After the Second Coming: Eternity

Now 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. Revelation 21:1 

After Jesus’ Second Coming and judgment, Revelation 21:1 tells us that Christ will establish a New Heaven and a New Earth…

To learn about that place, read Revelation 21-22, regularly and often.  If you are a believer, that is your eternal home.  If you aren’t interested—you should be, since this life is temporary and eternity is—well, eternal!

We should be looking forward to, excited about, and anticipating Heaven.  Read the following and think more about Heaven: 

Revelation 21:2-8  Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.  3  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. God Himself will be with them and be their God.  4  And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."  5  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."  6  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.  7  He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.  8  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."

That is the “end of the story,” and the beginning of eternity

What is “the story” about?  It is about God’s plan to create a people for Himself.  But what is the point of the story and plan? Tune in next time!
