New York vs. New Jerusalem

Then I saw New Jerusalem, that holy city, coming down from God in heaven. It was like a bride dressed in her wedding gown and ready to meet her husband.
Revelation 21:2

I assume the "York" referred to in New York City is York England. If it is the similarities are small and the differences are stark. But whatever the "Old York" was it doesn't even begin to compare with New York.

I truly believe New Jerusalem will be the same when it is compared to Old Jerusalem. Jerusalem now is impressive and extremely important in world history. Without Jerusalem nothing on earth would be the same as it is today. But when "New Jerusalem" comes down from God in heaven, you had better "HOLD ON TO YOUR HAT." No one will have ever seen or even thought of anything like that city will be!

This life is like a huge jigsaw puzzle. We rummage through the thousands and yes millions of pieces, trying to make sense of it. We may see how some of it fits together, but in the end only God can put it together so that everything makes sense.

Instead of struggling with your own confusion, ask God to show you how your life fits in to His plan.

Your New Life will be as different from your old life as New Jerusalem is from the old one.
In the puzzle of life God doesn't want any of the pieces to be lost!
