LOOK! GOD’S DWELLING PLACE…
Revelation 21:1-22:5
Key verse: 21:3
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
What did John see and hear (1-4)? What glorious future do believers have? Why is it significant that God’s dwelling place is now among his people? When God dwells among his people what happens?
What did God declare (5-6a)? What assurance does God’s word give us? What promises does God give to those who are victorious (6b-7)? How does this encourage us in the midst of suffering?
How are evildoers specifically described (8)? What destiny awaits them and how does this challenge the godlessness and wickedness of our times?
What did the angel show John (9-14)? What makes the city brilliant? What do the wall, the twelve gates and the twelve foundations signify? How is the size and beauty of the city described (15-21)? What do the precious stones signify (14; Eph 2:19-20)?
What was the key function of the temple and why is it no longer necessary (22; Ex 25:22; Jn 1:14; Heb 10:19-21)? Why does the city not need the sun or moon (23; 22:5)? What do the nations do (24-26)? Who can enter this city (27)?
What other scene did the angel show John (22:1-5)? What do the water of life and the tree of life tell us about God (Gen 2:9-14; Eze 47:8-12)? What kind of relationship does God have with his people?
