Hebrews 11:10
King James Version
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations,
whose builder and maker is God.
For all who are weary of this world.
For all who have nothing in this world.
For all who are tired of the world's deception.
There is something magnificent to look forward to.
There will be a city, promised by GOD.
Of such glory, beauty, and magnificence.
No earthly palace, nor city, can compare.
Who can live there?
All who are born again in CHRIST.
All who love GOD, and believe in JESUS.
All who have dropped all sin, foolishness, and wickedness.
All who have repented of their evil deeds.
All who long for what only GOD can give.
All who listen to, and walk with SPIRIT.
All who have held on, to the end.
We may have troubles today.
We may be persecuted today.
We may be exhausted today.
But we must keep on.
We must keep the faith in CHRIST.
We must endure all our temporary afflictions.
Matthew 24:13
King James Version
13 But he that shall endure unto the end,
the same shall be saved.
2 Corinthians 4:16-17
King James Version
16 For which cause we faint not;
but though our outward man perish,
yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17 For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory;
That magnificent city will come.
Apostle John saw it.
He was given the vision.
And here's what to expect.
After the last battle where CHRIST triumphs.
And evil will be no more:

to a great and high mountain,
and shewed me that great city,
the holy Jerusalem,
descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God:

even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

and the length is as large as the breadth:
and he measured the city with the reed,
twelve thousand furlongs.
The length and the breadth and the height of it
are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof,
an hundred and forty and four cubits,
according to the measure of a man,
that is, of the angel.

and on either side of the river,
was there the tree of life,
which bare twelve manner of fruits,

for the healing of the nations.
Revelation 22:3-4

For these CANNOT enter the city's gates:

which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death.

that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city.

and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Revelation 22:19

from the words of the book of this prophecy,
God shall take away his part out of the book of life,
and out of the holy city,
and from the things which are written
in this book.
Be aware that the time is "at hand".
GOD's angel declares:

These sayings are faithful and true:
and the Lord God of the holy prophets
sent his angel to shew unto his servants
the things which must shortly be done.
Revelation 22:10-11
King James Version
10 And he saith unto me,
Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book:
for the time is at hand.

and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still:
and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still:
and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
JESUS declares:
Revelation 22:7
King James Version
7 Behold, I come quickly:
blessed is he that keepeth the sayings
of the prophecy of this book.

the first and the last.

King James Version
20 He which testifieth these things saith,
Surely I come quickly.
Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
When JESUS emphasizes something, He does something.
He says it THREE times.
Such as in these THREE words:
"I come quickly."
That's why we must heed the LORD's command:
Mark 1:15
King James Version
15 And saying,
The time is fulfilled,
and the kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye,
and believe the gospel.
If you wish to be citizen of that city, our response should be:
Revelation 22:17
King James Version
17 And the Spirit and the bride say,
Come.
And let him that heareth say,
Come.
And let him that is athirst
come.
And whosoever will,
let him take the water of life freely.
