The New Jerusalem 2-1

Hello Everyone,

In Revelation 21 John rights: “I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband”.

The New Jerusalem is the capital of the eternal kingdom. God has, by this time, destroyed our universe, our heaven and earth, and this is a new one. And this is the capital city!

Will there be room for everyone? Sure! First of all, not as many will be there as some believe. The Word says: “narrow is the way, few there be that find it.”

But it will be 1,500 miles squared…a perfect cube…in other words, it’s that high, that long, that wide!

There would be room for every human who has ever lived if they had all been saved.One thing we understand about Heaven is that Heaven is a Place of Refreshing

Revelaton21:6 say: 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”.

Have you ever been really thirsty? You don’t want milk. Sometimes you want a soda or tea or lemonade, but even those won’t do when you’re REALLY thirsty…you want what? Water!

How satisfying! And in heaven, every righteous desire that we have will be perfectly and completely satisfied, once and for all!

Here on earth we pursue happiness, but don’t ever completely find it, but in heaven that thirst will be quenched! And in heaven, we’ll know as we are known…all life’s thirsts will be quenched!

All for Jesus
Phil
