HE truth is
overlooked that it is “ready to be revealed in the last time-even at
the appearing of Jesus Christ.” 1Pe 1:4,7. The heavenly city,
the new Jerusalem, cometh down from God out of heaven. Re
21:2. This city is not entered at death, when the “thoughts perish.”
It is in the new earth “wherein dwelleth righteousness,” that the
tabernacle of God shall be with men, where the Lamb shall lead us to
fountains of living waters and God shall wipe away all tears from
our eyes. Alas! how has the vision of the glorious things spoken of
the city of God been obscured by a mystical theology! It is high
time to protest against this spiritualizing away the truth which
“the Holy Ghost teacheth.”
