But the greatest thing in Heaven is not the City with its gates of pearl, massive walls or foundations of precious stones. Streets of gold pale in comparison to the Heaven that is in Heaven! Beyond the glory of the city itself, we have Jesus who is the Light of the World! In verse twenty-three John tells us, “The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.”
The prophet Isaiah had predicted in Isaiah 60:19 “The sun shall no longer be your light by day, Nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you; But the LORD will be to you an everlasting light, And your God your glory.
In the New Jerusalem there will be no electric lights, no power generators, no lamps of any kind because they are unnecessary. The presence of light will radiate throughout the city and it will emanate from the Lamb who sits upon the throne.
The brilliance of the glory of Jesus the Son of God will fill the city. As well as each of our eternal souls! I hope and pray you and all of yours are preparing for LIFE IN THE NEW JERUSALEM !
