NEW JERUSALEM

   "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall never pass away."  (Matthew 24: 35)

   "In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple." (Isaiah 6: 1)


   "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.(Isaiah 65: 17)

   "Now it came to pass, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God."  (Ezekiel 1: 1)

   "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."  (Hebrews 11: 3)

   "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh:  is there any thing too hard for me?"  (Jeremiah 31: 27)

   So then, if we believe by faith that "God created the heaven and the earth"  (Genesis 1: 1), we should also be able to believe by faith that God:  can do it again!
  


   "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 they shall be his people, 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 shall pass away.
   And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it:  for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
   And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
   And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof:  for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests:  and we shall reign on the earth."  (Revelation 21: 1-4, 23; 5: 9)
