New heaven new earth.
The bible began in geneis with the creations of the heavens and the earth.
It ends in the book of revelation with a vision of Gods coming new creation a new heaven and earth which all Gods people will live in peace and joy.
As his vision was reaching its conclusion John saw a final attempt by Satan to defeat Gods people.
But God triumphed over his enemy banishing him to a fiery lake of burning sulfur.
Then John saw all the people who had ever lived on earth being brought before Gods throne.
Books where opened and the dead were judged according to what they had done .
(at this point i would advice you to read Mathew 18:21-35 the parable of the unforgiving servant.)
Let us proceed. As recorded in the books Another book was opened called the book of life, was also opened those who names where not in the Book where sent to the lake of fire. (Malachi 3:13-18 the book of remembrance).
God was riding the world of the enemies who had opposed him and his people. With their defeat the whole of creation underwent a glorious transformation.
Then i saw a new heaven and a new earth
New worlds
John watched as heaven and earth completely disappeared: ,, the First heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. this can be found in rev 21:1. For Jews, the sea was a place of chaos and danger but Gods new world was to contain only peace and order.
As john watched, a city appeared in a new heaven, where God was enthroned.
It was Jerusalem but not the old city that John had know in Judea, this was a transformed Jerusalem, coming down from heaven to earth. John saw that it was radiant and pure, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband, (rev 21:2)
then John herd a loud voice, coming from Gods throne, saying, look gods dwelling place is now among the people (rev 21:3) the new Jerusalem had not been sent from God,,, God himself was coming with it.
to live in the center of his new world. then God spoke to john, telling him that his faithful people would live with him in this new world, and God would make sure that death, pain, disorder, and sin would never disrupt there live together.
There will be no more death or mourning as in grieving or crying or pain, for the old order of things as passed away, (rev 21:4).
God instructed John to write down his words because they where true.
He is the alpha and the omega, which means the beginning and the end. 21:6.
The city of gold as the vision continued, an angel carried upto an mountain over looking the new city of Jerusalem.
Every detail of the city that john could see shone with the glory of God 21:11.
The angel give John a golden measuring rod so that he could measure the size of the new Jerusalem it was huge 1400 miles in length, width and height there was plenty of room for all Gods people.
The city was constructed from pure Gold and decorated with all kinds of precious stones.
THE gates where en-scribed with the names of the 12 tribes of is-real and the walls with the names of the 12 apostles.
unlike the old city of Jerusalem, the new city was dominated by a temple. there was no need for it, the temple had been the meeting point between God who lived in Heaven and his people, who lived on earth.
But in the new Jerusalem God would live among his people heaven had come down to earth.
The river of life Through the of the city John saw a river, Flowing out from Gods throne. as the life giving water flowed through the city, it watered the trea of life.
This tree was constantly bearing fruit, all through the year, bringing healing to the nations of the world, Gods presence in the city was the source of light, so there was no longer such a thing as night and there was no need for the light of a lamp or the light of the sun (rev 22:5.) nothing impure would ever enter the city and only those whose where written in the lambs book of life (rev 21:27) would live there.
The angel turned to John and told him to remember all he had seen. It would not be long before it all happened Gods new heaven and earth where coming soon. God bless
