Revelation21:2
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem , coming down from God out of heaven , prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
That is, the whole Chorus or Number of the Elect of God, answering God's Chosen People in Ierusalem.
Not locally coming down, but who had their Original from Heaven, and were all persons of Heavenly Minds.
In their best Robes of Glory, such as Brides use to wear, when on their Wedding-day they adorn themselves for their Bridegrooms.
