(Ef. 5:25‑27,30‑32)
 I apprehend that the New Jerusalem is the tabernacle of God. It is where He abides in a very special sense. And this tabernacle of God descends out of heaven to be with men. The heavenly saints compose the tabernacle of God; while those that are found upon the new earth are simply described as "men." They are no longer Jews and Gentiles then, as in the millennium; this will have all passed away with "the first or former things." Every distinction which had to do with time is at an end. (Lectures on Revelation 21: Part 1 by W. Kelly)
 The Holy City: New Jerusalem. The bride displayed in glory; not her dwelling place. (Revelation 21 Symbols by A.H. Burton)

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Erasmus appears to be responsible for putting "the new" at the end, not the beginning, of the phrase, which would perhaps admit of the marginal rendering of the RV "coming down new out of heaven," though the text seems to me correct as in the KJV.
b
The Edd., with many good MSS. omit "John." It is one of those unseemly additions for which Erasmus appears to be responsible, following no known Greek copy but the Clementine edition and inferior manuscripts of the Vulgate. For the more ancient Latin copies reject "I John."
c
"Out of the heaven from God" is the true order, though some later MSS. support the T. R. text and the KJV.
