Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

2 Esdras 10:51. That was why I told you to 52 stay in a field where no house stood, for I knew that the Most High intended 53 to send you this revelation. I told you to come to this field, where no 54 foundation had been laid for any building; for in the place where the city of the Most High was to be revealed, no building made by man could stand. 55 'Have no fear then, Ezra, and set your trembling heart at rest; go into the city, and see the magnificence of the buildings, so far as your eyes have 56 power to see it all.

2 Esdras 5:42 He said to me, 'I will compare the judgement to a circle: the latest will not be too late, nor the earliest too early.' 43 To this I replied, 'Could you not have made all men, past, present, and future, at one and the same time? Then you could have held your assize 44 with less delay.' But he answered, 'The creation may not go faster than the Creator, nor could the world support at the same time all those created to live on it.'

When God kicked out Babylon, Lucifer, and their angels (children) from Heaven they fell into the bottomless pit prison through which the planet earth orbits around the sun.  God had engaged this Wicked family in a challenge about His own family.  They said that they would show God that His children would behave just like they did upstairs if God would them to be face to face.  They reasoned that God would have to destroy His own children too for the same crimes for which He has promised to destroy them by fire.

Consider our HEADLINE text.  John in vision saw Jerusalem the Holy City descending from Heaven to the earth.  How is this viewing possible, since Heaven is the Holy City and the earth is too small to contain it?  In fact God has called the earth “my footstool”. Isaiah 66:1.  But the Kingdom of devils confined to the bottomless pit-prison has observed the Holy City as it landed on the planet earth!  That is a STUNNING allegation.  In fact it seems to be UNBELIEVABLE!  If you could ask devils they might say I just wrote a LIE!!  They have not seen the Holy City descending anywhere!  Perhaps John’s vision was a figment of a stressed mind and should be dismissed as hyperbole.  Not so fast!  Here is how God is doing this.

As you know God created His children as paired (married) twins in Mother’s womb “in one day”, the great 4th Creation Day, Isaiah 66:7-11, Genesis 1:14-19.  I trust that you understand that we are God’s “star-children”!  While Mother was BIG in pregnancy Her large womb was just like a “city” and all the infant spirits inside were resident citizens inside it.  When Father brought us to birth on the fourth day, He placed the great bulk of our numbers in His nursery to be placed in clay wombs of daughters on earth in a series of GENERATIONS.  When God sows the infant spirits in the clay wombs of his daughters in the “fields of the earth”, He PARTS the PAIRED (married) children.

Scriptures have also likened the body of mankind to “the temple of God”, 2 Corinthians 6:16.  We are God’s husbandry and we are His building in which He dwells, 1 Corinthians 3:9.

From the scriptures above, we see that Heaven, the New Jerusalem and Holy City is so massive that it cannot descend upon the planet earth.  It would actually crush the planet.  Also the numbers of the children is so massive that we all cannot fit on the planet earth at the same time.  But there is an elegant explanation of the TRUTH in John’s vision.

Men have also been described in parables as “lively stones”, 1 Peter 2:5, Isaiah 51:1, and “trees of righteousness”, Isaiah 61:3, the very construction materials God uses to rebuild the City and its walls above.

So the birth and death of men throughout the generations of men and time has been the means by which Father has SHOWN THE CITY ON EARTH gradually, stone by stone, timber by timber, and house by house.  Who could have figured this out?  No one could have guessed it, not even the Powers of Darkness.  But a super-shrewd Father has sent down His entire “Holy City” as a married bride disguised in clay suits and gift-wrap to face devils in their earth-stage prison.  The City is DESCENDING as each man is born in his given generation.  The City is RE-PAIRED as God reaps the children at death and PAIRS them as they enter the Arch (wings or Orders of the Archangels), each male with his given female partner who was co-created with him.

In the HEADLINE the City is dressed in white as she descends.  Clean white linen is the description of righteousness, Revelation 19:8.  We were created as “Holiness to the Lord”, a holy nation.  What devils do to men via sin works in this life does not and cannot change our status in the eyes of our Creator.  Even if humans are seen by angels in “the very act of sin”, THAT DOES NOT CHANGE OUR STATUS before our Father.  Look at this scenario with Jesus and an adulterous woman:

John 8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. 7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. 12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them.

Isaiah 43:4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.

2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Acts 10:28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

As you can see nothing that devils have done to men while in this life can change our created STATUS and GLORY with Him.  Despite what devils have done to men in all our generations, He says, “Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee”.  If you ask blind human preachers their opinion, they will disagree and say, men are not precious and very dishonorable in the same way as the Pharisees reacted to the woman caught in the very act of adultery.  But the Father is greater than Jesus.  He does not say, “Go and sin no more”.  Observe the GREATNESS OF FATHER-GOD: “He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them”.  He does not even see His children as “unholy”, even while devils exercise them in the very act of sin.  Our status in His sight remains just the way He created us, “Holiness to the Lord”, no matter what devils do to us.  But when He draws men back to Heaven via the reaping process (resurrection) the following happens frequently:

Luke 15:20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him. 21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son. 22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet: 23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry: 24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

So the kingdom of devils have been observing the Holy City Jerusalem descend from Heaven to this earth as a bride dressed in white albeit cloaked in flesh.  This revelation of the Holy City, Jerusalem, has been going on for a very long time!  After abusing the human lively stones and trees of righteousness for an average of “three score and ten years”, the Holy City returns invisibly for RE-PAIRING in Heaven.

Psalm 50:16 But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? 17 Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. 18 When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. 19 Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. 20 Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. 21 These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes.

This goes to show you no matter how wise we think we are, no man can figure out what the Word of God means.  He has to tell us what it means when He is ready for men to understand it.  Praise God!

Tell me what are Israelis, Palestinians, Christians, Catholics, Americans and Jews fighting over?  That piece of rocky real estate that Jews are trying to pack with as many Jews as possible is not the returning diaspora.  Lobbing bombs and killing one another and annexing territory by force is NOT THE PLAN God has for his “Holy City”.  “Abraham looked for a City not made with hands whose builder and maker is God”.  And the diaspora is returned to its height as fast as God draws up the spirits of men when they die.  Christians, Jews, and politicians on earth are engaged in folly and ridiculous behavior because they don’t have a clue about what God means by “My Holy City, Jerusalem”.  That patch of ground they are fighting over IS NOT HOLY to God!  He PLANS to burn it with the planet Earth! Isaiah 24.

Glorify God!

God did it!
