4/25/2023 0 Comments Book of lifeThere will be joy in this future kingdom, and unity, and love unto God and to one another. The Bride of Christ, His Church united, will rule with Him from the New Jerusalem. I wish we all could grasp the concept of what the Scripture is saying. God’s Presence will shine – His Shekinah glory will shine throughout that New Jerusalem. The Presence of God will not be limited to the Temple Holy of Holies as was done in the Old Jerusalem. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. Revelation 21:22-23 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. The New Jerusalem will differ from the Old Jerusalem in that: This is a literal city, for we are given dimensions in Revelation 21:10-21. Jesus Christ as the “Second Adam” will rule the earth, and those who are His children will rule and reign with Him from the New Jerusalem. The Bible tells us that:Ģ Timothy 2:12 … if we suffer, we shall also reign with him : if we deny him, he also will deny us : God will even recreate Jerusalem in Heaven, and lower it down to the earth. There will be no separation between humans in that future world. That which separates humans from one another, especially in John’s day, was the sea. This future earth and it’s very atmosphere will be erased of all that defiles. In this future “ new heaven and a new earth ”, there is no sin, nor corruption, nor death. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 21:1-2 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away and there was no more sea. In order for God to complete His plan, He has to eradicate the old earth, with its damaged sin sick system. When we come to Revelation 21 we see God completing what He started in the Garden of Eden. It was God’s intention for man to rule the earth on His behalf. Revelation 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:Īdam’s action had repercussions that have carried forward, and will carry forward, until the end of time. the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole worldĪdam allowed Satan to take that which was rightfully his, and control it. Rather than do as God commanded, man allowed the created being called “The Serpent”, who is: Man had life, and the earth itself as a part of God’s Grace.Īnd man blew it. FIVE is the number of Grace in the Scripture. This FIVE PART COMMAND was what humanity was supposed to do on the earth. Man was to SUBDUE and HAVE DOMINION over this earth. Man was to REPLENISH, or be a good steward over the earth that God gave him. Man was to MULTIPLY, to procreate, to make more fruitful humans. Man was to be FRUITFUL, to honor God with their lives. Man – which is comprised of the marital unit, male and female – was to do five things on this earth. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion… Genesis 1:27-28 God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him male and female created he them. It was God’s intention that humanity rule the earth on His behalf. You can’t help but feel that this present earth is not right. The Bible tells us that all things will be made new. I look forward to that wonderful day to come – that endless day. Revelation 21:5 … He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new.… Those who are His by faith are looking upon Jesus today. Their eyes have seen Him that we read of. Some 13 souls have gone into glory that we have known and loved since January. A Wonderful Life Is Coming For Those Who Believe 27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. 26 And they shall bring the glory and honor of the nations into it. 25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. 24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. Revelation 21:22-27 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
