All Things New
.
Satan, all of his fallen angels and all of unsaved humanity have been cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone. There is now only one thing left.
God will now be giving the rest of saved humanity their final reward – the New Heaven and New Earth.
This will be our final abode and resting place with the Lord.
During the 1000 year Millennial Kingdom, Jesus Himself will rule our earth from the city of Jerusalem in Israel.
Here are some of the things that will happen in this New Heaven and New Earth:
1. Our earth as we know it now and our atmospheric heaven will pass away.
In its place we will get a new earth and a new atmospheric heaven. There will no longer be any more seas. With all of the sea waters taken out, we will have more land space to accommodate everyone.
3. There will no longer be any more death. The curse of Adam and Eve will finally be broken and completely done away with.
(In the Millennial Kingdom, there is still going to be physical death for those humans who survive the Tribulation and enter into it physically. Though many of them will live long lives, they are still going to have to physically die.)
In addition to any kind of death being taken out, there will also be no more pain since we will all have brand new, glorified, spiritual bodies. The Bible says that all sorrow, pain, crying, and death will be fully taken away. Every tear will be wiped away.
There will be no more sickness or disease! Our new, glorified, spiritual bodies will no longer age, corrupt, die, or be subject to any kind of disease or illness ever again.
4. All things will be made brand new. Our imaginations can even begin to conjure up or imagine what this verse is trying to tell us.
5. God the Father Himself will come down to our earth to live and dwell with all of us forever and ever.
We will no longer need the temple that will be in Jerusalem, as both God the Father and Jesus Christ will now be the Temple Themselves!
The Bible says that the tabernacle of God will now be with men, that we will dwell with Him, that we will be His people, and that He will be our God forever and ever.
6. Jesus will be ruling this entire earth from the city of Jerusalem. It will be God’s capital. However, in the New Heaven and New Earth, we will be getting a New Jerusalem.
The New Jerusalem coming down direct from heaven will be a square - its length will be as great as its width.
The Bible says that the tabernacle of God will now be with men, that we will dwell with Him, that we will be His people, and that He will be our God forever and ever.
Bible scholars estimate that this city may literally be 1500 miles wide. It will be huge!
Its walls are constructed of jasper. The city will be pure gold like clear glass. The streets of this city will be pure gold.
The foundations of the walls will be adorned with all kinds of precious stones – the first foundation being jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius.
The seventh foundation will be chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. There are 12 foundations and each foundation is made with a different beautiful element. (Revelation 21:19-20).
There will be 12 gates, each gate being made of solid pearl. Each of the 12 gates will have an angel on it. There will be 3 gates each to the north, south, east, and west.
Since all of the bad and unsaved people will have already been taken out, there will be no one left that will be able enter into this holy city that will defile it, or cause any type of abomination in it. As a result, the gates to this holy city will always be open.
Summary
Our earth and heaven as we know it now will pass away. In its place we will be getting a New Heaven and a New Earth. There will be no more seas. (Revelation 21:1)
The tabernacle of God will be coming down from heaven to this new earth and God Himself will literally be dwelling with all of us. It says that He will be our God and that we will be His people.
God will wipe away every tear. There will be no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain ever again. All of the old and former things will now pass away. Now God will make everything completely brand new! (Revelation 21:3-5)
There will be no more temple because God and Jesus will now be the temple Themselves. We will no longer have the sun or moon because God Himself will be illuminating the earth with His glory. There will be no more night. The gates of the New Jerusalem will also be open to all of the nations. (Revelation 21: 22-27).
The New Jerusalem coming down direct from heaven will be a square - its length will be as great as its width.
The Bible says that the tabernacle of God will now be with men, that we will dwell with Him, that we will be His people, and that He will be our God forever and ever. (Revelation 21: 22-27)
The curse from Adam will be no more. We shall be able to see the face of Jesus. We shall reign with God and Jesus forever and ever. (Revelation 22:3-5)
Conclusion
Things are going to get bad in the future, and possibly in the near future for all of us. Every Christian has to keep his eyes on the final end.
We will first be getting 1000 years of perfect peace in the Millennial Kingdom. Then we will receive the final and ultimate end which will be the New Heaven and New Earth – where God the Father Himself will come down to live with us forever and ever.
This New Heaven and New Earth is going to be beyond anything that our imaginations can even begin to conjure up. The Bible gives us only a partial vision and knowledge of what we are all going to end up with in this new heavenly environment.
The Bible tells us exactly what is in store for all of us in the future. When you put all of these verses together like you would pieces to a jigsaw puzzle, the knowledge and revelation comes through loud and clear.
Things are going to get bad, and really bad in the coming years!
God will win in the end. The Millennial Kingdom and the New Heaven and New Earth will be the final reward for all who hold fast to their faith in the Lord during these very trying times.
Keep your eyes on this final and glorious end with the New Heaven and New Earth.
Jesus has already told us in the Book of Revelation that the overcomers in this life will rule the nations of the world with Him in
Do not ever lose sight of this fact if all of these end time events end up occurring in our lifetime.
Are you struggling with a big decision or wondering how your eternal future will play out?
Why not talk to the God of the universe and let Him work in your behalf?
He says, “I will instruct you and teach you the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you" (Psalm 32:8).
Ask God to show you what to do. Pray the following prayer:
“Heavenly Father,
I admit that I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from You. I now want to turn away from my past sinful life and begin a new life with You.
Please forgive me. I now receive your Son, Jesus Christ as my Savior, my Master and my Lord. I believe and confess that Jesus Christ died for my sins, was buried, and rose from the dead.
I want to receive all that Jesus Christ has provided for me as my Savior. Your Word says, ‘Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved’ (Romans 10:13).
I believe and confess that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no man comes unto the Father, but by Him.
Lord Jesus, I pray and ask You, to come into my heart and be Lord of my life. I thank You that you have given me eternal life, and according to Your Word, I am born again.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit Who is in me now. I surrender my life to You. I promise to study Your Word – the Bible.
Use me for Your glory.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen.”
