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
these coming eras.
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.”
