Hello Donna Danna,Good points, Donna~The reason I asked the question is because of the 'similarities' in the Millennial Temple and New Jerusalem. These similarities make it sound like one place - but -There is no Temple in New Jerusalem - so why are these things doubled?They each have twelve gates named for the twelve tribes of Israel.They each have a river and by the river is a tree of life.Each has a tree of life with leaves for the healing of the nations/medicine and each bears fruit each month.Maybe God doubled these things because they are important to Him and us. And the Millennial Temple needs these things for the Jewish people. And the New Jerusalem needs these things for the rest of the people. Just a thought....Chance
