Revelation 21:9-14
일곱 천사가 마지막 때에 일곱 재난이 가득 담긴 일곱 대접을 가졌는데, 그 가운데 하나가 나에게로 와서 말하기를 "이리로 오너라. 어린 양의 아내인 신부를 너에게 보여 주겠다" 하고,
나를 성령으로 휩싸서 크고 높은 산 위로 데리고 가서, 하나님께로부터 하늘에서 내려오는 거룩한 도성 예루살렘을 보여 주었습니다.그 도성은 하나님의 영광에 싸였고, 그 빛은 지극히 귀한 보석과 같고, 수정처럼 맑은 벽옥과 같았습니다.
그 도성에는 크고 높은 성벽이 있고, 거기에는 열두 대문이 달려 있었습니다. 그 열두 대문에는 열두 천사가 지키고 있고, 이스라엘 자손 열두 지파의 이름이 적혀 있었습니다.
그 대문은 동쪽에 셋, 북쪽에 셋, 남쪽에 셋, 서쪽에 셋이 있었습니다.
그 도성의 성벽에는 주춧돌이 열두 개가 있고, 그 위에는 어린 양의 열두 사도의 열두 이름이 적혀 있었습니다.One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."
And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal.
It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.
There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west.
The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

In his vision, John saw the Holy City of Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. New Jerusalem here is depicted as the bride, the wife of the Lamb which will be the manifestation of God's holy city where we will eventually all reside (?). At the present time, the church should be the bride, the wife of the Lamb and should display similar brilliance and glamour, representing the glory of God. We should repent and think about our church could truly represent the bride of the Lamb. In order to do so, we have been called to serve each other and bring glory to our God.
