John explains what the new Jerusalem will look like and what is to come once all is said and done. What stood out the most was the last line we read. "Let the evildoers still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy." John was told not to seal of up the Word and to allow these things to happen as they will. We are still given a choice of how to act...will we choose correctly?
I feel like overall this is saying that even the most insignificant thing is more wise than some.

This reading has me questioning how long it's been since Jesus died and was resurrected. I too found that verse to stand out amongst them. We are given a choice of if we will follow God or not. This also has me asking has this time already passed or are we still waiting. I am not sure how to interpret this timeline. It's hard to tell.
This does seem to be saying that even the smallest things can have more significance.
