What's My Name - Purpose of Life

1. The Bride is the City

Revelation 21:2 (NIV)

> "I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband."

Revelation 21:9–10 (NIV)

> "One of the seven angels... said to me, ‘Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.’ And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God."

Conclusion:

John is told he will be shown the bride, but what he sees is a city. This confirms that the bride = the city.

2. The Three Names

Revelation 3:12 (NIV)

> "The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God... I will write on them 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 them my new name."

Three distinct names are written on the victorious:

Name of God

Name of the City (New Jerusalem), which is the bride of Christ

Jesus’ New Name

Are These Three Different names or just One Name? I believe its just one name. And if it is then God is absolutely crazy crazy crazy crazy in love with those who imitate Paul and do Phillipians 3:10-17. That is the gospel no one talks about. It's burning me up inside like Jeremiah.
