"Furthermore we read, "And the seven angels came out of the temple, having the seven plagues, clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with golden girdles" (Rev. 15:6). The ministry of the symbolic "seven messengers" streams forth from the precincts of the ark within the temple — from the very throne of God — from the very heart of God — the heart-throne of mercy and judgment. Never forget it! The seven plagues come out of the temple! "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God?" It should be plain to any thinking mind that when we look at these seven last plagues we are not seeing something that is coming from nature, nor from armies of men, nor from the Russians, the Chinese, or the Islamic extremists, nor from a nuclear holocaust, nor from some ecological disaster, nor from some alien attack from outer space, nor out of the bottomless pit, nor from the mouth of the great red dragon, nor from the antichrist in Israel, for these plagues are things which proceed from the very GLORY IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD, that is, from the MIDST OF GOD’S CALLED AND SEPARATED ELECT! Those who pour out these vials are clothed in pure white linen which the Revelation itself identifies as THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF SAINTS! The vials are indeed judgment vials — and is it not the saints who shall judge the world! Oh, yes! It is a ministry! Judgment is coming out of God’s temple in the heavenly places of the Spirit where we sit together in Christ Jesus, but keep in mind, my beloved, nothing breaks forth out of the temple of God that has not been first inworked into that temple! Ah, yes, His judgments always BEGIN AT THE HOUSE OF GOD!"

"The name of the city of my God is New Jerusalem."
"Jerusalem is a compound Hebrew word meaning "founded peaceful."
"The best way to come to an understanding of the true meaning of the New Jerusalem, is to go back and consider its shadow, the Old Jerusalem."
"And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God" (Rev. 21:9-10).
"And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither, I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters…so he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy…and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT" (Rev. 17:1,3).
"There are two women, a harlot and a bride. It was "in the spirit" that John was "carried away" and saw — he received the deep spiritual understanding of who and what the harlot is and who and what the bride is."
"John beheld the harlot in a wilderness of spiritual desolation. He saw the holy city, the bride of the Lamb, from atop a great and high mountain — a high and exalted place in the kingdom of God. If the city is literal then the mountain is literal. I can walk up its slopes and touch it with my hands. But the writer to the Hebrews informs us that "Ye are not come to the mount that might be touched…but ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem…" (Heb. 12:18,22). There can be no doubt that these inspired words reveal to us the great truth that the high mountain upon which the heavenly, or spiritual Jerusalem sits, is the heavenly and spiritual mount Zion, the mount that cannot be touched by the flesh! The old Jerusalem was a literal and physical city which was situated upon the physical mount Zion. Can we not see by this that the Old Testament type was literal, whereas the New Testament reality is spiritual. The city is a people!"
"In both cases, when John saw the harlot and when he saw the bride, the angel said to him, "Come hither, I will show unto thee…" These words take on new depth of meaning when we understand that in the book of Revelation the word "come" always signifies AN INVITATION TO REVELATON."
"The true church of Christ is called a mystery. She is presented as a virgin. She is called a bride. Finally, she is displayed as a city, the New Jerusalem, the city of peace, righteousness, glory, and divine order."
"Eden is man on trial. The city is man purified and perfected."
"Eden is man faced with the processings of God through choices and experience, through testings and dealings, for his own learning and development unto wisdom and holiness in maturity."
