Hi Kevin,

The Church has no dogmatic or official teaching as to what exactly the New Jerusalem is.

I happen to believe it is the Catholic Church which replaced the Old Jerusalem when the Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. but that's my personal exegesis of Revelation.

While some believe the harlot city or the Whore of Babylon is Rome and the Roman Empire, I believe the harlot city and Whore is Jerusalem.

That would be in line with what the Old Testament prophets said about it.

My theory of course is predicated on Revelation being completed prior to 70 A.D. which was the prevailing view for centuries.

There will be a New Heaven and New Earth at the end of time. The inhabitants of the New Heaven and New Earth will be like God and not limited to time and space as we are now. Even without that being the case, God is omnipresent, hence He can be, and is, amongst all of us now.

We just can't see Him.

Under His Mercy,

John
