Revelation 21

John sees the creation of a new heaven and earth, crowned by the city of New Jerusalem.  The pinnacle of this masterwork is the presence of God with mankind and the banishment of death, sorrow, pain, and tears.  This city of New Jerusalem is called the bride of the Lamb and is described in beautiful detail.  Great care is taken to present this bride to her Bridegroom!  The only missing fixture is a place of worship.  There is no temple, nor is there any illumination source.  The sun and moon are extraneous; the Lamb illuminates the city and its inhabitants.
