A New World Order
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. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:1-8)
Thought For Today:
John spoke of witnessing a new heaven and earth, as the previous ones had passed away, and there was no longer a sea. He also saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, descending from heaven, adorned like a bride for her husband.
Are you seeking this holy city, New Jerusalem? Are you prepared to move to your new home? Our current world, as Peter stated (2 Peter 3:10-14), will be transformed and cease to exist. Those aware of this change should take steps to ready themselves for their new home. As we journey, clouds may darken the sky, but when our travels are done, there will be neither shadows nor sighs. Doesn't this excite you? It certainly does for me!
