Romans 5:12-16 (NLT)

When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. Yes, people sinned even before the law was given. But it was not counted as sin because there was not yet any law to break. Still, everyone died—from the time of Adam to the time of Moses—even those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was yet to come. But there is a great difference between Adam’s sin and God’s gracious gift. For the sin of this one man, Adam, brought death to many. But even greater is God’s wonderful grace and his gift of forgiveness to many through this other man, Jesus Christ. And the result of God’s gracious gift is very different from the result of that one man’s sin. For Adam’s sin led to condemnation, but God’s free gift leads to our being made right with God, even though we are guilty of many sins.

In addition:

In the Old Testament, the first Adam was failed & died spiritually because of disobedience.

In the New Testament, the Second Adam is Jesus Christ >>> He rose, He won, He paid it all...and that's the Power of the Cross.

If a king judges the poor fairly, his throne will last forever.

Amen to that scripture and the best example is the wise  justice of king Solomon that he became well known in Israel.

1 Kings 3:16-28 New King James Version (NKJV) "Solomon’s Wise Judgment"

Now two women who were harlots came to the king, and stood before him. And one woman said, “O my lord, this woman and I dwell in the same house; and I gave birth while she was in the house.  Then it happened, the third day after I had given birth, that this woman also gave birth. And we were together; no one was with us in the house, except the two of us in the house.  And this woman’s son died in the night, because she lay on him.  So she arose in the middle of the night and took my son from my side, while your maidservant slept, and laid him in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom.  And when I rose in the morning to nurse my son, there he was, dead. But when I had examined him in the morning, indeed, he was not my son whom I had borne.” Then the other woman said, “No! But the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son.” And the first woman said, “No! But the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son.” Thus they spoke before the king.  And the king said, “The one says, ‘This is my son, who lives, and your son is the dead one’; and the other says, ‘No! But your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.’ ” 2 Then the king said, “Bring me a sword.” So they brought a sword before the king.  And the king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and half to the other.” Then the woman whose son was living spoke to the king, for she yearned with compassion for her son; and she said, “O my lord, give her the living child, and by no means kill him!” But the other said, “Let him be neither mine nor yours, but divide him.” So the king answered and said, “Give the first woman the living child, and by no means kill him; she is his mother.” And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice.

Hebrew 6:

13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, 

14 saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.” 

15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised. 

16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. 

17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. 

18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. 

19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, 

20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.

-----------------

Note: the 'sin' that Hebrews refers to is that of UNBELIEF and it gives the examples of why God destroyed Israelis in the desert.

You MUST read Hebrews with this theme in mind. It is often misquoted from pulpits as if the 'sin' was a person's personal misdeeds and failures. No. Emphatic NO. Hebrews warns against the SIN of unbelief. BELIEVING LOYALTY is what the writer is talking about. So long as we have believing loyalty, all other sins we commit were taken care of at the cross. Do not let anyone mislead you about this very important fact.

What's really interesting is the dimensions indicate that the size of this "cube" city will fit just inside the moon. If you squared the moon off (just cut slices off to cube it) you would have the size of the new Jerusalem. It is a city cubed. So imagine a cube in the sky, a city with broad piazzas or plazas (that is the very word used in the book of Revelation), with broad avenues, boulevards and squares and most likely high rises and other buildings too. Can you imagine what it would be like to see that coming down out of heaven?

Yes the new Jerusalem will just be above the city Jerusalem. Two dimension but the same reality. One spiritual and the other physical. 

So I look at the earthy Jerusalem in the millennium and that gives me some idea of the heavently Jerusalem of what it will be like.

Novus & Worship Warriors, it's so amazing how both of you describes the New Jerusalem...and in addition  there is no evening or daylight at all..the glory of God is enough to covers and shines  the New Jerusalem.
