Summary

Our true citizenship isn't earthly but heavenly. The book of Revelation contrasts corrupt earthly powers (Babylon) with God's eternal kingdom (New Jerusalem). This heavenly city represents both a place and God's people - a multicultural, multinational community where God dwells with humanity. The New Jerusalem is described as large enough for all nations, with the Tree of Life providing healing for all peoples. Entry requires washing our robes in the blood of the Lamb and following Him faithfully. While this is our future hope, it should shape how we live today - with primary loyalty to God's kingdom rather than earthly political systems.
