Here are some commentary

Aquinas Study Bible- New Jerusalem, that is, the unified society of the elect perfected by love. New in relation to the glory of their bodies. For the bodies of the saints which are corruptible in quality. Coming down out of heaven, that is, from the highest heaven, so that they may put on their bodies and appear for the judgment. (Nicholas of Lyra)

Haydock Bible- Coming down from God out of heaven. By the city we must understand its citizens, the Angels and saints. (Witham) — Justice, innocence, the good works of the saints, are the ornaments of the inhabitants of this new Jerusalem, the Church triumphant. If the world of the old Adam has appeared so beautiful, so magnificent, good God, what will be the riches of that which is made for Jesus Christ, the second Adam, and for his members! O Jesus! Father of the world to come, render us worthy of this new and everlasting world, and give us a disgust, a mortal hatred, for that which perishes, and which is the cause of our perdition.

My personal commentary on Revelation- This holy city , the New Jerusalem, is the Church in glory. She comes down as a bride since she will be in Her fullness and fully prepared to be fully united to Christ with all Her members in a glorified state. Even though God dwells with man now in the Church, he will be more united with man because sin will no longer exist among the people of God.

Thank you for your commentary, I love it!
Praise God! Peace, to all, Carlan

Does this relate to

Ephesians 5:25 > “just as Christ loved the Church and sacrificed himself for her to make her holy by washing her in cleansing water with a form of words, so that when he took the Church to himself she would be glorious, with no speck or wrinkle or anything like that, but holy and faultless”

Colossians 3:4 > “But when Christ is revealed – and he is your life-you, too, will be revealed with him in glory”

Is the coming of the “Church in glory” the same as the revelation of Christ together with the Church in glory ?

In other words. is this the return of Jesus Christ with the Saints to the world ?
