4 things that won’t be there:
Rev. 22-27
- No Sanctuary - Rev. 22: Why no temple? Because the sanctuary localizes and confines God to 1 location…but all Heaven will be filled w/ His glory!
- No Shadows - Rev. 23: The light will be everywhere, the night will be vanquished!
- No Secrets - Rev. 24: We live in a war.
- No sinners.
This is the capital of the eternal kingdom. God has, by this time, destroyed our universe, our heaven and earth, and this is a new one. And this is the capital city!
Will there be room for everyone? Sure! First of all, not as many will be there as is commonly believed. [“narrow is the way, few there be that find it.”] But it will be 1,500 miles squared…a perfect cube…in other words, it’s that high, that long, that wide! There would be room for every human who has ever lived if they had all been saved.
