The Revelation-Re.21:9-17 “The Lamb’s Wife”

GuidetohisWord

“And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof./ And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal./ And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.”(vv.15-17)

The length, breadth and height of the city makes it a cube. The multiples of 12 make the body as a commentary on what Adam said on awaking from his ‘deep’ sleep. “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh”(Ge.2:23-24).

The Revelation-Re.21:3-5 “True and Faithful”

GuidetohisWord

 “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.”(v.3)

John is physically bound to the isle of Patmos. He was banished there but in the world of the Spirit the decree of the Roman Emperor Domitian does not run there. These visions are the collation of St John’s life in the Spirit, and it has to do with the testimony of Jesus Christ which God gave him. Testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy and we can infer from this verse, ‘which must shortly come to pass.’ So the revelation of the Son God gives to Jesus Christ who signifies by his angel’. This angel is what represents his life in the Spirit…
