It is almost useless reading this if you haven't gone through THE TRUE STORY OF LIFE BASED ON REASONING first because all symbols used in the book of revelation are interpreted in the story. things like: 7, double sides/two edges, lamb, beast, dragon, sea, earth, 7 heads, 10 horns, sun, moon, star, Micheal etc. you wouldn't expect me to start afresh. I am going straight to the point now.
Wait! you are missing something! Click here to read the true story of life based on reasoning!
After the death of the Christ, he sent his holy spirit to impact knowledgeable about the truth because the great enemy has finally been defeated and the enemy's secrecy defied! the book of revelation is trying to tell us whom this enemy is, the enemy's secrecy, the defiance of this secrecy, the freedom achieved for mankind as a result of the defiance of this secrecy, how the enemy was defeated, the people that fought to defeat this enemy and the fate of the enemy after her defeat.
YOU DON'T KNOW, DO YOU?
Rev 21
A New Heaven and a New Earth
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, “Look! God’s
dwelling place is now among the people, 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. 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 the thirsty I will give water without cost from the
spring of the water of life.
7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be
their God and they will be my children.
8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the
sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all
liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the
second death.”
The New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb
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 The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was
144 cubits thick.
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 agate, the fourth emerald,
20 the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the
eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, 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 gold, as pure as 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.
Interpretation
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.” Then a new existence replaced the old one and nothing again was a
mystery.
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, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now
among the people, 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. There will be no more death’ or mourning or
crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” (and from verse5-8) This is the
interpretation: The work of recreation was done! the new destiny of me was well
prepared to be owned by me. This new destiny will become my true call which
will console me for all pain and mysery me acquired from the old destiny. The
new destiny will change the order of things. It will reveal the purpose of my
existance and will never let me abandon my purpose. It will also unite me and God and make us one
happy family.

This is the interpretation:
the first talked about the new destiny about to be owned by me(new existence), now these verses talk about the me (new existence) who is about to
be owned by the new destiny. The measuring, gold silver etc are just a riddle.
