My children did a New Jerusalem drawing after reading the last two chapters of Revelation. The city was built as a cube, and it was lowered from the sky. Each of the sides of the city had three doors, for a total of twelve doors, representing the tribes of Israel. Each gate was made with a single pearl. And there was no need for any sun, because the glory of the Lord filled the city!
The New Jerusalem is a proper city with buildings and mansions because Jesus said that He was going to prepare a place for us to live with Him. “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” John 14:4 KJV
God will sit on a throne, and the River of Life would flow through the city. The Tree of Life will be in the middle of the river and on both sides, with the leaves bringing healing to the nations.

The most delightful part of being in the New Jerusalem is being in the presence of God and the absence of sin. There will be no more crying and no more pain. To be in the presence of Jesus will be such exquisite joy!

Wow! I always enjoy seeing your kids’ drawings, and I really like the 3D model! 🙂
The 3-D model was super fun to set up. I shone a light into it, and it lit up the whole city!
You guys do some of the neatest little projects! 🙂
Thanks! I try to make Scripture come to life for my kids.
I’m definitely feeling ready for a break too! Two more weeks, two more weeks! 🙂
You can make it! 🙂
