Psalms 132:13-16 “For the Lord has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His dwelling place: (14) “This is My resting place forever; Here I will dwell, for I have desired it. (15) I will abundantly bless her provision; I will satisfy her poor with bread. (16) I will also clothe her priests with salvation, and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.”
With regards to the foods that the saints will eat in the New Jerusalem, we have already mentioned earlier that the nations of the earth will supply her with the first fruits of their produce. In the above passage of scripture, God confirms the truth to us that He will abundantly supply the provision of the New Jerusalem.
John 21:9-13 “Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. (10) Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have just caught." (11) Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken. (12) Jesus said to them, "Come and eat breakfast." Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, "Who are You?"--knowing that it was the Lord. (13) Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.”
The question is then asked as to how will food be prepared in the heavenly city? In the above passage of scripture, our Lord Jesus gives us a bit of insight into this area. For we see in this passage that our Lord simply spoke the fire of coals, the fish and the bread into being, and both He and the disciples ate breakfast together.
