirit of the Triune God, of all times, once caught up into heaven, will come through the doors of the New Jerusalem thought the North, South, East and West.
The doors symbolically, are represented with twelve precious and exquisite pearls, as it says in Revelation 21:21,
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls; each gate was a pearl.
The Pearls, symbolize Christ's death and all His Huiós with Him. The heart of an oyster once wounded, is transformed into a precious pearl in the oyster. This is what the Pearls symbolize, the product of the Economics of the Spirit of the Triune God, in the heart of all His Huiós, after the accomplished work of the Spirit.
On each side, the New Jerusalem, there are three gates, which also symbolize the Spirit of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, for they all participated in the Economics, in the building, of the New Jerusalem.
This is the New Jerusalem, the Heavenly Jerusalem, The Holy City, The Tabernacle of God's Spirit, and the City Above.
When all Huiós, once entered through the gates, they will form the entire New Jerusalem, a spirit living body in one and only spirit.
Once the Spirit of the Triune God, will produce a New Heaven and a New Earth, She will descend from Heaven, to dwell in the New Earth, and not in heaven, as many think.
It is not a physical lifeless or inert city, it is the product of "Zoe" of the Spirit of the Triune God, the product of the most precious and wonderful Nature of the Spirit of the Triune God; His full finishes Economy labor.
It’s the live economic Corporation, of the full "Zoe" the Spirit of God, which He will shelter all the fullness of the expression of the Spirit, fully saturated of His Divine Nature.
The New Jerusalem, will be the dwelling place of the Spirit of the Triune God, with all His Huiós with Him, in order to be able to express His Love in all creation for all the eternity, for ever and ever.
THE WALL
Having the Spirit of Christ formed in the hearts, in all His Huiós by faith, the Spirit can now produce, the full "Zoe" with the Nature, of Spirit of the Triune God in them. This is taught by symbols in Revelation 21:18, which say:
18 The construction of its wall was jasper; but the city was, like clear glass pure gold;
The material used for the wall of the New Jerusalem is Jasper. Jasper is dark green precious stone, and represents the "Zoe" Divine in its fullness. Everything we see in Nature that is green, has life. Thus, the wall of the New Jerusalem, is the image of the reality of the "Zoe" of the Spirit of the Triune God, because only the Spirit of the Triune God can produce the "Zoe".
Symbols also, describe His color, as in Revelation 4: 3 which say:
3 And He who sat there was like jasper and carnelian; and had about a rainbow throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
Meanwhile the jasper represent the “Zoe” of Crist, in all His beauty and splendor, the carnelian represent the work of His blood.
In the gates of the wall, are written, the names of the 12 tribes of Israel, as it says in Revelation 21:12,
12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates; and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel;
The twelve tribes of Israel here represent in the New Jerusalem, which signifies all the Saints of the Old Testament, as the guardians at the gates.
The twelve tribes of Israel are indicating to the Eternal Law of God. With the Law as a guardian at all the twelve doors, ensures, that whoever enters through the doors, meets the requirements of the Eternal Law of God, which only can be produced, by the work of the Spirit. On the wall we notice two codes:
First: The 12 Apostles on the foundations of the walls. They are symbolizing the faith as the pillar base, whereby the Huiós the Spirit of God, can be Born Again, and have the right to enter the Kingdom of God.
Second: The twelve tribes of Israel, in the 12 gates, ensure that all Huiós entering the Holy City have formed the Spirit of Christ processed in their hearts by faith and by the work of the Spirit. This meets the requirements of purity in all His Huiós by the Holy Law of God, in there live experience.
THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE WALL
The foundations of the walls, is symbolizing the Spirit which was first formed in the Church through faith, in the twelve Apostles, as it says in Revelation 21:14,
14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
15 And he that talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its wall.
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is equal to its width; and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs; the length, width and height of it are equal.
17 And he measured its wall, one hundred forty-four cubits, the measure of man, which is of an angel.
18 The construction of its wall was jasper; but the city was, like clear glass pure gold;
19 and the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every precious stone.
The mention of the Twelve Apostles, denotes that the New Jerusalem is not only composed of the Old Testament Saints, but also on the basis of the first fruits of the Church, the Apostles, which they had all formed the Spirit of Christ Processed in their New Hearts. The Spirit of Christ processed formed in the hearts of all his Huiós through faith, is the second foundation, to be able to enter in the New Jerusalem.
The Apostles represent the Grace of the Spirit of God, which is the Spirit. Grace is the Spirit of Christ, which is the only true foundation and essence, in the New Jerusalem.
The precious stones, symbolize the sanctifying work of the Spirit of God to form the Spirit of Christ in the heart of all His Huios. Not only the Lord sees us as Jasper externally, overwhelmed by the "Zoe" the Spirit of God, He also sees us, as Precious Stones, witch characteristics are reaching every detail of the "Zoe" we have received on our experience.
GOLDEN CANE
A cane is used to measure, especially when you take possession. The Holy City, is made of Gold. Gold represents the Nature of the Spirit of God. The measurement made with the golden cane, symbolizes that everything is measured, is only what consist of the nature, of the Spirit of God. Everything is immaculate, and found perfect, and complete, not lacking absolutely anything. Measurements of the Holy City represent the fullness of the Spirit of the Triune God in His Economics work.
Because the New Jerusalem, represents the processed Body of Christ, the Huiós, once they had the Spirit of Christ formed in their hearts, will symbolically, have the outward appearance, being as green as the jasper, because they have the "Zoe", formed in them. The inside, will be pure gold, like clear glass, symbolizing absolute perfection.
