In 1788 on May the 5th, the society at Great East Cheap adopted the name 'New Church, signified by the holy city New Jerusalem in Revelation.'
| Revelation 21:2 - And I John saw the holy city New Jerusalem
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a Bride adorned for her Husband. Apocalypse Reveled 879 "And I John saw the holy city New Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven" signifies the New Church to be established by the Lord at the end of the former church, which will be consociated with the New Heaven in Divine truths as to doctrine and as to life. |
