Metaphor: Holy City Rev 21:2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, all arrayed like a bride beautified and adorned for her husband;
Rev 21:10 Then in the Spirit He conveyed me away to a vast and lofty mountain and exhibited to me the holy (hallowed, consecrated) city of Jerusalem descending out of heaven from God, [Ezek 40:2.]
Rev 22:19And if anyone cancels or takes away from the statements of the book of this prophecy [these predictions relating to Christ's kingdom and its speedy triumph, together with the consolations and admonitions or warnings pertaining to them], God will cancel and take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the city of holiness (purity and hallowedness), which are described and promised in this book. AMP
In the Holy City also known as the New Jerusalem or City of our God is the eternal home of those who serve God and please Him in their lifetime. It contains all that is good and pure including the tree of life.
May we seek with all of our minds, hearts and strength to please God each moment of our life here on the earth. May we be people of His Word and Ways so that we enjoy the promises of His goodness here and fight the good fight against all that God calls evil. May we one day here Him say, “Well done you who are a good and faithful servant.”
