[:en]Scripture Reading: Revelation 21:15-27
Biblical truth: “Twelve” is a symbolic number in the book of Revelation. There were twelve tribes of Israel (v. 12). Twelve Apostles of the Lamb (v. 14), the city plan measured 12 x 12000 stadia. There were twelve gates with twelve pearls (v. 21) and the High Priest was wearing a breastplate set with twelve precious stones on his heart, each engraved with the name of one of the twelve tribes (Exo. 28:15-21) The city does not need for a temple nor for the light of the sun or the moon. The presence of the glory of God outshines them all.
Personal Application: In the meantime, as we await for the true encounter with God, let us remain in Jesus, who in His person embodies the true Temple.
Prayer: Dear Lord, restore Jerusalem in our days![:]
