Alastair's Adversaria

CHAPTER

The Lord Promises Nothing Less Than a New World

In these concluding verses, we also return to elements of earlier eschatological prophecies in the book. Jerusalem is set like a great jewel at the heart of this radiant new world, a token of the lord's delight. The old world that they are leaving behind was one mired in death, sickness and sorrow. This rich symbolic portrayal of a world made new need not be taken as a vision of the final kingdom but as a poetic representation of the world of that kingdom within the terms of the present age.
