    Posljednja dva poglavlja Knjige Otkrivenja donose nam čuveni prikaz novog grada Jeruzalema. Dok se s jedne strane divimo ljepoti toga prikaza, istodobno smo uistinu i zbunjeni te se pitamo koji bi bio smisao takvog prikaza (usp. Otk 21–22). Naravno, uzimajući u obzir književnu vrstu Knjige Otkrivenja te njezin simboličan govor dolazimo na neki način do mogućeg odgovora o smislu i značenju prikaza novog Jeruzalema u Knjizi Otkrivenja. Međutim, opis novog grada Jeruzalema ipak nas dovodi i pred temeljno pitanje o tome je li prikaz novog grada Jeruzalema u Knjizi Otkrivenja utopija ili realnost? Stoga autor u ovom radu, uzevši u obzir novija istraživanja ove apokaliptičke knjige, nastoji na sveobuhvatan način pristupiti iznalaženju odgovora na pitanje o realitetu prikaza novog grada Jeruzalema u Knjizi Otkrivenja. The two final chapters of the Book of Revelation introduce the famous account of the new city of Jerusalem. While, on the one hand, we admire the beauty of this depiction, at the same time we are truly confused and wonder what the meaning of such a presentation would be (cf. Rev 21-22). Indeed, taking into account the literary genre of the Book of Revelation and its symbolic discourse, we come to a possible answer in some way about the intent and meaning of the depiction of the new Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation. However, the description of the new city of Jerusalem still presents us with the fundamental question – is the depiction of the new city of Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation a utopia or reality? Therefore, the author of this article, taking into account the recent research of this apocalyptic book, seeks to comprehensively approach the answer to the question about the reality of the depiction of the new city of Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation.
