New Jerusalem After the Millennium: Understanding the Theology and Timing of the New Jerusalem in Relation to the Millennial Kingdom

What do you know about the new heavens and earth and the new Jerusalem? The Bible makes it clear that heaven will not be our permanent home. Our ultimate home is actually the new creation—the new heavens and earth, a physical creation, separate from the realm of heaven.  

Would it surprise you to know that the new Jerusalem is nowhere mentioned in the Old Testament? Before this city descends from heaven, there is a glorious city established by God on Mount Zion during the millennial kingdom. This is the prophesied rebuilt Jerusalem, an exciting foreshadow of the new Jerusalem in God’s ultimate plan of salvation. 

Using a primarily literal interpretation of Scripture concerning a new heavens and new earth, Bible scholar Paul Feiner defines the biblical phrase used in its proper context, explains the relevant typology, and outlines significant core differences between the millennial Jerusalem and the new Jerusalem. 

This unique treatment of issues and this particular interpretation has often been overlooked in popular commentaries and has not previously been covered to this depth. Bible students, researchers, seminary students, and laymen who enjoy God’s Word will find this unique, in-depth treatment of these important but seldomly discussed topics within eschatology to be thorough, stimulating, and clarifying. 

Be reminded again of the importance of the millennial kingdom spoken of by the prophets, and how it paves the way for the final new creation and the new Jerusalem. See clearly how God’s plan of salvation is seen through Christ concerning the nation of Israel and the events pertaining to the millennium.
