Assembly of the lord

Metaphor: Assembly of the Lord
Concept: The dwelling place of the Lord is reserves for those written in the lamb’s book of life and there is no place for the impure, shameful or deceitful.

Micah 2:5, therefore you shall have no one to cast a line by lot upon a plot [of ground] in the assembly of the Lord. AMP
Revelation 21:22-27, 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. NIV

Those who have committed themselves to God according to His mysterious and previously hidden plan through Jesus the messiah are a part of and therefore dwell in and a part of His assembly are made righteous and pure by His grace.