In eternity, of the New Jerusalem, express all the riches of "Zoe" the Spirit of God Almighty.
INSIDE THE CITY
In Revelation 21:18 it says,
18 The construction of its wall was jasper; but the city was, like clear glass pure gold;
If we now consider the inside of Holy City, which is within the wall made of jasper precious stone, we notice that it is made entirely of Pure Gold, like unto clear glass. Pure gold, symbolically represents the Nature Spirit of the Triune God. This can only symbolize the eternal reality of all Huiós of the Spirit of God.
It’s the representation of the whole fullness of the Spirit of the Triune Nature of God, being the City of New Jerusalem, the symbol of Corporate Body Spirit Christ of His Economy.
The Celestial City, is completely transparent, there is no imperfection in the Huiós of the Spirit of God. Not only all His Body has been redeemed, but has been able to contain, the fullness of God's essence in its economic work. Something that is deny even to the angels, and is the main reason to the angel's betrayal.
Outside of the Celestial City, its walls are made of jasper precious stone, symbolizing the "Zoe" of the Spirit of the Triune God.
Inside is made of pure gold, like clear glass, symbolizing the Nature of the Spirit of the Triune God.
This is how the Spirit of the Triune God, he sees his all His Huiós.
There are many groups call themselves "Christians", that because of their false humility, they considered themselves as sinners. But in reality, the Spirit of the Triune God, see His Huiós, who are allowing the Spirit to progress in the occupation of their hearts, with an appearance of Jasper precious stone, outside, and of Pure Gold, like clear glass inside. This is the true reality of all Huiós of the Spirit of the Triune God.
¡Brothers and sisters, if we all we could have this revelation in our heart! I’m certain, that we would be totally different from the world, and certainly this would be a huge incentive, to want to live in this world, in our Spiritual Reality.
If we think that we are sinners, we will feel, always guilty. The conscience of a Huiós of the Spirit of the Triune God, must never feel guilty, because of the blood of Christ, he must see himself like de Spirit of God see him. If we think that Jasper is our color outside, and fine gold like clear glass inside, with a glorious Real Hope, that the Lord will finish the work, that He has begun in us, we could certainly find new strength, and enough faith, to chase the target, with much more enthusiasm and hope. WE will be able to dismiss by faith, all our vanity, and let the Spirit to be formed in us.
The Apostol Paul makes this comment in Ga. 4:19,
19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,
Before the Cross, our heart was occupied by the spirits of Satan and his demons, now, after the Cross, our spirit is occupied by the Spirit of the Triune God, with the final perspective, if we let aside all our Vainglory by faith, that He will advance to occupy too, all our soul, that our body, can finally express, His Divine Grace, for His Glory, in this world and in the next.
The eternal Plan of the Spirit of the Triune God, is that the processed Body of Christ, through thousands upon thousands of His Huiós, will have the processed Spirit of Christ, formed in their New Hearts, so that they can be His eternal expression and their mutual abode.
The New Jerusalem, is a symbol of the processed Spirit of the Body of Christ, as is the Church, the Golden Candlestick, the Vine, the Bride of the Lamb, and the Overcomers, among many others. The New Jerusalem is the fulfillment of Genesis 1:26 says:
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
In Genesis, we see the initial purpose of the Spirit of the Triune God by forming the man.
Finally, in Revelation, we see thousands of thousands of Huiós in a Corporation, overflowing the fullness of the Spirit of the Triune God, formed in their hearts, and with the full capacity to express the Spirit of the Triune God, for eternity, in all the creation.
This was the original plan that the Spirit of the Father made. The plan, which the Spirit of the Son managed to make a reality, and where the Spirit could accomplish.
Brothers and sisters, much more can be said about the New Jerusalem, because it is the expression of the whole economy of the Spirit of God, and this is an infinite matter. My purpose, was not to write all about it, rather give a little brushstroke, so that we can appreciate a bit, the grandeur and magnificence of the Spirit of the Triune God.
Brothers and sisters, He had a wonderful plan for the man that He created. Despite all the difficulties, He knew how to carry it over. This ending is incredibly amazing, unique and real. If only we could see the reality of this ending so Glorious, I wonder:
“How could we go on living in our petty Vanity and to be hostile, to His surpassing plan?”
I am dumbfounded to see this Great Work betray. There is no natural strength in me, to pursue a life of rebellion, no more. I feel totally sold at the mercy of the Spirit of the Triune God.
My tears abound in my cheeks, thinking that billions and billions of peoples, are still living in this world, following the Law of knowledge of good and evil, in total rebellion to the Lord.
I am also sad, for the millions and millions, who will represent the Nations, outside the New Jerusalem, in the eternal state, because all these persons, will only have the Spirit of the Triune God, in a part of their heart, and for this reason, they will never have access and be able to enter in the Holy City.
Either the first, or the second group, are now completely trapped and slaves by the deception and trickery of Satan and all his demons. Some before the Cross of Christ, and the other after it.
Brothers and sisters, you who have Born Again, the second group, which still does not have the life-giving Spirit formed in yours hearts, you are the ones, that could have more chances, to able to enter through the gates of the New Jerusalem.
I beg you, that by faith, you can free from your heart, all your Vanity, and allow the Spirit of "Zoe" of Christ, forming in your hearts, so that one day soon, you could enjoy all the Grace of the Spirit of Triune God.
This is my wish for you, in this Christmas day.
To Him be all the Glory for ever and ever, Amen!
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT, AND WHAT WILL YOU DO, ABOUT IT?
