Re 21:7 says, all who are victorious (conquerers) will inherit all these things. What things? What the holy city, the new Jerusalem brings seen verses 2 - 4.

Who are victorious (conquerers)? Who are sons (children)? Only sons inherits what belongs to the father (not friends, neighbors). Who are God's children or sons? Who are born again? (See also Re 2:7, 11,17, 26-28; 3:5, 12,21)

(Jn 1:12) However, to all who did receive him, he gave authority to become God’s children, because they were exercising faith in his name.

(1 Jn 5:1-4) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born from God, and everyone who loves the one who caused to be born loves him who has been born from that one. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and carry out his commandments. 

(Ga 3:26) You are all, in fact, sons of God through your faith in Christ Jesus.

(1 Jn 4:7) Beloved ones, let us continue loving one another, because love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born from God and knows God.

Take another look at the description of this new Jerusalem.

filled with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious gem, crystal clear like jasper.
Its walls were broad and high, with twelve gates guarded by twelve angels.

There were three gates on each side—east, north, south, and west. The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass. The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve gems: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass.

These descriptions are anthropomorphic? In that case, the new Jerusalem is anthropomorphic and the angels are guarding nothing, probably anthropomorphic angels?

These reminds me of He 11:13-16 where it says those faithful men of old were waiting for a real city, "a better place, a heavenly homeland. That is why God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a heavenly city for them."

Definitely, such city as described above wouldn't have death, tears, pains, mourning. Definitely, not anthropomorphic.

Then again, still in that same city. Re 21:22 says, "No temple could be seen in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple."

Please remind this disgraced rottennaija who is God's temple as mentioned in the Christian Greek scriptures? Born again? Anointed Christians? Are the great crowd of watchtower belief God's temple? But here, Jehovah God and Jesus are the temple in this wonderful beautiful city (anthropomorphic city according to you).

It really is a wonderful privilege to be sons with Jesus, because sons (children) are heirs, heirs of the promises and the inherit everything Jesus inherits.

But it still doesn't end there. Verse 24 points out about this city. "The nations of the earth will walk in its light, and the rulers of the world will come and bring their glory to it."

So they will be Nations and rulers who would be guided by the light if this city. And the nations and rulers will bring glory to this city.

grin if only you could read that Genesis 5:2 . And come back, not sure you will remain the same

" He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them "Mankind" when they were created. "

Name THEM ( Plural) two sexes, Human.

Surely he can't remain the same if he read that right.
