The city symbolizes the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise to dwell among His people. It is described as descending from heaven, indicating its divine origin and perfection. The New Jerusalem is the culmination of biblical prophecy, representing the eternal dwelling place of God with humanity, as seen in <a href="/ezekiel/48-35.htm">Ezekiel 48:35</a> and <a href="/isaiah/65-17.htm">Isaiah 65:17-19</a>.<p><b>will be brought</b><br>The act of bringing suggests a continuous and voluntary offering. This reflects the worship and reverence that the nations will show towards God. It implies a sense of pilgrimage and devotion, reminiscent of the Old Testament practice where nations would come to Jerusalem to worship during the feasts (<a href="/zechariah/14-16.htm">Zechariah 14:16</a>).<p><b>the glory and honor</b><br>Glory and honor denote the highest attributes and achievements of the nations. In biblical terms, glory often refers to the visible manifestation of God's presence, while honor signifies respect and reverence. This indicates that all that is valuable and praiseworthy in human culture will be offered to God, purified and redeemed. It echoes the prophetic vision in <a href="/isaiah/60-11.htm">Isaiah 60:11</a>, where the wealth of nations is brought to God's city.<p><b>of the nations</b><br>The inclusion of the nations signifies the universal scope of God's redemptive plan. It fulfills the promise made to Abraham that all nations would be blessed through his seed (<a href="/genesis/22-18.htm">Genesis 22:18</a>). This phrase underscores the diversity and unity of God's people, as seen in <a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9</a>, where a multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language stands before the throne. It highlights the breaking down of barriers and the gathering of all peoples into God's eternal kingdom.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_city.htm">The City (New Jerusalem)</a></b><br>This is the heavenly city described in <a href="/bsb/revelation/21.htm">Revelation 21</a>, representing the eternal dwelling place of God with His people.
