The Opening Heavens: or a Connected View of the Testimony of the Prophets and Apostles, Concerning the Opening Heavens, Compared With Astronomical Observations, and of the Present and Future Location of the New Jerusalem, the Paradise of God
Bates, Joseph
Bible -- Prophecies; Paradise; Second Advent
like an "abundant entrance" into the everlasting kingdom. O yes, say
many, I see there is abundance of room for every body! The apostle tells
us who they are. He says, "There shall in no wise enter into it anything
that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie;
but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life." This then is the
capacious and glorious "golden _City_;" the "New Jerusalem;" the
"heavenly Sanctuary;" the "Bride the Lamb's Wife;" the "Mother of us
all;" the "Paradise of God;" the capital of our coming Lord's
EVERLASTING kingdom, which is now about to descend from the "third
heaven" by the way of the open door, down by the "flaming sword" of
Orion. O let us see to it, that we are all ready to enter into this
celestial City.
