Beholding Celestial City
Radiant veduta* of the celestial city
enthralling with shades verily wondrous
highlighting glorious hues
tints glowing midst heavenly splendor
perfectly-blended colors…
With the Scriptures’ presentation
recorded in Revelation 21
Lord Almighty showed
panoramic vista so clear
…“that great city… out of heaven from God.”**
Through the eyes of faith
I behold the beauteous grandeur
surpassing painting’s inspiration
marvelous divine cityscape
believing that there --- I can eternally dwell.
*a painting of a town or city
**Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God.
