[:en]Thoughts from “Light to My Path” (12/29/17)[:]

[: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![:]
