Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the
first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the
Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,
prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a
loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men,
and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself
will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their
eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the
old order of things has passed away.”
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then
he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning
and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost
from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all
this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But the cowardly, the
unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who
practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — their place will be
in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
Rev. 21:1-8
A sneak peek into eternity which gives us either great hope, or fear, or
both. Have a nice, temporary, fleeting day.
