In his The Heavenly Court Judgment of Revelation 4-5 , Dean Davis notes the repetition of the word “name” in Revelation 1-3, and connects it with the temple-name theology of the Old Testament. He concludes that “The ‘name’ is now localized on the believer. It includes not only God’s name and Christ’s new name but also the place where the divine presence is, namely, the city or new Jerusalem. This results in making the believer(s) the ‘temple’ in which the divine presence dwells, and collectively constitutes them as the temple/city or new Jerusalem, as in Ezekiel 40-48.”
