What do you think eternity will be like? Do you have the false belief that eternity is spent in heaven? Or do you realize there will be a new earth and a new heaven? Do you know there will be a new Jerusalem where God will be among his people?
Many have foretold the end of the world. Yet, all of them to this point have been wrong. There are also many who are wrong about where we will spend eternity. Many believe we spend eternity in heaven. Yet, that is not what we read in God’s Word.
John tells us in his revelation there will be a new earth and a new heaven. Though he does not explicitly state the current earth and heaven will be restored. He states there will be a new heaven and earth. This may very well mean the current earth and heaven is renewed, made new, and becomes what God originally intended it to be.
John also states there will be a new Jerusalem that comes down from heaven. God will be in the new Jerusalem. He will come to live among his people. All the nations will come to worship God in the holy city.
Finally, John states the sea will be no more. There will be no more threat of world flooding. There will be no more threat of destruction. And all of this has been foretold in multiple places throughout the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments.
I pray we will look forward to eternity spent with God. I pray we know there will be a new earth and new heaven. I pray each one of us look forward to worshiping God in the new Jerusalem. Spend eternity with God. There will be a new earth and heaven. There will be a new Jerusalem.
Revelation 21:1-2 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
