And it makes me wonder how the canonical order of the New Testament books actually came about.

Does that mean that there is an earthly city of Jerusalem AND a heavenly city of Jerusalem at the same time?I believe the City is between the earth and heaven, while touching the earth, allowing the saved of the nations to enter.

Yes, because we can see that they are laid out perfectly, just where they fit in the dispenstional time line...with Romans-Philemon neatly tucked in between the little flock and the coming tribulation and kingdom!

It is interesting that the heavenly city is estimated to cover half of the USA.
I haven't checked what the land mass of the promised restored Israel. But it does seem possible that this city that "hovers" might just have an access point in all 12 of the tribal lands, since there are 12 gates with the names of the 12 tribes on them.
Revelation 21 KJV
(12) And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

Don't tell anyone, lest they open up more heresy hunter threads, but I believe the city will be a pyramid with it's tip touching the earth.
:jawdrop:
As you are aware, the approach, and therefore premise, you and I start from, differs.
Are you referring to your sense of what a passage like Galatians 4:26 is referring to? Thanks.

No, I just know that it comes down from heaven, and there are problems with it sitting on the earth.
K:Lol, that is actually a view held by some within New Age ideas - an upside down pyramid that matches and touches tips with, a right side up pyramid :chuckle:

I meant the point about two Jerusalems
That was meant at New Agers. But yeah, ok, if it'll make you happy, yeah, ok, I can agree with laughing at you too, lol

I'm telling Mom!
OK, a pyramid. I assume you mean a four sided pyramid, as the city does have 4 sides.
But if only the tip is touching the earth, then that would be the only access point. Why have 12 gates to the city if there is only one access point to get in?
Where's so and so when he actually could be of some use, lol
Its upside down, and so is all the furniture, that's why the tip touches the earth - one heck of a balancing act, lol
what does that mean ? tell us about the 70th week ! i want it to be clear to me too -
