  Abstract:  The Jerusalem theme is preferred by the author of Apocalypse, proof is that it’s mentioned as a climax of his book. In Rev 21-22, the new Jerusalem becomes the target and the final point of the human history. The heavenly Jerusalem is a divine-human city, a gift from God, the symbol of a community in which exist a perfect communion. The nest pages want to offer a concise description of this very special city, as it is presented by John, who massively draws his images from the Old Testament. In the same time, in this study I will try to offer an answer to the question- why does John choose just Jerusalem as filling of history.

Key words: Apocalypse; the new Jerusalem; holy city; people of God; eschatology; community; Lamb; salvation.
