“And
God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death,
nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have
passed away.” Revelation 21:4
One day when time on this earth is
no more, our faith shall be rewarded.
The current heaven & earth shall flee
away as recorded in chapter 20, verse 11.
A New Jerusalem shall come down out from God’s heaven. This is where true believers will live for all
eternity in the presence of the Lord.
God’s creation had become tainted by
sin through the actions of Adam & Eve.
The Lord doesn’t repair His creation; He re-creates it for His children
to enjoy. Our eternal destination will
be a place of perfect peace and joy.
There shall be no fear, nor any sickness or death; neither shall there
be any pain or sorrow. There will be no
reason to cry for the author of evil, Satan, and all His fallen angels (the
demons) will have been thrown into a lake of fire. Every negative thing will have been done away
with. Think about that for a
moment. This will be the real life
global realization of what has taken place in each believer’s personal life … “old things are passed away, behold all
things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Our lives this side of heaven are
far from perfect, however, they could always be much worse than they are. We must never lose hope or compromise our
faith and trust in God, for what He has said would take place in the future
through His prophets of old, shall take place when He has made everything
ready. We mustn’t grow weary of well doing [1], for our timing is not at all what
God’s timing is. We need to ask
ourselves if God has ever failed us and in the light of that answer, continue
to trust Him to bring all things to fruition in their proper time. Until Christ’s Return, walk with the King and
be a blessing!
