Is the New City Jerusalem in the Present Heaven?

Is the New City Jerusalem in the Present Heaven?

By Randy Alcorn

March 29, 2010

Question from a reader:

How probable is it that the new city of Jerusalem is right now in the present (intermediary) Heaven?

Answer from Randy Alcorn:

I believe the New Jerusalem is right now in the present (intermediary) Heaven because of my understanding of Revelation 10. In fact, in one of my novels I have the New Jerusalem in the distance in the intermediary Heaven, based on this verse.
