One Street Connects All New Jerusalem’s Gates to the Throne
In Revelation 21:21 and 22:1 the word street is singular; the Bible never says there is more than one street in New Jerusalem.
The street in the New Jerusalem is uniquely one. There is no maze, no leading astray, and no getting lost. No matter through which gate a believer enters, he will find himself on the unique street. On this unique street we are one.
The street of the New Jerusalem is a spiral, coming down from the throne of God to reach all God’s chosen. Because the unique street is a spiral, it reaches every gate. This street also leads us from the gates to the throne.*
This one street matches the word of the Lord Jesus in John 14, “I am the way.” It also corresponds to Colossians 2:6, “As therefore you have received the Christ, Jesus the Lord, walk in Him.” We have been rooted in Him to receive the life supply for this walk, and as we walk we are “being built up in Him” (2:7).
This is also a “walk in newness of life” (Rom. 6:4). This life and the building up which issues from it are our path to the consummation of New Jerusalem where we will always be walking in Him, walking on the golden street.
