“Understanding the Kingdom of God” Lesson 27 – Jerusalem Above

When people think of Jerusalem they think of the city in Israel. Much of the New Testament was centered in and near Jerusalem.

However, the Bible also speaks of the Heavenly city called New Jerusalem. It is referred to as “the mother of us all”. It is the city of the great King Jesus. The Bible calls it the city of the great king (Rev. 3:12). Our names are registered there.

The Church is on earth. Therefore, the Church is not our mother. Our new birth comes from God as He alone can give anyone His Holy Spirit.

In eternity the saved shall enter the New Jerusalem.
