Reverend Dr. Jaerock Lee prayed and fasted to obtain answers about what heaven is really like.  After seven years he received his answers.  New Jerusalem is the holiest place in heaven as revealed to him by God.  It is where the throne of God is and it contains the spiritual summit where God divided himself into the Holy Trinity.  Apostle John writes about New Jerusalem in the Bible as revealed to him by God.  Revelations 21 also discusses it in great depth.  There are many biblical quotes used to support his assertions. 

Reverend Dr. Lee describes the physical aspects of New Jerusalem, including its incredible beauty, and then he relates the physical aspects to their spiritual significance.  There are twelve foundations with twelve spiritually significant jewels.  Twelve angels guard the twelve gates and the names of the names of the twelve tribes and twelve disciples are found all over New Jerusalem.   Revelations 21:21 states, “The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl.  The great street of the city was of pure gold, like transparent glass.”

 “New Jerusalem is the place for those children of light whose hearts resemble the heart of God, who Himself is the light.”  Everything that comprises New Jerusalem is made up of the number twelve which is the number of light.  By teaching us about this incredible place, Reverend Dr. Lee hopes that this knowledge will bring us closer to God and help motivate us to stay on our spiritual path, so that we can one day go there.

I found “Heaven II” to be highly enlightening and motivating.  I really enjoyed learning about the special spiritual meanings of gemstones.  This was something very new for me.  “Heaven II” by Reverend Dr. Jaerock Lee is the perfect book to help motivate a person to stay on their spiritual path, especially if they follow a literal interpretation of the Bible.  I highly recommend it and also think it would make a perfect gift.  Church groups would also enjoy reading and discussing it.
