DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

                                 ~The Response of History to the Revelation~

                                          Chapter 21 – The New Jerusalem
                   of the city, must find some place into which


               to discharge its waters; and what can that be


               but  the  new-earth  sea?  That  there  will  be  a

               shall  be  from  sea  even  to  sea,  and  from  the


               river even to the ends of the earth.” Zechariah

               waters,  cannot  be  expected.  The  new  world


               will have everything which will contribute to


               its utility and beauty.

               Jerusalem,  coming  down  from  God  out  of


               heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her


               husband. 3. And I heard a great voice out of


               heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God
