THE NEW HEAVENS and NEW EARTH.

There is a specific time when God will purge and purify the heavens and the earth by fire.

`And I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven
and the first earth had passed away.
Also there was no more sea.`
(Rev. 21: 1)



It is the time when God in the highest heaven makes all things new for His sons Israel, in the New Jerusalem and Israel and the nations on earth. Thus the new city made by God in heaven is complete with the appointed people and so descends to its appropriate area near the earth. It is here that the nations of the world will be guided and ruled.

` Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God,...`
(Rev. 21: 2)



The New Jerusalem is thus the Administrative centre for God`s rulership through Israel over the earth. It is also the means whereby God connects and interlocks the spiritual and physical realms. The symbol of this is the `Bride,` representing this connecting and interlocking.


`Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem,
coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from 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 will be with them and be their God.`
(Rev. 21: 2 & 3)



Here we see the fulfilment of what God had promised to Israel. (Isaiah 54) God promised to Israel that He would come and dwell with them and they would know His presence and His glory in their midst. Excluded from this wonderful life are those who have turned away from God.

`And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes;
there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying,
and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
`Then He who sat on the throne said,
“Behold, I make all things new,” And he said to me
Write, for these words are true and faithful.”
`And He said to me, “It is done!



I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.
I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts
he who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.



But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral,
sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake
which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
(Rev. 21: 4 – 8)
