Revelation 21:22-27 ~ those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life

Revelation 21:22-27

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, 25 and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.

26 They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb's book of life.

Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Serve the Lord with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!

3 Know that the Lord, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!

5 For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.


The Lord's Presence. You do realize when you read Revelation, God looks less and less like George Burns.

God inhales our prayers, Revelation says. Coincidentally - we, the people, have recently found our sense of smell is large part of learning. Before we feel too disconnected from God's above Heavenly Throne, described with 12 Thrones and just like this photo. Let us remember we are made in the image of God before Adam had his rib removed for companionship, care, warmth and love. And let us remember in Genesis Chapter One - God speaks many words. Recently the Big Bang Theory has become multiple Bangs.

Perhaps God, who favored Jesus to return to Him in physical body, Is something like aspects of Morgan Freeman and George Burns, after all. 3,000 pages of the Scriptures and not once does He invite us to help Him judge others. He might just have a monopoly on being Creator of the Universe. I do think its entirely possible when we move, live and dwell with HIM - we are actually saying that He IS the Universe. Not far away at all. We live within Him.

How many gates would be required to meet us our need for our senses to be assured of Him???

The Almighty Revelation 1:8

.

Images of Heaven are illusive. Jesus told us they would be. Yet to those departed in the Lord:

Matthew 13
1 And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

To those departed to His Kingdom. And those living His Path, Jesus says:

John 20:29
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Only one gate is needed. Believe in Jesus Christ.
