I think about it everyday. It is always on my mind and I should not think of it in the sense that I do. "The End" is coming. There is an end to everything. Everything "Earthly", that is. God let John see what was coming. In Revelation 21:1-4 - "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. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. 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." It is so amazing and brings me to tears just thinking about the grace of GOD! Verse 4 is my favorite! 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!
Of course, this vision is God's new Jerusalem! He is setting this kingdom up right now. When this time comes, the new city will float down from heaven, upon this new earth. This earth is going to undergo some major changes. It is never going to END. The earth will never die, but the earth as we know it will be no more. It will be changed, just as we will be changed. SO here we all are, after everything is said and done and this Kingdom just comes out of the heavens and in the next instance we hear a great voice say, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God!" So who's voice is this? Who is going to say this? Is it God? I believe that it is Gabriel. Gabriel's main purpose is to bring messages to God's people. SO I believe the GREAT voice is Gabriel. I can't even begin to imagine what that great voice will sound like! I believe when Gabriel speaks you will feel it rumble through you whole body! But here we are with this new kingdom and then, God will be with us! We will dwell with God. The thought of being with God makes me fall to my knees. I can't imagine looking upon the face of the creator, in all his glory and mercy. It will be so overbearing it would make you want to cry! But there will be no more tears. Thank God! God is going to stop all tears. NO more death! No sorrow! No crying! No Pain! can you imagine! you better start getting excited. I can't wait for there to be no more sorrow. Think of all the sorrow that goes on in one day in this world, let alone a week, month, year, decade. All of the tragedies that happen over time, wars, hatred, bombings, terrorists, plagues, famine, diseases! Cancer! Tumors! THERE WILL BE NO MORE PAIN! NO MORE SORROW! Why is this?
Because the former things are passed away! God will change this world...
Why would anyone not want this for eternity? Why would someone deliberately reject the gift of salvation! Are you happy when tragedy strikes. Do you like to cry, to hurt, to see people die! If you like pain then you will enjoy hell, because there is going to be pain like you can never imagine! Heaven and Earth have only one thing in common. The inability to die. Death will not be granted to those in hell. You will suffer forever. Imagine, burning forever... If you want that, it is very easy to get. If you want what was shown to John, the everlasting peace and fellowship with the creator of the earth and stars, all you have to do is give your life to Jesus Christ. God loves us. He made us to love. And we strayed too far from his fellowship, so he sent His son Jesus to die on an awful cross to pay for the sins that you have committed. If you accept that salvation, if you say, "Yes, God, I am a sinner. I have sinned. And I believe that you sent your Son to die for me. I accept your son into my heart. Forgive me of my sins God." and you mean that with all of your heart, you are saved. AMEN!
