REVELATION REVEALED

THE NEW HEAVEN & THE NEW EARTH. 

 (Rev. 21) “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first … were passed away: and there was no more sea.” After the Great White Throne Judgment, God completely renovates the “heaven” and the earth by fire. 2 Peter 3:7-13 shows us this most graphically. The original Earth “perished” by water, now this earth is to “perish” by fire. The Earth has had its Baptism by Fire. 

How this is to be achieved and whether is a completely new earth, is a matter of speculation, but the perfect eternal universe is to come. There will be no more sea! Today, 5/6th of the Earth’s surface is covered by waters and is not only useless to mankind, but also presents great hindrances and dangers. In the New Earth, the total surface will be available for habitation. Imagine the earth with 5 times its present land area, filled with beautiful rolling visits of parkland, streams, forests and whole prairies of flowers! And into this perfect Paradise, God will bring the Redeemed. 

The Meek will at last inherit the Earth! There will be no overcrowding or disputes over territories! There will be no more sin and no more death, for Hell and Death, both, together with the Sea, (Rev. 20:13) have been done away with! God’s People are going to inhabit and dwell in the New Earth forever. This is Eternity! This is the Eighth Day – a Day of New Beginning for God and Man! HalleluYah . . . ! THE NEW JERUSALEM “And, I John saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem coming down from God out of Heaven, prepared as a Bride adorned for Her Husband . . . . 

“Behold the Tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them and they shall be His people and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.” And He that sat upon the Throne said, “Behold, I make all things new . . . It is done. I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. . “He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God and he shall be My Son.” The Wheel of God’s Great Plan has come full circle. 

The Beginning has come to the End only to reveal a New Beginning! This is the secret of Eternity; there is no End! One of the Seven Vial Angels takes John to the top of a huge mountain and shows him the Bride, the Lamb’s Wife – “and he showed me that great City, the Holy Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God.” 

What can this mean? The Church, those who have received Salvation from Christ, are His Bride, and they are the inhabitants of the New Jerusalem. In verse 24 we read that the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it,” and in verse 27 only those written in the Lamb’s Book of Life may enter it! That’s you and me, reader, provided we are saved! To set the final seal upon God’s Great Plan for the uniting together of Jew and Gentile, consider the gates and foundation stones of God’s New Jerusalem. 

The 12 Gates are named after the 12 Tribes of Israel; the 12 Foundation Stones are named after the Lamb’s 12 Apostles! God has builded His Holy City upon the Foundations of Christ’s Disciples, and has thrown open its Gates to the Tribes of Israel! What a magnificent culmination to His Wonderful Plan! THE RIVER OF LIFE (Rev. 22) Finally John is shown a pure river of Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the Throne of God and of the Lamb. 

On either side of it, John sees growing Trees of Life, bearing a different fruit for each month of the year, and the leaves have wonderful healing properties! These trees appear also to grow in the middle of the streets of the Holy City. “And there shall be no more curse: but he Throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it and His Servants shall serve Him; and they shall see His Face: and His Name shall be in their foreheads. 

And there shall be no night there . . . for the Lord God giveth them Light and they shall reign for ever and ever!” “And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last . . . . I, Jesus, have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. 

I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and Morning Star . . . surely I come quickly” 

Amen. Even so, come, Lord  (Jesus Christ).
