THE NEW JERUSALEM, by Harry Wendrich

The text on the painting is from The Revelation of Jesus Christ, 3: 11 -13.

“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have so that no-one will take your crown. Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of My God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God, and I will also write on him My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

(Dream Date: 2003)

In my dream, I was speaking to God. I asked God, “Lord, are You with me?”

The Lord replied, “Yes, Harry, I am with you.”

So I asked God, “Lord, will You show me a sign that I may know that you are with me?”

The Lord God replied, “Look to your right, and you will see a sign.”

I looked to my right, but could only see fields, trees and in the distance, mountains. I asked God, “Lord, where is the sign?”

God replied, “Look up.”

I looked up and my eyes penetrated into outer space like a powerful telescope. I saw a city ship floating and waiting in space. This city was enormous – I could not give exact dimensions, but I knew that it was very, very big. It looked as if it was square or slightly oblong from top to bottom. Around this city ship there were dozens of other separate space ships, also just waiting, motionless. These spaceships were also very large, but were dwarfed by the city, which was in the centre of them. The spaceships looked rounded – saucer-like in shape. I did not ask any questions because I knew that this was the sign, and no words were spoken. I woke up knowing that I would receive some kind of confirmation, because I had not understood the dream.

Two weeks later, I came across an edition of the UFO magazine, containing an article which not only confirmed the dream I had, but also clarified it (see additional info below).

The similarity between my dream and this article has to be more than a coincidence, but more important is the enormity of what is being shown – that God has already set the New Jerusalem in place, ready to descend at His will.

The Second Sun by Alan Froster.

“… Mainstream religion and society as a whole feel we are reaching the time when something “Big” is going to happen. Many feel that the return of the New Jerusalem, and hence the return of Christ, is imminent. “At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky. They will see the Son of Man coming on the ‘clouds' of the sky, with power and great glory.”(Matt: 24:30)

So it is really interesting that the involvement of the Vatican in UFOlogy has become more and more open over the last few years. Certain events have undoubtably stimulated their willingness to disclose information regarding this subject. In the Sep/Oct 1996 issue of U.F.O. Magazine, in Andrew Pike's Astronomy section, under the title “Heavens Above!” was this following quote: “It probably comes as no surprise to learn that NASA have several hundred unreleased photographs from the Hubble Space Telescope. Rumours are currently circulating in the world of astronomy that one taken on 26 th March 1996, and being held back, shows a White City of massive proportions just floating in deep space, reminiscent of Heaven! One NASA spokesman said: “…maybe the will of God pointed the telescope in that direction.”

It seems President Clinton, Vice-President Al Gore and Pope John Paul II are all being kept updated.

In the footage taken from the STS-75 Space Shuttle mission of the broken Tethered Satellite on 25 th February 1996, there is an object up to six miles across that passes behind the satellite when it is about 80 – 100 miles away from the Shuttle. And photographs taken from the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) geosynchronous satellite on 21 st November 1999, show what looks like a huge craft in space above North Western U.S.A. It is estimated that this craft is about 300 miles across. If the New Jerusalem Cityship is indeed 1,400 miles or 2,200 kilometres across (as mentioned in Rev. 21:16), then at the correct distance from Earth with its underside reflecting sunlight as a giant mirror, no doubt the night-side could appear as daylight. This will be an unmistakable and undeniable sign. However, this illumination of darkness may also represent shining Light on evil. It allows good, kind and compassionate people to have hope and inspiration, while those of the darkness have to recognise they are being watched, and their thoughts and actions are accountable.”

The Revelation of Jesus Christ, the final book of the New Testament, contains a complex prophecy given to the apostle John, by Jesus, through His holy angel. Chapters 21 and 22 contain the vision of the New Jerusalem, as received by the Apostle John.

The full prophecy contained within Revelation comes with a blessing… and a warning.

The blessing: [Rev. 22:7] “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” [Rev. 1:3] “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.”

The warning: [Rev. 22:18] For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add* to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away* his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. (*(Majority text reads: ‘may God add’ and ‘may God take away’)

This warning is not something that we take lightly. It is only in seeking guidance from GOD that we have been shown to share our visions and interpretations with the wider world.

We have not interfered with the actual wording of the prophecy as revealed to the Apostle John, nor with any Scriptures quoted. Neither do we claim that the prophecy in the Book of Revelation says anything other than that which was revealed to John.

Primarily, we earnestly encourage you to read the Book of Revelation or to listen to the reading of it for yourself so that the Holy Spirit of God can guide your own understanding, and bring to mind the things you have read and heard when they are most needed.
