The Bible gives a beautiful and powerful description of the New Jerusalem, the holy city that God has prepared for His people. In Revelation 21–22, the Apostle John saw a vision of this glorious city coming down from heaven, shining with the glory of God.

In Revelation 21–22, the Apostle John saw a vision of this glorious city coming down from heaven, shining with the glory of God. The city is described as being incredibly large—about 1500 miles in length, width, and height—showing the greatness of God’s kingdom.
The city has twelve gates made of pearl, representing the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve foundations that bear the names of the twelve apostles. Its streets are made of pure gold, clear like glass. From the throne of God and the Lamb flows the River of the Water of Life, bringing eternal life and joy to all who live there.
On both sides of the river grows the Tree of Life, which produces twelve kinds of fruit and whose leaves bring healing. In this holy city, there will be no more sorrow, pain, or death, and there will be no need for the sun or moon, because the glory of God will shine forever.
The New Jerusalem is the eternal home prepared for those who follow Christ—a place of peace, glory, and everlasting life with God.
