A New Heaven & A New Earth & A New Eden

Revelation Chapters 21 & 22


21 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,”[a] for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

22 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

This morning's worship service focused on Heaven as described in Revelation

When every tear is wiped away . . .

Today was the second in Pastor Frank's sermon series on Revelation. We have learned that Christ is
in control of the past, present and future (last Sunday) and how in the future every tear will be wiped away as everything is made right in the presence of Christ.

I'm including one of my tree photos because I believe heaven will have large and beautiful trees. This one is imperfect but beautiful in the setting sun in Mt. Juliet after dinner tonight. Another tree photo is in my Nature Blog.
