Origins and
Judaism
Garden of the
Taj Mahal
incorporates water, pathways, and a geometric design typical of a
paradise garden.
The
paradise
gardens of the ancient
Near East are the earliest precursors to the
idea of the New Jerusalem. In the
Old Testament, The
Book of Genesis
describes the layout of the
Garden of Eden as similar to that of the
paradise gardens. In both schema, a walled enclosure divided by
spans of water protects and delights its inhabitants. Also, the
synthesis of geometric and natural arrangements in paradise gardens
has an echo in the New Jerusalem. Since Judaism views the renewed
Jerusalem as a kind of
paradise, the Garden of Eden presents itself
as the Jewish prototype for the New Jerusalem.
.^ He continues to follow the pattern He followed in Bible days, and He teaches us today in much the same way He taught the Children of Israel, or the early Christians of the New Testament.
^ To satisfy this paradox and prove God once again both infinitely just and infinitely merciful, God has created a plan to help these people.
The city of Jerusalem holds immense importance to Judaism.

Indeed, the modern
Jewish state of
Israel holds
Jerusalem as its capital, though this claim is controversial. This
ancient and persistent
religious significance
of Jerusalem explains why Jews began to associate the renewal
of Jerusalem with paradise.
The
Ark of the Covenant, the
Tabernacle and the
Temple in
Jerusalem were instrumental in the development of the idea of
the New Jerusalem.
.^ This Is The Place Heritage Park Step into the past, home to a living history attraction representative of a Utah settlement from 1847-1869, This Is The Place Heritage Park celebrates the pioneering spirit.
The concept of the New Jerusalem has its most immediate origins
in Judaism with the destruction of
Solomon's Temple and the
Babylonian captivity, events that
spurred the ancient Jewish hope for a restoration of Jerusalem.
.^ In the temple, however, people are married by the authority of God (Link to restoration of the priesthood).
^ By only allowing people into the temple who are meeting certain standards and who are firm in their faith in the Lord, the temple becomes a place where the Spirit of the Lord can freely dwell.
The Jews held Ezekiel's promise of the
restoration of Jerusalem close to their hearts during the captivity
and afterwards. In the course of history, various other
prophets came forth with
messages of Jerusalem's renewal. There has long been a belief in
Judaism that the
Messiah
will enter through
the Golden Gate, renew
Jerusalem and Israel, and save the Jewish people.
Zion is related to the New Jerusalem.
Christianity
Since Christianity originated as a sect of Judaism, see
Jewish Christianity, the history of Jewish
places of worship and the currents of thought in ancient Judaism
described above served in part as the basis for the development of
the Christian conception of the New Jerusalem.

The New Jerusalem is not
limited to eschatology, however. Many Christians view the New
Jerusalem as a current reality, that the New Jerusalem is the
consummation of the
Body of Christ, the
Church and
that Christians already take part in membership of both the
heavenly Jerusalem and the earthly Church in a kind of "
dual
citizenship."
[1] In
this way, the New Jerusalem represents to Christians the final and
everlasting reconciliation of God and His
chosen people, "the end of the Christian
pilgrimage."
[1] As
such, the New Jerusalem is a conception of
heaven.

of Revelation
Folio 55r of the
Bamberg Apocalypse depicts the angel
showing John the New Jerusalem, with the Lamb of God at its

Description
According to John, the New Jerusalem is "pure
gold, like clear glass" and its "brilliance [is]
like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal-clear
jasper." The street of the city
is also made of "pure gold, like transparent glass". Biblical
writers often used gold as a symbol for
eternity, as it does not
rust, and
kingship, as it is very valuable. The base of
the city is laid out in a
square and surrounded by a wall made
of
jasper. It says in
Revelations 21:16 that the height, length, and width are equal and
they measure 12,000
stadia
(2200 km). John writes that the wall is 144
cubits, which is assumed to be the width since
the length is mentioned previously. 144 cubits are about equal to
65 meters, or 72 yards.

the Garden of Eden. The fruit the tree bears may be the
fruit of life.
John states that the New Jerusalem will be free of
sin. The servants of God will have
theosis, and "His name will be
on their foreheads." Night will no longer fall, and the inhabitants
of the city will "have need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the
Lord God gives them light." John ends his account of the New
Jerusalem by stressing its eternal nature: "And they shall reign
forever and ever."

