The New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation

A Study of Revelation 21-22 in the Light of its Background in Jewish Tradition

Produktform: E-Buch Text Elektronisches Buch in proprietärem

There is a development between expectation for the rebuilding of the New Jerusalem/Temple in the Old Testament and the coming of the New Jerusalem/Temple in Revelation. In Revelation, there is a dynamic relation between the New Jerusalem and the Heavenly Jerusalem: the New Jerusalem is the descent of the Heavenly Jerusalem.
