gold streets in heaven

In Revelation 21, the New Jerusalem is described as being made of pure gold
and precious stones (Rev 21:15-21). It seems that this is pointing to the ultimate
fulfillment of this “commonality of all wealth” theme. No longer is wealth and
power accumulated in the hands of the few.
It is there for all of the people of
God.

If the people of God today could only begin to live this out, how much
different (i.e., set apart, holy) would we be from the rest of society? ---from hope for new york kingdom document

and--by the way--when you read....
No longer is wealth and
power accumulated in the hands of the few.

you shouldn't think, "Yeh, like right now Trump & Sam Walton have it all."

you should think, "Yeh, like right now we (americans) have it all."