There is an
angel at each gate, or gatehouse. These gates are each made of a
single
pearl, giving them the
name of the "
pearly
gates". The names of the
twelve tribes
of Israel are written on these gates.
The new Jerusalem gates may bear some relation to the gates
mentioned in
Enoch, Chapters 33
- 35, where the prophet reports (at the extremities of the whole
earth) "heavenly gates opening into heaven; three of them
distinctly separated." [33, 3.] And so on for each of the four

This latter possibility is favored by tradition, as each gate
presumably stands on one foundation stone, and each of the twelve
tribes has long been associated with a certain type of precious
stone. These historical connections go back to the time of Temple
worship, when the same kinds of stones were set in the golden
Breastplate of the
Ephod worn by the
Kohen Gadol, and on the
Ephod the names of each of the twelve tribes of Israel were
inscribed on a particular type of stone.
It is interesting to note that the translated meanings of the
various sorts of foundation stones have varied through the
centuries: those in
King James
Version are differently named in later translations.
"18: And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the
city was pure gold, like unto clear glass. 19: And the foundations
of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious
stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the
third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; 20: The fifth,
sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth,
beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh,
a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst." <KJV, Rev. 21>
"18 The wall was built of diamond, and the city of pure gold,
like clear glass. 19 The foundations of the city wall were faced
with all kinds of precious stone: the first with diamond, the
second lapis lazuli, the third turquoise, the fourth crystal, 20
the fifth agate, the sixth ruby, the seventh gold quartz, the
eighth malachite, the ninth topaz, the tenth emerald, the eleventh
sapphire and the twelfth amethyst." <NJB, Rev. 21>
Geometry

A stadion is usually
stated as 185.4 meters, or 600 feet, so the base has dimensions of
about 2225 km by 2225 km, or 1500 miles by 1500 miles. In
the ancient Greek system of measurement, the base of the New
Jerusalem would have been equal to 144 million square stadia. If
rested on the Earth, its ceiling would be inside the
exosphere.
In keeping with the several indications within
Revelation text that there is some encryption, the cube
may not even represent a cube, but rather a sphere or spheroid,
with a radius equivalent to approximately 6,000 stadia or 750
miles; alternatively the symbol might be taken as a "sacred
dodecahedron" with the twelve's given as a clue to its actual,
faceted shape. Then the spheroidal pearl "gates" could be viewed as
twelve satellites of a main structure or even a planetary
system.
Other
Biblical writings
Montanism
From the middle of the second century C.E. to the middle of the
sixth century C.E., the ancient Christian sect of
Montanism, which spread all
over the Roman Empire, expected the New Jerusalem to descend to
earth at the neighboring Phrygian towns of
Pepuza and
Tymion. In
late antiquity, both
places attracted crowds of pilgrims from all over the Roman Empire.
Pepuza was the headquarters of
the Montanist church. The Montanist patriarch resided at
Pepuza. Women played an
emancipated role in Montanism, serving as priests and also bishops.
In the sixth century C.E., this church became extinct.
Since 2001,
Peter
Lampe of the
University of Heidelberg has
directed annual archaeological campaigns in Phrygia, Turkey. During
these interdisciplinary campaigns, together with William Tabbernee
of Tulsa, numerous unknown ancient settlements were discovered and
archaeologically documented. Two of them are the best candidates so
far in the search for the identification of the two holy centers of
ancient Montanism,
Pepuza and
Tymion, the sites of the
expected descent of the New Jerusalem.

