The Book Of Revelation Continues: No More Crying At the end of the 1000-year Kingdom of Christ on earth, the old material universe will melt with a fervent heat. A new Heaven and new Earth (20:1) will replace the old. Everything will be spiritual and eternal. No one there will ever know pain, sickness, sorrow or death again. Saints from all ages will live forever with Jesus in His beautiful Kingdom. Revelation 21:4 - And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. No More Pain Pain can occur in every sensory channel - touch, taste, sight, hearing and smell - anything with neural sensitivity. Pain can be experienced in every fiber of the body. Injury and sickness can cause pain. Pain can be intentionally inflicted as punishment or torture. Pain can be self-inflicted. Pain can be emotional, mental or spiritual. Scientists have even discovered that we can literally die from a broken heart. But in New Jerusalem, NO ONE will EVER AGAIN know or feel pain of any kind! We will find endless comfort in His presence. Revelation 21:4 - Neither shall there be any more pain. The Former Things Are Passed Away The past is gone forever. We cannot bring back even one second from the past. Nevertheless, the world has been affected by the lives we have lived. Every person who knows you has been affected by your life. Was it for good or for bad? The effect of all our sins has poisoned this world. Sickness, pain, suffering, and death are the tragic consequences of our countless sins. Thankfully, the old heaven and earth will completely pass away, and saints will have no burdens from the past! All things will become NEW! Revelation 21:4 - ...for the former things are passed away. Behold, I Make All Things New Almighty God created EVERYTHING. He orchestrates the spin of every atom, the structure of every molecule, and the destiny of every ray of light. He also presides profoundly over all the affairs of men. But when He finally harvests the Good Seed of the earth (Saints from all ages) He will completely annihilate (melt, dissolve) this material universe (2 Peter 3:11-12). Everything will begin brand new in His eternal spiritual Kingdom forever! Revelation 21:5 - He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. The Never-Before-Seen City Of God In this old world, the edge of space is only 62 miles above its surface. In the New Earth, the height of New Jerusalem is said to be 1500 miles. Whereas modern commercial aircraft fly at about 30,000 feet (about 6 miles high), the atmosphere of New Jerusalem will be about 1500 miles high. The divinely-created New Jerusalem will be a self-contained city with a never-before-seen eternal, incorruptible environment with its own foundations, walls, light, rivers and more - the Capital of God. The New Earth will be a separate entity. Revelation 21:5 - Behold, I make all things new. These Words Are True And Faithful A fellow-servant told John, The testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy, 19:10. NOTHING confirms the awesome deity of Christ more persuasively than the fact that prophets have for thousands of years been accurately foretelling His mighty works. The word of a true prophet is more solid than granite, more durable than all the elements, and more reliable than the rising and setting of the sun. If God said it, I believe it, and that settles it. These words are true and faithful. Revelation 21:5 - He that sat upon the throne said, ...Write: for these words are true and faithful. It Is Done! Twice, John prophetically recorded a voice from the Throne of God saying, It is done. The first occurance (16:10) will be at the outpouring of the Seventh Vial of Gods Wrath, triggering the fall of Mystery Babylon (Rome), the great and final Battle of Armageddon, and the inauguration of the Millennial Kingdom of Christ. The second time It is done! is pronounced will be 1000 years later as the New Heaven, New Earth and New Jerusalem are revealed. All sinners will be in Hell. All saints will be with Christ. Revelation 21:6 - And he said unto me, It is done. Come To God Thirsty - He Will Give You Living Water Jesus told the woman at the well, Whosoever drink-eth of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life, John 4:14. At Galilee, Jesus told the multitude, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst, John 6:35. Come thirsty. He will give you eternal LIFE. Revelation 21:6 - I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He That Over-cometh Shall Inherit All Things In that exhilarating, unprecedented moment formalizing the end of time, when the old heavens and earth have utterly vanished - melted and dissolved in fervent heat - and as the New Heaven, New Earth, and New Jerusalem make their first appearance, Jesus Christ will stand on the precipice and announce, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Then, a formal welcome to those who sought Him, I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. Finally, an unimaginable bequest: Revelation 21:7 - He that over cometh shall inherit all things. Amen
