New Jerusalem?

[skypair]

What does this have to do with New Jerusalem being the bride and the church being the bride???

What it has to do with is your SPIRITUALIZATION of New Jerusalem. The church is NOT NJ -- we are GOING TO NJ. We are sending ahead the materials to built our particular "mansion," period.

The church is no more New Jerusalem that Israel is the new Jerusalem of Isa 64. Both are LITERAL places.

You really are like the woman in the "Medical Alert" commercial aren't you? "Fallen and you can't get up!" :tear:

Rev 3:12Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, [which is] new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and [I will write upon him] my new name.

You overcome NOW, by the blood of Jesus.

1Jo 5:4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, [even] our faith.

1Jo 5:5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

Not yet to come, but when we are "born again".

I believe that the Kingdom of God is both now (in a believer's heart) and to come (heaven). To the extent that the New Jerusalem can be defined as the Kingdom of God then I would say that the New Jerusalem is both now and to come.