The ancient site of
Tymion identified by
Peter Lampe is located not far away at the
Turkish village of Şükranje. For the Montanists, the high plane
between Pepuza and Tymion was an ideal landing place for the
heavenly New Jerusalem.
Roman
Catholicism
theologians deem more appropriate that there should be a special
and glorious abode, in which the blessed have their peculiar home
and where they usually abide, even though they be free to go about
in this world. For the surroundings in the midst of which the
blessed have their dwelling must be in accordance with their happy
state; and the internal union of charity which joins them in
affection must find its outward expression in community of
habitation. At the end of the world, the earth together with the
celestial bodies will be gloriously transformed into a part of the
dwelling-place of the blessed (Revelation 21). Hence there seems to
be no sufficient reason for attributing a metaphorical sense to
those numerous utterances of the Bible which suggest a definite
dwelling-place of the blessed. Theologians, therefore, generally
hold that the heaven of the blessed is a special place with
definite limits. Naturally, this place is held to exist, not within
the earth, but, in accordance with the expressions of Scripture,
without and beyond its limits. All further details regarding its
locality are quite uncertain. The Church has decided nothing on
this subject.

movement continues with many followers to the present.
The Kimbanguist believe that people of the Nkamba village saw
the New Jerusalem descending from heaven (a building) physically in
1935, by which time Prophet Simon Kimbangu was in prison. The
Kimbanguist has constructed this same design of the building,
calling it Nkamba New Jerusalem, in reference to Revelation 21; it
has a river with supposed healing power.

[8][9] Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í
Faith, identified the New Jerusalem with his claimed revelation
(the word of God), and more specifically with the Law of God.
[10][11]
`Abdu'l-Bahá, Bahá'u'lláh's son, further
explains that the New Jerusalem which descends from heaven is not
an actual city which is renewed, but the law of God since it
descends from heaven through a new revelation and it is
renewed.
[12] Shoghi Effendi,
the Guardian of the Bahá'í Faith, stated that specifically
Bahá'u'lláh's book of laws, the
Kitáb-i-Aqdas, is the new Jerusalem.
[13][14]
Bahá'u'lláh, in the
Tablet of
Carmel, also states that the new Jerusalem had appeared upon
the new Mount Zion,
Mount Carmel.

The Kaaba is a large
cuboidal building located
inside the
mosque known as
al-Masjid al-Haram in
Mecca. Even though Kaaba is an asymmetrical and
imperfect cube, Muslims believe it is comparable to Biblical
explanation of perfect cube of 12,000 x 12,000 x 12,000 stadia.
According to the
Qur'an, the
Kaaba was first started by Adam, with one stone, then built by
Ibrahim and his son Ismail.
Islamic traditions, contradicting the Qur'an, assert that the Kaaba
"reflects" a house in heaven called al-Baytu l-Maˤmur
[15] (
Arabic:
البيت المعمور) and that it was
first built by the first man,
Adam. Ibrahim and
Ismail rebuilt the Kaaba on the old foundations.

American pseudophilosopher
Gene Ray has referred to the cubic
interpretation of the New Jerusalem in an effort to express his
Time Cube theory to
religious believers who will only take seriously Biblical
scriptures.
Culture
The New Jerusalem is the subject of the Medieval allegorical
poem
Pearl.
Pilgrim's Progress features a
Celestial City based on the New Jerusalem.
"
And did those feet in
ancient time", a famous poem by
William Blake, mentions the New Jerusalem
as the ideal society that should be built on England's "green and
pleasant land". In turn,
Christian
Socialists drew on this inspiration to envision an explicitly
socialist society that could be built in the here and now through
political work.
In
Crime and Punishment by
Fyodor Dostoevsky, the murderer and
protagonist
Raskolnikov argues to Porfiry, the
detective investigating his murders, that
great men such as himself, in the process
of becoming great men, will have to cast off
absolute
morality and commit
crimes
until such time as humanity has established the perfect society,
"the New Jerusalem." The inspector retorts, "So, you believe in the
New Jerusalem. You must believe in God, then."
