In his final vision, John describes the heavenly Jerusalem, a city of great beauty lit only by the light of God from the lamp of the Lamb. The Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, give light to the new Jerusalem. In the end, we do not stand before the Temple of the Lord, we stand before the very presence of God. We see God face to face, and in that awesome beauty all our questions, all our doubts, all the darkness that may surround us in this life disappears in the radiance of god’s light.
