Episode 059 - Revelation Revealed - The city of God's glory

Remember that God chooses to use literal things that are symbols.
The cross we see behind many pulpits is literal, but it is also a
symbol of the death of Jesus. It is both literal and symbolic at
the same time. So, all through Revelation, we find the blending
of the literal and symbolic.


Personally, I do believe there will be an actual city of
incredible brilliance and glory, located somewhere above or
within the atmosphere of the earth, but at the same time the city
symbolizes activities and relationships that are going on within
the community of the redeemed.


So we need to look a little more deeply into the symbolism to
interpret these verses correctly...
