GOD’S ETERNAL PLAN

The Holy City, New Jerusalem,  a Golden Palace, having the Glory of GOD.

The Dwelling Place of GOD in His fullness as Father, Son & Holy Spirit. JESUS will be King of Kings and Lord of Lords, together with His Holy Bride, the Glorified Church. 
It will be the Head Office and Administrative Headquarters of the Kingdom of GOD over His entire Universe, the New Heavens, the Glory, Magnitude and Population of which will only be fully revealed in the ages to come and of which we have only the vaguest idea at the present time..

  There the multitudes of the redeemed will dwell who will rule and reign with Christ for ever & ever.

It will be a Kingdom of Love, Beauty, Joy, Laughter, Holiness, and of every genuine pleasure which GOD’S great Heart of wisdom and knowledge will devise. 
We get some glimpse of the joy of it when we read in Song of Solomon 2-8, “Behold He cometh, leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills”.  Joy & Bliss untold !

The size of the city is immense!  It measures 1500 x 1500 x 1500 miles wide, deep & high;  if  it were located over Australia or the USA it would cover almost ¾ of there land area as shown in the picture below. 

It’s cubic capacity would be 3,375 Million cubic miles, and if it’s levels were 1 mile apart would have a surface area of 3,375 million sq. miles.  By comparison, the total land area of the Earth is approx. 59 million sq. miles, and almost 1/3^rd of this is uninhabitable.

It will be suspended somewhere over the New Earth and will be the source of its heat and light for ever and ever and the kings of the Earth will bring their glory and honour into it.
