Panel V  The Holy City, The Consummation

As Creation began the kingdom of God among men, so the Holy city of the Heavenly Rest will complete it: for the twenty-first chapter of Revelation of St. John the Divine so discloses. The lower part of the view shows a rocky and difficult pathway, amid danger; as life on earth has its trials and temptations to dismay. The course goes beneath the very cross and enters a cleft in the stony walls, just as we pass into "the shadow of death," amid pain and suffering. But the very clouds that overhang the place are being lifted and growing bright with the reflected splendor of God's Holy Palace descending out of heaven to be our eternal Home. It is a city without a hospital or a tomb, but with towers and domes of power and beauty amid mansions of peace; where our Savior shall be our Judge and King forever on the Throne of His Light and Glory.
