All Things New

O. T. #1720  "All Things New"
June 25, 2020
Isaiah 65-Part 3
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. (verse 17)

LET IT GLOW

This chapter is so exciting. In verses 17-25, we read about eternity, after the millennium reign of Christ. What is it going to be like for Christians that live in their new home forever? What will we experience?

• God will create a new heavens and a new earth, an eternal state. (verse 17)
• The former things will not be remembered and not come to our mind. (verse 17)
• There will be no more sea. (Rev. 21:1)
• The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God-Jesus Christ, will be there. (Rev. 3:14)
• God Himself shall be with us and be our God and will dwell with us. (Rev. 21:3)
• We will be glad and rejoice forever.
• In the New Jerusalem, there will be no more weeping and crying, but it will be a city of rejoicing. (verse 18) Rev. 21:4
• God will rejoice in Jerusalem and joy in His people. (verse 19)
• The longevity of life will be changed, no infants nor seniors. (verse 20)
• There will be no more death nor pain. (Rev. 21:4)
• There will be no more temple, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. (Rev. 21:22)
• No more sun or moon to shine, for the glory of God will lighten it and the Lamb is the light. (Rev. 21:23)
• There will be no more night and the gates of the city will never be shut. (Rev. 21:25)
• Streets will be made of pure gold and there will be 12 pearly gates. (Rev. 21:21)

We live in a sinful world right now. We have troubles, trials, and tribulations. We weep and cry, worry and plan, bad things happen to good people in our present world. It won't be that way in the Eternal City.

So be sure you are a citizen of this future city. The only way for this to be is believing in Jesus Christ and Him being your Savior. I sure want to meet all of you, dear friends.
Is your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life?
Don't we want our loved ones there with us, too? I need to help them get prepared.

LET IT GROW

Just to let you know, some commentators suggest those things listed above will be experienced during the 1,000 year reign of Christ here on earth.
What will those experience that go into the Millennium Reign of Christ?

• They will have safety, peace, and plenty available.
• They will have property (build houses) and prosperity (crops will be planted and harvested without destruction);
• stability (enjoy the work of their hands) and permanence;
• the animal kingdom will be at peace;
• the Jews will believe in Jesus as The Messiah and source of salvation;
• God will hear and answer prayers instantly;
• Satan will be bound and soon will be cast out forever.

What a blessed time to live! Neighbors will love each other, no family quarrels, no deceptions, and all will be worshiping Jesus Christ together.
Are we ready for this new way of life!


LET IT GO
It is all in Your hands, Everlasting Father and in Your timing.
Great are You Lord!
Your name is great and Your heart is kind.
We pour out our praise to You, Almighty God, King Jesus, and Holy Spirit!
Your Word is true and we are trusting You to take care of us today, for our breath is in Your hands.
