New Jerusalem (2 of 5)
Series: Heaven

Revelation 21:9-21
William Penn expanded the small town of Philadelphia along the Delaware river to about 2 square miles in 1682. Streets were laid out in a grid system with the idea that the city would be more like rural English towns rather than the crowed English cities. The homes would be spread out from one another and surrounded
with gardens, orchards and parks. Instead of living in crowed
housing the people would enjoy fresh air and nature.
It was laid out as perfectly as one could want on this earth.
Instead of streets turning left or right they were all straight.
Today you can stand on a street and see for a long distance.
The streets running north and south were numbered while the streets running east and west were named after local trees:
Vine, Cherry, Chestnut, Walnut, Locust, Spruce, Pine.

streets were straight and anyone could figure out where
they were and what direction they needed to go.
Heaven is laid out in as a cube because it is perfect.
E.M. Bounds - ''Earth is but a pilgrim's stay, a pilgrim's journey,

God-built, whose foundations are as stable as God's throne.''
Bride - perfection :9
Bride - is a title originally given to the believers (19:7) which now includes all the redeemed throughout all ages, who will live there.
John MacArthur - ''The New Jerusalem is likened to a bride because the redeemed are forever united to God and the Lamb.''
The hymn Now I Belong to Jesus expresses it this way:
Jesus, my Lord, will love me forever. From Him no power
of evil can sever. He gave his life to ransom my soul;
Now I belong to him. Now I belong to Jesus, Jesus belongs to me;
Not for the years of time alone, but for eternity.
Glory - projected :10-11
From his vantage point he is able to explain what he saw.
