New Earth
New Earth
Then
I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth
passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
Rev. 21:1
After
the unpleasant day of carrying out the judgment of the wicked, the desolate and
charred earth that has been sitting dormant for a thousand years will be
recreated by God. What a privilege it
will be to witness this creation step by step.
What will the new earth be like?
For behold, I create new
heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered or come
to mind. (Is. 65:17) After the new earth is created, we will
mercifully forget the imperfect earth from which we came and we will forget any
pain, suffering and sadness we may have experienced and we will never have bad
experiences again. …He will wipe away
every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will
no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed
away. (Rev. 21:4)
They will build houses and
inhabit them; They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit. (Is. 65:21)
During the thousand years after we were taken to heaven, we lived in
God’s mansion. But when we move to the
earth made new, we will build and live in our own houses.
And the wolf will dwell
with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf
and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little boy will lead
them. Also the cow and the bear will graze,
their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like an
ox. The nursing child will play by the
hole of the cobra, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s
den. They will not hurt or destroy in
all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord
as the waters cover the sea. (Is. 11:6-9) All the animals of the new earth will be tame
and no one will ever come to harm again.
Blessed and holy is the
one who has a part in the first resurrection…
Rev. 20:6
Probation is not yet
closed; we all still have time to choose where we will spend eternity. Jesus is coming, and coming soon. Will you be ready?
