790. There is a full description of what this church will be like in Revelation, which deals with the end of the former church and the rise of the new one. This new church is described by the New Jerusalem and its wonders, and by its being the bride and wife of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7; 21:2, 9). In addition I shall merely copy out from Revelation the following: when the New Jerusalem was seen to come down out of heaven, it is said:

Behold the tent of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they will be His peoples; He will be their God with them. And the nations which are saved will walk in His light; and there will be no night there. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to you to bear witness of these things in the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright star of the morning. The spirit and the bride say, Come; and let him who hears say, Come. And let him that is thirsty come; and let whoever will take the water of life without payment. Even so come, Lord Jesus. Amen, Revelation 21:3, 24-25; 22:16-17, 20.
