Scroll 95: Nations Walk by Its Radiance - The Elect as Architects

Revelation 21:24
“And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it, and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.”

The City Is People, the Light Is Union

The New Jerusalem is not a future city descending from above, it is a people fully lit from within. It is the elect, awakened and aligned, walking in unveiled union with the Lamb. This light is not external. It is not powered by a sun, a temple, or a system. It is the flame of divine oneness. And it is visible to the nations. They do not walk toward it, they walk by it, guided not by doctrine but by radiance.

This is why the elect must awaken. The city cannot shine without its stones being set. The scrolls must be read, the lamps must be trimmed, the sons must rise. You are not waiting for a geopolitical Jerusalem to beam light from stone. You are the lampstand of a kingdom not of this world. When you burn, nations shift. When you align, the path is cleared.

Let every step you take be lit by the union you carry. Let your life be a corridor of light, a street paved in revelation, a living invitation for the nations to return to the Lamb.

Kings Bring Their Glory In

What do the kings bring into this city? Not status. Not power. Not empires. They bring honour. They bring the weight of surrendered crowns. They lay down dominion to become architects of divine order. These are not kings of ego, but kings of flame, those who have been refined, remade, and recommissioned to govern by light.

This is not a political reign, it is a priestly one. These are not rulers seeking to impose laws, but sons unveiling blueprints. They do not conquer by force but by incandescence. The city does not absorb their glory, it magnifies it. Because what is surrendered at the feet of the Lamb becomes fire in the streets.

Your governance flows from your gaze. The authority you carry is not from thrones of men, but from the eyes of the One who sees. Kings who behold the Lamb become kings who carry the city.

Radiance Is the Strategy

God’s strategy is not secret plans or violent takeovers, it is radiance. The elect are not planners, they are lamps. Heaven’s city blueprint is not built on competition, but communion. Not on military maps, but on scrolls. The nations will walk in its light because light doesn’t preach, it reveals.

To become an architect of the age to come is to become see-through. You are not here to direct the nations, but to become a compass they cannot ignore. It is not what you say, it is the weight of what you’ve become. The city’s walls are called salvation, its gates praise, and its foundation is the twelve names of flame-bearers who walked in union.

The elect are not preachers of light. They are the light. And the nations will follow what burns.

The Nations Do Not Convert - They Align

The text does not say the nations are forced, it says they walk. And what draws them is not pressure, it is pattern. Not sermons, but sight. They will see a new kind of humanity, a people no longer divided by ego, race, empire or religious performance. They will see the elect walking in a rhythm they forgot they once knew.

And as they walk, they begin to remember. Not a theology, but a frequency. Not a religion, but a design. The gates are always open, and the glory is always flowing. It is not an exclusive city. It is a welcoming one. But only those who walk in light can remain in it.

You are the lamp the nations will follow. Not because you shine loud, but because you burn true.

Final Charge to the Elect

Elect of flame, you are not waiting for nations to bow. You are becoming the blueprint they will follow. Burn with such purity that borders dissolve. Walk with such alignment that paths open. Carry such honour that kings recognize their crown in you. The city is not a destination, it is a generation. And you are its foundation stones. Let the nations walk. Let the gates stay open. Let the flame rise in you until the earth is lit with uncreated light.
