In this Gospel preaching you will hear of man’s city and God’s city. We see a picture of Man’s City in the book of Genesis when the whole earth had one language and they built a tower and called it Babel. In contrast to Man’s city we read in Revelation about God’s city and how he desires for you to be with Him in heaven through the saving power of the Lord Jesus.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Genesis 11:1-9 “And the whole earth had one language, and the same words.2 And it came to pass as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and dwelt there.3 And they said one to another, Come on, let us make bricks, and burn [them] thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.
4 And they said, Come on, let us build ourselves a city and a tower, the top of which [may reach] to the heavens; and let us make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered over the face of the whole earth.5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built.6 And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing.7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city.9 Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth.”
Revelation 18:10 “Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! for in one hour thy judgment is come.”
Revelation 18:21-24 “21 And a strong angel took up a stone, as a great millstone, and cast [it] into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall Babylon the great city be cast down, and shall be found no more at all;22 and voice of harp-singers and musicians and flute-players and trumpeters shall not be heard any more at all in thee, and no artificer of any art shall be found any more at all in thee, and voice of millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee,
23 and light of lamp shall shine no more at all in thee, and voice of bridegroom and bride shall be heard no more at all in thee; for thy merchants were the great ones of the earth; for by thy sorcery have all the nations been deceived.24 And in her was found [the] blood of prophets and saints, and of all the slain upon the earth.”
Hebrews 12-22-24 “22 but ye have come to mount Zion; and to [the] city of [the] living God, heavenly Jerusalem; and to myriads of angels,23 the universal gathering; and to [the] assembly of the firstborn [who are] registered in heaven; and to God, judge of all; and to [the] spirits of just [men] made perfect;24 and to Jesus, mediator of a new covenant; and to [the] blood of sprinkling, speaking better than Abel.”
Revelation 21:1-5 “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea exists no more.2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of the heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a loud voice out of the heaven, saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, their God.4 And he shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall not exist any more, nor grief, nor cry, nor distress shall exist any more, for the former things have passed away.5 And he that sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he says [to me], Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
